How it started

South Haven Michigan Properties was established in 2010 with the rental of the personal vacation property of two of our managing partners. Although many property managers existed in the area, none provided the level of service that the owners wanted to provide to their guests. As our property ownership expanded, so did the need for a collaborated approach to build a better model for vacation property management. We built a unique alternative to other management companies in the South Haven area.

Our philosophy

With a clear vision of the goals of our clients and guests, we will provide the services necessary to facilitate a wonderful experience for our guests. Our pathway includes attention to detail, honest and open communication, ultimate in customer service skills, simplification of fees, pride in quality services and maintenance of the properties.

We strive for continuous improvement, candid communications, and exceptional service. We have big plans and look forward to having you being a part of our future.
