Quaint and beautiful getaway
The property was beautiful, the condo is the perfect size for a small family or couple. Has all the necessities and comfort of a home. There is an incredible indoor pool and hot tub, a large outdoor pool (that was a bit cold) and the 5th street beach and concession is a short walk or car ride away! The view of your back deck looks out at the harbor, the kids loved looking for fish every morning and the playground is a 3 min walk around the harbor. If you have kids sleeping on the pull-out sofa, plan to bring a foam cushion if you can.

Location location location
We loved the location. It’s a short walk to a beautiful beach and beautiful pier. It’s also just a couple minute drive to downtown. It was our first stay in Manistee and we would definitely come back to the same area. It was such a nice surprise. We also love the fireplace. The outside lanai was very cute and lovely to have coffee or tea in the morning. I’m not sure that the bed was a queen as advertised. I think it was a full-size. We have stayed at so many rentals and I just felt like this one was lacking some TLC. I understand a property management company runs it instead of a person and that’s could be why it’s missing that kind of personal touch. Some examples are the WiFi is terrible, and there are no instructions for the tv, No racks for luggage, no Kleenex, dirty sponges (no clean sponges for the dishes). There’s a bunch of clocks, but none of them are set correctly. And the batteries are dead in them. Again, these are all small things. We would definitely stay again. I just wanted to provide some suggestions.

Amazing location
Great stay for our Michigan adventure - We ventured up to Leland (Fishtown), Frankfort, Arcadia and down to Ludington & Muskegon. We went to Traverse City for a day trip. We also hit Grand Haven, Holland and Saugatuk. Home base in Manistee was perfect. We enjoyed the downtown and the beautiful beach & sunsets. We will be back! Thank YOU!

Beautiful location. Lovely little condo. The trash was still in the can when we got there and the freezer had some residue on it which I was able to wipe out, but otherwise clean. Pillows all need to be replaced. They are worn out and smell a little. It would be helpful to put some sheer covering over the top windows in the main room for those who sleep on the pull out bed. We enjoyed our stay.

This condo was the perfect space for our son, his wife and their infant. It was clean and comfortable with a spectacular view. This is the second time we have rented it and will absolutely do so in the future as well.

Couldn't get any better for location and services. Two downfalls. We were looking forward to the indoor pool, which had to close for a maintenance issue. The stove did not function, burners would shut off while trying to cook, and the oven was too small to cook in.

Mini Fall Vacation
Condo was nicely decorated, clean and comfortable and well stocked with towels and had everything you needed in the kitchen. The amenities of the pool and spa was extra nice since it was off season and we basically had the place to our selves. Most likely due to the time of the year but the outside entrance and deck could use some cleaning attention. Overall our stay was wonderful and will plan on returning to the area as it was beautiful.

Cozy, cute, quiet, clean place in a great location! Book through broker to avoid fees!
This property was great but the fees we incurred by booking through VRBO really put a damper on our stay. Once I booked on VRBO it became apparent that I could book for cheaper going directly to the broker. c21boardwalkrentals dot com
