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!

Historic get away

We have walked past the building this condo is housed in for years. It was great to learn about its history! The Black Pearl is well appointed and cozy. Terrific decor. Great location…an easy walk to both South Haven and the North Beach area.

Lovely! Comfortable stay in a great location

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The place was clean and comfortable and was just as nice and spacious as it appeared in the listing. Also, the host was very professional, kind, and responsive (not that we needed her for anything). We would stay there again!

Awesome stay!

The condo was better than imagined...had everything you would need for your stay and then some. Condo is well maintained and is close to everything in town. We walked to shops and restaurants. The drive to the wineries was not that far either and we loved the outside deck area in the evening. Would definitely stay there again!!

New Years Weekend

My wife and I came with another couple over New Years. The Black Pearl was really nice. The location was perfect we walked everywhere. The size of the bedrooms and the living area was perfect for the four of us. The interior was well done and we had a wonderful time during our stay. We had good communication from the owner and highly recommend the Black Pearl.

Loved it!

Excellent location - central to beach and downtown. Very nice deck overlooking river. Condo was renovated and setup nicely - just like the pictures. Was great for our group of friends since this is two units combined into one larger unit. Owner was very timely and responsive to questions. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

A Gem in South Haven!

A gem in South Haven! Just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, shops, and more. We were also spoiled by the large private deck that overlooks the Black River. Perfect for watching the sunset with drinks or dessert :) The condo is beautifully updated and our host Stephanie was the best! We arrived to find a little welcome bag with some of our favorite goodies. Can't wait to come back!

Summer Family Vacation

Location! Location! Location! The condo was wonderful! It is in the center of everything. Walking distance to the restaurants and beaches. The kitchen and main room were great for hanging out with the family. Beds were comfortable. The condo parking lot passes were great as we didn't have to worry about finding a parking spot, which can be huge headache in the summer. Stephanie (host) was wonderful to deal with and she answered all my questions. I would highly recommend this place. I am looking forward to our next visit to South Haven as I definitely be staying at this place again.

Looks just like information on VRBO’s sight

Had very enjoyable week. Rough start weather wise but before mid week turned gorgeous. Was a little disappointed on the information on the grill. Once we found it and the location of it made us a little skeptical about using it. Other than that we could not have had a better time. The owner Stephanie was great getting all our questions answered and not only that she was willing to go above and beyond the call of duty by offering to bring some items we left behind at check out to her home town so we could pick it up there instead of driving back to South Haven.

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.
