Kid & Baby Friendly; Indoor/Outdoor Pool & Hot Tub

Welcome to Sunshine Cottage in South Haven where your family getaway is not just a trip, it's a vacation. Perfect for families or groups looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

Kid and baby friendly features: Full size crib and changing table in 'mini nursery' off of the primary bedroom; pack 'n' play and slumberpod; high chair, high chair/booster combo and booster pad for kitchen chairs; baby gates at top and bottom of stairs; step stool in bathroom; bumper pads for bunk beds; blackout blinds; plastic dishware and cups; outlet covers; play kitchen; indoor toys, books and games; arcade-style indoor basketball hoop; outdoor games; pool and beach toys

The Harbor Club heated enclosed pool and outdoor spa are available during your stay!

Our two-story home boasts 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, providing ample space for up to 12 guests. It was built in 2021 and nestled in a more wooded corner of Harbor Club. You will still have the convenient location to the Marina and lake and access to the association pool but with more privacy and fewer neighbors. Our large patio will let you enjoy the views of the surrounding trees. It's the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or relax in the evening with the whole family gathering around the fire pit for s'mores. (Or to relax with a cocktail after the kids are in bed)

The full kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare meals during your stay and is open to the main living room, making it easy to socialize and entertain while cooking. The main living room is furnished with a large couch and cushy chairs, perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring the area or spending a fun day on the beach. The large television has access to most of the popular streaming services, so you can catch up on your favorite shows or movies (requires the renter to sign in to their own account).

The home is also outfitted with all the basic comforts required: Wifi, two smart TVs, central air, washer and dryer and gas grill. All towels and linens are provided along with body wash, shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom. Additionally a tankless water heater ensures everyone gets their hot relaxing shower after a day at the beach! And detachable toilet safety rails are available for anyone who needs extra assistance. The blackout shades in every bedroom will give everyone a good night’s sleep.

For beach lovers, access to the sandy shores of Lake Michigan is just a 10-15 minute walk away on a dedicated pedestrian pathway separated from the street. Alternatively, you can rent a golf cart from the nearby Harbor Club Resort and Marina for a fun and unique way to get to many of the other nearby beaches. (North Beach and South Beach are just a 5 minute drive) Beach chairs and towels are available for up to 12 people, as well as 2 beach umbrellas to provide shade on sunny days. A folding wagon is also provided to help haul everything to the beach.

Access to two association pools is included in your stay. The main Harbor Club pool is just 2 blocks from the house and has a retractable enclosure. This means it is enclosed and heated in the off season and the enclosure is retracted so the pool is outdoors in the summer. There is also a hot tub located in the pool area. The pool located at the Woodland Harbor Marina is just a 5 minute walk away. It is outdoors and available Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend and is a great summer option with views of the boats coming and going.

Up to 3 vehicles can park in and around the house. Additional parking is just a short 5-minute walk from the house, so you don't have to worry about finding a place to park.

After a long day of exploring or beach combing, you can come back to the house and unwind with a variety of toys and games for both kids and adults alike. From board games to pool toys, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Our home is pet friendly, up to 2 pets allowed for an additional fee. Dogs of any size are allowed. Please contact us for additional details.

Family vacation

We had a blast staying at this property in south haven. It was perfect for our family (ages range from 2-6 for the children). There were toys that my 2 and 4 year old loved playing with. We enjoyed the fire pit and it is close to the neighborhood pool. We made lots of great memories!

Fun Family Friendly Home

We had 3 generations in the house and it was well equipped for all, especially the kids. We loved the layout of the home with beach supplies in the garage and backyard fire pit. The new pool and hot tub was definitely a perk for staying in Harbor Club. The hosts were very responsive to our questions. Would certainly come back to Sunshine Cottage!

Immaculate home, well thought out amenities, and memorable stay!

The owners did an amazing job with this property. Our family of 9 stayed comfortably with room to spare for extra guests. The toiletries were plentiful, and linens were well stocked. The kitchen was more equipped than my kitchen at home and we were able to prepare every meal during our stay in the kitchen at home. We enjoyed S’mores around the campfire every night and the owners even left us marshmallows, chocolate, and Graham crackers which was such a thoughtful touch. The home is just minutes from downtown South Haven without the crowds you’ll experience there. It was very conveniently located with a nice farmers market around the corner and Meijer a minute away. We will seek it out again on future trips to South Haven.

Sunshine Cottage in South Haven

We were looking for a house with plenty of space for a family get-together that was located near the beach and this property fit the bill. We were 5 adults and 3 kids and the house could have held more. All the living spaces were fine with comfortable furnishings, the kitchen was fully equipped, and the television and internet setup was great. There were plenty of toys for the kids and a good selection of books and games. For the beach there were folding chairs, umbrellas, beach toys and a wagon to haul everything in. Closest beach access was about a half-mile walk, the pool was even closer, and the excellent South Haven public beaches were a few minutes away by car. The property managers were very helpful. All in all, we had a pleasant and relaxing stay and highly recommend Sunshine Cottage.

Winter Weekend

We had a wonderful winter weekend at Sunshine cottage. This house was fully stocked with everything we needed. We had two toddlers and the house was very safe for children. It had all the necessary items we needed without us having to drag them. There was a pack and play,highchair, booster chair, bumpers for the beds, the kids just loved it. Enclosed pool was a big highlight. The kids loved swimming in a nice warm enclosure and we adults enjoy the outdoor hot tub which was the perfect temperature. We spent our afternoons at the kids corner park, which was directly across from Lake Michigan. It was a great way to spend time outdoors. South Haven is a charming town and it was nice and quiet in the winter time. This beautiful House offered us a great time to spend with family, playing games, watching movies, and even an outdoor fire with some s’mores.Thanks for sharing your home with us. We will definitely be back.

Sunshine Cottage

This place is beautiful. It’s very clean and well stocked with everything you need during your stay. We enjoyed the closeness of the pool, beach, restaurants, and the shops. It’s easy to walk to the town, park or beach if you want an easy walk every day. The house is very accommodating for families with children. Our grandchildren loved the kids room. We had a wonderful time. Next time we need to stay longer.

Great spot for families

We really enjoyed our stay at Sunshine Cottage. It was super well equipped with all sorts of essentials for babies and toddlers that made trip logistics a lot easier. Super clean and comfortable. Community pool was very nice and the location was convenient!
