This home worked so well for our week in South Haven. We had adults, teens and a baby in our group and everyone loved this place. The house is well appointed and clean and you cannot beat the glorious location. The owners were great to work with.
Property was very clean and all we had to provide was clothing and food. Proximity to the North Beach is unparalleled, it made grabbing lunch and other necessities really easy.
We had an incredible time in our 2 day Thanksgiving stay. The upper level loft was great and all 4 of my kids could stay up there, leaving the rest of the house to me and my wife. The master bedroom and the views of the lake are worth the trip alone.
Perfectly located home that accommodated 6 adults and 4 children well. Great location on the beach with ample deck space for enjoying the great sunsets. I also loved it had all the beach chairs and beach items needed for the week. Hosts were very responsive and friendly. Would definitely rent again
We stayed at the house with our 3 kids. Great location. Easy to get to the beach and nice to have a playground right there. We used the outdoor spaces a lot. Short drive to downtown (or walk if you don’t have little kids with you). The sunset views were amazing every night!
Very nice property and amenities. Everything in good shape. Easy check in and check out.Excellent view of beach. Only possible recommendation maybe some newer furniture in second floor TV great room in the future.Still a 5 star rating.
We had an amazing family trip thanks to the wonderful hosts and this amazing house. The set up was great for our family with 5 adults and 3 kids - would’ve been room for more! The windows were very picturesque and you can’t get any closer to the beach and playground. Well stocked with everything we could need. Great communication. We are hoping to return next year!
The house was beautiful, roomy, and very well equipped. The location was great for fireworks, beach visits,and watching sunsets. The owners were easy to communicate with and were very responsive. We asked questions before the reservation, between the reservation and our visit, and during our visit; they were consistently available and helpful. Robin explained everything at check in that we needed to enjoy our stay. We had a wonderful vacation and highly recommend this wonderful house and its delightful owners.
We really enjoyed our stay at 36 lake shore! Location was everything- we have been coming to SoHa annually for several years and this place exceeded our expectations! We spend our days on North Beach where our kids enjoy playing. It was so nice being able to walk out front door and on to beach. House is spacious and has all of the amnenities needed. Plenty of towels, wash cloths, etc.
Another high light —no need to pack/bring beach chairs, toys, umbrella— this place has it ALL!
Will definitely be staying here again !! Thanks to the hosts !!
Spent a week with my wife and family including two grandchildren. There were eight of us at all and the house was perfect. The location is directly across from the beach and is easy walking distance to everything in Southhaven. The owners were very receptive and we had no problems at all.The online photographs of the property are very accurate and the views from the house and the balconies are fabulous. Of course the sunsets on Lake Michigan are second to none.
Would highly recommend this house for a family and hope to stay there again.
Just wanted to say thank you to the owner for a nice beach getaway. It was the 1st time a host has met us at the location and showed us the ropes so to speak. Very kind and a nice touch. Beautiful views and everything needed for a nice long stay. We only needed food and clothes. Fully stocked in every way. My family of 8 really had a great time and enjoyed the use of all the beach chairs, and amenities' available. The only drawback in my opinion is because it's directly on the beach the teenagers and high schoolers congregate seemingly right across the street nightly and can be a little loud. However, they usually take off around 11pm curfew I suppose as Police come through generally nightly. Other than that, we couldn't have drawn up a better spot to relax and enjoy some of the most beautiful sunsets God created.
Thank you again for letting us use your home.

Very Unfriendly Property Manager
My wife and I have been renting houses with our family for 20 years and we also own a rental property in FL so we know the routine inside and out. We have never been treated so rudely like we did today when checking out. Robin-Wife pf property Manager was standing at our door at 10am sharp and she was very angry. We tried talking to her and she just snapped back. We drove away at 10:05. It was very uncomfortable for my whole family including my 76 yr. old mother who witnessed the entire awkward exchange. The house was left just like we found it, nothing damaged and a load of towels was laundered, and another load started. We were truly left there feeling very uncomfortable.
We arrived on Saturday, the 24th, at 7:25 PM. We drove up from Kansas City, a more than 10-hour drive, when you account for the time change. Robin, the host's wife, graciously met us at the door to walk us through the property and show us how things worked.
The property was so comfortable and cozy, we basically lived on the second level next to the master bedroom, we called it "our pod"! ;)
We began getting ready to leave at 8:45 on the day we were to check out, with a "10AM SHARP" checkout time. We thought we were making good time getting things out to our car to leave, but Robin arrived at 9:45, and I panicked. I went out to ask her where the detergent for the laundry was, and she rolled her window down and gave me a glowering look. "It's TIDE! Just TIDE!" she yelled at me. I was so nervous, I spilled the detergent all over my hand pouring it in. We left at 9:58 AM. We pulled out and tried to wave at her going by, but she had her head down in her truck. John, her husband, was great with regards to communication. I think he should be the forward-face of this property from now on. We left the house the same as it was when we arrived.
Everything was excellent from communication with John & Robin to check-in to the vacation. This home is well taken care of. Plenty of towels and everything you need for the beach. I was worried about being so close to the beach with small children (ages 1-4) but they loved going to the playground and playing in the sand near the house or hanging on the decks. Perfect location. Already booking for next year.
We celebrated our 50th anniversary with our daughters & spouses, grandchildren, & great-grandchildren. This home was spacious enough for our group. We loved the 3 decks! The high deck chairs were everyone's favorite.
Robin met us at check-in & walked us through the house, explained a few things, & answered questions. She responded promptly the one time I needed to reach out.
Beautiful home. Great location.
Thanks for making our celebration with the family perfect!

About the host
Hosted by John Burhans
We fell in love with South Haven many years ago and decided to build this beautiful house on North Beach. We have been sharing it with our guests from all over Michigan and the Midwest for 10 years now. We live only 20 minutes away and pride ourselves on giving personal attention to our guests.
Why they chose this property
Our rental house has all the amenities that you would expect in a house of this caliber, including all linens, towels, upscale dishware and cookware, WiFi internet, supplies, outdoor grill and furniture. TV in Family room and in Master Bedroom.
What makes this property unique
This beautiful rental property is directly on North Beach in the middle of Lakeshore Drive. We rent Saturday to Saturday during the Summer season. Off season you can rent for a minimum of 3 -4 days. North Beach is one of the extensive and beautiful pure sand beach in the Midwest. It is a short hop to the water with plenty of activities on the beach, including jungle gyms, beach volleyball, concession stand at the far end of the beach, piers for walking and fishing, and close to downtown. The 3 stories allow you magnificent views of the beach and Lake Michigan, yet provide intimacy and privacy for indoor activities.
