About this property

MICHIANA #2: Two bedroom one bath apartment in downtown South Haven!

The Michiana Apartment #2 is available to quiet, mature, responsible and respectful adults and families only. We do not host guests that are loud, inconsiderate or disrespectful to our other guests and our neighbors.

Michiana #2 is a two bedroom, one bath ground level apartment ideally located on the northeast corner of Michigan Avenue and Indiana Avenue in downtown South Haven, Michigan.

The Michiana's original structure was built in the late 1800s as a large single family home. Years ago it was converted into four separate apartments with two one bedroom apartments and two two bedroom apartments. Apartment #2 has two spacious bedrooms with one queen bed in each bedroom. Each bedroom also has a closet, a dresser and a chair. The living room has comfortable seating as well as a table and chairs for dining or a game of cards. Apartment #2 has had both mechanical and cosmetic updates while still retaining some of the original historic details and finishes. The apartment has a very functional floor plan (see pictures) that can comfortably accommodate a family of four or two adult couples.

There is shared outdoor deck directly adjacent to the apartment with western exposure which gets nice afternoon sun. There is also a Weber grill on the deck making it convenient to grill lunch or dinner outside. Directly next to the deck is the off street parking area so you do not have to carry your luggage or your groceries too far when loading and unloading your car.

The location is truly ideal. The Michiana is what we like to call 'Close, but not too close!'. By this we mean that it is an easy walk home from the restaurants and night life on Phoenix Street, yet far enough away that you can still sleep peacefully at night with the windows open. The walk to South Beach is only three blocks west straight down Michigan Avenue. This is the best of small town Americana! Have your morning coffee and sweet roll on a bench on Phoenix Street and watch people stroll by. Then head back home to change into your swim suit and walk down to the beach for a day of fun in the sun. We feel the Michiana is centrally located between downtown South Haven and the beautiful South Beach.

We hope you agree and can come to South Haven and stay at the Michiana. Remember...

Location. Location. Location.

We will see you at the beach!

Annual Fall Getaway

Third trip to South Haven at this time of year - first time at Michiana. Location was fabulous - laundry on site a plus. Sheets in front bedroom were the softest I’ve ever encountered - just wow! Only thing I’d suggest is adding a scissors to the kitchen - lol!

Pleasant stay in South Haven

Great location close to everything South Haven has to offer. Unit was clean and in working order. The bedding and furniture is showing wear, but for the price we were satisfied. Bathroom is nicely updated. We had an enjoyable stay.

Perfect location and very comfortable

The location was great with an easy walk to downtown, light house and south beach. The unit was very clean, the beds were comfy and the bathroom and linens were very nice. The owner was easy to reach and very responsive when we had a question. The pictures make the kitchen and living area look a bit dated but don’t hesitate to rent this unit for your stay.

Comfortable, Clean, & Close to everything!

Great place for a small family with young ones! Location is close to the main street, we were able to walk there with our young child and my senior mom. Also close to the beach, about 3-4 blocks to walk. Apartment was very well kept and updated. I was impressed with how clean organized everything was. It had everything we needed! I would definitely stay here again or in any of his other listings.

There is no shortage of pride in ownership here! While retaining all the charming elements of years gone by, it has been updated for today’s comfort. The exterior had gorgeous florals, huge pots of annuals in perfect bloom despite it being late in the season. It was my kind of very clean and well maintained. Loved the proximity for walking to the beach and downtown. Really enjoyed South Haven and we hope to come back next year and bring our bikes.

Good stay, great location, could use a few updates

Overall, our stay was nice. Location was great for walking to the beach or town with a 6 and 8 year old. Would have liked some updated kitchen ware (ie larger coffee mugs, more forks, containers for left-overs). Also, while super clean the cleaning folks used something to clean inside the fridge that affected the taste of some of our food. Would consider changing products.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Biedermann

Host profile image
We live in the north suburbs of Chicago however we feel South Haven is our home away from home. We can not say enough great things about the community and the people of South Haven. We both have very demanding schedules and spending time together in South Haven allows us to focus on each other and our four children.

Why they chose this property

It seems with most beach towns in Southwest Michigan, if you stay at the beach, you have to drive in to town. Conversely, if you stay in town, you have to drive to the beach. South Haven offers the ability to walk to both. The South Beach and downtown area are only a short three block walk from the Michiana. Life is good and the living is easy!

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the easy access to the South Beach as well as the less than five minute walk to downtown South Haven. Once the groceries are purchased, there is no need for your car again. We have said it so many times but it is true... once you come to South Haven, it feels as though all of life's struggles seem to be lifted. We hope you are able to experience the same feeling!

SPECIAL NOTE: This apartment is located in the same building as our other listing: vrbo 440330 which is right next door! This adds one additional bedroom and one additional bath. A great set up for additional friends and family!!!
