Welcome to H.O.M.E.S. Haven, a Victorian home--built on the first residential street in South Haven in the mid-late 1800s--updated with many modern conveniences, yet retaining its Victorian charm. Ready to host families and groups looking to enjoy the lovely town of South Haven. Only two blocks from downtown, 13 min walk to the beach, or if you want to ride around town, rent a golf-cart/scooter from South Haven Scooter Rental, just two blocks away.

H.O.M.E.S. is the acronym for the 5 great lakes, Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior.

Each room is named after one of the great lakes, which is pictured on each bedroom door.

Downstairs, the dining room accommodates a 14-person table. The living room harbors a sectional and a swivel-loveseat with a large Frame TV over the ornate fireplace. The living room opens up into the spacious front room via large dividing pocket-doors. The front room holds a day bed (that can open up into a king/double-twin bed), a loveseat, an additional 6-person table and built in bookshelves with games.

Outside, the front and back porches invite you with relaxing seating. Grill up some meat for your party on the KitchenAid 5-burner gas grill or enjoy a nice soak in the 7-person Artesian Spas hot tub. In the evening, sit out in the yard by the firepit and roast some marshmallows. Or use the supplied bench-seat wagon and 4 camp-chairs to stroll down to the beach for a gorgeous sunset.

For families with young kids, we provide two pack-plays, two high chair/booster seats, a bassinet, as well as some toys and games in a little nook in which kiddos could play.

The laundry room has a large washer/dryer and changing space.

Wonderful Hosts!
The hosts are very quick to respond and we truly appreciate them accommodating our family! Beds were really comfortable, loved the game room space and the large dining table. Nice front porch and deck space too! We don't have young children but there are loads of nice features for families. Walking distance to lots of fun places!

Wonderful location!
Loved the location…very quick & easy walk into town. Loved how many beds were in this house. Everyone had their own bed! Host was quick to respond to questions prior to check-in. Host allowed us a late checkout, which was kind & allowed us to have a leisurely morning & brunch before checkout. Checkout was extremely easy. We were a large group. Four rolls of tp were given (2 upstairs, 2 downstairs). However, we were all middle-aged women who were not wasteful but had frequent bathroom needs. We ran out in the middle of the night upstairs. Maybe leave an extra upstairs. Hot tub was great. Fire pit is convenient because of it being gas-powered. Would be nice to have more chairs around fire pit.

Great time, but a couple of mishaps
The stay was great and our group had a lovely time. However there were a couple of things that didn’t work on the property but it was reasonably priced for the space and time for February.

Moms night out!
There was 10 of us and we had a wonderful day at this location! if the weather wasn’t raining, we could’ve walked downtown to do shopping and eating. The house was exactly how it portrayed online we loved all the seating and the large table to eat at. The property owners were so quick to respond to any question we had. Highly recommend.
