About this property

Lakefront Home w/Pool, Hot Tub, Firepit & Private Beach!

Living Spaces
At 820 Monroe (formerly known as Family Tides), it's easy to imagine gazing out through the oversized windows to watch the captivating lake views before you. It's equally easy to imagine lighting a fire in the fireplace and snuggling into one of the cozy sofas with a hot cup of tea. Whether you choose to dig into the book you've been saving, check your socials, or stream a show or movie on the Smart TV, this room envelopes you like a gentle hug. The basement game room is another refuge, complete with an oversized leather sofa, and TV. The kids (and the kids at heart) will happily spend hours at the foosball table. The corner table for four is ideal for either board or card games.

Cooking & Dining
The incredible, oversized kitchen is fit for a gourmet chef, complete with professional-grade appliances including a 6-burner gas stove. The double-width island features a double sink and a separate vegetable sink. There's more than enough room for even the largest of grocery orders and more food prep space than even 5 people could use simultaneously! The adjacent dining area for 12 will tempt even the die-hard “TV with dinner” folks into pulling up a chair for a family meal. If you prefer your meals al fresco, it's easy to take advantage of the outdoor grill and oversized dining table.

Bed & Bath
820 Monroe (formerly Family Tides) boasts 5 bedrooms and 4 baths across 3 levels. Everyone in your group can look forward to a restful nights' sleep in comfortable beds with high-quality linens. Incredible views await you in the large, main-level master suite, with a king-size bed, dual nightstands and lamps, and ceiling fan. Complete with a desk and chair and a separate seating area, this room feels like a true sanctuary. The ensuite bath offers a modern claw-foot soaking tub, tiled walk-in shower with a bench, and dual sinks. A second full bath is located near the front entryway and offers a walk-in shower. Upstairs are two bedrooms that share a full hall bath with a tub/shower. The first of these bedrooms offers a queen bed, dual nightstands and lamps, and a ceiling fan. The second can be used as a kids' lair or family suite, with a double-over-double bunk and a king bed. The basement offers two bedrooms that share a full hall bath with a walk-in shower. The first of these offers a king bed and TV, with the second offering a queen bed and TV.

Outdoor Spaces
Mother Nature takes center stage at 820 Monroe (formerly Family Tides). Take in the sweeping lake views from the covered patio or up-close-and-personal on your private sandy beach with Adirondack chairs. The fenced-in backyard oasis is a safe and private space for your group to hang out and make memories together. The outdoor pool is where guests love to spend sunny days splashing around. When playtime is over for the day, the auto cover makes light work of covering up the pool to keep everyone safe (especially little guests). The giant Jenga game is sure to provide some family fun and new memories. Gather around the fire pit for stories, laughs, and s'mores. But everyone's favorite might just be the warm, bubbling hot tub on the cool Lake Michigan evenings.

End of Life Celebration
The property was absolutely perfect for what we needed. We had ages from the 80s to 18 months. We had a room for everyone. Anything we needed or wanted was available in the house. Other VRBO Rentals say they rent to large groups, but don't have enough of everything to accommodate that amount. This home has more than enough for the number of rooms available. The kitchen was well-appointed for anything you might want to prepare. The beds were comfortable, and plenty of space. The location is close enough to walk to town, the park, and the beach. The outdoor space has plenty of space to enjoy different activities, from the hot tub to the fire pit and more. We would definitely stay again if ever in the area. The sunsets are phenomenal.

Perfect Pure Michigan Weekend
I stayed here with 4 close gal pals and the house was perfect. Everything was clean and as advertised. We enjoyed the hot tub, sitting outside overlooking the beautiful lake and sunset, and taking a walk with coffee on the private beach. We were also able to walk to downtown South Haven so location was great. All in all we had a wonderful stay and hope to be back, highly recommended!

Amazing weekend with family
The home was beautiful and very clean with everything we needed and more. We were a block from a nice playground for the little ones and very close to downtown. The sunsets were amazing whether watched from the beach or the patio. The garage was packed with bikes, floats, sand toys and more.

Ants!
We arrived Friday after four. Once settled in my wife had an ant crawling on her while setting on the couch. Did think much else about it. Found a few more on Saturday while in the living room. Before checking out Sunday they were a bunch on the floor and the living room table. Other than the ants the stay was perfect!

Family Delight
The property is perfectly placed atop the bluff overlooking the lighthouse and beach of South Haven on Monroe Ave. The house was adequate for our family, which included our grandkids who loved the new pool. This house has it all, and has become our new favorite. One improvement we would suggest is to clear out some of the growth on the hillside so that the lighthouse could be visible from the house and sitting areas. Thank you for a great week !

Three generation trip
Nice property with wonderful view of Lake Michigan. Access to private beach, which thoroughly enjoyed. Stairs to beach a little tricky for grandmother. Close to many South Haven attractions. Great family town. House has plenty of space. We needed to call for directions on how to use oven and had a very prompt response. Want to come back sometime.

Spacious home on the lake, short walk to the beach
We enjoyed a weekend with 8 adults, 1 child, and 2 infants at this home. The kitchen was perfect for cooking and congregating throughout the weekend. We loved all the outdoor space, lake views, and small beach on the property. The public beach is just a short walk away as well. With 4 couples, we did have one couple stay in the bunk room and another in the basement on a Murphy bed. Overall, would definitely recommend for a larger group traveling to South Haven!

Wonderful vacation
This house couldn’t have been more perfect for my family. Traveling with a one and three year old is always challenging. You can imagine my delight when I walked into the basement and it was the dream playroom for my kids! TV, lots of games, a table just their size, and a play kitchen. Lots of extra sand toys for the beach, a large yard for them to run around, a fully stocked kitchen, and a postcard view. I feel as if the listing didn’t do this property justice. We had an amazing time and will be returning soon.

Amazing house!
The house and the view were amazing! Every bed was comfortable and the location is great. You can walk down to the main beach or the park. You can also take a dip in front of the house down the stairs. The only complaint we had was some of the stairs down to the water were a bit dangerous with our older parents/young kids so just be careful!

Absolutely Delightful!
Our family went for a long weekend and had a wonderful time! The location was fantastic, on the water with amazing views (we all sat in silence one night and watched the sunset over the lake for 30 minutes), private beach access, and a walk or short drive to town. It had multiple seating options leading to the beach, a great hot tub and plenty of room in the house for everyone. The house was very clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, utensils, glassware, etc. The management staff was consistently easy to work with and very friendly. For all of these reasons and more, this house ranks among one of our family's favorites!
