About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lake Views!! Steps to Blue Stairs, Beach, Kids Corner, & walk to downtown.

2025 Open Now! Only a few weeks left for summer!

Your private home get away! Escape the hotels and large crowds and enjoy time on Lake Michigan. This spectacular home is located in the first block near South Beach and is a destination spot for families and friends. Have a seat on the wrap-around deck to BBQ, socialize, and enjoy the views and waves of Lake Michigan. Clear views of the amazing sunsets from the front deck. Steps to the beach!

This year, we have completely redone the large deck that wraps around the house, as well as added a larger deck in the back. It's bigger, better, and a wonderful viewing spot for the sunset over the lake.

When you step inside, an open-floor plan greets you and features a large great room with many windows to enjoy the summer breezes and a view of the lake. A kitchen with brand new stainless steel appliances and an island, and a large dining area to entertain is equipped with everything you need for your stay. The large main-floor primary bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room make the home comfortable for guests of all ages. Head up stairs and find 3 bedrooms and a full-bath: two are nicely sized for queen beds, and the third is a bunk room, sleeping as many as 4-6 guests!

Ready for a stroll? You're one-block from the beach, Kid's Corner park, and St. Basil's Church! The South Haven Pier, an ice-cream at Kilwin’s or breakfast/shopping in downtown can all be yours in a 10 minute walk. Wifi and premium cable TV, parking is not a problem on this public street home with a large driveway and a garage.

Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook at home or grill on the deck while enjoying the sunset.

The house has everything you need for your beach visit. A wagon for bringing your things to the beach. Beach toys, beach chairs, sun shelters, umbrellas, etc.

The shady back yard has a hammock for relaxing and naps outdoors.

In the winter, enjoy ice skating downtown, skiing in Bittersweet, or holiday shopping on Phoenix Street!

Fabulous family location

Stephanie is the ultimate host and the home has everything a multigenerational family could want for summer fun in Michigan. That porch! The view! We found the beach toys this year and put them to use. This is our second visit. Thank you so much for working with us and helping with the weather advisories.😉

This is a lovely home that thoughtfully welcomes you with every detail cared for. Clean, well-appointed and comfortable, there's nothing you lack at Ohana House. The location is amazing. You can see the lake from the spacious front deck! Most importantly, the owner is caring and communicative - a gracious host. Perfect!

Annual Family Tradition

Our entire family of ten with five adults and five children all love staying in South Haven in the comfortable Ohana House. This annual trip has provided great experiences for everyone. The owner of this home is a gem. Whenever we needed support, she immediately responded. We have so many sweet memories in this home.

Great location

This house was located in beautiful South Haven. It was a great size with plenty of room for my family of 5 adults and 2 small children. It could comfortable hold even more people. The deck was great. Quick communication from Stephanie. It was within a block walk to a Kids corner park. The park was perfect for children of a variety of ages. The house is located about 1 block walk to the blue stairs that lead to Lake Michigan. Beach by the blue stairs was great and not busy. It was an easy walk to everything in downtown South Haven. Would highly recommend this house and would love to stay there again.

Wonderful Stay

My family and I had the most wonderful week in South Haven at the Ohana House! The house and location exceeded all of our expectations. There is so much to do in the area (and kid friendly!). When the kids napped we enjoyed spending time out on the deck with the beautiful view. We would definitely recommend Ohana House and would love to stay again next year!

A beautiful, well-appointed home welcomed us to South Haven. It is clean and comfortable, big and bright. The new deck is really spacious and I can see Lake Michigan from here. The owner has prepared every detail thoughtfully and provides good effective communication every step of the way. The Ohana House made South Haven heavenly for me and my family!

South Haven Vacation

While we have vacationed in South Haven for many years this was our first stay at Ohana House. The house was beautiful and in a great location. We had some minor issues at the beginning of our week but the owners were very responsive and took care of things immediately. I would recommend it to any one looking for a fun place to stay.
