Another Beautiful Weekend In Grand Haven

We have stayed in this property for the second time in as many years. We love the location and the layout. It's perfect for families with the three bedrooms and several more spots for sleeping. Two full baths on the floors with bedrooms, and the half bath on the third floor are very convenient, as well as the two full kitchens and laundry rooms. Parking is adjacent to the building and safe; with marked spaces and simple parking passes included. Entry to the building is secure with an issued key fob required for access. This unit is equipped with a digital lock keypad which is super convenient for those of us who have misplaced keys... The location is what is best about this property - a beautiful view of the river, harbor and lake; walking distance to everything - even the state park beach and light house, shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. There is a very nice playground near the YMCA facility that is well cushioned and has lots of up to date equipment - also an easy 5-10 minute walk along the river. Speaking of walks along the river... This location is as close to the river as you can get and overlooks it and the harbor. It's one or two minutes to the river and the wide walkway that borders it. From this property, you can view the colorful waterworks show on Friday and Saturday nights, choreographed to music. The audio/ lasts for 30 minutes or so and is an awesome sight! Enjoy!

Right There Downtown

We enjoyed our downtown penthouse. The view from the upper balcony was fantastic. The condo was well appointed and clean. The location was right in the heart of Grand Haven, with easy walking to the pier, restaurants, a brewpub and much more. If you have mobility issues, consider the stairs between floors...we are 70 and had no problems, but if you have mobility issues, you may want to consider. Certainly the first floor has a very nice bedroom and bath, but to get to the other bedrooms. it is a bit of stairs. Very sturdy.

Great place and location

This was a great place to stay with plenty of room for 6 adults and 1 infant. The beds were comfortable and having 2 &1/2 baths was very convenient. 2 kitchens was also good for the people on the 1st floor to have snacks at night. The location was ideal for walking to all the downtown restaurants and the top floor balcony gave a beautiful view around the city, up to the YMCA sand dune hill and the nightly musical fountain show.

Awesome property

This property is wonderful due to its characteristic design. All three floors had their unique flavor that make staying there a wonderful experience. Blake was a awesome host that directed us where we needed to go. All of us also enjoyed the walk way just outside of our door that took us over to Portabellos that kept us warm and dry for dinner, very nice.

Loved this Penthouse

This was our first visit to Grand Haven, and the penthouse made our stay very enjoyable. Blake responded to my questions before, during, and after our stay. The location of this penthouse is fantastic for anything you would want to do in downtown GH. We had seven people, and the multiple bedrooms and the three-floor layout were perfect for the entire family. We used the 3rd-floor dining room to play games and enjoy the beautiful view. Here are some issues I have read about in these reviews and my personal experience(September 2023) The stairs: Yes, there are a lot of stairs. My husband and I used the main level, which has a queen bedroom that is private and also a full bathroom along with a kitchenette. Our kids used the 2nd and 3rd floors. If you don't want to use the stairs, you will not miss anything on the main level except the view off the 3rd-floor balcony. Carpets: I did not think the carpets looked dirty. I saw a stain on the 3rd floor, but that was it. Cleanliness: The bathrooms and kitchens were very clean. The cleaning service should pay closer attention to dusting, as I saw a few places that were not well dusted. We had an issue with the overhead lights on the main floor. I addressed it with the owner, who was aware of the issue and sent over lamps. That would be my only complaint about the whole unit.. the main floor was dark without those overhead lights working. The other floors were very bright. Would book this VRBO again!

Another perfect stay

There is a reason we have stayed here many times. The location is perfect. We did have a minor problem with parking passes, but Blake is always easy to get in touch with. And it was taken care of quickly. We never used the cars, because everything you need is very walkable. We hope to be back soon

Amazing Place

We travel to Michigan every fall for a long weekend getaway with our son and daughter-in-law, and now grandson (7 months). We choose a different destination within the state each year. We have always enjoyed our stay wherever we've been, but this year was particularly exceptional. Grand Haven is a beautiful town in a gorgeous setting. Our rental was positioned to take advantage of every aspect of both. We were very impressed with the unit. While there are a few things that need to be repaired or replaced, overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to others looking for a wonderful stay in Grand Haven!

Great location

Good view (including the lighted fountain show) and easy walking access to many places. Short drive to others. The condo building was well maintained. Inside needed dusting, and there was sand on one of the couches. Carpet shows spills all over. Bring your own K-cups or ground coffee. The condo has 3 levels, and getting to the second level involves an extra long staircase. Third level is a very nice place to gather for eating, socializing, and relaxing.

August in Michigan

August on Lake Michigan was beautiful. The property is a great location within walking distance of all Grand Haven has to offer. As mentioned in other reviews, the property needs a deep cleaning...carpets, kitchen floors, cabinets. It was "clean enough", but sticking to the kitchen floor isn't a good thing. The furnishings could use some updating. The counter stools were shaky, the couches were worn. The Kuerig did not work. The bedding was adequate, although some of the group felt the matteresses had seen better days. Many of the towels were "tired". Lights (overhead) were burned out. Thank you for sharing this property as a rental. Hopefully you will be able to address some of the maintenance issues during the "off season".

Excellent location!

Our family of 10 enjoyed our stay in July. Having 3 levels gave everyone their space to relax after a busy day exploring. Location is perfect! We watched musical fountain from balcony every night. One block over is downtown. Walk 1.5 miles down the boardwalk and your are at the beach. There are shops, ice cream, and restaurants along the way. We will definitely be back! Thank you Blake for a wonderful experience.

Excellent location

The condo’s location was awesome and the view of the canal and light show couldn’t have been more enjoyable The condo itself was well appointed but a little Mr Erase would have done wonders on the walls. Lots of scuff marks. We were very happy with our stay over all Other than bath soap everything was provided

Harborview penthouse

Property was in an excellent location with a great view. Beds were comfortable and condo was clean but showing cosmetic wear and tear (carpet stains, in need of touch up paint). Some light switches could use to be replaced and quite a few lights were out. I messaged the owner who stated he would stop out and take a look, but never did as far as we know. Also the gas grill was out of propane. Still it did not hinder the enjoyment of our vacation.There are also quite a few steps (42 total) so anyone with knee, ankle or leg issues would be hindered. Plenty of space for our family. We loved the view and the musical fountain is much more enjoyable from the balcony with a drink in your hand. All in all we enjoyed the week and would stay again.

The Williams Family

We were pleased with the cleanliness of the condo. Blake Born, owner, was very prompt and professional with any questions we had. We were extremely impressed by his consideration and thoughtfulness to place items we would need on EACH LEVEL for our enjoyment and convenience. These items included, coffee makers, dish ware, stemware, cookware, linens & towels, patio chairs, and more!! He even provided bonuses of wine toppers, and a popcorn stand on the 3rd level!! Nothing we needed was forgotten!! Only advice, if you’re bringing groceries, or lots of luggage, know you’ll have to use the elevator The views are amazing. The night time water show was breathtaking and can be viewed from the 3rd floor’s balcony.It truly is in the heart of downtown Grand Haven, and an ideal spot to visit the beach and local eateries We loved it so much that we are eager to return next year and the years to come!

Super location/balcony faces fountain-show !

Cannot beat this location and comfy balcony to sit & watch nightly fountain-music show; but there were a few things we noticed: carpet needs a serious cleaning (mainly top floor, but middle floor too); bathroom on middle floor does not lock so several uncomfortable interruptions while on toilet; washer/dryer on middle floor does not work well; overall top floor could use upgrades (rickety bar stools are scarey), pots & pans in top floor kitchen need replacing, top floor bathroom toilet takes long time to refill after flush;
