Summers in South Haven have never been brighter than at You Are My Sunshine - An upscale, farmhouse-style retreat just two blocks from the sandy shores of Oak Street Beach. Tucked into the charming north-side neighborhoods, this home blends elevated style with all the familiar comforts you need for a carefree, joy-filled escape. Designed by longtime guests of ours who know exactly what makes a vacation feel effortless and unforgettable, every corner has been thoughtfully curated to welcome you in and let the worries melt away.

Step inside and you’ll instantly feel at home in the warm, open-concept living room. Whether you’re coming back from the beach with sandy toes or settling in after a day exploring downtown, this cozy space invites everyone to sink into the oversized seating, cue up a movie on the large TV, or simply gather around the gas fireplace for a mellow evening in. The ambiance is all yours to set - Easy, inviting, and just the right amount of cozy.

The adjacent kitchen is a hub for connection. With modern appliances, generous counter space, and a layout that keeps everyone in the mix, it’s perfect for everything from pancake breakfasts to late-night snacks. Even if you’re not the cook of the group, you’ll find it’s a space that draws people in - Whether to lend a hand, pour a glass of wine, or sneak a bite of whatever’s sizzling on the stove.

Right off the kitchen, the dining room is where meals turn into memories. Bright and airy, the long table welcomes big breakfasts, game nights, and plenty of lingering conversations. Whether it’s passing the syrup or dealing the next round of cards, this space was made for togetherness.

When it's time to recharge, the main-level King Suite offers a serene escape. With a soft, king-sized bed, calming tones, and a private en suite bath, it's a perfect spot for guests who prefer to avoid stairs while still enjoying a peaceful, private retreat.

Upstairs, there’s room for everyone to stretch out. The second King Suite provides a dreamy sanctuary, while the Kid’s Bunk Suite is brimming with charm and energy - Sure to be filled with laughter. The Twin Suite works beautifully for guests of all ages, and the Family Suite offers a queen and twin bed combo that’s both comfy and flexible. Tucked away at the top is the Loft, a cozy hideout where kids (or adults!) can unwind with a favorite show or game, or just daydream the afternoon away.

Downstairs, the lower-level family room keeps the fun going strong. Curl up for a movie night, set the kids loose in the play area, or rinse off beach day remnants in the full bath before heading back out again. And when you're ready to enjoy some fresh air...

Step outside into your private backyard haven. Start your mornings on the front porch with a mug of coffee and a breeze off the lake, or settle into the backyard lounge where comfy seating and a BBQ grill set the stage for sun-drenched afternoons and delicious dinners. Come evening, gather ‘round the fire pit for stories and s’mores beneath the stars - And don’t forget the soundtrack. The outdoor Sonos speaker system lets you set the perfect vibe, whether it’s easygoing tunes with your morning paper or your favorite summer playlist humming along in the background as twilight sets in.

And while the home itself is a gem, the surrounding neighborhood is equally enchanting. Take a quick walk to Oak Street Beach to soak up the sun, splash in the lake, or hunt for the perfect skipping stones. Head down the block for ice cream at North Side Memories or pastries and coffee at Bunde’s Good Eats. A short stroll over the bridge brings you to downtown South Haven, where boutiques, waterfront dining, and lakeshore adventures await.

At You Are My Sunshine, every detail is in place to make your stay as effortless as it is joyful. We’d love to welcome you soon - come make your summer shine!

This house is better than it seems on the website. The front porch and the kitchen/dining room/living room area are great gathering places. The huge table is great for food prep and can squeeze 12 people. The kitchen is well supplied. It even has good knives. All bedrooms are quiet and comfortable. The house is a two-minute walk to the beach. There's a nice wagon for transporting little kids and supplies and a hose in the backyard for cleaning sandy feet. There are even indoor toys and beach toys for little ones. There were two disappointments. The Internet didn't work most of the week. Also, it seemed like the grill hadn't been cleaned for a long time, which resulted in quite a grease fire (no damage done). All in all, it was a great place for a family beach week.

Our part of 6 adults and 6 children found this house to be just about perfect for our South Haven beach vacation. So easy to get to the public beach on Oak street and walking to a fun corner store and paddle board rental place make this location great. We appreciated the way this house was set up with great storage, great kitchen tools, nice decor and plenty of room for all to enjoy the week. That front porch is awesome!!! We certainly hope to be back at You are my sunshine for future vacations.
