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.

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.

We had a lovely stay at this condo! It was sparkling clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The gifted bottle of wine and snacks were lovely and greatly appreciated! Our only hiccup is that the wi-fi was not cooperating so no TVs would work. Our cell phones and tablets connected one day and then not the following again. Hosts were very communicative about the issues but it was not fully resolved before our weekend was over. I’m sure this was an isolated incident and do recommend staying at this great property!!

Great location to both beaches/lighthouses and walking distance to downtown SH. The condo was tastefully decorated with a lake theme. Beds were very comfortable! Nice furniture and kitchen area had ample seating around the bar and table for the four of us. We will definitely book again. Stephanie provided info for condo and surrounding cities. Only hiccup was the condo door keypad didn’t work (likely low battery),but access to keys so no issue. Parking was very close to the building. Thanks for the nice stay!

Great location and nice open living/dining/kitchen area. Kitchen was generously provisioned and host was very responsive. Only a couple of less than ideal issues: the property lists 3 queen beds to sleep 6, but the beds are full size not measuring as the standard queen, making sleeping 6 people uncomfortable; the living room furniture is stylish and matches the seafaring decor, but not at all comfortable and insufficient for 6 people to sit or lounge. I still highly recommend for groups of 2-4 as you can walk to nearly everything and sitting on the shared deck and watching the boats in the harbor is lovely. The boat bunk was a real hit with the kids for lounging.

Excellent location

The property was very nice and in an excellent location. The Property Manager was very responsive through the process. We also really enjoyed the deck to watch the boats come and go. One item that should be addressed is the charcoal grill which was mentioned in the location description. The one that was available is very tiny and should be upgraded for sure.

Awesome place

Place was modern and clean. Close walking distance to nearly everything youd want. The only thing that could have been improved was to add black out curtains in the bedrooms. You are downtown and close to everything. We would stay here again.

Our Get Away was a Great Away!

We used this wonderful condo as basecamp while we explored South Haven, and attended Thlip Time in Holland. The condo was spacious, and decorated beautifully with a marina/water theme. The owner has invested in this condo and you can see and feel it. I would certainly stay here again. Thank you for the welcome gifts!

Beautiful Home in Perfect Location

Stephanie communicated early and often, providing as much info as needed. She gave recommendations and proactively offered and early check in since nobody was staying the day before. The home was well kept, had all necessities, and very clean. The location is perfect, a few blocks away from downtown, short walks to both North and South Beach, along with other hotspots.

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.
