About this property

4 bedroom/2 bath Victorian-style home ready to book! Sleeps 10!

“Home is where the heart is.” Footprints in the Sand is a beautifully cared for Victorian-style home that lies in the most ideal location: just two blocks away from South Haven's many shops and restaurants but still in a quiet residential neighborhood. The bright green exterior with unique wrap-around front porch is sure to make you feel like you’re on vacation from the minute you arrive. Furthermore, the house is within a mile of the shores of North Beach - a staple point of South Haven. This makes it possible to enjoy the home, town, beach and amazing sunsets all within your stay!

This spacious home has a functional floor plan with vintage charm for family and friends looking to create lasting memories. The interior décor has a nautical theme, original moldings, hardwood floors and antique furniture pieces. Upon entering the open concept living/dining room, the front windows bring in natural light overlooking the porch and peaceful tree-lined neighborhood street. The renovated kitchen is great for putting meals together and leads to a two-level deck and private back yard, perfect for entertaining. There are four large bedrooms to comfortably sleep up to 10 guests and two full updated bathrooms. The first-floor bedroom has a queen-sized bed, walk-in closet and on-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. Two of the upstairs bedrooms have queen-sized beds and the third bedroom has a twin/full bunk bed and separate twin bed. A second cozy family room area is outside of the upstairs bedrooms for another space to watch tv and unwind. Other amenities of the house include a large outdoor gas grill, central air conditioning/heating, washer/dryer (bring your own detergent) and ample off-street and on-street parking.

Activity options are endless to make your vacation a memorable one: biking or hiking on the Kal-Haven Trail, gathering for a relaxing beach day, visiting the Maritime Museum, taking boat rides or watching boats at the marina, going between the splashpad and playgrounds while stopping for an ice cream, enjoying local breweries/wineries, and having one-on-one or entire family/friend time while hanging out for a backyard barbeque. This is just the beginning of what this picturesque Lake Michigan town has to offer. Multiple stores including Meijer, Aldi, Walmart, Dollar Tree and Menards are also down the street for anything you need to pick up.

Our home is available to responsible and respectful groups only. We do not rent to guests looking to have a place to party. If you are a group looking to rent a party house, please do not send us an inquiry. We appreciate your understanding and respect of this policy. Minimum 2-night stay, except for peak season (late-June to mid-August) when weekly rentals only apply (Sunday to Sunday).

Wonderful Stay Close to Town

We had an excellent stay at this property! The house was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was ideal, just a 5-minute walk to town and a 10-minute walk to the beach. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient getaway.

Perfect location for a group!

We stayed with our family of 5 and friends with a family of 5 and location could not have been better! The property is set up well with seating and room for groups. Very thoughtful grouping of chairs and tables to promote conversations! Close to the beach, DT, restaurants, historic theatre ($4 tickets👍) and more! Property mgr was very easy to communicate with!

Family Gathering

We found this property online and it was exactly as described and met all of our needs. The only glitch was on the part of VRBO as we did not receive the passcode to get in until after the occupancy time. The property manager was very responsive and remedied the situation immediately. If the was any complaint it had to do with lightening. Very low light in every room but the master suite bathroom. I would be delighted to stay there again.

Girl’s getaway

The house was a perfect walking distance to town. The house was perfect and I Loved the wrap around porch. I had a few questions which Anthony answered pretty quickly. I wish we could have had a fire pit but then we probably would have been too loud especially since quiet time in the neighborhood starts at 10pm.

South Haven Stay

Property as advertised. Very quiet street. Safe, 10 minute walk to the center of town. Too far to walk to the beach with beach stuff but only a 1 mile drive with street parking 1 or 2 blocks from the beach ( if lot is full). South Haven is now golf cart friendly. Reserve a golf cart in advance and you are set. S

Very clean and quiet neighborhood

The house and property were both very clean and well taken care of. The space was very accommodating for our extended family of 10. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and we were close enough to walk to enjoy the farm market, shops and restaurants. We enjoyed all the space outside for our 4 kids to play, especially the paved driveway! It was a great place to stay and would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something quiet and away from the hustle and bustle without being too far!

Family/Friend Vacation

We just spent Labor Day weekend at Footprints in the Sand with family and friends. It was a great size home for the 10 of us with wonderful closet space and room separation. The backyard was a huge bonus so the kids could run around when not at the beach. It was a short walk to the lovely downtown area but had a full kitchen if you prefer to cook at home. We enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful trip!

This was our first time to South Haven. We had a wonderful time at this home. Loved the porch. Enjoyed drinking coffee and reading a book there. Safe for little ones. Door to upstairs and downstairs. Plenty of room. Kitchen is stocked with what you need. Walking distance to either North or South beach and town. Also walking distance to the Van Haven trail where you can see the bridge that is advertised. We brought our bikes and rode there several times too. There is a small kid park right around the corner that our grandkids enjoyed. Our children had a great time walking to town too.Owners we’re fantastic!

Lovely stay in South Haven

The house was wonderful and very spacious- plenty of room and privacy for our small group. The front porch is the best- a perfect place to relax and listen to the birds while enjoying the pleasant weather. The neighborhood is very quiet and off the beaten path just enough insulate yourself from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area but everything you'd want is fully accessible on foot. We walked to North Beach twice and into the downtown area. We always love South Haven but staying in a quiet residential neighborhood was a first for us and just exactly what we were looking for and what we'll do in the future. Thank you for the short but perfect stay!

The property is very clean, comfortable & updated. We especially liked the wraparound front porch & roomy back porch. The neighborhood is very comfortable with lots of shade.

Wonderful vacation home

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home! It was very clean and spacious for our two families with teenagers. Everything we needed. The location was amazing! Just a short walk (10 mins) to downtown South Haven for all the shops and restraunts, and of course the beaches. The neighborhood was perfect. Very peaceful and quaint. We are already planning on coming back and renting this property again.

About the host

Hosted by Anthony Pronoitis

Host profile image
I am from the Southwest Suburbs of Chicago and have been lucky to call South Haven, Michigan my home-away-from-home my entire life. My favorite parts of the area are the charming downtown with fun food and drink spots, watching boats go to and from Lake Michigan on the Black River out of the huge marina, multiple family-friendly parks and the new splash pad, and of course, the sugar-sand beaches with unbeatable sunsets. During all seasons, there are orchards for fruit picking, excellent wineries and breweries and popular towns like Holland and Saugatuck nearby. South Haven has always been the perfect vacation spot for me and my family; it is my hope that my visitors enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

South Haven is the All-American Cottage Town of the Midwest. Everything is within walking distance! The scenic beaches allow everyone to take in the euphoric atmosphere of Lake Michigan; from sunbathing to boating, there are many activities to partake in. The town itself is rich with entertainment ranging from bars, restaurants, shops and even live music during summer events! There are no limits to one's stay here, and rest assured, all troubles will be forgotten!

What makes this property unique

Location! Location! Location! Footprints in the Sand is in a quiet neighborhood community, yet only a brisk walk from all the livelihood the town of South Haven has to offer. Not only will you be minutes from the downtown area, but also about one mile from the sands of beautiful North Beach and other quaint beaches. Additionally, the house is moments away from the marina if you wish to go boating on the beautiful waters of Lake Michigan. Tot Lot Park is down the street from the house so your children are able to stay entertained before and after the days' activities. For convenience, multiple stores including Meijer, Aldi, Walmart, Dollar Tree and Menards are also down the street for anything you need to pick up.
