Respite & Health Retreats
for parents and caregivers
Sand Castle Inn
VRBO Partner
South Haven, MI
Formerly the Sand Castle Inn, this property is now only available as a whole house rental. This works well for our caregivers because they have full access to the entire house, including the kitchen and pool!
The Sand Castle Inn is conveniently located just one block from the shores of Lake Michigan, and hosts retreats for moms, couples, and Mommy & Me/My Buddy throughout the year! 7 individual guest suites, each with a private bath, make this an amazing respite venue.
This venue hosts moms/women, #MothersDayAway, My Buddy, Mommy & Me, and Couples! As a #HomeAwayFromHome level Porch Partner, the Sand Castle hosts 8+ three-night wellness retreats for AMR caregivers annually.
This property is available for private group requests, as well as single family vacations. PLEASE INQUIRE!
