About this property

SPRING & SUMMER COTTAGE- PERFECT LOCATION - One block to Lake Michigan

Darling immaculately clean two bedroom cottage, one block from Packard Park beach and playground and four blocks from town. Newly renovated, new furnishings, freshly painted, new carpeting and flooring, new shower, new mattresses and bedding. New owners. We vacationed in South Haven eight years ago with our family and loved the North side of South Haven and found this home and cottage on the same street where we rented. It's a perfect spot in the very best location, and we are pleased to offer our cute cottage for rent weekly during the peak summer season. You will immediately be welcomed by a large deck with new furnishings for your outdoor pleasure. Everything inside the cottage is new and fresh in a beach theme. Full size bed in the main bedroom with a full size bottom and twin upper bunk bed in the second. Single pull-out sofa bed is in the living room. Kitchen is fully equipped with apartment size stove, microwave and full size refrigerator. Seating comfortably for 4-5 at dining table, but we bet you will eat outside on the deck most days. Come see why we love South Haven!

We had a wonderful stay at Claire's Cottage! The property was just as described and in a great location, easily walkable to the beach! The hosts provided everything we needed for the week, and having access to a beach wagon, umbrella, and toys was so nice!

"Our family of four (with two young boys) had a wonderful time creating lasting memories at this charming cottage. It was spotless and equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location couldn't be better – just a short walk to several public beaches and parks, making it ideal for our family. The hosts were also very communicative, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!"

Thanks for the heads-up on the front bedroom mattress. It was new last year and is a pillow top. We have switched it out for another new mattress and are confident it will be most comfortable. Glad you enjoyed your stay at Claire's Cottage.

September in South Haven

The cottage was a nice little escape for us as we prepared for a wedding weekend. It had all the conveniences of home, and the bonus was the beach sunset!
