A Note from the homeowners:

Urban Escape is the culmination of everything we love about Summer in Michigan, spending time with family and friends outside. We designed the home for multiple families to enjoy comfortably, and what kid doesn't love a sleepover in a bunk room! Outside showcases our love for playing outside. From the pickleball court, the basketball hoop, and even the firepit, there is something for everyone to get involved with.



We love sharing our time in South Haven with family and friends, and can't wait to share it with you!

The Neighborhood:

Miami Park is a beautiful community located just to the north of South Haven - providing a well-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of all that our lakefront community has to offer. Here, you'll find all of the amenities that you're accustomed to at home and then some, all while being tucked away in the modest woodlands of Southwest Michigan. Take an evening stroll down by the bluff to catch an awe-inspiring sunset over Lake Michigan, or better yet, take the community's tram system down the bluff and spend the evening on the private beach!



Getting Around:

Getting around Miami Park is fairly simple with the layout being ovular with bisecting streets lined with luxury homes! You'll find that the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan is only a short stroll down the street. More so, navigating into the heart of South Haven for all of our local gems is fairly straightforward as well; simply hop on Blue Star Highway and head south until you reach the traffic light at Phoenix Street. At that point, hang a right and you'll find yourself immersed in all that is SoHa!



Other Things to Note:

Parking: 1 Space in the garage with 220 volt for electric cars, plus 3 spaces in the driveway



Pets: Pets are not allowed at this property



Beach Access: Neighborhood provides private tram-system to access private community beach

*Miami Park Shoreline: The shoreline at Miami Park can change from season to season. As of late August, the trams bring you down to an sandy area above the waterline, with stairs & steps into the lake at either end of the sandy area



Tram Access: Electric trams are available along the bluff to traverse the 90 foot bluff. The trams are maintained by the neighborhood association, and Shores cannot guarantee that trams will be fully functional every day of your stay. The association may need to close the trams to address repairs, routine maintenance or recharging the batteries that provide the power to move the platforms. Guests are asked to follow the tram operating instructions so the trams stay operational for everyone in the neighborhood

Beautiful home for multi-family vacation

The property was everything it claimed to be. Our family loved playing pickleball, swimming in the pool, and walking down to the beach. The house was clean and the beds were very comfortable. My only complaint is that there was no bedroom on the first floor so my elderly parents ( ages 87 and 89 ) had to climb 2 flights of steep stairs multiple times each day with only one railing to hold on to. While they did not complain it made all of us very nervous. We all loved our time here though.

This house couldnt have been better!

Urban Escape is the coolest house we’ve ever stayed in. New, high tech, beautiful yet rugged, complete with an above ground storage container pool, which we used 3x a day! There’s a pickle ball court, on side of house, which we used every day. There’s a basketball hoop which we also used constantly. Awesomeness on top of awesomeness. Big, roomy, perfect for our 3 generation family trip. From age 7 to 70 it was a perfect trip. Thank you, thank you!
