Welcome to Sand Castles Cottages, Cottage 7. (See all nine at www.airbnb.com/p/scc) We are 1 mile to 2 public beaches and located between St. Joseph & South Haven, MI. Our property is unique in that we have 9 vacation rental cottages on one acre. Built between the 1930s-50s, it is one of the last properties of this type along Lake Michigan in this area. We have tried to keep the old charm while adding modern amenities. You can rent 1-9, depending on your group size.

The space
Cottage 7 is an ORIGINAL TINY HOUSE! We have tried to keep this 1950s cottage’s charming vintage feel but updated this cottage with modern amenities.
This studio cottage sleeps 2 with a queen bed, all linens provided. There is a private bathroom with shower and a kitchenette with Keurig, toaster oven, microwave, and induction cooktop. A table for two is inside and there is outdoor seating in the yard.
Basically everything is provided for your stay except personal toiletries and food. There is an HDTV with Roku providing hundreds of channels and WiFi.
Outside there is a gas grill and charcoal grill (charcoal not included but often left from previous guests) plus a communal fire pit nearby (firewood provided). We have two screened in gazebos that are available to all our guests. There are outdoor games between cottages 3 and 8.

Guest access
There is plenty of outdoor seating and dining in front of cottage and a communal fire pit nearby with firewood provided. Outdoor games including corn hole, croquet, ring toss, ladder ball, and disc golf. Across the property is a swing set and sand box with toys.

Other things to note
Our cottages can be rented all at once to provide accommodations for groups!
There can be the potential for traffic noise because of our road frontage on m63, however, this is probably the quietest cottage.
No tents please!
No pets allowed. If you bring a pet on the property you will lose your deposit and be asked to remove the pet immediately.
We have bikes to borrow.

Sand Castles Cottages is truly a family run business! We purchased the cottages 12 years ago and our family has grown up around them. Traveling with our homeschooled kids has been part of our life and we split time between Michigan and Florida. The beach is one of our favorite places to be!
