Local Adventures & Day Trips

Groceries and essentials are just 5 minutes away, or have them delivered for convenience.

Craft beer lovers will enjoy tastings at South Haven’s breweries and others within a 45-minute drive. Several Michigan State Parks are also perfect for day trips.



Ideal for Wedding Prep & Photos

Planning a wedding in South Haven? Blue View Victorian is a charming and convenient place to get ready, take photos, and relax before the big day. Close to beaches and churches, it’s a favorite for bridal parties.



Thoughtful Renovations & Amenities

Beach-Ready Convenience

Before heading to South Beach, grab beach toys and the sand-friendly beach cart from the garage. Choose your route—Erie Street for a stair-free walk or Water Street for a scenic stairway. Kayaks and paddleboards are available for rent at the beach, and kids will love the splash pad at South Beach, opened in 2020.

The rear deck and patio are perfect for evening barbecues and family gatherings. Prefer dining out? Walk just 1.5 blocks to downtown restaurants.



Evenings to Remember

After dinner, take a short walk to Water Street and enjoy a sunset stroll along the River Walk. Watch the sun dip below Lake Michigan, then return home for s’mores around the fire pit.

At the end of the day, retreat to one of four cozy bedrooms for a peaceful night’s sleep. Whether you’re seeking solitude or shared fun, Blue View Victorian offers the perfect South Haven vacation experience.

Victorian review

The house was nice. Decent location, though much closer to downtown than the beach. It was a quiet neighborhood, and we appreciated the toys and books for the kids on our trip. The main negatives would be that the upstairs got pretty hot at night, even when we adjusted the thermostat. Also, there weren’t many hand towels for the kitchen. That would have been nice to have a few more as we cooked a lot at the house. Otherwise very good.

Location. Location. Location.

This house was in a great location. Just a short walk to the beach and all the uptown stores. Very well, equipped kitchen. Beds were comfortable and could sleep 12 people easily. There were two nice bathrooms upstairs. One with a tub/shower and one with a walk in shower. Several rooms had TVs with streaming service capability and one had a DVR. Would definitely consider staying here again on a future trip to South Haven.

South Haven was a perfect place for our senior, yet active, group of ladies to vacation.

The house is charming and very well kept. Kitchen was very well stocked, and the dining room and porch allowed for plenty of space to eat. A highlight for us was the back yard - a “compact “ space with plenty of furniture to accommodate our group of 8 ladies as we gathered around the amazing fire pit each night. Grill was great too!

We had 7 adults stay here, but had plenty of room for 5 more. The house was awesome. We couldn't have asked for anything better. We had lots of room to hang out.. from inside, front porch, back porch to outside seating area with firepit. We walked everywhere we needed/wanted to go. Beach, coffee shops, shopping, restaurants and bars. It was a perfect quick vacay for our family. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Great location!

Overall we enjoyed the house! Location is perfect, close to downtown and south beach. We rented bikes in town and biked downtown a lot. The neighborhood was very nice! The house was stocked pretty well and had extras. Lots of sitting spaces, inside and outside! The only complaint I had was the cleaners could have vacuumed better and we did wash the bathroom rugs. They needed cleaned. Everything else was very good!

The Best

This property and location were absolutely amazing. We rarely used our vehicles.....we were able to walk to Phoenix Street and the beach very easily. Loved all the seating areas both inside and out. There wasn't a day we spent at the beach that someone did not comment on the beach wagon the owners had available for use. Anna was so very responsive in any inquiries I made. We enjoyed the charm of SoHa......the shops, Wednesday farmers' market and the Thursday night riverside concert. Our evenings were often spent relaxing and chatting on the front porch after the little ones went to bed. I think our family would love a repeat of this vacation....both the town and your home.

Lovely home, great location

Beautiful and welcoming home with great details and everything you need. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but well equipped with everything in working order. A lot of options for seating for larger groups, including the lovely table on the deck. Patio with fire pit was great - we used it every night. I loved sitting on the front porch in the morning. The location is excellent - short walk to the beach, town, and Kids' Corner park. Great bedroom for kids and master bed was super comfortable! Definitely would recommend.

Lovely home, Location and Town!

We were a group of 2 families with adult children and teenagers (8 Total people) and there was plenty of room for us. We loved the big front porch and ate most of our meals on the back deck with a big table and umbrella. As others have said, the house is well stocked with all of the comforts of home. This home is on a quiet dead-end street, but it is an easy walk to town, the river, the beach, bakeries, etc. We had one small problem and the owner responded quickly. Highly recommend this property for a relaxing vacation!
