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. Nestled in the north-side neighborhoods, our home offers the perfect blend of stylish decor with all the comforts you need for a carefree escape. Designed by longtime guests of ours who truly understand what makes a vacation unforgettable, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to ensure your stay is as relaxing as it is memorable.

Step inside, and you’ll immediately feel at home in the warm, open-concept living room. This inviting space is perfect for unwinding after a sun-soaked day at the beach, featuring a large TV for movie marathons and a gas fireplace to set the perfect ambiance. Whether you’re sharing stories, enjoying lively conversations, or curling up with a good book, the cozy seating ensures everyone has a spot to relax and recharge.

Just beyond the living room, the kitchen is ready to bring everyone together. Outfitted with modern appliances and plenty of counter space, it’s ideal for everything from quick snack prep to elaborate family dinners. Its thoughtful layout makes cooking a breeze while keeping the conversation flowing. Whether it’s morning coffee, a group meal, or a midnight snack raid, this kitchen has you covered.

Steps away, the dining room is where meals become memories. With a large, welcoming table and plenty of seating, it’s perfect for everything from pancake breakfasts to pizza nights. This sunny, cheerful space is designed to bring people together - Whether you’re swapping stories, playing a game, or simply savoring a delicious meal.

When it’s time to rest, the main level King Suite is the ultimate retreat. With a plush king-sized bed, a calming ambiance, and its own en suite bathroom, this space is designed for both comfort and convenience. Perfect for guests who prefer to avoid stairs, it offers easy access and a cozy escape where you can unwind in privacy.

Upstairs, the rest of the family has plenty of room to relax, with four unique bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The King Suite offers a dreamy escape with a luxurious bed, while the Kid’s Bunk Suite is a playful haven complete with bunk beds kids will love. The Twin Suite provides flexibility with twin beds that suit guests of all ages, and the Family Suite combines a queen bed and a twin bed for the perfect mix of comfort and convenience. For even more fun, head up to the Loft, a playful hideaway with a TV and Netflix, perfect for movie nights, gaming sessions, or quiet downtime filled with giggles.

The lower-level family room keeps the fun going with plenty of space to relax and play. It features a cozy TV room for movie nights, a dedicated kids’ play area, and a full bathroom with a shower for added convenience. From this level, you’ll also have direct access to the backyard.

Step outside, and you’ll find plenty of options to soak up the outdoors. Start your day on the charming front porch, where comfy lounge seating makes it the perfect spot for people-watching over brunch or your morning coffee. Prefer more privacy? Head to the backyard retreat, where you can relax in the stylish lounge area, fire up the BBQ grill for a family feast, or gather around the fire pit for stories under the night sky.

The surrounding neighborhood is just as delightful. A quick stroll takes you to Oak Street Beach, where you can bask in the sun, dip your toes in the water, and soak in breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. Stop by North Side Memories for ice cream or visit Bunde’s Good Eats for South Haven’s best pastries, Starbucks coffee, and tasty lunches. A short walk over the bridge brings you to downtown South Haven, where you can explore local gems like the Michigan Maritime Museum, enjoy waterfront dining at Captain Lou’s, or grab supplies at The Depot party store. With so much to do just steps from your door, You Are My Sunshine is the perfect home base for your South Haven adventure. Book your stay today!

Shores Vacation Rentals does a superb job with communication. Never once felt we had to scrounge looking for information. Love the reminder on check-out day, so that we knew what we had to do to leave appropriately.

We were amazed. This place highlighted a special visit with friends for our college reunion. The vibe was comforting, and the amenities all we could ask for. Loved the location, love the decor; it was all more than we were expecting. You have an beautiful property. Thanks for the wonderful memories!

Truly wonderful property for a family vacation. There is tons of space to spread out and a great play area in the basement for kids. The kitchen has everything you could want or need. There is also a room filled with outdoor recreational gear - bikes, paddleboards, beach chairs. This was awesome to have available!

Overall, it was the perfect long weekend stay for our group! There was something for everyone. The teenagers loved venturing down to North beach in search of action while the moms loved sitting on the porch drinking wine or watching the sun set from the nearby beach each evening. The kids also enjoyed ending the night around the fire pit out back. The huge sectional in the living room was the perfect gathering spot for the whole group. We all loved the house!

We stayed the weekend for the Ice Breakers Festival. Our family has a great time with all the winter family fun activities, making Smores, horse wagon rides and seeing all the ice sculptures. They have an adorable outdoor ice skating rink, my kids loved it so much we went both days.
