About this property

Fun Haven sleeps12. All season pool and hot tub. Walk to beach. Pet friendly.


Plan your next fun-filled and relaxing beach getaway at "Fun Haven"! This beautiful and spacious home has four bedrooms and 2.5 baths (sleeps 12) with modern décor, open floor plan, hardwood floors, and upgraded finishes making it the perfect place for your vacation by The Lake. Designed as a retreat for families, friends, or multi-families to have fun all day at the beach, exploring the charming town of SOHA, relaxing at the heated community pools, hot tub and clubhouses, and making memories and laughing together back at Fun Haven House playing family-friendly board games, social games, video games, water toys, and yard games. The house also features a new paver driveway and private front patio with propane fire pit table and seating for four.


Our modern beach décor includes granite counter tops, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, central air, full-sized washer/dryer, smart flat screen TVs, 4K Blu-Ray players, video game systems, garage toys, WiFi and a natural gas grill. The LARGE Master Suite has a king bed, smart TV, dual-vanity sink and luxury tiled shower with glass door. Two bedrooms with queen beds sleep two more guests each. A bunk bed room sleeps 4; bunks are twin XL so adults can fit. The playroom den is designed for kids and adults alike to play with video games, board games, and a smart TV, but also has a comfy sleeper sofa that sleeps two more guests. Baby-friendly amenities including a pack-and-play crib and high-chair. The garage has a custom-made arcade with built in fridge, two stand up paddle boards, a kayak, life jackets, golf cart (additional charge for the week), beach chairs, a beach wagon, and yard/beach games.


The back patio has a 6 person picnic table with umbrella for family meals outside. Just steps away from our back patio is a community fire pit to enjoy the beautiful Michigan sunsets, with another by the amphitheater in the neighborhood. Our house is dog friendly but please no cats.


The Harbor Club community is South Haven’s newest destination for those seeking an active outdoor lifestyle. It is just a half mile to Newcome Beach and 1st Street beach and connected to the Woodland Harbor Marina where you can rent a boat, golf cart, or kayaks or canoes. Tucked among 40 acres of preserved woodlands and wetlands and within blocks from Lake Michigan, homes in this community evoke cottage living all year round. Renters have access to the brand new community all season pool with a retractable cover, outdoor hot tub, and clubhouse plus the Marina community clubhouse and heated pool which is situated on the Black River and empties into Lake Michigan. The new all season pool is only a minute walk away from the house and the marina pool is a third of a mile walk. The community is enveloped in beautiful scenery, flanked by bike paths and walking trails, and within a stone’s throw from the City of South Haven where there is an abundance of activities and dining options. Stroll through the quaint downtown district and browse specialty shops, bookstores, and boutiques and sample some of the best cuisines that the area has to offer. Spend the day at the beach, or enjoy trout fishing in Lake Michigan from the pier, or visit the famous South Haven lighthouse. Other points of attraction are wineries & breweries and the ever popular Blueberry Festival in August.


This is a new construction neighborhood. Please be aware that new houses are going up, and we don't have control of the construction schedules of the other homes.

Family Fun South Haven

Fun Haven was just what we hoped it would be. A house with family friendly amenities, a community with pools and a quick drive to the North Beach. Our family of grandparents, parents and children enjoyed our stay.

Our accommodations were great. The house was at a good location for riding our bicycles or golf carts to the beaches, kids park, down town area, bike paths, restaurants, shopping and the marina. Our family vacation was awesome and so enjoyed our stay at this vacation rental home. The owner was available for any needs or questions. We definitely would come again!

Lovely Home

Everything about the home was great - stocked with the basics but the owners went above and beyond by having so many games, movies and beach toys on hand. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty of space for hanging out and cooking. It is a short walk/golf cart ride to a beach but it is a very small public beach. I recommend renting the golf cart to go a little further to North Beach where there is plenty of space. Community pool was clean and large - a great option for those who want a break from the lake.

Great getaway

Nice place, nice neighborhood. Houses are a bit close, but no issues. Lots of things to do nearby. Pool was great, hot tub was nice but could have been warmer. It’s a neighborhood thing, so no control of that. Golf cart was great for going to the beach. Would return.

Great place in South Haven

Fun Haven is a wonderful home with lots of toys for all ages. Very clean and provided all the essentials. Beach access is a short walk; made easy with the wagon available. Future neighborhood pool will be a house away, while current pool is a brisk walk or quick golf cart ride.

Great place for families

The house was great for our group of 10. We opted to use the golf cart for the week, which was great for getting to the beach and downtown. We also enjoyed the extra amenities included in the rental - games, toys for the kids, video games, paddle boards and kayak. One downfall was that 3 rooms had to share a bathroom - obviously we knew this going into it, but it was a bit harder than we imagined going into it. Great rental!

Many Memories Made

We had an excellent time at Fun Haven despite the cold and rainy weather. The home is beautiful and was the perfect size for our family. We played many games and had many laughs. The golf cart was nice to have during our stay but only got to use it maybe 3 days because of the weather. I would recommend Fun Haven to anyone looking to have an enjoyable vacation which is close to the beach!!

Our Family Experience (was in the house's name) FUN Haven!!

Great home for either a quick extended weekend or vacation! Conveniently located to the beaches and downtown South Haven. The option to rent the golf cart on site with all beach/entertainment amenities provided, this home offers it all! Once the 2nd pool (in the subdivision) is completed just 50 yards away, this will be the prime location. The Owner - Russ was Outstanding! Very responsive and willing to assist. We highly recommend Fun Haven for your next trip!

Great multi-generation Labor Day weekend getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our multi -generation weekend getaway at this South Haven home! What really set this home apart from other VRBO's we've stayed at in the past was the quality of furnishings, linens and touches. It seems like they really put a lot of thought and care into the pieces the owners have selected for the home. The location was great- a quick golf cart ride to the beach, pool or downtown area. We loved the neighborhood so much! Our aunt has mobility challenges and the first floor den worked great for her to sleep in! She said the pull out couch was a "dream". The owner was kind and responsive! We will definitely be back.

Family vacation 2023

The house was wonderful. It accommodated all 12 of our family members. We enjoyed all the extra amenities the house offered. The only downside was the every other week recycle pickup. We were on the off week, so we had half the can filled from the previous renters. By the time our week was done the can was totally full so now the next renters will have a full can until Monday. Overall it was a great week.

Lovely, modern home

Kitchen (knives, frying pans, microwave light needs improvement). Trash receptacle not large enough for 2 weeks of recycle materials. A little further to beaches than we had thought. Nearness to meijers good. Good laundry facilities. Grill side table non-working. Dining room nice size. Bathrooms great. Master suite super. Instruction about bed checkout status confusing.

About the host

Hosted by Russ Mahoney

Host profile image
We just purchased this new home in South Haven and completed construction in summer 2019. We have 2 kids and fell in love with SOHA after vacationing here with close friends. We enjoy spending time outdoors, running, traveling, and experiencing new foods and cultures together as a family. We have designed the furnishings and amenities of this house to be comfortable for our family, and for every guest family that we welcome in.

Why they chose this property

We were instantly drawn to Harbor Club for its modern decor and upgraded finishes in the homes, as well as the unbeatable amenities at Woodlawn Marina. We love that we can easily take a dingy down the Black River and dock at Captain Lou's for dinner, or ride our bikes into town to grab a bite and do some shopping. We love being in a quiet, tranquil neighborhood where we can easily relax for the weekend. We look forward to sharing our home with you!

What makes this property unique

Fun Haven House lives up to its name for providing you and your friends/family with a new, modern home where you can have tons of FUN together playing games (board games, social games & video games) in the family den or living room, taking day trips to the beach, strolling into downtown SOHA, or splashing around in the heated community pool. Our beach and water toys are all included (two stand up paddle boards, kayak, chairs, umbrella, wagon, sand toys). The optional golf cart rental will also help you make the most of your time in South Haven. Our upgraded kitchen is stocked full of brand new appliances and cookware so you can enjoy freshly brewed coffee and breakfast or a home-cooked dinner during your stay. The back patio is a great place share a nice meal and enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine by the fire!
