If you’re looking for a South Haven getaway that combines Lake Michigan access, beautiful scenery, and a little more privacy, the Miami Park neighborhood is worth discovering.
Located on the north side of South Haven, Miami Park sits high on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. What makes this neighborhood especially unique is its private neighborhood beach, accessible by both a set of metal stairs and a one-of-a-kind electric beach tram.
And if you’re traveling with a group, Anchor Point Vacation Rentals manages three homes in Miami Park that can accommodate up to 30 guests combined—making it an ideal destination for families, friends, or multiple families vacationing together.
A Private Beach Just Steps—or a Tram Ride—Away
One of the biggest perks of staying in Miami Park is having access to a private neighborhood beach.
Rather than driving to the beach or searching for a parking spot, you can simply head down the bluff and settle in for a day along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
And then there’s the electric beach tram.
The tram provides an easy, unique way to get from the neighborhood down to the beach, which is especially convenient when you're carrying beach chairs, coolers, towels, and everything else that somehow comes along for a beach day. Prefer a little exercise? The metal stairs provide another route to the shoreline.
Once you reach the beach, you can spend the day swimming, building sandcastles, walking the shoreline, or simply watching the waves roll in.
Then, when you're ready to head back, make the trip up the bluff and enjoy the comforts of your vacation home.

Three Miami Park Vacation Rentals to Choose From
Anchor Point Vacation Rentals offers three unique homes in Miami Park. While each has its own personality and amenities, all three give guests access to the neighborhood's private beach.
The Golden Hour
The Golden Hour combines rustic charm with modern comforts and offers panoramic Lake Michigan views.
With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it sleeps up to 8 guests, making it a great option for a family or smaller group looking for a peaceful beach getaway. Bring Fido too because this one is dog friendly!
After a day at the lake, gather around the fire pit and enjoy one of the best parts of a Michigan summer evening—watching the sky change colors as the day winds down.
Lake It Easy
The name says it all.
Lake It Easy is designed with families in mind, offering 3 bedrooms plus a loft with bunks, 2.5 bathrooms, and sleeping space for up to 10 guests.
You'll find a hot tub, fire pit, and playset, giving everyone plenty to enjoy when you're not down at the beach.
Spend the morning at Lake Michigan, come home for lunch, head back to the beach in the afternoon, and finish the evening gathered around the fire. That's a pretty good vacation rhythm.
Urban Escape
For a modern getaway with plenty of amenities, Urban Escape brings it all.
This 4-bedroom retreat with a bunk loft and 3.5 bathrooms sleeps up to 12 guests and is made for families and friends who like a little competition and a lot of time together.
Challenge your group to a game of pickleball, basketball, or shuffleboard, relax in the year-round heated Soake Pool, gather around the fire pit, or head down to the private neighborhood beach for a beach day.
There's plenty of room to spread out, but just as much space to come together.
Why Stay in Miami Park?
A South Haven vacation can mean many things—beach days, downtown shopping, ice cream, biking, boating, hiking, and long evenings outside. Miami Park gives you an easy home base for all of it while offering something you don't find at every South Haven rental: private neighborhood beach access with a unique electric tram to the shoreline.
It's a particularly great fit for:
- Families looking for beach access
- Large groups traveling together
- Friends' getaways with plenty of space to gather
- Beach lovers who want Lake Michigan close by
- Guests who appreciate a quieter neighborhood setting
- Groups who want to stay near one another with three Anchor Point homes in the same neighborhood
And with three different homes to choose from, you can pick the one that fits your group's style—whether that's panoramic lake views and a fire pit, family-friendly amenities and a hot tub, or a modern retreat with pickleball and a heated pool.
Make Miami Park Your South Haven Home Base
There's something special about having the lake as part of your everyday vacation routine.
Wake up and enjoy the view. Head down to the private beach for a morning walk or swim. Spend the afternoon exploring South Haven. Then come home, fire up the grill, soak in the hot tub, play a game, or gather around the fire pit.
And when you want a Lake Michigan sunset? The beach is waiting just down the bluff.
