About this property

Charming Beachfront Studio Cottage

This true beach cottage on Lake Michigan's Magnificent Mile, beautiful beachfront with only a slope to the shore, no steps to endure. Live on the beach or walk to town for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Bring all the float toys you want or even pull your boat or jet ski right up to our shore for the day, it's your choice.

Enjoy an adult beverage on our private beach during the day or a fine bottle of wine at your bonfire after the sun goes down. We've spent many a night watching the sun go down, gazing at the stars. When not on the beach hang on our common area large deck or in our quaint cottage with views of the lake.

This is one of the original South Haven cottages that has been meticulously maintained to please the most discriminant beach goer who is looking for that unique and memorable experience.

***Best for small family or romantic getaway. Ideal for 2 adults and up to 2 small children. This unit has a studio style layout with a queen bed and full couch/futon.

Cozy Cottage on Lake Michigan
We've stayed in this property for the past 5 years and it truly is magical. We really lucked out in stumbling upon this place. You are right on the private beach and less than 10 minutes from town. It's the best that South Haven has to offer.

Perfect place for a first solo trip!
This place is perfect for a solo trip. The cottage was so cozy, clean, and felt like home. It is right on the beach and only a couple minutes from downtown, which was super convenient. You have a perfect opportunity to watch the beautiful sunset every night as well right outside your door. It was a great experience!

Updated cottage in a beautiful location on the lake.
We thoroughly enjoyed this small but well appointed cottage on the lake. Part of the lovely town of South Haven, the cottage is close to everything, including many restaurants and shops but feels surprisingly private.The patio with a charcoal grill was a bonus. We hope to stay again.

Beautiful Property
We have stayed here four times and the property is lovely and perfect for a couple (and maybe a little one or two). The managers are wonderful and very easy to work with. I could not recommend this place higher and we are so lucky to find this beautiful cottage on the beach.

Lake Michigan getaway
Very nice. Perfect for 2 people. Had everything we needed. Great view from back deck. Really enjoyed the sunsets! Private beach was a plus. We did find the climb from the beach back up to the deck was difficult! Wishing there were steps. Felt like we were climbing a sand dune!

Family Friendly Setting
This is our 4th year. We enjoy being here with our son, his spouse and very our young grandchildren. It's so easy to enjoy the beach, kayaking and sunsets with the ease of not having to drag everything down to the large public beach. We appreciate the quality of the units and the upkeep of the overall property.

About the host

Hosted by Gregg

Host profile image
We’ve owned high end beachfront property for over 20 years and have rented to hundreds of lovely families and couples who have had nothing but great things to say about the experiences and memories they’ve made out at our beach. We just purchased cottage 3, and totally renovated it to provide you with the best, most relaxing stay possible, we know you will not be disappointed.

Why they chose this property

We’ve owned Cottage #1 for 20+ years and could not pass up the chance to bring Cottage #3 into our family.

What makes this property unique

You’ll get the old school cottage feel, with all of the comfort of a brand new perfectly appointed unit, specifically for life on the beach.
