Boardwalk Vacation Rentals reviews in Manistee, Michigan

“This house North of Manistee was a nice spot. We enjoyed the fire pit in the back. The house was clean and spacious for our group of seven. The floor boards are a little bit warped in a few spots in one bedroom and the dining area which caused a little challenge for our 80 year old grandmother when she was walking around. Otherwise good place to stay.”

“We had a great stay here while our house in the same town was under construction. Having the fenced-in backyard was great for our two dogs we took with us. Location is pretty awesome too, just a short walk to downtown restaurants and shops, and the neighborhood was great for walking our dogs. Loved having all the bedrooms, and the living room was a nice spot to hang out with big windows bringing in lots of daylight. My only minor complaint was the garage door open button not working, so we had to use the manual buttons on garage door ceiling unit (made it time-consuming getting in and out of the garage). Otherwise we had a fantastic stay and would recommend this place to anyone coming to visit Manistee!”

“The condo is very small, not comfortable, relaxing or accommodating. There is one 32 inch tv in the livingroom, it is cheap, poor quality & sound. You have to watch it sideways because of the furnature. Livingroom furnature is uncomfortable and cheap. There is one closet in the entire condo & you can't use it to hang clothes because there is a mattress & supplies stored there. The dresser has sheets stored in it & broken drawers. There is barely enough room to walk around the bed & no overhead lights, a small lamp is the only light. The bathroom cabinet is full of towel bars, paint, maintenence supplies. You cannot put your stuff away and have to leave your stuff in suitcases, if you leave them open it has to be on the kitchen table as there is no other space. There is no laundry. It is just a very un- inviting and un-comfortable space. We were not told the parking lot was being resurfaced so we couldn't even park near our unit. On a positive, the mattress was very comfortable.”

“Great location for walking into town or along the board walk to Lake Michigan. Great deck overlooking the river. The unit was very comfortable for our two night anniversary getaway. Multiple events occurred that made us question the management company’s knowledge of unit, however. At 9:45 on our first morning, cleaning people coded in and entered without knocking. She said her boss told her the unit was unoccupied. The slider to the deck leaked onto the floor when it rained. The management company told us to put a towel in front of the slider. When you walk on that section of flooring, it obviously has been leaking for sometime. We could’ve sat on the deck even in inclement weather but the covering was broken. On our last morning, my husband loaded the car at 9:30 before our 10 am departure. Our door was already locked and he was unable to reenter. The mgmt. company did respond when I contacted them. It just seems like our issues were all avoidable.”

“This was our second stay after driving from Texas to Manistee. The home was clean, well equipped, and the host was responsive. However, the primary bedroom still had the same uncomfortable bed as our last visit—disappointing at this price point. Checkout flexibility was limited: no extension on our first stay and only one extra hour for our Wednesday checkout this time, despite our long drive ahead. The biggest concern was privacy. Someone entered the home while we were out, without notifying us or asking permission, and locked the downstairs cleaning closet with a key. I had opened that closet on arrival; by our last day, it had been locked. Discovering that someone had entered the home during our stay without our knowledge or consent was extremely alarming and violated our expectation of privacy. The cleanliness and responsiveness were appreciated, but these concerns are why I’m giving three stars.”
