Anchors Aweigh is a beautiful, custom-built home designed for family getaways in South Haven. You’ll love the fabulous location just a couple blocks from South Beach and all the downtown shops and restaurants. You can even glimpse Lake Michigan from the front yard!



The cathedral ceilings, skylights and bay windows give the main level a bright and airy feel, with the kitchen opening into the living and dining areas. A master suite with king bed and ensuite bathroom on the main level, a bunk bedroom on the main level plus two bedrooms on the lower level means you can sleep multiple generations easily.



The lower level living area is vibrant and fun - a great hangout spot for popcorn and movies, a large table for games or eating, and there is plenty of seating. A fantastic selection of board games and books for all ages and skill levels await. Hop up to the counter for a quick game, huddle around the card table or pull a favorite title off the shelves to get cozy. You'll also find a second fridge, microwave and bar sink for the convenience of snacks, meal prep space or an easy place to start breakfast for the early birds while the others sleep in!



When you’re not at the beach (3 blocks away) or exploring town (4 blocks), you’ll enjoy the lake breezes in the outdoor spaces - choose from the classic front porch, a fully screened back porch right off the kitchen, or the cozy outdoor patio dining area.

Beautiful home and great location

House was perfect for our family and toddler. Clean, spacious, and had all the necessities for a vacation rental. Location was great with short walks to the beach and to the main area downtown with all the shops and restaurants.

Perfect location

We loved being so close to town and the beach. The house had bedrooms for all of us and the three full baths fit our needs perfectly. The kids thought the downstairs room was made just for them. Six adults and four kids loved this house!

Clean and Excellent Location in South Haven

This house is wonderful for big groups or small groups. We had 5 adults stay for a week, a couple of the nights we had a few other adult children visiting. With two bedrooms on each floor and a living room on each floor it really was great. Plenty of space to spread out and have your alone time yet the communal areas are big enough you can all get together too. The check in process was very easy and the few times we had questions the management company was very responsive. It’s about 3-4 blocks to the beach and 2-ish blocks to downtown so the location is excellent. The property was clean and well appointed. Highly recommend!

The BEST

This house was amazing in all the ways. They had literally every single thing you would want in the kitchen and for a stay near the beach. The house was clean and well decorated. And the screened in porch made my mornings and evenings even better. I could have stayed for weeks (if it wasn't for school and jobs). Our entire family loved it. Thank you so much.
