Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was wonderful with our stay. The location, the property, and the staff. The only drawback was the size of the shower stall in the condo. It is too small for a normal size person. A king size bed would make a nice improvement.

Lovely place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Did an impromptu stay for one night as we were doing the state circle tour. Our room was on the second floor , had a balcony overlooking the lake/bay. Sandy beach was clean and shallow for wading in the gentle waves. The room was clean and was one of the nicest places we stayed at on our trip.

Regular Visitor to Beautiful Newport

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent condo with super views. Have stayed in same condo development before. Disappointed when management would not enable us to check in one hour early on basis of back to back rentals although they had 6 hours to clean between rentals. Our group had been traveling had been traveling for 16 1/2 hours and wanted to freshen up before attending a graduation at Oregon State.

Alun, Sorry we could not get you in prior to our guaranteed check in time of 4pm. We did have the room ready We do our very best on requests to get the rooms ready at the checkin time. We certainly hope this won't keep you from coming back in the future. Jamie

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Clean no smell so happy with view felt like we had a home to come back to. Only thing thatcould make it better if there was no carpet not bad but wood or tile would seem to be more easier to clean but probably cold in winters in michigan.

Bad bed

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bed too small & bed cover way too bulky
Response from VrboOwner on 8 August 2023
Thank you for your review. Because of the size of the units, we are limited to Queen size beds. We have noted to the ownership that the duvet setup is not ideal for the property and are working on solutions to that as well. I see your rating of 3 for cleanliness. This is something we pride ourselves on. If you noticed something that we missed please let me know so I can address the issue. We arrival check each room before guest checkins to make sure housekeeping is done right. Thanks again for your review

Nice place a little dated

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was clean inside and out. Great View! Perfect for a couple's getaway. The bed is soft. The water pressure is great in the shower.Outdoor noise is really heard from the bedroom. The condo has an old smell like maybe it was smoked in the past.A couple of things to maybe look at for the owner:The floor in the bedroom close to the window droops down and is very creaky.The carpet in the entrance is a bit stained. I am sure it was clean but gave a feeling of needing to wear slippers around.The couch and gray chair are stiff and not very comfortable.
Response from VrboOwner on 22 November 2023
Erin, Thank your for taking the time to make an honest review of the condo. We do encourage ownership to continue to update the units and these things are noted. We took over the property management side in January and have noticed excitement from the ownership to update the units. We have now incorporated 3d virtual tours for each unit on the website. This allows guests to look through the units and decide which unit would be fit their needs. We appreciate the feedback and hope you will come back to North Shore Inn in the future Jamie General Manager

6/10 Okay

Good Location & View, but Needs Updating

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a nice weekend stay at the North Shore Inn. The view is great and while the exterior, grounds and pool are nice and recently redone, the interior of our unit was in need of renovation - old, dirty carpet, beat up walls and doors and ceiling stains. the walls are also very "thin" - heard everything our neighbors said and did, including showers and flushing toilets - loud enough to wake us in our sleep! We were on the second floor - recommend a third floor unit to help cut down on the noise. Bedroom is also at the front (street) side of the hotel, so again with the noise of the road and people walking to their rooms. We picked a weekend with a group coming home at 2:30am to the unit above us and we were awake for over an hour while they walked around, talked, yelled, showered, etc, etc. Not sure we'd stay here again. Too many other options in the area with similar amenities.
Response from VrboOwner on 19 June 2024
We are sorry you were not completely satisfied with your stay. We took over about a year and 1/2 ago and have some amazing improvements. With it being a 40+ yr old building we do struggle with the thin walls and noise. As far as interior improvements, we have been bumping the owners with suggestions on how to make things much better.
