About this property

Lake Views, Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Private Yard on North Beach!

If you are craving fresh lake breezes and sun-warmed days by the shore, The Hideout is your new favorite place. This 5-bed, 3.5-bath vacation rental features a private, landscaped backyard unlike any other in North Beach. Sink into the bubbling hot tub. Gather for a sunset seafood feast at the outdoor dining table. Toast marshmallows for dessert around the custom fire pit. Sip your morning coffee on a screened porch… and, of course, head to North Beach with just a short stroll through the gate!

Living Spaces
The Hideout's professionally decorated, cottage-chic interiors are instantly welcoming and a delight to the senses. The open-concept main living area features a comfy sofa in front of a flat-screen TV, and armchairs that are perfect for settling in with a good book. A gas fireplace adds cozy vibes on a chilly evening by the lake. Steal a quiet moment in the second living area on the third floor, featuring a plush sectional sofa and another flat-screen TV. This spot also enjoys an elevated vantage point of the lake and North Beach, and a balcony for getting even closer to the view. Need to catch up on emails? There's a built-in workspace up here, too, with an ergonomic desk chair.

Peak & Non-Peak Season
During the peak season, this home would have a 7-night minimum and would rent Friday - Friday. If you are interested in staying a full week in the non-peak season, September through April, please send in an inquiry with your travel dates and we are happy to supply weekly pricing for your trip.

Cooking & Dining
The home's high-end cottage feel continues in the sunny kitchen, with its roomy center island, clean white cabinets and appliances (including a gas range and dishwasher), and warm wood floors. The center island seats up to 4—a great spot for planning the day's activities over coffee or chatting with the chef as they whip up dinner. An adjacent breakfast nook seats 6 more. Or head through the glass doors out to the gorgeous backyard, where an al fresco dining table seats 10 beside the hot tub, gas grill, and firepit. After dinner, throw your dishes in the dishwasher and stroll to the beach for a famous Lake Michigan sunset! When you get back from the show, rinse the sand from your feet with the outdoor shower, then gather around the firepit as the stars emerge overhead. The perfect end to a perfect day at The Hideout!

Bed & Bath
The Hideout has 5 bedrooms, spread out across 2 levels for optimal privacy. On the Mid Level, 3 bedrooms include two Queen bedrooms and one King-size primary suite. The Queen bedrooms share access to a balcony and a hallway bath with a tub/shower combo. The King-size bedroom suite is for your group's VIPs—it has its own private, lake-view balcony and attached bath featuring a tiled walk-in shower. On the Top Level beside the second living area) you'll find two more bedrooms. A bunk room sleeps up to 4 in twin-over-twin bunk beds, and another nautical-chic bedroom suite features a Queen bed and an attached bath with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower.

Outdoor Spaces
This is where a lot of the fun happens! Guests will be sure to enjoy one of the 4 exterior balconies/patios, including one of which is a screened-in porch on the main level. In the evening, enjoy soaking in the hot tub under the stairs or sitting around the glow of a fire at the adjacent fire pit.

We had the best fall weekend in South Haven. Even though the weather was rainy, we enjoyed the short walk to the lake, walk to the town , exploring the cider and breweries, golfing and relaxing at the house! Great weekend for family and friends for a birthday. Would definitely go back !

The hideout

Great place, but the lock on the kitchen door going to the enclosed porch needs to be fixed it does not lock and the bathroom showers need a little bleach there was a little mold on the floor the hot tub water smells needs chlorine or something. We had a wonderful time great location.

Perfect Summer Fun

The house was an easy jaunt to the beach. The views of the lake from the balconies were amazing. The back patio was a great place to hang out and grill and we loved having coffee in the morning on the screened in porch. Adorable beach house in a fun vacation atmosphere.

Great Weekend Getaway

We booked last minute for a trip from Chicago to get out of the city and all its nonsense. The property did not disappoint. It was a very cold and snowy weekend and watching the changes in Lake Michigan and the beach was mesmerizing. Loved the hot tub and fireplace. Great weekend getaway.

Perfect beach house for the whole family!

The house was perfectly located near the beach, beautiful, clean and had an abundance of amenities. We had a wide age range of family staying at the house from great grandparents to toddlers, and it was the perfect fit for all of us. We enjoyed everything the house had to offer from beautiful sunsets to roasting s'mores at the fire pit to spending time together on the back porch to reading all the kids books at the house. We loved our time at The Hideout!

Wonderful!

House is beautifully done and we loved our time here. Would come back without hesitation. Wish the blinds kept more light out so that we could have slept in a little later and it would have been more convenient if beach chairs were provided. Hope to be back soon!

Best week of 2020!

This is a beautiful home in the perfect location for kids - literally steps from the beach and playgrounds on North Beach. House is super child-friendly - kids loved bunkbeds, hot tub, and all of the games and puzzles. We walked to Bundee's for pastries, the market, and Captain Lous. We would love to return - we had as blast!

I stayed for 2 nights with a group of friends from grad school. We were on and off the beach all day (it’s literally across the street!), enjoyed grilling and roasting s’mores in the backyard, and hanging out with music over the speaker system at night. And the sunset views were stunning! I’d love to be back again

3rd floor balcony had extraordinary views. Very relaxing and quiet to sit and enjoy lake and beach views. Close walk to beach and riverfront. Had issues with the AC Unit over running but 24 hour attendant was very helpful. House is updated and clean. Will return again to this property.
