About this property

A Harbor View | Close to North Beach, Screened Porch, Near Park, Pet Friendly

Featured Amenities:

Pet-friendly.
1 Block Away from the famous North Beach.
Across the street from the family-friendly Stanley Johnston Park.
10-minute walk to downtown and the countless local shops and cuisines.
Moments away from the South Haven Maritime Museum.
Screened-in front porch.

The cottage charm of Harbor View can be felt the moment you pull into the driveway and is accented by the mat at the door that says, “Yay! You’re here!”  This delightful home is in a unique place as it is within walking distance of all of the best things in South Haven, yet located a quiet, one-way street. This is a pet friendly home; however, pets should be crate trained and kept in their crate while you enjoy your days and evenings out and about. 

The original woodwork and flooring are beautifully preserved, blending seamlessly with the more modern, beachy interior. Old summer cottage meets new features throughout this home. There is plenty of seating for the whole family in both of its living spaces, as well as in the breakfast nook. The kitchen offfers updated appliances, plenty of counter space, and a nautical flair. The dining table seats up to 10 people comfortably. There is one main level powder room with a convenient washer/dryer.The 2nd floor of the cottage offers 4 bedrooms, and one shared full bathroom. The primary bedroom features a small porch overlooking beautiful Stanley Johnston park, and South Haven's Harbor. And we know you will love the gated English Gardens and the front screened in porch with a view of the park!

A Harbor View is across the street from one of South Haven's most beautiful places, Stanley Johnston Park (Stanley Johnston = the creator of the Haven line of peaches). The park is large, shaded by old growth trees and offers basketball courts, playgrounds and an awesome harbor view. It is home to 2 of our largest regional 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, and the downtown is a 10 minute walk, across our iconic drawbridge.  Delicious treats and good coffee can also be found with just 1/2 a block away at one of the local favorites: Bunde’s Bakery and Cafe. The Maritime Museum, home to our Tall Ship, The Friends Good Will, is just on the other side of the park!

This home couldn't be more perfectly situated for getting to know all of the best parts of South Haven.

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.

Perfect Getaway Location, Close to Everything!
We had such an enjoyable time staying in this charming and roomy home! The beach, marina and town wete just a short walk. There is a lovely park across the street. The neighborhood is quiet. We loved the huge front porch with tbe white whicker swing. The kitchen has everything you'll need.
