About This Home
As of August 2021Driftwood Cottage is nestled on a private lot in the popular Miami Park neighborhood. Surrounded by trees it has the ''up north'' feeling but is close to all of the fun in South Haven and Saugatuck. From the newly remodeled kitchen to the luxury vinyl plank flooring there are a number of recent upgrades. Even the siding is brand new! Lake Michigan is at the end of the street providing endless opportunities to enjoy spectacular sunsets. Membership in the stairs association is included. A tram share is available for purchase. New stairs are being built. Driftwood cottage is consistently booked throughout the summer as a vacation rental and has an excellent rental history. VRBO 1130152
