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.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
Native plantings, wonderful location, easy communication and dog friendly dynamic were all strong plusses for us. A few suggestions would be: check availability and cleanliness of extra blankets in each room and fix broken lamps and fans. Overall this was an excellent place to stay that we would visit again...thanks so much!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
The house was clean and had all the necessities! The only thing that was missing was another shower. The porch is a wonderful place to play games, drink coffee and just hangout on. I wish it was a little cleaner. The location is super close to town and we only had a short walk to the beach. There was plenty of places to sit relax inside and eat at the dinner table. We used the grill a few times and it was great to have. Over all a great place to stay for the week.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
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.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2024
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.
