The Space:
Welcome to Beach Walk Getaway, where lake days begin with sandy toes and wind down beneath clear skies filled with stars. Tucked into South Haven’s North Side neighborhoods, this freshly remodeled one-story cottage blends beach-town charm with all the ease and comfort of a home thoughtfully designed for memory-making. Whether you're here for a long weekend or an extended escape, Beach Walk Getaway lets you experience the very best of South Haven - Right from your front door.
Inside, the cottage unfolds in one sunny, easygoing flow. The kitchen anchors the home, fully updated with stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and an open layout that keeps everyone connected. Whether you're flipping pancakes while chatting with friends at the island or assembling picnic sandwiches before a beach day, the space just works. Mornings are extra sweet when they start with a latte from Café Julia or warm muffins from Bunde’s Good Eats. For lunch or dinner, grab fresh produce and local specialties from the South Haven Farmers Market, then let the kitchen take it from there.
Just off the kitchen, the dining area invites you to gather - Around the long table that easily seats the whole crew. It's perfect for seafood boils after a visit to the local Fish Market, takeout from Maria’s Taste of Italy, or a casual pizza night from Captain Nemo’s. And when the meal's over, don’t rush - This is the kind of place where the stories last longer than the food.
The living room is effortlessly welcoming, with an oversized sectional and soft lighting that beckons you to sink in. Curl up with a good book, catch a movie after sunset, or simply relax after a day exploring the dunes. The space is open but cozy, made for board games, naps, and those long, aimless chats that only happen on vacation.
When it's time to turn in, the cottage offers five inviting bedrooms, each with its own unique vibe. Soft linens, neutral tones, and thoughtful touches make each space feel like a private retreat - Whether you're dozing off to the sound of crickets or sleeping in after a sunrise walk along the pier. The primary bedroom provides a restful escape, while additional guest rooms accommodate couples, families, or friends with ease.
And then there’s the bunkroom-turned-rec-room, which practically hums with energy. It’s a space where kids can unwind, play, and turn in when they finally (maybe) run out of steam. Stocked with games and comfy spots to crash, it's where sibling sleepovers turn into late-night giggle fests.
Outside, the vibe continues. The backyard is partially fenced and perfect for lazy afternoons, yard games, and dinners hot off the grill. Pick up marinated kebabs from Bob’s Processing, crack open a cold one from Three Blondes Brewing, and let the good times roll. As dusk settles in, gather around the Solo Stove, toast some s’mores, and look up - On clear nights, the stars over South Haven shine especially bright.
And with garage storage ready for your beach gear, paddleboards, or bikes, adventures are always at your fingertips. Stroll to Oak Street Beach or Packard Park, both just a few blocks away, or cross the iconic drawbridge to explore South Haven’s marina and waterfront parks. Spend an afternoon sailing on the Friends Good Will Tall Ship at the Michigan Maritime Museum, or hop on the Van Buren Trail for a scenic bike ride through blueberry country.
Cap off your evening with a riverside cocktail aboard The Idler Riverboat, catch live music at Harbor Light Brewery, or treat the crew to sunset cones from Kilwins - A South Haven rite of passage.
At Beach Walk Getaway, every corner of the home is touched with a sense of ease and joy, and every day is what you make of it. This isn’t just a home near the lake - It’s a front-row seat to the South Haven experience, where time slows, summer shines, and memories are made in flip flops.
