Welcome to School Street Haven! Come and stay at your own vacation Haven, where all your loved ones are welcome! This newly renovated house has everything you need to enjoy both the lovely little town of South Haven, and the always gorgeous Lake Michigan waters.
INSIDE THE HOME
If staying back at the house is more your style, there is a ready-to-go kitchen, with an outdoor grill. All utensils and cookware are provided. Only thing that’s needed is food, and your inner chef’s touch! There is a patio in the back, with a bonfire pit waiting to help cook those late evening smores. The house has both upper and lower living areas, with two smart TVs for easy streaming hook up. Wifi provided. Board games and a foosball table are also waiting for the whole family to enjoy as well!
We hope to make your stay both enjoyable not only for you, but also for any furry or non-furry children you have. For the little ones, the house includes a pack-n-play, booster seat, bin of toys, and an outdoor toddler roller coaster toy. A basement bedroom includes a set of two bunkbeds, with four twin sized beds, so the sleepovers can continue! The iconic Kids Corner playground is located just five blocks away. This beautiful attraction is just across the street from a large Lake Michigan beach. Your canine babies are welcome to join the fun too! (pet fee applies, two dog maximum). We provide dog bowls along with a fully fenced in back yard so they can roam freely. South Haven prides itself on being extremely dog friendly, with many businesses and local parks allowing you to bring them along, including the beautiful Van Buren Park just minutes down the road.

We hope you decide to spend your well-deserved time away with us at the School Street Haven house where all you need to do is relax and enjoy!
The location was great! You can walk to the beach and to downtown within 5-15 minutes. Cafe julia and the farmers market are super close and fun to go to. The house was very clean and has a fully stocked home with lots of blankets and kitchen items. Truly don't have any negative things to say about this place.

Overall everything was as described. The house was very clean and comfortable. Great location, within walking distance to the beach and downtown. The host was sweet to leave treats for our dog. The management company was very responsive when called to deliver full cans of propane for grilling.

Such a great stay! Location was close to town and an easy walk to the beach. Great space for two families with teen kiddos with a living space on the main floor and a hangout space in the basement. Had all the kitchen gear we needed for dinners at home. And we're super attentive to issues/questions we had during our stay. Thank you!

The house was cozy and had more than all the things we needed. With 2 dogs and 2 babies plus 6 adults, the space was laid out perfectly. Most of our time was in the adjoining kitchen/family room and there was space for us all. The kitchen is stocked well with dishes/appliances/pots and pans. There is even a blender for our wine slushies and a cabinet full of pup supplies. The basement space was well used with a nice variety of kids toys so we didn't have to stress about not packing enough toys. The outdoor children's roller coaster was a big hit for both of our babies under 3 y/o. The dogs enjoyed playing catch in the well-fenced yard although the gate and latch felt a little unstable, it worked just fine. The fire pit was enjoyed at night to help eliminate the mosquitos and was perfect. I would recommend this space for a family stay and if we ever make it back to South Haven, we would rent this home again. Great walking distance to town and the beach.

We came for a family reunion and this place was perfect! Lots of room, great floor plan, nice yard. I loved the little touches like the lavender mint toiletries and kitchen basics kit. All our communication was seamless and easy to share with my other family members. It is a very comfortable space within walking distance to great restaurants and the beach/riverfront. I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to stay here next time we come to the area!

Really cute and comfortable cottage at a great location to both downtown and the beach. Wish we could have stayed longer!! House is tastefully decorated and has everything you might need. The only thing we noticed that could be improved was the window draperies were very light and bright and no blinds. No chance of sleeping in! The back fence area is quite interesting too. Had a great time here!!

Every person I communicated with was helpful and friendly. The home was modern, clean and beautiful. The downstairs game room had heated massage couches that were very nice. We loved the location, just a few minutes drive to the beach and the quaint town. We walked a few blocks to town in a very nice, safe, peaceful neighborhood multiple times during our stay. Supplies were provided for our dogs and they loved the fenced in yard. The kitchen was fully stocked for our needs. The downstairs bedroom temp was a little cooler, but the bed was very comfortable. My son and his wife slept upstairs on the main floor and seemed perfectly content. I wish we could have stayed longer and I would definitely book this adorable home again.
