MICHIANA #2: Two bedroom one bath in downtown South Haven!

The Michiana Apartment #2 is available to quiet, mature, responsible and respectful adults and families only. We do not host guests that are loud, inconsiderate or disrespectful to our other guests and our neighbors.

Michiana #2 is an affordable two bedroom, one bath ground level apartment ideally located on the northeast corner of Michigan Avenue and Indiana Avenue in downtown South Haven, Michigan.

The Michiana's original structure was built in the late 1800s as a large single family home. Years ago it was converted into four separate apartments with two one bedroom apartments and two two bedroom apartments. Apartment #2 has two spacious bedrooms with one queen bed in each bedroom. Each bedroom also has a closet, a dresser and a chair. The living room has comfortable seating as well as a table and chairs for dining or a game of cards. Apartment #2 has had both mechanical and cosmetic updates while still retaining some of the original historic details and finishes. The apartment has a very functional floor plan (see pictures) that can comfortably accommodate a family of four or two adult couples.

There is shared outdoor deck directly adjacent to the apartment with western exposure which gets nice afternoon sun. There is also a natural gas Weber grill on the deck making it convenient to grill lunch or dinner outside. Directly next to the deck is the off street parking area so you do not have to carry your luggage or your groceries too far when loading and unloading your car.

The location is truly ideal. The Michiana is what we like to call 'Close, but not too close!'. By this we mean that it is an easy walk home from the restaurants and night life on Phoenix Street, yet far enough away that you can still sleep peacefully at night with the windows open. The walk to South Beach is only three blocks west straight down Michigan Avenue. This is the best of small town Americana! Have your morning coffee and sweet roll on a bench on Main Street, or in this case Phoenix Street, and watch people stroll by. Then head back home to change into your swim suit and walk down to the beach for a day of fun in the sun. We feel the Michiana is centrally located between downtown South Haven and the beautiful South Beach.

We hope you agree and can come to South Haven and stay at the Michiana. Remember...

Location. Location. Location.

We will see you at the beach!

Perfect location and very comfortable
The location was great with an easy walk to downtown, light house and south beach. The unit was very clean, the beds were comfy and the bathroom and linens were very nice. The owner was easy to reach and very responsive when we had a question. The pictures make the kitchen and living area look a bit dated but don’t hesitate to rent this unit for your stay.

Pleasant stay in South Haven
Great location close to everything South Haven has to offer. Unit was clean and in working order. The bedding and furniture is showing wear, but for the price we were satisfied. Bathroom is nicely updated. We had an enjoyable stay.

Comfortable, Clean, & Close to everything!
Great place for a small family with young ones! Location is close to the main street, we were able to walk there with our young child and my senior mom. Also close to the beach, about 3-4 blocks to walk. Apartment was very well kept and updated. I was impressed with how clean organized everything was. It had everything we needed! I would definitely stay here again or in any of his other listings.

Charming!
Our family of 4 was very comfortable in this charming 2 bedroom apartment. Plenty of room for all of us, extremely clean, great bedding and decorated well to make you feel right at home. Owner very easy to communicate with and makes things very convenient! Only a few blocks to the beach and very close to town making it a perfect location. We cant wait for next year.

Good stay, great location, could use a few updates
Overall, our stay was nice. Location was great for walking to the beach or town with a 6 and 8 year old. Would have liked some updated kitchen ware (ie larger coffee mugs, more forks, containers for left-overs). Also, while super clean the cleaning folks used something to clean inside the fridge that affected the taste of some of our food. Would consider changing products.

There is no shortage of pride in ownership here! While retaining all the charming elements of years gone by, it has been updated for today’s comfort. The exterior had gorgeous florals, huge pots of annuals in perfect bloom despite it being late in the season. It was my kind of very clean and well maintained. Loved the proximity for walking to the beach and downtown. Really enjoyed South Haven and we hope to come back next year and bring our bikes.

Cozy Spot
We had apartment #2. It was comfortable and very clean. Great bathroom, outdoor shower-off for sandy feet. The only down side to this place is that the stairway to other apartments opens onto the porch, and we could see that this would be a problem if you were entertaining outside and a bit of a security concern if you had children playing on the porch. Great place for 2 - close to downtown and to the beach. Great neighborhood, the locals were all friendly and interested in our travels. We will stay here again.

Wow, what a great place!!! Park your car and walk everywhere!
1st time visiting South Haven and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Michiana #2 had all the amenities we needed and the place was very clean and up to date. Was able to use the outdoor gas grill to cook some steaks we brought and the kitchen was stocked with all the utensils, plates and cook ware we needed. Beds were comfortable with all linens and had WIFI and cable. We seriously booked this place 12 hours in advance and the owner (Michael) was great working with us on such short notice. The best was getting a bite to eat and than taking a short walk to the beach to watch the sunset. Such a relaxing trip for our family, so glad I found this place on VRBO (1st time user as well). We will definitely be back to South Haven as we loved the small town vibe, excellent restaurants and shops.

Clean and homey!
This was the second time staying at Michiana #2 for the Icebreaker Festival. We love the location and proximity to downtown South Haven. We just parked our cars and walked all weekend! The apartment is very clean and homey. It has everything that you would need. We loved having a full kitchen so we could eat some meals there. Beds are comfy and the bathroom is nice and big! There were other families staying in the apartments above and beside us and we didn't hear a peep from them! Very sound building! Michael is super easy to communicate with! Very quick to respond and great to set reservations up with! We will be back! Thanks, Michael!

Great location....but that was probably the best part
Three of my friends and I enjoyed our recent trip to South Haven for a girl's weekend. The best thing about this property was the close proximity to enjoy accessing the downtown South Haven area and beach area. Just a couple of blocks to walk to these areas! Michael was quick to respond to any questions prior to our stay, and during our stay. This apartment was adequate and clean. As you can see in the pictures, the outdoor porch area offers very little privacy. Unfortunately, during our stay we had multiple issues with the cable going in/out....or not being able to access it at all for an hours. And with the weather being cruddy, we would have really enjoyed vegging to HGTV together. Also, the kitchen faucet had a continual small stream of water leaking out of it. We could not get it to shut off. Michael was apologetic and assured us that he would have a plumber look into it (after our stay). But it was a nuisance to have to listen to while trying to sleep and such. The apartment was fine, but having stayed in other rentals before, this one just lacked any sort of special touches or real "pride" in it. It supplied basic things, but that was it. We've stayed in other rentals that offer snacks or have special local items to sample. The travel guide on the coffee table was from 2016. It had absolute necessities, but nothing extra.....for instance, I ended up having to go out and buy kleenex and matches. Overall, it was a fine place to stay. But if we come to South Haven again, we will likely pursue other options.

Annual Fall Getaway
Third trip to South Haven at this time of year - first time at Michiana. Location was fabulous - laundry on site a plus. Sheets in front bedroom were the softest I’ve ever encountered - just wow! Only thing I’d suggest is adding a scissors to the kitchen - lol!
