Great adorable apartment
Cute, adorable apartment right on the Mississippi River. Apartment came fully equipped, from garbage bags and paper towels to a fully stocked kitchen. The apartment was roomy, super clean and very comfortable to stay in. I was working in the area with 3 other people and we all comfortably shared the apartment for a month. All of us loved the apartment and were happy with the accommodations. The owner was very accommodating and easy to get ahold of, whenever we called with questions he answered right away. Our friends rented the apartment next door and they had a great experience also. None of us have anything negative to say, only great positive things

Great Place
The Riverboat Paradise suite was a perfect meeting spot for my sisters and I. It had all the needed amenities, but the real selling point was the beautiful view! Noise from the business downstairs does come through the floors, but with the provided white noise machines, it didn't bother us. Overall, we would stay there again and recommend it to others.

Lovely place on the Mississippi River!
We came here for a funeral and the place was perfect! We recommend it to others!
It was a beautifully decorated condo! My bad for reading it was "upstairs" but not asking questions. My husband & I are in our mid-seventies & when we opened the door to go upstairs we saw it was REALLY upstairs. 20 steep steps to the door of the condo that were quite daunting to carry our luggage up. I have had 2 knee replacements & can do stairs but these were difficult. We also both have cpap machines & there was only one bedside table & lamp & had we not brought extension cords we would have had trouble getting plugged in.
We loved being able to walk around the town to dinner and drinks and then dessert!
There were millions (literally!!) of no-see-ums (small biting bugs) outside on our deck at night & we weren't able to sit out & enjoy it. I think all previous renters of this lovely condo were YOUNG!!! We would not rent it again, as lovely as the town is & the condo itself because of accessibility.

So cute!
Loved this place so much! A friend and I did a girls weekend. I love the vibe with bar below and all the people hanging outside when we were on the deck having some cocktails. The view of the river off the deck was beautiful and relaxing. I love that both bedrooms had their own tvs and ceiling fans. I also appreciated the noise machines. It was a nice touch you don’t normally see. The only thing we were missing was a full length mirror.

Relaxing
Very much needed relaxing weekend away. Location was great, right on the water and within walking distance of food/bar/gas station. Even a walking, running, bike path right by.
Great space in which we were able to cook, watch TV, sleep in and have coffee on the porch.
Would definitely stay again.

Just a Really Nice Place To Stay
Super cool, super clean, great location in a super cute area!
We had a GREAT time on our relaxing weekend getaway.
Being right on the riverfront with a great view through the front windows was pretty great.
The bar/coffee house downstairs was fun. :)
We're pickleball players, and there were a number of great options nearby. We went to Riverside Park and it was a really nice place to play. Great weather that day too!
There were great food options nearby as well.
I was super impressed with how clean the place was.
It was just a REALLY nice stay and we'd recommend this place to anyone wanting a nice weekend getaway.
A+++ for the Ebay folks. :)

This suite was perfect for our relaxing getaway weekend. From the views of the Mississippi River to the all the amenities the suite has to offer, it was one of the most comfortable stays we've experienced. We thoroughly enjoyed touring the shops in LeClaire and experiencing all the food and beverage choices of the many spots in Port Byron.

Amazing views, beautifully decorated and immaculate condo!
We loved our stay in this beautifully decorated, fully equipped, immaculate condo with amazing views. The only drawback was the noice from the lounge downstairs, which fortunately ended at 10pm, and from the occasional train across the river. The white noise machines in the bedrooms helped a lot. We will definitely stay again!
