Our favorite feature of A Harbor View? The enchanting outdoor spaces this home offers! We know you will fall in love with the gated English Gardens, a lush, tranquil haven where you can relax amidst blooming flowers and greenery.

The front screened-in porch is equally enchanting, which offers a charming view of the nearby park.

This inviting haven is perfect for summer cookouts, where the aroma of grilling fills the air as you enjoy alfresco dining with family and friends. As the sun sets, gather around the firepit for evenings of warmth and camaraderie, sharing stories and laughter under a starlit sky. 

A Harbor View is situated across the street from one of South Haven's most picturesque spots, Stanley Johnston Park, named after the creator of the Haven line of peaches. This expansive park is shaded by majestic old-growth trees and features basketball courts, playgrounds, and an incredible harbor view. It also hosts two of the region's largest craft fairs: the South Haven Art Fair on Fourth of July weekend and the National Blueberry Festival Craft Fair in mid-August.

South Haven’s famous North Beach is just a short 5-minute walk from Harbor View, while the downtown area is a 10-minute stroll across our iconic drawbridge. Delicious treats and great coffee await just half a block away at a local favorite, Bunde’s Bakery and Cafe.

Very nice vintage home

Really enjoyed staying at this property, vintage cottage with modern amenities. Location was great, quiet one way street across from Stanley Johnston Park. North Beach and downtown South Haven were easily walkable. Plenty of rooms, nice beds and linens, loved the three season porch out front, would definitely stay here again.

This was a beautiful large home in an excellent spot overlooking the harbor. It was a short walk to our favorite coffee shop and to town as well. The house was very clean, furniture was comfortable and we felt at home there.

Nice short stay

The house was a good size and overall clean in the inside and in a great location. The outside patio furniture was dirty and the though the fenced in yard was great for our dogs, the yard was a bit unkept and very overgrown. The backyard neighbors are very close and we could hear them because they kept their doors open the entire time. It was a bit off putting when we could hear personal things.

Lovely Long Weekend

We had a great time at Harbour View. The location is hard to beat - near the beach, bike rentals, a store with ice cream, close to downtown. The kids biked everywhere. The house was just as described and fit our family and a couple of the kids’ friends perfectly.
