Very Clean, Close to everything!
This condo was close to everything and it was so clean! Although we dined out most of the time we were there because this condo is within walking to distance to great restaurants, the kitchen was very well stocked with all the dishware and cooking utensils. And we felt very safe in the secure building! We will definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much for the nice review and for leaving the condo so clean! It means a lot to us. You are welcome to come back anytime!
Location was great but no parking space was available and I got a parking ticket. Could not contact manager and no info on business hours or when you're allowed to contact manager.
Second time staying this condo. It has always been first rate. Always clean. The unit has everything you need for a week's stay. The only issue we had was the key. There was supposed to be a set if keys inside the condo along with a set of keys from the outside lockbox. We only had the set from the outside lockbox. Nothing inside the unit. We managed, but the main entrance key was difficult to use. Needed several minutes of jiggling. The management company was not eager to help so we lived with it. I still highly recommend this place.

Reviewer Comments:
The condo was very clean, up to date, and in a nice downtown location. You can walk to everything. The main beach here gets a bit crowded but if you're willing to take a short drive to one of the nearby parks you'll find a great beach spot.
1 mile walk to the beach with restaurants and shopping very nearby. The kitchen was well stocked and past guests had left spices and some miscellaneous items to help stock the pantry. There were beach chairs in the closet, but you'll need to bring your own beach towels. We were able to access our Netflix account on the living room TV which was nice. There's no real view, but the balcony was still nice and proximity to attractions was more important to us.

Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with Unsalted Vacations. We hope to see you return in the future.
Enjoyed our time in Gd Haven.. but disappointed the Homeowners do not allow even a gas grill on the deck.
Minor issues that you may want to address :
Plumbing for both toilets.
Oven cleanliness.
Overall, best location in Gd Haven..

Reviewer Comments:
We stayed for a week during coast guard festival. The location is perfect for the festival. The carnival is right outside the door however the condo is quiet inside. Walking distance to the beach. The place is nice, clean and comfortable. The major downside is overnight parking. There are only about 10 spots for overnight parking close by. The rest are 3 hour. The spots are always taken by other guest, so once you get a spot you don't want to move your car or you probably won't get another one when you get back. You have to pay $5 a day for overnight parking which isn't bad, but you have to remember to get a ticket every day as they are single day passes. While on vacation, it is a lot to have to think about and deal with every day. We stayed for 3 days after the festival and overnight parking did not get any better. I also recommend bringing more bath towels. We were provided 4 bath towels for 4 adults for a week. Overall, if you don't need a car, I would recommend this condo, otherwise I would look for a place with a reserved space.

We talked with the renter after this review came through because we were shocked by the comments after having several interactions with them during their stay. The renter said he made a mistake and meant this review to be for another rental that they stayed in after ours. We tried to work with Homeaway to have the review amended and it could not be done. Please look at the previous reviews. This rental is beautiful and in a great spot!

We really enjoyed our experience in Grand Haven. What a beautiful place to visit, with many activities, great shopping, and centrally located for adventurous day trips. Our rental condo was perfectly located a block from the water and most everything was within walking distance. The only negative was the parking.

You can't beat the location! This condo is very high end and exceptionally clean. Everything you could possibly need and more is available. The owner and management company kept me informed on all I needed to know for a smooth check in. I love this condo and plan to rent it again next year.
