Visit to MI

This was a great place to stay, location was perfect and it’s has a beautiful view of the bay. We were close to just about everything we wanted to do. Parking is onsite and you are able to walk to the downtown area (about 10-15 minutes) We had a slight hiccup with check in. Room was said to be ready however, it was not cleaned from previous renter. I called to report and they were extremely fast to rectify the situation and there was no disruption in our vacation. They did a great job! Loved it here- we’ll be back.

Wine tasting with friends

Loved the property and location to everything and the time with friends was priceless. Very nicely appointed condo with modern amenities and super comfortable, making it easy to sit back and relax. Nice touches with the robes, Keurig coffee maker and complimentary bottle of wine. Enjoyed the stay very much and will probably come back. Only complaint was the service charge, four different tax charges and cleaning fee (even though we had to run dishwasher, start laundry and pull sheets off). Added approximately another $450 in charges (for 3 nights) which would have likely altered my decision.

Great time!

Everything very nice & satisfactory. Its not beach front its across a busy boulevard. Bay view would be better discription. Couple things to note, there is no Front door entrance-they are labeled East or West door. Was a bit confusing. No parking pass in unit to put in our car during our stay. Could of used a cutting board. No complaints otherwise-great place convenient to everything.

Beautiful condo

Condo seems brand new. All the furniture seems brand new, everything smells and looks brand new. Very nice condo. There is 4 lanes of traffic between you and the lake. Those cars do block the view a little and do create road noise. I was surprised we could hear the upstairs neighbors walking around. It could use room darkening blinds. The front master bedroom wasn't very dark at night and you had a lot of road noise. The back bedroom faces the parking lot and fire pit so you do have that too. The parking is tight but manageable.

Property beautiful! Parking horrible could possibly ruin your vehicle. No one one to communicate too at all by text message only. At check out was asked to take out all garbages and put laundry in the washer (Towels and Bed Linens) and have it done by 11:00am check out time. I have never been asked to do any chores before on vacation and I travel often especially for the rate of this place (Crazy).
