Just 2 Blocks from Oak Street Beach - Lake Days are Practically on Your Doorstep
A Quick 10-minute Stroll to Downtown South Haven’s Shops, Eats, and Local Flair
Just a stone’s throw from Oak Street Beach, Soft Landing is your year-round South Haven retreat - Where lake days stretch long, mornings start slow, and doing nothing at all somehow feels like doing it right. It’s the kind of place where bare feet beat clocks, and the soundtrack is equal parts waves, seagulls, and sizzling grills.
Here, summer afternoons drift by under beach umbrellas, fall brings crisp hikes and cider stops, and winter invites fireside reading marathons with your favorite brew in hand. Ease into the day with a short stroll to the shoreline - Flip-flops on, beach wagon in tow, stocked with boogie boards, a cooler, and whatever else the day calls for. If the lake feels especially inviting, take out a kayak or paddleboard for a peaceful glide while the morning is still quiet and the water smooth as glass. Whether you’re chasing waves, soaking up the sun, or simply letting the hours unfold at their own pace, Soft Landing makes it easy to let go and settle into the rhythm of lake life.
When you’re ready to venture beyond the beach, grab one of the five bikes and cruise through town or hit the Kal-Haven Trail for a ride through the woods. Downtown South Haven is just a short walk away, where you’ll find local shops, lakeside eats, and the bustling marina. Catch a sunset at South Beach, grab a scoop from Kilwin's, or swing by the farmers market for fresh finds and small-town charm. There's always something worth wandering into.
Back at Soft Landing, the pace slows even more - This is where comfort meets simplicity, and every space is designed to bring your loved ones together. After a day on the beach, rinse off the sand in the convenient outdoor shower tucked beside the garage, then make your way inside, where the open-concept living area welcomes you in.
Here, the living room is less about screen time and more about real time. Sink into the inviting sofa as the gas fireplace warms the room and sets the tone for the evening - Whether it’s a round of cards, a shared bottle of wine, or just catching up without the usual distractions. The lack of a TV in the main space isn’t a limitation - It’s an open invitation to slow down, laugh a little louder, and actually finish that conversation you’ve been meaning to have.
The kitchen, open to the rest of the space, keeps everyone connected. Whether you’re prepping snacks for the beach or teaming up to create chherished family recipes, there’s room to move, mingle, and stay part of the action. Every detail is designed to bring people together, without ever feeling forced. Just steps away, the dining table becomes the natural hub of the home—laid out for hearty breakfasts, group dinners, or spontaneous board game tournaments that stretch late into the night.
With three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, Soft Landing has plenty of space for everyone to unpack, unwind, and make themselves at home. The primary suite offers a cozy queen bed and a bright, updated private bathroom - Be sure to check out the custom wallpaper, designed by the homeowner herself and featured as a winner of the Wayfair Wallpaper Sweepstakes. It's a fun, unexpected touch that adds personality to the space.
The second bedroom is a welcoming retreat with not one but two queen beds - Perfect for couples traveling together or anyone who appreciates a little extra elbow room. There’s also a smart TV for streaming your favorite shows or winding down with a movie after a long day outside. The third bedroom is ideal for kids or extra guests, with a single set of bunk beds that brings a playful, camp-like feel to the space. There’s also a pack ’n play available for the littlest travelers, making this home a great fit for families of all sizes.
Outside, Soft Landing makes it easy to soak in South Haven’s fresh air and laid-back rhythm. Start your day with coffee on the back patio, where comfortable seating offers a peaceful spot to ease into the morning. When it’s time for lunch, the deck is ready for grilling and gathering - Perfect for casual cookouts, evening drinks, or just swapping stories after a day on the beach.
As the sun sets, gather around the firepit for a little evening glow. With plenty of seating and open sky above, it’s the perfect spot for roasting marshmallows, swapping stories, or simply soaking in the calm of a South Haven night. And when the beach day wraps, the outdoor shower near the garage makes it easy to rinse off the sand and slip right back into relaxation mode. From slow, sunny mornings to unhurried evenings, the outdoor spaces at Soft Landing invite you to stay just a little longer.
And because it’s the thoughtful touches that turn a stay into something memorable, Soft Landing was designed with intention from the ground up. Inside, you’ll find warm wood accents crafted from reclaimed materials, locally sourced artwork, and furnishings that reflect the easy charm of South Haven itself. It’s a space that feels both polished and personal—where every detail has a story and every corner invites you to settle in.
South Haven brings something to love in every season - Sunny afternoons on the sand, sunset sails from the marina, crisp hikes through fall color, and cozy winter evenings by the fire. Just a 10-minute walk from downtown and only blocks from the lake, Soft Landing is the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again.
Don’t just pass through South Haven - Make yourself at home in it. Book your stay at Soft Landing and let the breeze, quiet mornings, and easy "Lake Life" living take over. Book your stay today!
