Photos and Description of the South Haven vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Loft (See Description), 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps 10)

Grab a great deal on a fall vacation! Labor Day week (8/31 - 9/7) is available at $1750 and some great fall weeks are available as well. We're Sold Out for the rest season - thank you to all our past guests!

The lake is warm and there's alot going on. Blue Coast Art tours, winery tours, bike riding (we have 10+ free bikes for you), hiking the Dunes, free tennis, golf (we have golf clubs) and campfires on the beach are memories to be made.

'BEACH WALK' family vacation home is located right between South Haven and Saugatuck. Our neighborhood community of Glenn Haven Shores enjoys gated access to its' own private beach. Tennis, Ping Pong, XBox 360, Direct TV, free bikes, golf clubs, beach chairs, and hula hoops to hammocks!.

NO stairs to get to our beach. Our beach is about a 1 minute drive w/shady, free parking OR a 5 minute brisk walk from the house. Our home is not lake front and does not have a lake view. What we do have is a very nice gated access to our neighborhood association's private beach - walk down or drive down.

Mornings with a cup of coffee we're often the only ones there scooping up beach glass treasures! Campfires, alcohol and leashed pets are allowed on our private beach. These are not allowed on the public beaches in the South Haven to Saugatuck area.

Our beach is also more accessible to physical challenges due to lack of stairs and drive down option.

Sunset Park is yet another nice spot that's also privately owned by our association and sits on the bluff overlooking the lake with a couple benches. It's about a 3 min. walk from the house with a glass of wine & a delightful spot to enjoy the sunset.

Pack up a couple beach chairs and an umbrella (they're in our garage), and grab a cooler while you're out there. Get a book from our library shelves and head down for a relaxing afternoon beachside! Now you're on vacation.

At the beach, there's a foot wash, and in the summer season there's also a portable toilet. We frequently find beach glass and Petoskey stones on our beach.

'BEACH WALK' Michigan family vacation rental home is awaiting your arrival. A light, bright, open home layout provides several different 'conversation areas' while providing some separation for a larger group or family.

Enjoy the cozy fireplace room w/a library and games, This room also features a leather rocker / recliner, a full size sofa, child's rocker, and a loveseat.

'We appreciate that you pay such attention to detail' is a comment we get frequently from guests and a compliment that I most appreciate. We know that you arrive at Beach Walk ready to start your vacation and we strive to make sure everything is clean, in working order and 'ship shape'.

Our TV room has cable TV, DVD, stereo with CD, a full size sofa, loveseat, comfy armchair, ottoman, and wicker rocker. Wireless internet is provided for your laptop computer.

The kitchen is fully equipped. We also provide paper products and dish soap. The kitchen provides a center island with 2 bar stools as well as kitchen table seating for 7. There is additional seating in the adjoining dining room table for 6 more. A highchair and booster chair are available as well.

The bathrooms are well-stocked with towels and washcloths as well as paper products and hand soap. We do ask that you provide your own beach towels.

2.5 Baths: There is a full bath with tub/shower combo upstairs. There's an additional full bath with garden tub and shower combo off the main level master bedroom, and there is a convenient half bath just off the kitchen.

3+Bedrooms are comfortably furnished with fresh linens, pillows, blankets and comforters. Bedrooms are laid out as follows: Master on the main floor with a queen bed, cable TV and adjoining full bath. Upstairs there is a very large bedroom with a queen size bed, a twin size bed, and a twin trundle bed (an additional twin that pops out from under the top twin and the 2 beds side-by-side are the size of a king-size bed). This room will sleep 5. There is also a table w/4 chairs in this room. This makes a nice room for a family as it has the game table and cable TV/DVD. We also have 2 mesh rails that can be added to any bed if you have a child that might roll out.

The second upstairs bedroom features a queen bed and cable TV. Both upstairs bedrooms have their own remote controlled air conditioning (in addition to central air) for your added comfort. The upstairs has a full bath and there is an additional twin bed in the hall/loft area upstairs.

A full-sized crib and/or a pack & play are available.

The house has central air and heating and full garage w/opener. Furnished front porch area is one of our favorite spots. Deck and patio area in back with umbrella tables and multiple chairs. Nice lawn area in front and back. Hammock in a shady area of the back yard.

We frequently see deer, tree frogs, hummingbirds, rabbits, and the Southwest Michigan black squirrels. Gas grill, Weber charcoal grill, and grill tools. Firewood usually available to take to the beach for campfires.

Other amenities include: iron and ironing board, washer, dryer, and hairdryers. We provide clothes detergent and dryer sheets. We also provide beach chairs and umbrellas, water toys, coolers, lawn games, multiple bicycles, golf club sets, a ping pong table, and tennis rackets and balls. We know you can only bring so much in your car, so we try to provide most of what you need.

There are tennis courts available for your use about a 1 minute walk away. You can see the fence from our front porch and we have tennis rackets/balls. Our home is on a cul-de-sac and the area around and down to the beach is lovely for walking and/or bike riding.

A well-behaved pet will be considered (pet fee applies). We provide our guests with a resource binder to use for the towns of South Haven Michigan (10 minutes away), Saugatuck Michigan (12 minutes away), Glenn Michigan (2 minutes away) and surrounding areas.

About Carl or April Weber

Carl has lived in Kalamazoo, Michigan all his life and has many fond memories of visits to South Haven and Saugatuck as a child. I (his wife) am from the land-locked state of Kansas and have learned to love the Michigan lakeshore as well. After many years of weekend trips to the lake area, we were excited to purchase this great property in 2002. We treasure our time here and enjoy sharing our home and our knowledge of the area with visitors.

When we're on vacation, we always rent a home and we like cleanliness, comfort, and convenience - and lots of fun. That's what we try to provide for vacationers who rent our home - a nice place to make memories.

Carl or April Weber purchased this house in 2002
Why Carl or April Weber chose South Haven

We love the Lake Michigan area and always looked forward to relaxing in and around the lakeshore towns of South Haven and Saugatuck. This property is less than 1 hour from our home in Kalamazoo, so it's a convenient escape to 'vacation mode'. The location of the home in the quaint town of Glenn, Michigan is perfect for us since it's right between the 2 towns we spend our time in: South Haven and Saugatuck.

We offer a lot of added value in nearly a dozen bikes to choose from, free tennis (rackets and balls supplied), ping pong, several sets of golf clubs, lawn games, beach toys, coolers, beach chairs and umberllas, hammocks, Xbox 360 w/games, Cable TVs in all bedrooms and TV room as well, marshmallow forks for your campfire and more! All that's missing is you.

What makes this house unique

We really enjoy the serene feeling here, while being right between 2 major Lake Michigan beach resort towns. This year we had a small Bambi look-alike that would visit the pear trees in our yard. Hummingbirds are frequently seen, as well as raccoons, rabbits, black squirrels, and deer. We love to take walks and ride bikes - either down to the beach or just around the gated neighborhood. But the private beach is probably our favorite where we can walk for miles and have a campfire if we want to. Soft sand, clear water - you just can't beat it. If you want more action, just drive 10 minutes either way.

Our vacation experience this fall

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Oct 8, 2012
  • Stayed: Sep 2012
We stayed at Beachwalk the last week in Sept, 2012 just as the colors were beginning to show. We had a wonderful time here, and the owners, Carl and April were very hospitable and easy to work with. We were amazed at just how many amenities were provided with the home, but the best part was the easy access to the beach! I haven't been able to go down to the beach for quite a few years due to back problems & 2 knee replacements, but this beach is very handicapped accessible! I would highly recommend Beachwalk for anyone who has problems with those long flights of stairs you usually find to get to the beach! We will definitely be coming back if we're able to get a reservation. Another great amenity is the proximity to towns such as Saugatuck, South Haven, Holland, & St. Joseph. One other thing - Carl and April have the home decorated very nicely - it is warm and cozy!

Owner's Response: Thank you Terry and Carol. It was a pleasure to host your Lake Michigan vacation. You mentioned the easy access to our beach and that is one of our most coveted assets! Many folks don't realize that the lake shoreline down to most beaches is very steep with a long flight of stairs to go down with all your things and at the end of the day - up those stairs. We love the fact that as you pointed out, we have no stairs and can drive nearly up to the shore, drop off our things, are park a few feet away. It's very handy at night after an evening campfire on the beach as well.
We hope you'll be back to see more of South Haven, Saugatuck, and St. Joseph (what we call the "Triple S" trifecta of Lake Michigan) - and when you do, hopefully you'll stay at Beach Walk again! Carl & April

Wonderful late summer vacation at Beachwalk

  • Submitted: Sep 10, 2012

I selected this house based on some of the reviews here, and I have to echo the glowing recommendations! It's just a really very lovely home, spotlessly clean, and well-stocked with everything you could ever think of needing and more. We have a one-year-old, and they had a high chair, crib, pack&play, and booster seat - not to mention a ton of fun inflatables and toys for the baby to play with, whether in the comfortable living room or at the beach. If you don't have children, it would be great too - nice decor and very comfortable. Glenn Haven Shores is a very quiet, beautiful, upscale area, and the beach is very raw and untouched - plenty of space for everyone. We took bikes down to the Kal-Haven trail, which was definitely worth it, ate at restaurants both in Saugatuck / Douglas and South Haven, checked out antique places nearby, drank our evening wine on the front porch, and bought fresh fruit and baked goods at all the area farmstands. It was just a really lovely week, and I'm so happy we chose this home. Thanks Carl and April for sharing it with us.

Owner's Response: Thank you Karen and we appreciate your kind words. It sounds like your family was able to take advantage of all the summer pleasures available in the area. I'm sure you have some great pictures and memories and we'd love to have you back again sometime. Take care. Carl & April

Our stay at this home was excellent. Carl and April have provided so many more extras than most rentals - from beach chairs and floats to basic spices in the cabinets. The house was very clean with comfortable linens and a well stocked kitchen. We went to the beach every day, which is a short walk across the street and down a steep hill - or you can drive right to parking with your car loaded. We enjoyed the hammocks and ladder ball and the bikes were well used back and forth to the beach.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Thanks for staying at Beach Walk Larry. It sounds like your family had a good time. We try to have as many amenities available as possible and each year we add to it. We know everyone arrives with a car fully loaded and there's no room for all the extras you want - and need on a summer vacation like coolers, beach umbrellas, hot dog forks, and so forth. So, we try our best to have all the extras here for you. We always hope that having some basic staples and condiments available is helpful as well. After all, who wants to buy a full bottle of olive oil for a drizzle on your summer tomatoes! Anyway, thanks for your compliments and I hope our paths may cross again. All the best to you and your family. Carl & April

Our family had a fabulous time on our vacation! The home was very clean, well kept and stocked with everything we needed. There were no surprises- everything was exactly as described! We loved riding bikes, playing ladder ball, and just relaxing at the house. We have a large family and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out.

There were so many things to do in the area. We loved the private beach, especially building a fire, making s'mores and watching the sun set. The town of South Haven was our favorite, although we enjoyed visiting Douglas and Saugatuck as well. The sand dune buggy ride in Saugatuck was a blast! We highly recommend it for adults and kids of all ages!

The little town of Glenn is very close and cute. We were disappointed the antique shop was closed the two times we tried to visit. Apparently it is open more in July and August. We visited the public beach and park in Glenn. It was really nice, not crowded, and had clean restrooms in the park. The park is all wooded with picnic tables and grills. Lots of playground equipment for younger kids!

The owners of the home were so great to work with. They promptly answered emails and any questions we had. They also checked on us while we were there to make sure everything was okay. We left a computer remote and they mailed it to us within a few days. They are awesome!

This was our first experience renting a home and it was the best! We would HIGHLY recommend it to our friends and family- and we already have! Our kids said they loved it as much as Florida. And it was only a 4 hour drive for us! We will definitely do it again! :)

Highly recommend Beach Walk to any one who wants to have a good time and be close to everything. Our family of 10 enjoyed the near-by towns, beaches, bike trails, wineries and even just spending time in this well equipped comfortable home. (posted by guest on our listing on another site)
