    The spacious primary king suite offers a peaceful retreat, while two queen-over-queen bunk rooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements for families and groups. With comfortable furnishings and plenty of room to gather, The Lookout is ideal for weekend getaways and extended stays.

    Located in the heart of downtown South Haven, The Lookout puts you within walking distance of restaurants, boutiques, breweries, the South Haven Marina, the Michigan Maritime Museum, the South Haven Lighthouse, and Lake Michigan's beautiful beaches. Park your car and explore the best of South Haven on foot.

    Whether you're planning a family vacation, couples retreat, or friends' getaway, The Lookout offers riverfront views, modern comfort, and an unbeatable downtown location.



    The Neighborhood:

    Downtown South Haven is a vibrant beach community that blends small-town charm with the beauty of Lake Michigan. Whether you're planning a relaxing getaway or an active vacation, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

    Stroll along tree-lined streets filled with unique boutiques, specialty shops, cozy cafés, breweries, and restaurants ranging from casual favorites to upscale dining. Throughout the year, farmers markets, festivals, live music, and community events bring the downtown area to life.

    Outdoor enthusiasts can spend the day on South Haven's sandy beaches, explore the harbor and marina, or bike and hike the scenic Kal-Haven Trail. History lovers won't want to miss the Michigan Maritime Museum, where exhibits and historic tall ship sails celebrate the city's rich maritime heritage.

    From beach days and waterfront sunsets to shopping, dining, and local events, Downtown South Haven offers an unforgettable Lake Michigan experience for visitors of all ages.

Our recent stay

This condo is in a perfect location. The place was just as advertised, and my family and I really enjoyed our stay. The unit was very big (almost too big for a family of 4), but was very happy because we all had a lot of space. Will definitely book Colonial Condos again.

South Haven Fun

The location of the property is top notch. We could easily walk to North Beach and take a stroll on both piers. It’s so nice to be so close to downtown and never get in your car again if you don’t want to! The condo was a lovely size for all 6 of us. The balcony to watch the bridge and boats is a great perk. It’s an old building so has the old charm.

Spacious, beautiful master, ground level unit, with a great deck.

Our stay was for the most part wonderful, 2nd bathroom was great. Very spacious unit and love the kitchen, appliances are older but all work well. Master bath needs a mat in the tub to take a shower it becomes very slippery when wet. The 1st shower off the foyer is leaking quite bad on the left and the wood trim.
