The Black Pearl: industrial condo sleeps 6, full size kitchen & scenic views!

The Black Pearl receives its name from being located right on the Black River leading out to beautiful Lake Michigan along with the fun industrial and lake vibe. The Black Pearl is located within the Colonial Condominiums. The Colonial Condominiums were originally built in the early 1900's as a hotel. It offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience in beautiful South Haven. Located within walking distance to the pristine beaches of Lake Michigan, the Colonial Condominiums are centrally located for easy access to local restaurants, shopping and outdoor recreation.

The Black Pearl includes:
-Flat screen tv
-Wireless Internet provided by the association
-Coin operated laundry in basement
-Nearby off-site parking for 3 vehicles
-Weekly rentals

The condo was remodeled and combines both unit 10 & 11. The entrance into the unit is through unit 10. The Black Pearl features:

-2 bedrooms
-2 full bathrooms
-High ceilings
-3 queen-sized beds
-Full kitchen
-Communal large deck on the Black River and overlooking Lake Michigan
*all condos, buildings and decks are non-smoking

Please note that due to the Black Pearl being located in downtown, Summer evenings and some weekends in the Spring and Fall can get a bit noisy.

What a FABULOUS Property
Black pearls and rare and beautiful and that is the perfect name for this place...because it is a rare find and so beautiful! This property was amazing! Every aspect of this property was everything you could expect for a rental property! Loved having the bedrooms separated at each end of the condo to give privacy. Bedrooms/Bathrooms were set up like a top tier hotel! It had every imaginable supply you could think that you could need during your stay plus so much more. Kitchen was wonderful and so functional! We could not think of anything that we were missing or need when we were there! And it was for us a perfect location. (Far enough away from the bakery that we did not indulge too much!) I am already looking at booking it for another week next year! If I could give this place a 15 out of 10 I would.

Wish we could have stayed longer!
The Black Pearl was exactly as advertised. Excellent communication from the property owner. The property was comfortable, spacious and spotless and very welcoming. Lovely welcome note and goodie bag when we arrived. Location could not be better - just a 5-minute walk to downtown and easy access to the Harbor Walk, which we took out to see the lighthouse (about 15-minute walk). We were only in town for one night, and we truly wished we could stay longer.

Fabulous place to stay in South Haven!
This was an A+ VRBO experience in every way. A gift bag to welcome us was a very nice touch. Very clean, comfortable and looked just like the pictures that are posted. I would highly recommend it!

Perfect location- updated and lovely condo
The location is excellent and though the property is a historic building the condo was tastefully updated and beautifully maintained. I'd stay here again and again. The owner/manager was a wonderful communicator and her attention to detail was greatly appreciated. The thoughtful gift and welcoming message was just a lovely touch.

Great family property with good location
My husband and I stayed with his brother's wife and almost 3 year old. The flat was perfect for two couples. The location was easy to walk to the shops, bars, and lake. Great communication with the property owner. Everything was clean and the beds were sturdy and comfortable. I would absolutely stay there again. My one note is that if a parking pass is needed, it should be provided. It wasn't an issue for our off-season visit.

Amazing Location!
We had a fabulous time in South Haven and staying at the Black Pearl. Everything was perfect. The condo is set up with bedrooms/ bathrooms at opposite ends which allowed for extra privacy (traveled with another couple). Kitchen and sitting area is nice. Everything was so clean. The heated bathroom floor was a nice surprise! Stephanie was responsive and eady to deal with. We can't wait to come back.

Cute rental, convenient location
This place is very nice to stay at, had everything we needed. The deck is very nice to sit and relax, watching the boats, and the drawbridge. It’s within walking distance to all the stores/restaurants and maybe a 10 min drive from the beach. Getting in was so easy and the host was very quick at answering when we had a question. Highly recommend staying here.

Looks just like information on VRBO’s sight
Had very enjoyable week. Rough start weather wise but before mid week turned gorgeous. Was a little disappointed on the information on the grill. Once we found it and the location of it made us a little skeptical about using it. Other than that we could not have had a better time. The owner Stephanie was great getting all our questions answered and not only that she was willing to go above and beyond the call of duty by offering to bring some items we left behind at check out to her home town so we could pick it up there instead of driving back to South Haven. A+ on rating

Summer Family Vacation
Location! Location! Location! The condo was wonderful! It is in the center of everything. Walking distance to the restaurants and beaches. The kitchen and main room were great for hanging out with the family. Beds were comfortable. The condo parking lot passes were great as we didn't have to worry about finding a parking spot, which can be huge headache in the summer. Stephanie (host) was wonderful to deal with and she answered all my questions. I would highly recommend this place. I am looking forward to our next visit to South Haven as I definitely be staying at this place again.

Amazing spot on the harbor!
The Black Pearl is as beautiful in person as the photos! The interior design is wonderfully done & the beds are super comfy! The boat is an actual twin bed which my 6 year old daughter thought was the best part! Kitchen is fully stocked with all the cookware you would need. Beach towels were supplied in both bedroom closets which was a nice touch. Overall, highly recommend! We typically rent bikes but were so close to everything we walked. It was a trip we’ll never forget!
