-2 bedrooms
-2 full bathrooms
-High ceilings
-3 queen-sized beds

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.

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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Williamson

Host profile image
Hello and thank you for considering staying at The Black Pearl! We are the Williamsons (Brandon & Stephanie) and grew up right on the boarder of Michigan and Indiana. Growing up, both of our families visited Lake Michigan often so we naturally fell in love with the lake and surrounding beach towns. We are high school sweethearts and tied the knot in 2014. We absolutely love traveling and meeting new people and experiencing other cultures. Both of us are in customer service related roles and strive to provide the best experience. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you might have!

Why they chose this property

We decided to purchase this home as every weekend we would find ourselves in the beach towns and beaches of Lake Michigan. Life can become busy and hectic and for me there is no better way to relax then hearing the waves crash on the shore line and the sand between my toes. This property was previously listed with Vrbo and received excellent reviews and we look to continue offering the same exceptional experience.

What makes this property unique

The Black Pearl is perfectly located within a short walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach. South Haven has many wonderful local shops and restaurants. The community deck offers individuals to sit and watch the boats coming and going from Lake Michigan and watch the sunset. The condo itself has been beautifully updated with modern conveniences.
