About this property

South Side Shamrock — Close to Beach & Town!

Fantastic location! Just a 10-minute walk to Lake Michigan beach access and Kids Corner playground!! 5 minute drive to town and all its shops, restaurants, and fun things to do.

Fully furnished with central air conditioning/heat, washer/dryer, privacy-fenced backyard with patio, outdoor dining table, gas grill, fire pit and love seat swing. Don’t forget to visit the famous “Club Hazel,” our name for the hangout space within our converted garage, that features a reclaimed wood bar, mini fridge, mood lighting, blue tooth speaker, and seating that opens to patio.

It all sits on a nicely manicured lot in a safe, quiet neighborhood. We’ve got 4 adult bikes and one kid's bike to get you started, and plenty of space to store, if you’d like to bring more. Then hit the Van Buren trail that’s literally around the corner from our house! Or hop on your bikes for a scenic, short cruise into town. Please bring your own helmets for safety!

The garage is also stocked with sand toys, beach chairs, and 2 wagons — one to haul your gear and one to pull your kiddos!

Fun and board games are waiting for you inside coffee table in living room. Let the friendly competition begin! We’ve even included a ROKU system that allows you to login to view your favorite shows and movies.

Enjoy the most magnificent sunsets you’ll ever see. Spectators have been known to applaud as the last slice of sun melts into the horizon, leaving the sky aglow and hearts full.

The fun doesn’t stop with summer! The area will be bursting with can’t-miss color in the fall when apples are ready for picking and pumpkin patches are waiting for you and yours to explore! Visit some of the local wineries and take in all the crisp autumn beauty you can handle. We like to call this time of year, Girls Getaway and Couples Hideaway Season!

Van Buren Trail is open for year-round adventure whether you’re bicycling, snowmobiling, or cross-country skiing. Festivals aren’t just for summer in South Haven. There are lots of special events to enjoy in the fall and bundle up the last weekend in January into first weekend in February for our annual Ice Breaker when beautiful ice sculptures line the downtown streets along with a chili cook-off, pub slide, cardboard sled race and frozen fish fling. Then wind down with a horse-drawn wagon ride and shop to your heart’s [or wallet’s] content at all the fabulous stores.

No matter what the season, there’s always time to catch a show at the Michigan Theater right in town. This classic venue features first run movies and concessions. Feel like bowling? Check out Lakeside Entertainment — only a 5 minute drive from us on Blue Star Highway!

There’s so much to see and do here in South Haven and our neighboring towns that you’ll have to keep coming back! Saugatuck, with its vibrant arts, dining, and shopping scene is just a 15-minute drive from us. And St. Joseph, the fun, family and foodie focused town is perched on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan and the St. Joe River, and makes a perfect day trip, only 20 minutes away.

We look forward to making your stay as FUN and COMFORTABLE as we can every single season you visit. Check out our calendar and start planning your getaway to our South Side Shamrock, just a short walk to the shores of Lake Michigan!

Great location - close to beach and amazing backyard!
We had such an amazing stay at this property! It was the perfect size for our family of four. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. One note - if you are looking for sun protection at the beach, I would recommend bringing your own umbrellas or beach tent. The ones provided were very small and one was broken. Other than that - great vacation house!

Great location and backyard
This was our third time staying at the house. It’s in a great location and a short drive to the beach. The inside is just fine - nothing to rave about. We have two kids (2 and 5) and we all love having the fenced backyard. The backyard and location are the reason we keep coming back. There’s lots of things in the garage for use (wagons, beach chairs, sand toys, bubbles, chalk, yard games, etc). Overall we’ve been happy coming here and would recommend booking it.

Family Lake Days
South Side Shamrock with backyard Club Hazel was a great getaway! The home was close to the beautiful beach and the downtown and we were welcome to the bikes and beach towels and toys. Everything was included, the kitchen had it all, games and TV in the family room and comfy bedrooms. The neighborhood was quiet and family friendly. We will be back! You should go, too.

Loved it!
Our family of 4 (two kids ages 2 & 4) had such a nice stay here for a long weekend! Sheila was so communicative before our visit & shared so much helpful info. Also offered an early/flexible check in time which was a nice surprise. House is so well stocked & it felt like it had more to offer than the typical rental, even plenty of kid stuff (books, toys, plates, utensils, etc). Only thing we had to run out to get was shampoo & soap for showering (no problem - just something to note!) but other than that…this place has everything & more. Loved having the wagons, beach chairs, & water/sand toys each day when we walked down to the beach. Club Hazel was unique & a fun space to enjoy in the evenings. Highly recommend this spot & would love to return ourselves!

Great Place and Great Location!
The Southside Shamrock is an absolute gem! There is no detail overlooked, whether it be the house itself, all of the goodies that come with it (bikes, chairs, umbrellas, games, and beach toys), and “Club Hazel” in the backyard. The location is very convenient to everything, especially if you rent a golf cart. You can’t go wrong staying here!

Cozy cottage
Such a charming little cottage very close to Lake Michigan. Super clean. Very well stocked with nice amenities. We especially like the backyard area with the "man cave". Having bikes and beach equipment available for guests to use was a big plus. We would definitely stay here again.

Great vacation for family of four!
Perfect for a family with two littles (3 and 10 months). There were plenty of sand toys, even wagons as well for the beach. House was clean and the back yard is fenced in which I loved for my boys. Close enough to everything but not in the middle of it.

Very clean and nicely decorated with a beach theme throughout. Open concept between kitchen and living area allows for great interaction with family. Well stocked with everything you need. Lots of extras to make your stay enjoyable (bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs, sand toys.). Our family of six across three generations all loved it..

The house was well-stocked with all the essentials for the beach, even wagons to get the little one and towels, umbrella, etc. there. The backyard is comfortable with an outdoor patio, including grill and fire pit - wood included! The neighborhood is residential and quiet. The house was perfect for our small group.

The hosts were very kind, communicated quickly and clearly, and the home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Quiet, shady neighborhood, walking distance to the beach, and a great yard space for cooking out, lawn games with the family, and just relaxing. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! They even left us a bottle of bubbly to celebrate our 50th Anniversary!

About the host

Hosted by Sheila and Greg Kopplin

Host profile image
Hi Everyone! Allow us to introduce ourselves. We’re Greg and Sheila Kopplin. Our decision to purchase a home in South Haven is a true love story that’s rooted in family tradition and wrapped in pure Michigan.

Sheila’s parents met on the beach in Southwestern Michigan when they were teenagers many moons ago and she and her four siblings have been loving the area since they were babies. Her grandparents on both sides of the family, her parents and other relatives have had second homes all over southwestern Michigan for generations.

With that deep history, it only made sense in Greg’s head and heart, to propose to Sheila on a Michigan beach!

Sheila said YES to Greg and Greg said YES to Michigan. And now we are sharing our love of this great state with our beautiful daughter and sharing our home, with you, our valued guests.

Thanks for stopping by:) We truly hope you choose our home for your stay to start making those magical Michigan memories!

Why they chose this property

We love this quiet neighborhood close to the beach and town. The house is in great condition and is the perfect size with an open kitchen and dining room and cozy living room. No need to live out of your suitcase, the good-sized bedrooms have generous closet space for you to unpack and feel right at home! Let the good times roll with bikes, beach toys, board games and ROKU to watch your favorite shows and movies!

What makes this property unique

Walkable to beach. Very close to town. Close to bike trails. Large, private fully-fenced backyard provides the security for your kiddos and you to relax, play and run free! Unique indoor/outdoor hangout room opens to patio, fire pit and dining table.
