About this property

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. Located within walking distance to the pristine beaches of Lake Michigan, the Colonial Condominiums are centrally located for easy access to local restaurants, shopping and outdoor recreation.

    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.

We loved our stay at the Black Pearl. The unit has a cool industrial loft feeling, the layout is great, and the condo was well appointed and very clean. In addition, the unit is in a fantastic location in South Haven. We walked to dinner every night. We walked across the bridge to visit the Michigan Maritime Museum. We even walked to the movie theater. We walked to the lighthouse. Everything that you need is within walking distance. Stephanie was very easy to work with. Check-in was simple. We would rent this unit again in a minute.

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.

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.
