The Black Pearl: industrial condo sleeps 6, full size kitchen & scenic views!

The Black Pearl receives its name from being located right on the Black River leading out to beautiful Lake Michigan along with the fun industrial and lake vibe. The Black Pearl is located within the Colonial Condominiums. The Colonial Condominiums were originally built in the early 1900's as a hotel. It offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience in beautiful South Haven.

The Black Pearl includes:
-Flat screen tv
-Wireless Internet provided by the association
-Coin operated laundry in basement
-Nearby off-site parking for 3 vehicles
-Weekly rentals

The condo was remodeled and combines both unit 10 & 11. The entrance into the unit is through unit 10. The Black Pearl features:

-2 bedrooms
-2 full bathrooms
-High ceilings
-3 queen-sized beds
-Full kitchen
-Communal large deck on the Black River and overlooking Lake Michigan
*all condos, buildings and decks are non-smoking

Please note that due to the Black Pearl being located in downtown, Summer evenings and some weekends in the Spring and Fall can get a bit noisy.

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.

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.

What a FABULOUS Property

Black pearls and rare and beautiful and that is the perfect name for this place...because it is a rare find and so beautiful! This property was amazing! Every aspect of this property was everything you could expect for a rental property! Loved having the bedrooms separated at each end of the condo to give privacy. Bedrooms/Bathrooms were set up like a top tier hotel! It had every imaginable supply you could think that you could need during your stay plus so much more. Kitchen was wonderful and so functional! We could not think of anything that we were missing or need when we were there! And it was for us a perfect location. (Far enough away from the bakery that we did not indulge too much!) I am already looking at booking it for another week next year! If I could give this place a 15 out of 10 I would.

Wish we could have stayed longer!

The Black Pearl was exactly as advertised. Excellent communication from the property owner. The property was comfortable, spacious and spotless and very welcoming. Lovely welcome note and goodie bag when we arrived. Location could not be better - just a 5-minute walk to downtown and easy access to the Harbor Walk, which we took out to see the lighthouse (about 15-minute walk). We were only in town for one night, and we truly wished we could stay longer.

Perfect location- updated and lovely condo

The location is excellent and though the property is a historic building the condo was tastefully updated and beautifully maintained. I'd stay here again and again. The owner/manager was a wonderful communicator and her attention to detail was greatly appreciated. The thoughtful gift and welcoming message was just a lovely touch.

Great family property with good location

My husband and I stayed with his brother's wife and almost 3 year old. The flat was perfect for two couples. The location was easy to walk to the shops, bars, and lake. Great communication with the property owner. Everything was clean and the beds were sturdy and comfortable. I would absolutely stay there again. My one note is that if a parking pass is needed, it should be provided. It wasn't an issue for our off-season visit.

Amazing Location!

We had a fabulous time in South Haven and staying at the Black Pearl. Everything was perfect. The condo is set up with bedrooms/ bathrooms at opposite ends which allowed for extra privacy (traveled with another couple). Kitchen and sitting area is nice. Everything was so clean. The heated bathroom floor was a nice surprise! Stephanie was responsive and eady to deal with. We can't wait to come back.

Cute rental, convenient location

This place is very nice to stay at, had everything we needed. The deck is very nice to sit and relax, watching the boats, and the drawbridge. It’s within walking distance to all the stores/restaurants and maybe a 10 min drive from the beach. Getting in was so easy and the host was very quick at answering when we had a question. Highly recommend staying here.

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.
