Perfect for Family - HEATED POOL thru early Oct, WALK to Downtown/Beach, HOT TUB

'Sunset Center' is an adjacent pair of family vacation houses. The 'Sun House' is a 6 bedroom, 4 bathroom vacation home featuring a private gated 15x30 heated swimming pool, 6 person hot tub, playscape, and wooded ravine lot with fire pit. The property is an easy 4 block walk down the sidewalk to South Beach, Kid's Corner, and downtown shopping and dining.

All comforts of home are provided, including washer and dryer, linens, all major kitchen appliances (including refrigerator with ice and water dispenser, range, dishwasher, and microwave), kitchen utensils, free wireless Internet, 8 cable TVs (Four X1 Voice Enabled boxes with apps such as Netflix, Youtube, and access to the HDR, and 4 basic cable boxes for the remainder), many DVD/VCR players, CD players, just to name a few.

The house is perfect for families with children of all ages. The pool and hot tub are gated for your protection. Both the front and back yards are fenced.

Family-friendly items included are books for all ages, toys, puzzles, movies for all ages, well-loved bikes, riding toys, high chair, full size crib with rocking chair, baby gate, exersaucer, strollers, sippee cups, baby monitor, booster seats, kid-sized picnic table, and pool toys.

Enjoy the flexibility and convenience of having 6 private bedrooms, conveniently located throughout the house! 4 bedrooms are upstairs. One is a large master suite with private bathroom. Another full bathroom is in the upstairs hall. 2 bedrooms are downstairs, each adjacent to separate full bathrooms. The house has an open design, with the living room, dining area and kitchen all open to each other in a 'great' room. The sunroom overlooks the backyard pool and wooded ravine yard. The sunroom can be accessed from either the hallway or through the kitchen.

There is another bonus room downstairs that is referred to as the 'futon room' or the 'play' room since it can be closed off as a 7th bedroom with a futon or utilized as a another common living room with a TV/VCR/DVD with a video library and bookshelves loaded with books, games, and toys.

The pool will be open and heated from mid May until approximately October 1. The hot tub is open and heated year-round. Enjoy the rare warm water in South Haven in June and September!

Need even more space? My property actually has 2 houses next door to each other. My Ice House is another 6 bedroom house right next door.

NOTE: Outdoor security cameras are in use at the front door and driveway only.

Comfortable house with loads of room. The property is an easy walk to town and the beach. The house has multiple private spaces which was nice as several of us had to work on line. Outdoor spaces were peaceful and beautifully landscaped. Only adults came on this last trip however in the past we have vacationed with a wide age range of babies and children. The house accommodates them with toys and a safe barrier from the hot tub and pool. This is an outstanding property for a family holiday.

Great family vacation home

There was three families that totaled ten people. The space worked great for us. The house was clean and ready when we showed up. Communication with the host was easy. The house is in a great location. It was easy to get to the lake, parks and downtown. The pool and hot tub felt amazing. There is a little playground between the houses that the younger kids enjoyed. Would definitely come back here.
