Welcome to Sun Haven! This cheerful canary-yellow cottage tucked in one of South Haven’s most walkable, family-friendly neighborhoods. With a sunny exterior and warm, inviting interior, Sun Haven at 225 Van Buren Street offers the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern upgrades that is designed for easy living, restful nights, and memory-making days!
Step inside to discover a thoughtfully updated home with fresh furnishings, refinished hardwood floors, and classic cottage touches like arched doorways, warm wood trim, and vintage light fixtures. The moment you arrive, Sun Haven feels like home - comfortable, quiet, and perfectly positioned for your South Haven adventure.
The layout is perfect for small families or groups of friends, with a spacious living room and sitting area, a bright dining space ideal for shared meals or game nights, and a fully equipped kitchen updated with new counters and modern utilities. Two main-floor bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a full bed, sit near a full bathroom, while the upper level provides a more private retreat with a queen bedroom, twin day bed, full bath, and just the right amount of separation for a quiet night’s rest.
Start your day on the front porch, rocking gently with your morning coffee as the neighborhood slowly stirs. Wave to dog walkers and cyclists headed for the Kal-Haven Trail just minutes away. Early risers can stroll the pier at sunrise, while families can spend the day basking in the sand, swimming in Lake Michigan, or renting paddleboards near the shore. A few blocks further leads to Kids Corner Park, a local gem with an expansive playground and gorgeous bluff-top lake views that are perfect for picnic lunches or letting little ones run free.
After a day exploring, return to Sun Haven’s fenced backyard and shaded patio, where outdoor dining and relaxing come naturally. Fire up the gas grill for an easy summer cookout or gather around the fire pit as dusk settles in, toasting marshmallows, swapping stories, and enjoying the calm hum of a South Haven summer night. Inside, the home stays cool and comfortable thanks to new central air, while updated appliances and a thoughtful layout make day-to-day living refreshingly simple.
This location is a central hub to most downtown destinations. Another short stroll brings you to downtown South Haven, where you can browse the weekly farmers market, explore local boutiques, and sample everything from homemade ice cream at Kilwin’s to handmade pizzas at Venezia’s. Stop into a tasting room or enjoy a cocktail on the riverfront at Admiral Jack’s, then catch live music at the marina during the summer at Riverfront Park or hop on a sunset cruise departing from the harbor.
From sunrise walks to starlit fires, Sun Haven captures everything that’s special about South Haven. Whether you're planning a family vacation, a quiet week by the lake, or a friends’ retreat, this sunny slice of the lakeshore is the perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and make lasting memories.

Wonderful home! Great size for my family and I. 10 minute walk to town, less than 10 minutes to the beach stairs for south beach. Quiet, comfortable. Wish we had stayed the month!

We loved our little yellow cottage. It was perfect for our family of three adults and one 5 year old. There were plenty of dishes and pots and pans and all was well organized. It is an easy walk to the beach. We would stay there again. The agency also provided information about the dangers of the smoke. Thank you.

Sun Haven was a great place for the whole family. Large suite upstairs offers nice privacy, but watch out if you’re over 6 foot the ceiling is low. Location is ideal for a South Haven stay, located right between the beach one way and the downtown shops the other way.

Family trip
The location you can’t beat. There was some miscommunication with the checking process but was eventually resolved (I am sure it would have been quicker if it was before 5pm). We do wish we knew that Kid’s corner was closed for renovations but overall the house was nice.

Sunny Getaway
This was a great property. It’s a bit smaller than anticipated and I don’t think the “sleeps 9” is accurate.
There was some trouble getting in and we were given the wrong code, but we called and were able to get that sorted after 15 minutes.

Quaint Little House
Loved the location. About 2 blocks to beach and 6 blocks to town. Property was a little older, but nice and cozy. A little dust on the wooden bunks (just did a quick dusting so my kids’ allergies wouldn’t act up) and the blinds a bit dusty and missing a few wands so they were hard to open but overall clean. Great shelving in the upper bedroom and bath to lay clothes and toiletries. A little stuffy especially upstairs but once the air conditioner started it was fine. We would definitely stay here again. Perfect little place for my husband and I, 2 teenagers and my mother-in-law.

Cozy Home with Perfect Walk to Beach & Town
Our time at Sun Haven was wonderful. The location was ideal, just over 2 blocks to the lake and 5-6 to town. Our family enjoyed many games on the big dining table and reading in the chairs in the nook. Overall the home was clean, stocked, and met our needs nicely; a few blinds in the nook were missing the wands to open/close, so our children couldn't open them, but my husband and I could reach the connector to do so. Shores personnel were very easy to contact and responded quickly and thoroughly; we felt valued for sure. Our kids are already asking when we can return and I am sure we will.

Nice spot for a girls, weekend
Overall great place to stay. We were having a crafting weekend, so we chose the place mostly based on table space. For 3 unrelated adults it was decent. The 3rd bedroom and 2nd bathroom being up in the attic was a touch too creepy (very creaky, very short ceilings in walkway, very steep stairs) and we opted to make use of the bunk beds downstairs.
The weather was absolute crap when we were there (55 and RAIN), but the location would definitely have been a very nice walk to town and the beach. Ditto for the yard. Looked awesome; weren't able to take advantage this time.
Everything was very clean and worked well, even the stove.
We only ran into 2 issues the whole time, neither of which was critical, but just enough to be a bit irritating.
1) the Smart TV needed a login in order to use apps that weren't already installed (and only a handful of the streaming apps were already there). I had brought a chromecast, so it ended up working out for us.
2) There was insufficient lighting in the main living areas. Not just insufficient for the crafting we were doing, but like, really dark. Obviously the listing photos were taken on a sunny day, which is great, but there were only two table lamps in the living and dining areas and the ceiling lights (while ADORABLE) were utterly useless. Which meant we were opening all the blinds in an attempt to see during the day.
I think it's time to update the chandeliers. But overall great, would totally stay again.

Excellent stay
The home is beautiful and worked well for our family of 6 including two young children. It’s close to the beach, town, and the Kids Corner playground. We enjoyed coffee on the porch and reading in the chairs in the nook.

Great House Close to Beach and Town
Could hardly ask for a better house and location - about 4 blocks to the beach, about 4 blocks to town - for whatever the group wants to do. Charming craftsman four square with a lot of cool vintage touches - from light switches to door casings and baseboards. The only caution is to be clear the "sleeps 9" description does include 2 on a sleeper sofa.
All in all 5/5...definitely would repeat!
