HARBOR HAVEN is not just a rental property. It is our very much loved
home away from home.
Newly constructed in 2006, HARBOR HAVEN is beautifully decorated with an open, airy, beachy, Nantucket décor throughout. Our HARBOR HAVEN is strategically located between two ocean front houses at the end of quiet cul-de-sac. The house is positioned so as to enjoy the breathtaking view from the large end deck and two porches. The reversed living plan allows spectacular views from the upstairs living room, kitchen and master bedroom with bath. Downstairs has another master bedroom and bath with a Jacuzzi-whirlpool tub and shower. Both master bedrooms have king-size beds. The third bedroom is a children’s room with a double/single bunk bed and trundle that can sleep four. It also has a queen bed to sleep an additional two. Downstairs also has a large laundry room. All of the bedrooms have private bathrooms. The living room has a queen-size sleeper sofa and a fireplace. The living room and all of the bedrooms are equipped with new smart TV’s . We also offer high speed Internet access. All house-trained pets are welcome. For you animal lovers, the best part is the white picket fence around the back yard. From the back door take six to eight steps and you are on the boardwalk to the beach which is about 40 yards away. Enjoy an outdoor shower at the back door as you come back from the beach. Beach chairs, sand toys, playpen, high chair, games, puzzles and movies to watch are provided for your convenience. You will have access to two shared pools. The Beach and Racquet club across the street where you can enjoy the large pool and baby pool. Other amenities include tennis, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, putting, playground, fitness room, gift shop, ice cream and sandwich shop. The other smaller pool is in the same cul-de-sac. Our island is gated for your privacy and security. All linens and towels are provided. Central Air Conditioning and ceiling fans are in every room. Spend your relaxing days enjoying two and a half miles of private, uncrowded, pristine beaches and all of the Islands natural beauty. Spend your nights relaxing on your deck overlooking the ocean and enjoy the cool ocean breezes. We hope that you enjoy HARBOR HAVEN as much as we do.

Fantastic

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home exceeded our expectations. Kitchen very well stocked. Location and view was excellent. We enjoyed watching the dolphin swim by. The area was peaceful and relaxing. Only problem we had was flat tire on golf cart. Called Tonya and it was taken care of immediately.

Spectacular ocean view!

The view from the living room window is beautiful, Harbor Island is such a wonderful mix of nature and comfortable living. Harbor Haven is obviously a well loved and well used property that has been enjoyed by many. A bit of deep cleaning and a few repairs are in order as well as some fresh towels and linens would go a long way. Overall we love the area, the views, and the proximity to the beach can’t be beat.

Great Time

Our family has been vacationing at Harbor Island for 16 years. We usually stay in one of the condos. We declined to rent a house this time as our children are getting older and wanted to bring friends. This house was definitely the way the to go! It had plenty of room and really close to the beach and pools. We will be back!

So good we'll do it again!

This was our sixth year vacationing on Harbor Island, and our second year at Harbor Haven, and we are already planning to return to the Island and the house next year. It's a perfect location close to the beach, pool and fitness room. The house also worked perfectly for our family--comfortable for three families (two with small children) and our dog. The owner quickly responded when we had any questions and is a gracious hostess--the house is well appointed and had all we needed. We had a great time and are looking forward to next year!

Wonderful Harbor Island House

Beautiful view of the ocean from the large living room/kitchen- I absolutely loved that whole room. Super comfy beds. Huge whirlpool bathtub. Short walk to beach on boardwalk. Lovely walks around the quaint little island. Shrimp Burgers from Shrimp Shack. Dolphins near sunset. A great host in Tonya. What a great place and a great week, made perfect by being able to have my beloved dogs with me.

VRBO 2025 HARBOR ISLAND

We loved the area. We tried to abide by all rules even though others did not, re: dogs not on leashes, walking in private areas, not turning lights out at night, parties next door, acussing our kids of misbehavior- when our 3 were in bed. The area must have been all private owened residents. We must have been the only vrbo house. Also, house was nice but ammenities need updated. Coffee pot broken, floors were rough/pealing. Something was weird with the washer-we did not use pods, notes were everywhere, ceiling fans didn't work upstairs. Outdoor furniture cushions were ripped, worn out, smelled. Then an item was damaged that we knew nothing about and was notified 2 hours after we left about it. It's a nice place and I am sure they love it, but we wouldn't stay there again.

Wonderful Vacation at Harbor Island

This was our first time to the area. We'd love every minute of it. The house was perfect for our family and our fur babies. Loved taking our dogs for walks on the beach. Both the pool and the beach are within short walking distance. The golf cart was also a nice perk to get out and discover the rest of the island. My husband and son loved fishing off the beach. My daughter and I had the opportunity to see a couple of sea turtles make their way to the sea for the very first time. Never seen so many birds in one area. It was just incredible. We plan to be back!

House was exactly as described. Loved that it felt like a home and not a sterile rental. Thrilled to have been able to bring our dog as well. Close to the beach and adorable neighborhood with lots of friendly full-time residents. Tonya was easy to communicate with from start to finish.

Great Trip Post Storm

Very clean and beautiful home steps from the beach and pool. Trip was delayed by a day following Hurricane Helene. No damage to the property but the travel down was delayed due to conditions of the roads further inland. Tonya and her family received substantial damages in Augustabut was still responsive despite cell outages in her area. Great host and great trip.

Awesome property very close to the beach

When listings say “minutes from the beach” I am usually leery. But this was truly backyard adjacent to the walkway to the beach. Also, having a fenced in back yard for dog was awesome. Great reverse floor plan had everything we needed. Property owner was responsive to all questions Minor maintenance issues beyond anyone’s control were dealt with immediately. Would definitely stay here again. Has a great ocean view from the main living area also. Did not think a golf cart would matter but ended up being a great feature for us to explore.
