The cottage charm of A Harbor View embraces you the moment you pull into the driveway, where a welcoming mat exclaims, "Yay! You’re here!" This delightful home boasts a unique location, within walking distance of all the best attractions in South Haven, yet tucked away on a peaceful, one-way street.

Stepping into A Harbor View, you'll immediately be delighted by the beautifully preserved original woodwork and flooring, which blend seamlessly with the modern, beachy interior to create the ambiance of a true lakehouse cottage. As you make your way through the home, you'll notice that both living spaces are designed for comfort and togetherness, offering ample seating for the entire family.

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. Whether you're enjoying a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine, this garden oasis provides the perfect backdrop for serene moments. 

The front screened-in porch is equally enchanting, which offers a charming view of the nearby park. This cozy porch is an ideal spot for leisurely afternoons, where you can bask in the gentle breeze, listen to the chirping birds, and watch the world go by. These delightful outdoor spaces truly make A Harbor View a place of relaxation and natural beauty.

And don't miss memories to be made out in the backyard, featuring lush greenery and a cozy firepit. 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. Additionally, the Maritime Museum, home to our Tall Ship, The Friends Good Will, is located just on the other side of the park!

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.

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.

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.
