About this property

Cozy Beach Bungalow - Enjoy Lake Views from Front Porch & Fire Pit!

With a huge amount of space, five beautiful bedrooms, and two private outdoor areas, this cozy beach retreat is the perfect vacation home for groups of friends or multiple families.

Living Spaces
The living room has been designed for comfort and your group will love spending time here. The large windows let in lots of air and light and provide beautiful views. Bookworms will adore the armchair and accompanying footstool positioned in the window — the morning light is perfect for getting lost in the pages of your most loved stories. There's also a bookshelf full of books to borrow if you tear through your own too quickly. Film fans will want to draw the blinds and grab the popcorn because the large TV and sectional couch are ideal for movie marathons. The TV is equipped with several streaming services so you'll have plenty of entertainment to choose from, and you can also settle younger guests with their favorite cartoons if they grow restless. Head to the back of the bungalow and down a couple of steps to find a separate den. This is a great space for kids to play or for adults to enjoy a quiet moment alone. The three comfy couches are perfect for a short pre-dinner nap, too! The den also has sliding doors that lead out to the private back deck. The property features a third lounge space with a couch, armchair, and TV. This space is perfectly sized for smaller groups to gather to watch the game or relax and chat, and there's a sink and fridge to prepare snacks. The overhead fan will keep you cool, and the double sliding doors can also be opened to let in a cooling breeze.

Peak & Non-Peak Season
During the peak season, this home would have a 7-night minimum and would rent Saturday - Saturday. 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 bright and spacious kitchen is superb for creating tasty lunches and lavish dinners. The open-plan design allows tempting aromas to fill the space and will have you rushing to the dining table at mealtimes. The double oven and large cooktop are great for cooking up feasts to feed the entire group, and the big refrigerator and plentiful cupboards are useful for all your supplies. Chef's knives make easy work of meal prep and you'll find all the utensils you could ever need. There's plenty of dinnerware and cutlery for 12 guests, making this property a fantastic choice for group dinners on special occasions and holidays. If any early risers need a little help getting going in the morning, they'll love the single-pot coffee maker and the Keurig. We also provide biodegradable K-Cups and a bag of ground coffee to help get your mornings started right. The breakfast bar in the kitchen provides an alternative dining area that's perfect for casual meals and snacks or for watching your group's chef in action. Just take care that they don't rope you into helping with the washing up! The large dining table comfortably seats six people and is perfectly positioned between the kitchen and living room to make mealtimes feel wonderfully communal, even if not everyone is eating at the same time. There's also plenty of space in this part of the house to bring the outdoor dining table in so your entire group can dine together.

Bed & Bath
The primary suite is a luxurious, idyllic space for those much-needed restful moments. Sink into the Casper king bed and curl up in luxury linens for the most restful sleep imaginable. USB and AC charging bedside lamps keep your devices charged and on hand during the night, and the soft lamplight is ideal for late-night reading or journaling. There's also a desk that might come in handy if you need to get some work done while you're away. The en-suite bathroom features a huge shower with more than enough space for two, and the vanity comes complete with a large mirror and lots of lighting that make getting ready a breeze. The second guest bedroom has a Casper queen bed, USB and AC charging bedside lamps, and plenty of storage. The third bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed with memory foam mattresses, and a luggage rack. These rooms share the main family bathroom with a toilet, tub, and shower. A fourth bedroom benefits from the same USB charging points and has a full-length window that lets sunlight stream in to create a warm and welcoming space. The attached bathroom has a toilet, a well-lit vanity with a mirror, and a shower. Bedroom number five contains a queen bed and a twin over full bunk bed. This room's en suite bathroom has twin vanities, a toilet, a shower/tub combo, and a large window that lets in plenty of light.

Outdoor Spaces
The covered front patio provides a spacious, shaded area to enjoy a peaceful afternoon. Grab your favorite book and drift into a state of ultimate relaxation in one of the plush rocking chairs, or gather your group for al fresco meals at the dining table that seats six. The overhead fan keeps things cool on those warm South Haven afternoons, or maybe you'll prefer to head out at golden hour to watch the spectacular sunsets over Lake Michigan (this view is best served with a cool beverage). For the sun lovers in your group, head out back and make the most of the sun-drenched private back deck. Six seats including four Adirondack chairs invite you to take a load off and while away tranquil days with friends and family in the comfort of your own vacation home. The BBQ king or queen in your group can fire up the grill for epic feasts while spectators lounge nearby. The back deck is also a great place to hang out during the evening while any young children sleep inside.

Annual girls getaway

The property was just perfect for our girls getaway. The space was clean and open and inviting. We had everything that we needed. The quality of this home and the furnishings was better than most that we have stayed in. We really appreciated feeling like we were staying in someone’s home versus a cheap rental.

Great beach house even when its snowing

Property was top notch. We were there for a family event in January. The house is less than a block from beach and just a few blocks from downtown city center. There were some minor communication issues with property manager. We were told we could park in garage which was ideal since it was snowing. Unfortunately the owners golf cart was left in the middle of the garage and the manager did not have a key. Also we asked them to come and turn up the hot water heater on the second floor because showering was uncomfortably cool. Water was warm but definitely not hot. We did not receive a reply until after we checked out. Its the off season so I understand that there may be staffing issues, etc. but that level of communication would knock a couple of stars off review if it was high season. Property itself was fantastic!

Perfection in South Haven!

Decided at the last minute to do a family get-away for New Year's 2025. The Cozy Bungalow on Clinton Street was absolutely perfect! It was newly remodeled with plenty of space for our group of 9 adults and 1 child. We could all be together in the comfy living room gathered around the TV or the kitchen table playing games. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking with plenty of pots, pans and accessories. The location was incredible, with views of Lake Michigan from the front porch and upstairs bedrooms and a quick walk to beach access and a short stroll to town. Check in was easy and communication simple when I had to change something on the reservation. The whole family agreed we need to return for a summer visit! Made so many memories and cannot wait to return!

Perfect location

My family enjoyed our stay in the home, which was spacious and had a wonderful location. Our family loves the beach, which was a few steps away, and the gorgeous sunsets. We enjoyed the farmer’s market and the bikes which were available to us. All in all it was a wonderful stay. My only comment for improvement would be to sweep the two porches and clear them and the outside fixtures of cobwebs, etc.

Perfect location

This was a perfect location!! The house was immaculate. Upgraded mattresses in the bunk rooms would be more comfortable. And the bunks squeaked a lot. But otherwise; the bedrooms and bathrooms were great as well.

Great property

This home was perfect for our stay. Excellent proximity to beaches and the downtown area. The front porch was wonderful in the mornings and evenings! Beach toys, umbrella, chairs, and towels were left by previous guests even though the listing says they do not provide them. The listing does not specify the coffee situation, but it takes grounds or kcups. There was also shampoo/conditioner/body wash provided in the showers even though the listing also says they do not provide toiletries.

Location, location, location!

Such a wonderful property. Less than a 5-minute walk to Lake Michigan; beach wagon, chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys available. My grandkids were in heaven! The house was clean and so spacious. Ashley was easy to get in touch with and got right back to us when a smoke detector started a low battery alert. This was our 6th year at South Haven and the best rental thus far. We’ll be back.

Clean, comfortable house in excellent location

All aspects of our stay were smooth, easy and comfortable. House was welcoming, clean, well equipped and comfortable. The entire experience would have been exceptional had it not been for the unfortunate coincidence of multiple construction, excavation, and tree removal projects happening in the immediate vicinity of the house that made it impossible to be in the house at all during the days we were there. Property manager was sympathetic given the fact that there wasn’t anything she could do about the bad luck. She did graciously offer us a small discount on the stay and we would happily stay again - after first inquiring about ongoing remodels in the neighborhood!

Beautiful property and excellent location!

This house was amazing! Clean, updated, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a vacation with young children and friends. There was plenty of space for a large group and beautiful lake views from many of the rooms. We were so thankful for the bikes, beach stuff, and wagon! We go to South Haven every summer with a small group of friends and this was the best year yet because of this amazing place!
