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.
