About this property

2024 Summer Calendar Opens Late Sept/Early October!

Your private home get away! Escape the hotels and large crowds and enjoy time on Lake Michigan. This spectacular home is located in the first block near South Beach and is a destination spot for families and friends. Have a seat on the wrap-around deck to BBQ, socialize, and enjoy the views and waves of Lake Michigan. Clear views of the amazing sunsets from the front deck. Steps to the beach!

This year, we have completely redone the large deck that wraps around the house, as well as added a larger deck in the back. It's bigger, better, and a wonderful viewing spot for the sunset over the lake.

When you step inside, an open-floor plan greets you and features a large great room with many windows to enjoy the summer breezes and a view of the lake. A kitchen with brand new stainless steel appliances and an island, and a large dining area to entertain is equipped with everything you need for your stay. The large main-floor primary bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room make the home comfortable for guests of all ages. Head up stairs and find 3 bedrooms and a full-bath: two are nicely sized for queen beds, and the third is a bunk room, sleeping as many as 4-6 guests!

Ready for a stroll? You're one-block from the beach, Kid's Corner park, and St. Basil's Church! The South Haven Pier, an ice-cream at Kilwin’s or breakfast/shopping in downtown can all be yours in a 10 minute walk. Wifi and premium cable TV, parking is not a problem on this public street home with a large driveway and a garage.

Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook at home or grill on the deck while enjoying the sunset.

The house has everything you need for your beach visit. A wagon for bringing your things to the beach. Beach toys, beach chairs, sun shelters, umbrellas, etc.

The shady back yard has a hammock for relaxing and naps outdoors.

In the winter, enjoy ice skating downtown, skiing in Bittersweet, or holiday shopping on Phoenix Street!

Ohana means family

We had a wonderful time at this house. The owner was very helpful, the house was beautifully kept and our grandkids had a great time at the nearby beach.

Wonderful Stay

My family and I had the most wonderful week in South Haven at the Ohana House! The house and location exceeded all of our expectations. There is so much to do in the area (and kid friendly!). When the kids napped we enjoyed spending time out on the deck with the beautiful view. We would definitely recommend Ohana House and would love to stay again next year!

South HEAVEN!

A beautiful, well-appointed home welcomed us to South Haven. It is clean and comfortable, big and bright. The new deck is really spacious and I can see Lake Michigan from here. The owner has prepared every detail thoughtfully and provides good effective communication every step of the way. The Ohana House made South Haven heavenly for me and my family!

Family Memories

We returned to this comfortable home for the third time. Even though the weather was not our best, the vacation was one of our favorites. Inside games, leisurely conversations, walks downtown were all enjoyed. This is one of our happy places!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Smith

We purchased this house in 2018 as a family beach getaway. We've enjoyed sharing it with other families as well over the past year! We live in Northwest Indiana (after spending 12 years in Chicago) so South Haven is a quick drive for us. We love spending time here all year round. My husband and I have two boys, 9 and 6 years old.

Why they chose this property

We knew this was THE house as soon as we walked in the door. The proximity to the water and the amazing views was a big selling point. In addition, the open floor plan and spacious bedrooms made this a great choice for us. We love spending time here, walking to the beach or downtown. We take our kids to Kids Corner Park daily as it is right in our backyard. With just a few steps to the beach, you cannot beat the location. Especially since you can watch the sunset from the deck. It is a great location and we've worked over the last year to make sure it is equipped for all other families to enjoy it as well!

What makes this property unique

The view is the best feature of the house, but over the last year we have put a ton of work in updating and improving the property to make sure it is perfect for all our guests. You will find everything you need here for a comfortable stay. We just put a brand new wrap around deck on the entire house, perfect for viewing the sunset. We also updated the back deck so you can sit in the shade in the back yard. The well appointed kitchen means you will have all the tools you need for entertaining and staying in if you don't want to walk downtown to dinner. Relax in the shade on the hammock in the backyard or enjoy some sun on the front deck. We've also made an effort to make sure people with kids are comfortable here and have everything they need. Having two kids ourselves, we know how much 'stuff' you need to travel with, so we try and provide at least some of that for you to make your trip easier:) We have a garage and long driveway for parking multiple cars. The location is perfect for going to the beach or walking downtown. The street is a quiet street and perfect for a relaxing vacation.
