You will feel right at home in this remodeled 4 bedroom 2 bath home with multiple outdoor spaces in downtown South Haven! The large back deck, with grill, and fully fenced back yard and fire pit are perfect for enjoying time with family and friends after a day at the beach. Have fun playing a game of corn hole, sitting on the back deck or relaxing in the 3 season front porch.

Downstairs you will find 1 (Q) bedroom and 1 full bath. Upstairs are 3 additional bedrooms (Queen bed + flip-chair/sleeper; Queen bed; and Full/Twin bunk bed) and 1 full bath. Our bedroom sizing is cozy. There are additional smaller sleepers (flip-chairs) in the main upstairs BR (as indicated) and in a 1st floor bonus room behind the kitchen to allow for options depending on the nature/ages of those in your group.

Should you desire to cook meals in, you will find a fully stocked kitchen with updated appliances and all the conveniences of home, along with a dining area with seating for 10 (+ a breakfast counter nearby). If a long day at the beach has you wanting to dine out, we are located (.4 mi) to downtown (our home to the area near "Tello")-- approximately an 8-9 minute walk. The downtown will provide you with several restaurant options (Taste, South Haven Social House, Black River Tavern, Tello, Clementine's, the Idler, Captain Lou's, Sophie's Steakhouse, Six Chicks and others like South Haven Brewpub, Admiral Jacks, New Holland Brewery Tasting Room, etc.).

This remodeled Dutch colonial has 1920's roots and upgrades for modern times. Central air conditioning, all new windows, refinished floors, and a great decor will have you enjoying your vacation inside and out!

The home is located near Jaqua Realty (their Broadway location) & is a .85 mile walk to the blue stairs at South Beach (16-17 min. slow walk) and approximately 1.2 mile from North Beach. You'll likely prefer the drive if you have beach gear, but the beach is reachable for an evening stroll to catch a sunset.
