AVERY STREET BEACH HOUSE. SLEEPS TWELVE! SIX BEDROOMS! FOUR BATHS!

AVERY STREET BEACH HOUSE
70 North Shore Drive, South Haven, MI 49090
Accommodates up to TWELVE (12) guests maximum in six bedrooms and four full bathrooms.

The Avery Street Beach House is our family home that has been painstakingly restored and is meticulously maintained. It is available for rent to quiet, mature, respectful and responsible families only. We do not rent our home for any bachelor/bachelorette parties, high school/college reunions, wedding receptions or any type of gathering whatsoever.

The Avery Street Beach House accommodates TWELVE (12) guests maximum. We do not allow more than twelve guests in the house nor on the property at any time for any reason. Please do not consider this house as an option should you have more than twelve guests or even want to have visitors for the day.

This house boasts the most ideal location as there are no bluffs, sand dunes nor endless staircases to hike up and down when going to and from the beach. A short walk to everything including downtown South Haven's boutique shops, cafe's and restaurants, river walk and newly renovated marina. The beautiful exterior design was inspired by the 'Shingle Style' architecture commonly found on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. The luxurious, spacious and functional floor plan includes a Master Suite on the first floor. This home was designed to accommodate large families. Six large bedrooms with four full bathrooms and beautiful high end fixtures, finishes and furniture throughout. Three outdoor spaces including front and side covered porches as well as a large rear deck provide an abundance of outdoor space.

THE VERY BEST LOCATION!!!

Do not compromise on your vacation.: This home has six (6) spacious bedrooms with four (4) full bathrooms and sleeps twelve guests comfortably in beds in bedrooms. The first floor Master Suite has a king size bed with en suite private bath. Five upstairs bedrooms include one king bed, two queen beds, one full bed and the fifth bedroom has two twin beds. Other amenities include a huge entertaining kitchen with solid cherry cabinets, granite counter tops, GE Profile stainless steel appliances and every imaginable cooking utensil. This home boasts a historic beach house interior design as well with custom woodwork, hardwood floors, retro light fixtures, door hardware and numerous details throughout! Central air conditioning, full size washer and dryer, color TV, cable, DVD, WIFI, off-street parking for four cars, spacious side and rear yard.

There is also a new stand alone Coach House located behind the back deck. The Coach House has a ping pong table, Foosball table and comfortable seating with flat screen TV. The Coach House is perfect for your teenage children or grandchildren needing a place to hang out and relax.

Do as much or as little as you like. Relax and do nothing, go for long walks, hang out on the beach, sun bathe, swim in the lake, jump the waves, watch the sunset, roast marshmallows, play backgammon, eat real ice cream, have a meaningful conversation with your spouse, spend time with your children, spend time with your parents, spend some time alone. Call your boss and tell her you quit and you are moving to South Haven to enjoy the good life. Keep dreaming!

The Avery Street Beach House is located in South Haven's Historic Monroe Park neighborhood just steps away from the beautiful North Beach. Southwestern Michigan has often been referred to as the "Hamptons of the Midwest" and the beautiful North Beach is the jewel in the center of this region.

Walk everywhere! Within walking distance are the North Beach, Woodman Beach, Dyckman Beach, South Haven Municipal Marina, Stanley Johnson Park and a wide variety of retail shops and restaurants in the downtown area.

While we love animals, we respectfully ask that you please leave your pets at home. Please do not ask us if we will make an exception to this rule!

What a great place!

What a great place! First off, you can’t beat South Haven in the summer. And the house is top notch. Loved all the deck space to enjoy the outdoors. There were plenty of bathrooms and everyone had their own room. Also, 2 hot water tanks, so no problem with multiple showers going at the same time. While we had just adults for this trip, the house would be great for a family visit as well. Well appointed, plenty of glasses, dishes, towels, etc. Great location and easy to get around to all the fun stuff in South Haven. We rented a pontoon one afternoon and went out into Lake Michigan and up the river. Super fun! Two thumbs up!

Last minute girls trip

Last minute work schedule change providing a few days off, heading to the Avery home in South Haven was absolutely first thought. It doesn’t matter what the weather is like, it’s always 75 and sunny at the Avery. Perfectly appointed with spacious kitchen and dining room extending outside to fabulous deck. Comfy large family room complete with game/dinette table with plenty of space for everyone. Basement living area is perfect for the night owls to watch a movie and hang out while the rest. Looking forward to going back!!

Fun in the sun in South Haven

We wanted to take a late summer family vacation, and hadn't previously spent much time on the west side of the state. There were 10 of us, including 3 children and we were looking for a place that had a sufficient number of bedrooms, dining table for all 10 of us, and was in walking distance to everything. The Avery Street Beach House was everything we wanted and had plenty of room for us all to gather together, read, make puzzles and play games. The home was as advertised, beautifully kept up, well stocked with everything you need, and very comfortable. The kids enjoyed the backyard playground, outdoor games, and the beach which was just a short walk away. Shopping and dining was close and plentiful. The property manager, (Michael) was responsive to our questions, very organized, and provided everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a really nice place to stay with friends and family, in a beach town.

Wonderful Stay at the Beach

Terrific property with plenty of room for our three generations. The Kitchen is large and well-equipped, the large deck is great for grilling out and the game room was a special treat for the family. Check in was a breeze and Michael communicated well ahead of time and during our stay. Great location - a block from the beach and a few steps from Bunde’s Bakery (yum!).

What a great weekend getaway! The location is a very short walk to a beautiful sandy beach, with volleyball courts and kayak rentals. The house had everything we needed - and a few things we forgot like seasonings and ice. I highly recommend this property - very easy check-in and out, very clean and well stocked with fresh towels and linens. I would stay here again!!

Amazing house, location, and experience

This house was AWESOME. Huge and had all of the features you could want in a vacation rental home. We had 11 people and it never felt crowded and we all had everything we needed from the start. The bonus game room/garage was a nice surprise and I could imagine spending most of our time out there in the summer. The kitchen was perfect for cooking our giant breakfast and everyone was comfortable in their rooms. We stayed in the off season for a winter festival and it was the perfect location for walking downtown, but hearing the lake told me that we NEED to book this house in the summer too. Michael was extremely easy to get in contact with throughout the stay and before arrival. We even spoke with the neighbors who had nothing but nice things to say about him as well. We can’t wait to stay again!

10th Year

My friends and I started renting The Avery in 2009…this was our 10th year! You couldn’t ask for better a location in South Haven. Lake Michigan is a 2 minute walk and downtown South Haven is less then a 10 minute walk. If the weather isn’t accommodating, enjoy a game of foosball or ping pong in the new game room. The house is decorated tastefully and has plenty of room for everyone. We're looking forward to our 11th year at The Avery
