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.

Beautiful refurbished vintage cottage on North shore.

It was the perfect getaway for me, being the grandma, with all of my family and extended family next door in a big house. It was wonderful to have my own private space to go home to every night

Perfect little get away

My family and I had the perfect little get away! The little cottage was exactly what we needed for the weekend with two adults and two toddlers… and you can’t beat the location. Steps from the beach! Short walk to town! Inside was so cute, clean and decorated nicely. We would definitely stay here again or even stay in one of the other cottages owned by the host that offers a little more space. Host was very easy to communicate with. Thank you again!

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.

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.

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.

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.
