We had a great week in Manistee staying at this condo. We absolutely loved Harbor Village and the access to the beach and pools. Downtown Manistee had some good restaurants and shops, though the shops mostly closed by dinner time and the restaurants seemed to be having trouble with staffing. The sunset cruise from downtown Manistee was a highlight of our trip.
We had a couple hiccups checking in due to confusion over the main lock mechanism and also a sticky interior door, but the rental management was very quick to respond and sort out our issues. The only real issue we had was the quality of the pull-out couch beds. The couch bed in the den was basically a pancake and the inflatable bed on the living room couch wasn’t much better. I wouldn’t put anyone other than a young child on either of those beds. It’s not a deal-breaker, but I would also suggest adding a patio umbrella to the deck since it’s in the sun most of the day. However, the deck was wonderful for breakfast and evening drinks. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook most of our meals. We wound up buying a few extra washcloths and I would bring more blankets if we stayed again.
Just a note on accessibility: I was thinking my parents would love Harbor Village but there are a lot of stairs and hills around the development. Unfortunately, this would be tough for people with mobility issues.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay! We would love to return to Harbor Village and work with this rental agency again!
