About this property

SPRING & SUMMER ADORABLE COTTAGE- One block to Lake Michigan

Darling immaculately clean two bedroom cottage, one block from Packard Park beach and playground and four blocks from town. Newly renovated, new furnishings, freshly painted, new carpeting and flooring, new shower, new mattresses and bedding. New owners. We vacationed in South Haven eight years ago with our family and loved the North side of South Haven and found this home and cottage on the same street where we rented. It's a perfect spot in the very best location, and we are pleased to offer our cute cottage for rent weekly during the peak summer season and daily in the off-season. You will immediately be welcomed by a large deck with new furnishings for your outdoor pleasure. Everything inside the cottage is new and fresh in a beach theme. Full size bed in the main bedroom with a full size bottom and twin upper bunk bed in the second. Single pull-out sofa bed is in the living room. Kitchen is fully equipped with apartment size stove, microwave and full size refrigerator. Seating comfortably for 4-5 at dining table, but we bet you will eat outside on the deck most days. Come see why we love South Haven!

Getaway
The house was very cute and clean. We only came for the weekend and it would have been nice to have shampoo, conditioner and body soap. I am used to them being available at the house as I don't usually carry them for short stays. But I would stay here again

Relax and enjoy
Great location. Claire's Cottage was a nice place to spend a relaxing weekend. Short walk to the beach and into town. We really enjoyed the deck. Shaded in the afternoon and evening. Make sure you stop by Bunde's Bakery. It's a local place but has a Starbucks inside as well.

This was a cute little cottage just a block from the lake. The bathroom in particular is small but it serves its purpose. The cottage came with recommendations of things to do in South Haven. Owners were very nice.

Great location
Very comfortable and quaint. Maybe some bar soap in the shower would be nice and some of us felt like the mirrors were too low. Very minor stuff. Overall perfect for what we needed.

Loved it!
We loved our stay at Claire’s Cottage! Host graciously let check in earlier which help us be able to heat up a bottle for our 7 month old and go enjoy the beach sooner. It’s a quick walk to the beach. Our 3 year loved the bunk beds. We definitely would love to come back!

Much Needed Getaway
I have been in the city all summer and I needed a beach. I love the South Haven area. When I found Clair's Cottage, it seemed just right. The beach is so close that I could walk to it several times a day. The cottage is darling, with comfortable beds (I slept very well!) and anything else you might want.

Perfect Two Days
We are from Illinois and have a '62 TR4. We have a range of about 5 hours that we like to travel and South Haven is our favorite for our two-day jaunts. Though not exactly on the beach, it's as close as you can get and with the private front area, it's a great location. Clean, well stocked with basic needs, and a walk to downtown.

LOVED Claire's Cottage!
Claire's Cottage was everything that was in the VRBO description and more. The location was perfect, the deck was fabulous and the cottage exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was fully stocked. The bathroom was very nice and the shower was fabulous. We loved having a keypad and not an actual key. Susan was wonderful! The only time we were disappointed is when we realized that it was check out day. We cannot wait to go back next year!

Great location, everything you need!
We’ve stayed in South Haven 3 times now and this is by far the best location. Close proximity to a nice beach and the downtown area. Home has everything you need, very clean. It is on the small side (my husband is 6 ft 4 in) and the main bedroom bed was tight for us, BUT for most people it would be just fine. We made it work and enjoyed our stay. Sue is so very nice, really great owners. I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect South Haven Cottage
My husband and I along with our three children just finished our stay here and it was perfect! We always prefer to stay at true cottages vs new builds when we come each year and this one is hands down our new favorite. You can’t beat the location which makes it easy to get to many beaches and allows you to enjoy causal walks along nicely manicured homes and streets. The owners were extremely attentive to any questions we had and the outdoor space was prefect! Looking forward to staying here in the future!

New owners with a passion for Lake Michigan

Why they chose this property

Grew-up on an inland lake in the Grand Rapids area and always wanted to own a lake property. We decided to spend our kids inheritance and enjoy lake life in retirement. Here we are in South Haven!

What makes this property unique

Love the smaller beaches on the North shore and the beautiful Park Ave street homes with larger lots and unique character. Location, location, location!!
