Photos and Description of the South Haven vacation house rental The Beach House

'The Beach House' is a very cozy, year-round home, sitting on a small bluff overlooking spectacular Lake Michigan! Originally, the house was the Lake Michigan retreat for a prominent Kalamazoo dentist and his family. The beach is just steps away from a porch that overlooks the lake! This is great place to start your day or relax at any time. There is also a large yard with many mature shade trees. Inside, the home has a 'B&B' feel, with beautiful hardwood floors, original woodwork and lots of charm! 'The Beach House' is a two-story home with three bedrooms; two BR plus a half-bath upstairs,and a third bedroom with bathroom, kitchen, living room and dining room on the main floor. It sleeps 8 very comfortably. The home is air-conditioned and heated. 2008 'facelift' includes freshly painted interior and exterior, new furniture bedding & linens and all new kitchen appliances.

Cozy Cottage type house with easy beach access

JaminBen Carmel, Indiana
Review Submitted: June 23, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This cozy cottage type house provided my family with the perfect retreat in celebration to our son’s graduation from college. One can see the beach from just about any room in the house. The back porch and extra viewing deck provided my 92 year old father with hours of enjoyment. A few wooden steps followed by a slight sandy slope took us right to the flat part of the beach and water where the young ones had plenty space for beach volleyball, badminton and Frisbee throwing. And of course sand castle building. We were also able to bring the games close to the house with a spaciouss front and side yard. The kitchen was adequately equipped for family meals. Just a little short of counterspace if you are planning a large meal. The appliances are new and we had plenty of refrigerator space. The only thing is there is no dishwasher so come prepared to do dishes the old fashion way. The beds were comfortable and clean. Even though there are two bathrooms, the shower upstairs only comes equipped as part of a quaint old fashion bathtub (no shower curtains). The washer/dryer helped keep us from packing too much. For those rainy days, the dining area had a large enough table to seat all of us around for plenty of games and socializing. For those that like to dine out, the town, which provide a variety of choices, is less than 5 minutes away by car (it's also a nice 30 min walk). Communications with the owner for any question before the rental and during was easy via e-mail or phone. The best part of the experience for us was the view and access to the beach. We would definitely recomend this to any of our friends and family with small and teenage children as well as those with parents that may have limited mobility. It was a very relaxing experience.
