About this property

Private Pool/4 Min drive to Beach/5 Star home w/ huge yard, firepit & sunroom

Off the Hook - Your resort home away from home, with > 80 5-Star reviews from happy guests since 2012!

From the moment you arrive, set your cares aside and enjoy being “Off the Hook” at this beautiful, multi-level estate that sleeps up to 16 of your favorite people!

A quick 3 min drive up 76th St/Monroe Blvd to the Blue Stairs and a short distance to vibrant downtown South Haven with its quaint boutique shops, dining options, farmers market and festivals; Off the Hook offers the perfect blend of proximity to downtown and beaches with plenty of space to spread out in this amazing home set on a peaceful 1+ acre wooded setting with lush grounds.

With nearly 5,000 SF of living space, your family and friends can gather in multiple living areas or retreat to your own space to read a book or take a nap. Off the Hook is a stunning 3 level home with 5 bedrooms + Bunk Room and 4.5 baths furnished with 5 queen beds, 1 full bed, 2 twin beds, 1 bunk bed, and a sleeper sofa to sleep up to 16 comfortably.

Begin your day watching the sunrise from the 4-season room while sipping your morning cup of coffee. This sunroom leads to an expansive, open-air deck with ample seating including lounge chairs and a gas fire table for your outdoor living. Kids of all ages will love splashing and cooling off in the private above-ground swimming pool after a competitive round of cornhole, spike ball and other yard games that are provided.

Meal preparation is a breeze in the well-stocked gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances including a double oven. Breakfast bar seating, along with a kitchen table and adjacent dining room table make every meal a family affair.

Complementing the amazing outdoor space, Off the Hook’s gathering areas include an expansive living room, a family room open to the kitchen, and a finished lower-level family room; each with its own gas fireplace and TV. The lower level boasts a bar and kitchen area w/ a second refrigerator that makes creating appetizers and cocktails for movie or game night easy and accessible. We've even added a foosball table for the indoor sports/gaming enthusiasts.

Outdoor traditions continue while making s’mores and watching the stars by the campfire patio which is located far enough from the house so as not to disturb the neighbors or the little ones who are early to bed.

After a fun-filled day, relax in one of the many comfy beds which will envelop you as you drift away into a deep sleep, in preparation for the next day’s adventures. In addition to a main floor bedroom with en suite bathroom and stand-up shower for those who prefer no stairs, the generous primary bedroom with fireplace and TV, also has an en suite bathroom with an enormous shower and soaking tub. 3 additional upstairs bedrooms share a main bathroom with dual sinks and a separate tub/shower room. A favorite sleeping area is the lower level bunk room with queen bed, double bed, and bunk set plus a secret play area for the little ones….shhhh!

While many guests comment that they never want to leave Off the Hook, a day of frolicking in Lake Michigan’s waves and collecting beach glass is a highlight, with South Beach or Deerlick Creek Park less than 5 mins away. For the shopping-lovers, downtown South Haven boasts one-of-a-kind shops featuring local treasures, along with fine dining and casual outdoor options, and seasonal events like: Harborfest, Art Fairs, National Blueberry Festival, and outdoor concerts. Nearby golf courses, local breweries, wineries, and u-pick fruit farms add to the year-round offerings. South Haven was also named the first Pure Michigan Trail Town featuring both the Kal-Haven Trail and Van Buren Trail…which happens to be right around the corner from Off the Hook, so bring your walking shoes and bicycle or borrow one of our 6 bikes.

Spending time with your loved ones enjoying all that South Haven has to offer or being perfectly content with the multitude of amenities this home has to offer will allow you to create memories that will last a lifetime. You work hard, so make sure your next vacation is Off the Hook!

*A popular vacation home with > 80 5-Star Reviews since 2012. New owners have changed the name and are continuing the tradition of enhancing this amazing home for your enjoyment!

Great place!

We loved staying at Off the Hook! The house is very spacious, which allows for big gatherings but also privacy if that is what you want. There were tons of games, pool toys, and outdoor activities. Dan and Katie were great. We would definitely love to stay here again. We highly recommend!

Awesome and memorable stay

My family and I stayed here for the Fourth of July week. The house is big and spacious, and there are multiple areas where people can gather--both indoors and outdoors. The bedrooms are spaced out nicely, and if you have little ones that need naps (as we do!), the house accommodates for this. The home is well-appointed and the pool was very fun for adults and kids. The outdoor patio is great for adults who need to keep their eyes on the kids while swimming. The yard is big enough that we had a volleyball net set up and still had room for a kickball game or two. We plan to be back!

New Years Family Get Away

We truly enjoyed our New Years weekend at Katie and Dan's beautiful home. While we had hoped for wintery weather instead of rain, we still enjoyed walking into South Haven to see the festive decorations, enjoyed a libation at the local pub and made it to the beach for our annual NY polar plunge! The house was the perfect size for our group; it gave our two families plenty of space to gather together but also the ability to take a break and have time alone to read or reflect. The home is well appointed and beautifully decorated helping us feel right at home.

September Family Vacay!

Our family of 8 (6 adults, a 2-yr., a 5-yr. old) spent a long (although, not long enough!) weekend at Off The Hook and had a wonderful time! The house is all that the pictures promise and was large enough that we could all be together or spread out when we wanted. It's furnished with everything you could need (or want), including a restaurant-quality waffle maker that we used every morning! The yard games, bikes, double stroller, bubbles, chalk etc. kept us all as busy as we wanted and the pool let us not be busy at all! The location is perfect; so close to the beach and adorable South Haven. The owners are very attentive and accommodating. Great to work with! Highly recommend and hope to return!!
