Our recent stay

This condo is in a perfect location. The place was just as advertised, and my family and I really enjoyed our stay. The unit was very big (almost too big for a family of 4), but was very happy because we all had a lot of space. Will definitely book Colonial Condos again.

South Haven Fun

The location of the property is top notch. We could easily walk to North Beach and take a stroll on both piers. It’s so nice to be so close to downtown and never get in your car again if you don’t want to! The condo was a lovely size for all 6 of us. The balcony to watch the bridge and boats is a great perk. It’s an old building so has the old charm.

Spacious, beautiful master, ground level unit, with a great deck.

Our stay was for the most part wonderful, 2nd bathroom was great. Very spacious unit and love the kitchen, appliances are older but all work well. Master bath needs a mat in the tub to take a shower it becomes very slippery when wet. The 1st shower off the foyer is leaking quite bad on the left and the wood trim.
