Great Getaway
Had a wonderful time. Location was great, the deck was great to get to listen to music from the neighboring bar, the space itself was just as advertised, the property manager was extremely helpful for the couple issues we had with small things. Definitely would recommend others to stay here!

Perfect condo for weekend getaway
Great location between downtown, the north side beaches, park, and the harbor. Nice condo with big windows and updated finishes. The patio with a view of the harbor is spectacular. Perfect for morning coffe or drinks in the evening. We definitely are going to try to book this property again.

South Haven Love
We stayed at this property in June. We loved the location and view. It’s not super quiet in the evening as Captain Lou’s and the drawbridge are close, but that’s part of what we loved. You feel part of the action even if you’re not there. I’d recommend this property and would be eager to return.

the description says it is equipped with a washer and dryer. it does not have one.
Over all it was not bad. The unit has some nice upgrades. The futon that serves as a couch needs to be thrown into a dumpster. Very thin, hard and sagged a couple of inches in the middle. maybe a hide -a-bed would have been better. Also was not very clean .The whole condo was not very clean. the toilet was not flushed ,lots of hair etc .around the floor etc.

Short little getaway
We wanted something that was walking distance to downtown and the lake. This property gave both. We were able to walk to different parts of the lake from this property and easy walking to the main downtown/ Martine Museum. There is a full kitchen with most supplies. The layout of the place was nice as well. The bridge that goes over the Black River is right outside and it didn’t affect our sleeping. I even brought ear plugs just incase and never used them. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. We want to come back during the summer.

Room #8 by the draw bridge!
The property was nice, but room #8 could use some updated windows. We could hear everything and everybody that came pass the property. Not to mention the draw bridge bells as the fishing boats head out at the crack of dawn. Only other words of advice to management would be make sure there is toiletries, and plenty of wash clothes/towels for guests staying more than one night. This is not to bad review, we enjoyed our stay. These are just a couple of things that could have made it better!

Adorable place but NOISY location
The place is compact but has everything you need. Really nicely decorated. Has a great view of the river and centrally located so you walk to everything. But the condo building is old and the windows might as well just be screens as you hear all the noise of the bridge, the boats and the people. The second to last night there was an event outside near Capn Lou’s and it was loud, thumping music until 2am! We called the non emergency line and was told they were within legal noise range but we could feel the base in our unit! Also we never had a working TV. We communicated with the manager about it- she was sweet but in the 3 days we were there, they never got the TV to work. My husband was not happy as it was the start of college football. I want to like this place but for the noise and lack of TV, we won’t be back.

Charming Condo; Noise Level was Horrible
We loved the condo! The interior was beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfy. The location was great as we did not have to drive anywhere. There were several negatives, however. We arrived late at night. There was no clear, visible signage directing us to the main entrance. When we accessed the condo there was supposed to be parking passes in the room. The parking passes were not there. Luckily, there was ample street parking. Lastly, the windows in the unit are horrible! We actually thought the windows were open because the noise from the street, the draw bridge whistles, from people talking below, was so loud and clear. We slept horribly Friday night. A fan in the unit might have helped to drown out the noise.

The room is very nice and decorated so cute. It has all the necessary amenities including a full kitchen. The only complaint, the glass sliding doors to the closet do not work well at all. Other than that, you can’t beat the location or the beautiful views down the river.
