This house is very spacious and comfortably furnished with ample seating all over. The pictures don’t do justice to how spacious it is. It’s well appointed and very modern. It’s also a very short walk to downtown South Haven. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet.

Historical Charming and perfect for families

This house had all the amenities and more. So much room for a big group to spread out and not feel in top of each other. I strongly appreciated The historical charm of this home and I am grateful Aunt K kept its historic bones in mind when updating. I look forward to staying here again!

Great Little Getaway at Aunt K's

Wonderful property for South Haven visit. Loved the feel of an older home with all the upgrades especially in the kitchen. So spacious! Great area on back patio to enjoy a cup of coffee in morning or glass of wine in afternoon. Loved the location within walking distance to main area of SH. Would definitely recommend and would book again!

Stay in South Haven

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in South Haven. The wood work in this home is just stunning. The home was perfect for our young children to spread out for meals and play, but they also really enjoyed the opportunity to share the bunk room! The back porch allows for the perfect patio dinner or cup of coffee with a book while enjoying the beautiful landscape. The arrival and check out procedures were clear and easy to follow. The well done home is a great central location for a quick trip to the beach. Thank you for the opportunity to stay! We hope to be back soon!

Our party of 8 had a great time in South Haven at Aunt K’s house. Lots of space, great kitchen, sunroom and outdoor patio. Quiet street with beautifully kept up houses makes a quick walk to Phoenix street for shops and restaurants. Our teens walked to the beach daily, but we drove and paid the 10 fee to park daily because we had beach gear. Crossing Broadway on bikes or on foot requires you to go up to crosswalk at Phoenix, lots of traffic at times. We appreciated the fans in upstairs bedrooms because even though there was central AC, it was a HOT July week and needed more air circulation. We loved how stocked the kitchen was with plates, glasses and silverware. Lots of pots, pans, serving bowls, cutting boards. We even used the crockpot to make chicken tacos while at the beach one day. The grill was nice too. Close to highway for easy day trips to other Michigan sites. We explored Saugatuck with the dunes ride and the town, and went blueberry picking. We hope to return someday! Can’t beat a South Haven sunset!
