About the Property
Location, location, location! The location is amazing! The Oakland is in the highly sought after Monroe Park of North Beach. With views of Lake Michigan from the entire front of the house (1 minute walk to the beach) and views of the harbor from the back of the house, you will always know that you are at the lake.

Location, location, location! The location is amazing! The Oakland is in the highly sought after Monroe Park of North Beach. With views of Lake Michigan from the entire front of the house (1 minute walk to the beach) and views of the harbor from the back of the house, you will always know that you are at the lake. Sit out on the front patio with a cool drink and watch the sun set on the lake - you won't want to leave! A casual 15 minute walk takes you to the shops and restaurants of beautiful downtown South Haven.
The Oakland was built as a resort hotel in 1927 and was first known as 'Mendelson's', and then later as 'The Oakland Resort'. According to The S.H. Historical Society, this is the resort that Clark Gable vacationed at in the '30s. Antique memorabilia of the period is displayed throughout the home.
Now converted into two separate private residences, the Oakland South has over 2000 square feet of living space with soaring ten foot ceilings, original millwork trim & windows, and solid wood doors with antique transom vents above the doors.
This is a three bedroom home (one queen, one full, and two sets of bunk beds) which very comfortably sleeps eight, with two full sized baths (perfect for two couples and four children). If an additional bed is needed for two more, there is a queen size sofa sleeper in the den.
The Oakland South was renovated by an interior designer to provide you with all the modern conveniences while maintaining the comfortable feeling that a classic Lake Michigan resort should.
The huge 'North Beach' of South Haven is one of the finest beaches in all Southwest Michigan. This huge beach of clean, sugar-like sand has all the amenities you could hope for: full concession stand with ice cream cones and hot dogs, clean restrooms, playground equipment, picnic tables, and volleyball courts. The best part about this beach, however, is the fact that there are absolutely NO stairs to climb! Anywhere!!

We reside in Glenview, Illinois with our 3 daughters: Sophia, Gianna and Bianca. We are a beach loving family and enjoy everything that South Haven has to offer...the huge beach (see pic), walking on the pier, playing in the park and of course, swimming in the lake!
Quick, easy and simple beach access with no steps or stairs. We grew up going to other beaches in Michigan and the good memories of the beach are diluted by the painful memories of hauling stuff up and down all of those stairs! At North Beach, pull a wagon full of your beach toys, coolers and towels from the front door of the house all the way to the water's edge on the beach! Now that is relaxing!
Our favorite ritual is taking an early morning walk over the drawbridge into town to the Golden Brown Bakery and surprising the kids with fresh baked donuts and espressos for us.
Unique Benefits
After making our post arrival trip to the grocery store, we love the fact that we rarely ever get back into the car - walking everywhere is great family time.

This house is the perfect location to the beach, downtown and perfect view of the most gorgeous sunsets. It is very clean, tons of room and had everything stocked from linens and bath towels to spices and kitchen supplies. The owners were a pleasure to work with. We will for sure be back for another visit.

Wonderful beach getaway!

We loved our stay here! Location is perfect - short walk to fabulous north beach, but still in a relatively quiet location. House was clean, roomy and full of light, and comfortably fit our family of six even on rainy days when we had to stay in. Plenty of linens and towels, well-stocked kitchen, lovely front lawn and peaceful back patio. Owners were lovely and helpful. We loved every minute of the relaxing week we spent here and hope to come back soon!

A Beauty ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were joined by our son, daughter-in-law and grandson to experience this wonderful summer home. It was perfectly located steps from the beautiful South Haven North beach and the Black River. We enjoyed the gorgeous Lake Michigan sunsets from the front porch or only a short walk to the beach. In the morning we sat on the back deck over coffee and watched the boats on the river. Amazing space in this comfortable home, with very high ceilings. This was a gem. Only one suggestion for improvement would be to replace the double bed for another queen. Date of arrival August 12, 2017
