Photos and Description of the South Haven vacation house rental

This historic landmark building was built in 1927 and originally known as Mendelson's Oakland Hotel. In the 1970's it was converted into two separate residences and the north half offers over 2200 square feet of sun soaked living space with four spacious bedrooms (two queen beds, one full bed and the fourth bedroom has two sets of bunk beds) with two completely remodeled full baths. The Oakland North has been impeccably maintained and boasts all of the original architectural details of a bygone era including ten foot high ceilings, arched double hung windows with true divided lights, oak hardwood flooring on the entire first floor, stain grade mill work trim throughout with operable transom vents above the second floor bedroom doors. The feeling of the home is truly unique and feels as if you are in a historic turn of the century beach house. The finishes, fixtures and furnishings all add to the overall casual relaxed feeling and remind you that you are 'away from it all'.

The Oakland North is located on South Haven's North Shore at the intersection of North Shore Drive and Avery Street which is approximately one block east of the North Beach. For a better visual, please see the aerial photograph. The key to this location is that there are no hills, dunes, bluffs nor endless staircases to climb up and down when going to and from the beach. The location offers easy access to the beach. Other locations may offer a view but we offer access which does not require climbing up and down dozens of stairs with children, beach bags, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. Also, if the grandparents will be coming for the week they should be able to see their grandchildren play on the beach at the water's edge instead of having to stay back at the house. Something to think about! The location also offers a marina to look at the boats, several parks and an intimate downtown all within walking distance. The best location within South Haven!
