Living Spaces At 820 Monroe (formerly known as Family Tides), it’s easy to imagine gazing out through the oversized windows to watch the captivating lake views before you. It’s equally easy to imagine lighting a fire in the fireplace and snuggling into one of the cozy sofas with a hot cup of tea. Whether you choose to dig into the book you’ve been saving, check your socials, or stream a show or movie on the Smart TV, this room envelopes you like a gentle hug. The basement game room is another refuge, complete with an oversized leather sofa, and TV. The kids (and the kids at heart) will happily spend hours at the foosball table. The corner table for four is ideal for either board or card games.
Cooking & Dining The incredible, oversized kitchen is fit for a gourmet chef, complete with professional-grade appliances including a 6-burner gas stove. The double-width island features a double sink and a separate vegetable sink. There’s more than enough room for even the largest of grocery orders and more food prep space than even 5 people could use simultaneously! The adjacent dining area for 12 will tempt even the die-hard “TV with dinner” folks into pulling up a chair for a family meal. If you prefer your meals al fresco, it’s easy to take advantage of the outdoor grill and oversized dining table.
Bed & Bath 820 Monroe (formerly Family Tides) boasts 5 bedrooms and 4 baths across 3 levels. Everyone in your group can look forward to a restful nights’ sleep in comfortable beds with high-quality linens. Incredible views await you in the large, main-level master suite, with a king-size bed, dual nightstands and lamps, and ceiling fan. Complete with a desk and chair and a separate seating area, this room feels like a true sanctuary. The ensuite bath offers a modern claw-foot soaking tub, tiled walk-in shower with a bench, and dual sinks. A second full bath is located near the front entryway and offers a walk-in shower. Upstairs are two bedrooms that share a full hall bath with a tub/shower. The first of these bedrooms offers a queen bed, dual nightstands and lamps, and a ceiling fan. The second can be used as a kids' lair or family suite, with a double-over-double bunk and a king bed. The basement offers two bedrooms that share a full hall bath with a walk-in shower. The first of these offers a king bed and TV, with the second offering a queen bed and TV.
Outdoor Spaces Mother Nature takes center stage at 820 Monroe (formerly Family Tides). Take in the sweeping lake views from the covered patio or up-close-and-personal on your private sandy beach with Adirondack chairs. The fenced-in backyard oasis is a safe and private space for your group to hang out and make memories together. The outdoor pool is where guests love to spend sunny days splashing around. When playtime is over for the day, the auto cover makes light work of covering up the pool to keep everyone safe (especially little guests).The giant Jenga game is sure to provide some family fun and new memories. Gather around the fire pit for stories, laughs, and s’mores. But everyone’s favorite might just be the warm, bubbling hot tub on the cool Lake Michigan evenings.

Wonderful property! Hot Tub, Grill, and Fire Pit were all great and convenient! Access to the beach was well maintained and had great quiet places to relax and enjoy the amazing views!
Guest Review
by Matt
5/5
The house is located in an area that is accessible to everything. Just a few short minutes to all of the great restaurants in the area and only about 5 minutes to a great grocery store. That's important because the kitchen area is huge, so eating in is an enjoyable experience too. I would talk about how comfortable the house is but the real attraction is the back yard. The walk down to the beach is easy, and the beach itself is amazing. The hot tub and pool give a resort feel and the fire pit is the perfect way to end a day on the beach. Sunsets are an event you can't miss with the sweeping views, and morning breakfast on the huge outdoor dining table sets your day up for relaxation and enjoyment. Would easily recommend and hope to be back soon.

We had the most amazing stay! The house far exceeded the beautiful pictures (if you can even imagine!) - It was supremely clean, well-organized, comfortable, and stocked with everything we could need. The private beach was the perfect retreat for our family, and the pool was a wonderful change of pace in between beach time. We walked down to the Pier several times, and we appreciated the beautiful neighborhoods along the way. Our kids cried when we left - We already can't wait to come back!

5/5
We had such a great stay! The location was unbeatable. It was walkable to downtown South Haven, the lighthouse, and the public beach, but also had it's own private beach, which was so lovely! From the photos, I thought the private beach would be fairly small, but it was actually quite expansive. During our week-long stay, no one else was using the beach, except for the occasional person walking along the shoreline - it was so private and perfect! The house had a great set-up for our family of 4 with kids. It definitely could have accommodated MANY more people comfortably. Maybe next time, we will bring our extended family! There was so much space inside, and the layout was great, too. Everything you might need during your stay was provided, and they even had a nice selection of "extras", like games, books, dvds, paddleboards, etc. We would highly recommend booking here!
Thanks for the great time!

We had an excellent stay at Terri's place! It was accurately described and great for our large family. There were plenty of spaces inside and out for us to spread out. I would recommend that anyone stay at this house!
End of Life Celebration
by Marcy
5/5
The property was absolutely perfect for what we needed. We had ages from the 80s to 18 months. We had a room for everyone. Anything we needed or wanted was available in the house. Other VRBO Rentals say they rent to large groups, but don't have enough of everything to accommodate that amount. This home has more than enough for the number of rooms available. The kitchen was well-appointed for anything you might want to prepare. The beds were comfortable, and plenty of space. The location is close enough to walk to town, the park, and the beach. The outdoor space has plenty of space to enjoy different activities, from the hot tub to the fire pit and more. We would definitely stay again if ever in the area. The sunsets are phenomenal.
Great place to stay

by Julie

The home was beautiful and very clean with everything we needed and more. We were a block from a nice playground for the little ones and very close to downtown. The sunsets were amazing whether watched from the beach or the patio. The garage was packed with bikes, floats, sand toys and more.

I stayed here with 4 close gal pals and the house was perfect. Everything was clean and as advertised. We enjoyed the hot tub, sitting outside overlooking the beautiful lake and sunset, and taking a walk with coffee on the private beach. We were also able to walk to downtown South Haven so location was great. All in all we had a wonderful stay and hope to be back, highly recommended!

Family Delight
by Duane
5/5
The property is perfectly placed atop the bluff overlooking the lighthouse and beach of South Haven on Monroe Ave. The house was adequate for our family, which included our grandkids who loved the new pool. This house has it all, and has become our new favorite. One improvement we would suggest is to clear out some of the growth on the hillside so that the lighthouse could be visible from the house and sitting areas. Thank you for a great week ! The Westnedge Family

Nice property with wonderful view of Lake Michigan. Access to private beach, which thoroughly enjoyed. Stairs to beach a little tricky for grandmother. Close to many South Haven attractions. Great family town. House has plenty of space. We needed to call for directions on how to use oven and had a very prompt response. Want to come back sometime.
Spacious home on the lake, short walk to the beach
by Rashelle
5/5
We enjoyed a weekend with 8 adults, 1 child, and 2 infants at this home. The kitchen was perfect for cooking and congregating throughout the weekend. We loved all the outdoor space, lake views, and small beach on the property. The public beach is just a short walk away as well. With 4 couples, we did have one couple stay in the bunk room and another in the basement on a Murphy bed. Overall, would definitely recommend for a larger group traveling to South Haven!
Amazing house!
by Allison
5/5
The house and the view were amazing! Every bed was comfortable and the location is great. You can walk down to the main beach or the park. You can also take a dip in front of the house down the stairs. The only complaint we had was some of the stairs down to the water were a bit dangerous with our older parents/young kids so just be careful!

Absolutely Delightful!
by Lisa
5/5
Our family went for a long weekend and had a wonderful time! The location was fantastic, on the water with amazing views (we all sat in silence one night and watched the sunset over the lake for 30 minutes), private beach access, and a walk or short drive to town. It had multiple seating options leading to the beach, a great hot tub and plenty of room in the house for everyone. The house was very clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, utensils, glassware, etc. The management staff was consistently easy to work with and very friendly. For all of these reasons and more, this house ranks among one of our family's favorites!

Our family had a wonderful winter getaway at this house. The location is perfect with stunning views of the lake. The house seemed larger and nicer in person than the pictures. Everything was clean. My toddlers enjoyed some nice surprises like the play kitchen in the basement and kid's books while the adults loved the hot tub. Perfect getaway spot!

Beautiful home with amazing views
by Darci
5/5
My husband and I rented this beautiful house for our anniversary weekend (Thursday-Sunday). It was everything we were hoping for and more! The home is absolutely beautiful, with amazing views of Lake Michigan and the sunsets. My in laws and kids came up on Friday. Only downside of the whole trip was the weather on Saturday (terrible winds), but the upside of that was we were able to see the awesome waves crashing into the lighthouse. We cannot wait to stay again, especially when it's warmer.
Beautiful View

Great Family Time
by Jeff
5/5
Accommodating 3 families ,2 with toddlers is an accomplishment. We not only had the space for beds and eating, but being able to get to the beach easily along with playground and downtown. The steps down prohibited a lot of time down , but nice to have the option. Air conditioning in basement was very loud to sleep there, and cold, but was an option for sleeping.
Amazing lakefront property
by Kandy
5/5
The view from this property is reason enough to stay here! There are amazing lake views from at least 4 seating areas on your way down to the lake--sunsets were spectacular. The house itself is very well maintained. Everything you could want for your stay is already there. My teenage kids loved the basement and the bunk room. I highly recommend this house.

We could not have been more pleased with our stay! The home was beautiful, immaculate and had everything we needed and the views of Lake Michigan and sunsets were magnificent! Location was great, close to the park, beach and downtown restaurants and shops. The kids had so much fun in the hot tub and with the foosball table and we all enjoyed s'mores by the fire while watching the sunset. We are already talking about the next time we can visit South Haven and stay here again.
Beautiful! Even in winter, this was a lovely getaway!
by Dana
5/5
Really loved the property, the views of the sunrises & lake throughout the day were incredible. We used many of the features in the home & everything was well maintained, clean and functional. We thoroughly enjoyed watching sunsets from the hot tub, enjoyed the fire pit during the day, and the kids really loved the comfort and coolness of having their own bedroom (with a TV!) and the basement space. We will return for sure when we save up enough for another getaway!

Perfect view of Lake Michigan
by Nicole
5/5
Lovely property right on lake, just as described in the listing. The house was clean and comfortable, nice beds with plenty of space. Best part is by far the view, gorgeous sunsets and we were lucky to have had good weather and the ability to enjoy the private beachfront, fire pit and hot tub even in November. Note the neighbors are close, not an issue for us but not as private as some might want. Only small request I would have is a few throw blankets around the house to use in the colder months. We really enjoyed our stay and would rent again.

We loved this house. We really have no complaints. Prior to getting to the property we had a lot of questions and communication with management and they were always very quick to respond. The property was even better than the pictures captured. The private beach was perfect for our group of friends. Be careful on the slippery steps to the lake though! Perfect location. Loved it!
