Recent South Haven vacation rental reviews

We had an amazing stay and could not have asked for a better place for our Icebreaker Weekend in South Haven. The condo was absolutely perfect for three girls, comfortable, spacious, and thoughtfully laid out. The unit was spotless when we arrived and very well stocked, which made the entire stay easy and relaxing. The location was fantastic, close to everything we wanted to do and ideal for a weekend getaway. We truly had the best time and would not hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and perfectly located place in South Haven.

This was the perfect place for our winter weekend. The boys loved sleeping in the room with the bunk beds, playing Foosball, and sledded on the small hill in the back yard. The walk to the beach was quick and peaceful. This property is an absolute gem if you have two families with kids. Can't wait to get back there!

Was there over Thanksgiving. A full Cherry pie was a really nice surprise after a long drive! Little extras like this are really appreciated, thank you.

Where is South Haven, MI?

This port city rests where the Black River meets the vast waters of Lake Michigan. It’s tucked in the southwestern corner of the state, in the heart of Michigan’s wine country, where you’ll find many charming rural towns boasting local color. Saugatuck and Douglas, with their bustling arts and food scenes, are just a 20-minute drive north.

Things to do in South Haven, MI

It may come as no surprise that the abundant water activities are a big draw to our South Haven vacation rentals. There’s something for every interest, from a day adventuring in your kayak rental to strolling along the beach with someone special.

Spend an afternoon exploring the shores of Lake Michigan at North Beach, a park open year-round where you can lounge on the sand and splash through the waves in the summertime. Cooler months mean a more tranquil beach experience and peaceful sunset views.

No matter the time of year, you’ll have views of the beloved South Haven Light. Built in 1903, this lighthouse is a fixture of the community around our South Haven cabins. When the weather is right, you can walk along the pier to admire it up close. During stormy weather, the waves crashing against it are a sight to behold from the shore, and in the winter the frozen lake water leads to incredible ice formations on the lighthouse. No matter the season, a trip to the South Haven Light is a must.

If you just can’t get enough of the lake while visiting your South Haven beach rental, the Michigan Maritime Museum is a must. Not only are there interesting exhibits on South Haven’s history as a port city, but you can hop aboard a number of boat rides, from replicas of 1800s sloop ships to modern day yachts, for a day cruising the seemingly endless waters of Lake Michigan.

Our South Haven vacation rentals offer everything you need to experience this charming city and the surrounding areas of Saugatuck, Douglas, Fennville, and beyond. Browse our homes today and start planning your next trip to beautiful Lake Michigan.
