About this property

Perfect for Family - HEATED POOL thru early Oct, WALK to Downtown/Beach, HOT TUB

'Sunset Center' is an adjacent pair of family vacation houses. The 'Sun House' is a 6 bedroom, 4 bathroom vacation home featuring a private gated 15x30 heated swimming pool, 6 person hot tub, playscape, and wooded ravine lot with fire pit. The property is an easy 4 block walk down the sidewalk to South Beach, Kid's Corner, and downtown shopping and dining.

All comforts of home are provided, including washer and dryer, linens, all major kitchen appliances (including refrigerator with ice and water dispenser, range, dishwasher, and microwave), kitchen utensils, free wireless Internet, 8 cable TVs (Four X1 Voice Enabled boxes with apps such as Netflix, Youtube, and access to the HDR, and 4 basic cable boxes for the remainder), many DVD/VCR players, CD players, just to name a few.

The house is perfect for families with children of all ages. The pool and hot tub are gated for your protection. Both the front and back yards are fenced.

Family-friendly items included are books for all ages, toys, puzzles, movies for all ages, well-loved bikes, riding toys, high chair, full size crib with rocking chair, baby gate, exersaucer, strollers, sippee cups, baby monitor, booster seats, kid-sized picnic table, and pool toys.

Enjoy the flexibility and convenience of having 6 private bedrooms, conveniently located throughout the house! 4 bedrooms are upstairs. One is a large master suite with private bathroom. Another full bathroom is in the upstairs hall. 2 bedrooms are downstairs, each adjacent to separate full bathrooms. The house has an open design, with the living room, dining area and kitchen all open to each other in a 'great' room. The sunroom overlooks the backyard pool and wooded ravine yard. The sunroom can be accessed from either the hallway or through the kitchen.

There is another bonus room downstairs that is referred to as the 'futon room' or the 'play' room since it can be closed off as a 7th bedroom with a futon or utilized as a another common living room with a TV/VCR/DVD with a video library and bookshelves loaded with books, games, and toys.

The pool will be open and heated from mid May until approximately October 1. The hot tub is open and heated year-round. Enjoy the rare warm water in South Haven in June and September!

Need even more space? My property actually has 2 houses next door to each other. My Ice House is another 6 bedroom house right next door.

NOTE: Outdoor security cameras are in use at the front door and driveway only.

Great house, great location
We go someplace every new years weekend to celebrate a family gathering. This property ty was exceptional! Very well stocked, everything worked as it should, close proximity to downtown and the owner, Jim, was accessible when we needed him. It’s definitely a property we would come back to.

Wedding weekend
This property was beautiful. Since we came for a wedding we were busy for the most part but when we got time to relax this was the place. If we would come to the area during the summer time this would be the place.

Golf and shopping trip with friends
We had an awesome time in South Haven. The house was big and roomy and offered plenty of space for our group of 8 adults. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your property.

Nice spacious house
There was 8 in our family group, plenty of sleeping options. Kitchen a little small. Arcade game was a hit. I would recommend paying the extra and renting the golf cart. Convenient to downtown and lake. Overall good place to stay. Would not recommend October, lots of place and things to do were closed and it rained all 3 days.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Havlik

Host profile image
We have family photos taken in South Haven each year. Shown here is a sample of one of our 2011 photos taken on South Beach.

Why they chose this property

We vacationed in South Haven for the first time in August of 2004. At that time, we had a family of 4, with a newborn and 1 year old. The town was so beautiful and kid-friendly that we knew we wanted to come back over and over. Since we are originally from Illinois and now live in the middle of Michigan, the South Haven location is a perfect meeting place for our family gatherings. We fell in love so quickly with the town that we purchased a 3 bedroom house in South Haven in November of 2004. We labored all winter to completely renovate the house into a 6 bedroom vacation home specifically designed for family reunions. We finished just in time for the summer of 2005 summer renters and the rest is history, with 100+ family reunions enjoyed at our homes!

What makes this property unique

We sincerely believe our properties are unmatched in the South Haven area for a family vacation. We have packed more amenities into our homes than any other home in our price range. 2 homes, 6 bedrooms in each, 4 bathrooms, heating swimming pool, luxury hot tub, playground, 8 HDTVs, short walk to beach, short walk to downtown. We love being able to walk everywhere we need to go in town. We are centrally located, so that we can walk to the beach or walk to downtown in about the same time.
