Great place!!!

This property definitely shows it's age but overall not too bad. We thought this property was rather cluttered with "stuff" especially on the kitchen counters, on top of the kitchen cabinets and underneath the sink in the ensuite bathroom where I was going to put a couple of our toiletries, etc. so had to place my belongings on the nightstand. May want to pay attention to details (ie: inappropriate candle on the kitchen counter); top of the stove was not clean and there were dishes (clean) left in the dishwasher from the previous renters so I handwashed the few that we used and had to dry with paper towel as there were no kitchen towels in the drawer marked "kitchen towels" (only pot holders). The beach club area was very nice as was the pool/hot tub area.

This condo in Harbor Cove is an excellent place to stay. The condo was clean and had everything you needed for a vacation get-away. The new indoor swimming pool and club house is really nice, and the outdoor swimming pool looks great (not open because they were finishing installing the outside railing), as well. The private sand beach was clean and also has a new club house. We are look forward to renting this place again.

If it weren't for the facilities at Harbor Cove I would have given this condo a 2 star. The condo is in major need of renovation! My family liked the large kitchen table, the stone fireplace, the pictures and the master bedroom was ok. The rest of the house felt like a college rental. What was there was functional but worn out and/or didn't match. I have stayed in several rentals and all had that "wow" factor that let you know you were on vacation. Those rentals were also in the same price range as this condo. As you walk in you're greeted by a brown indoor/outdoor carpet and an uneven floor around the steps. The kitchen is from 1990. Above the ceiling is only half painted. The couches are well broken in. Upstairs is no different. The bathroom has yellow faded linoleum which I think used to be white. The toilet runs non stop and the shower door falls off everytime you move it. In many places the wallpaper is faded or torn. In the bunk room the beds are placed in a way that restricts access to one of the windows and the closet. There is a TV upstairs...but no cables to make it work. During our stay it was rather warm so the fans were nice as the upstairs gets very warm. With all that negative being said, my family did have a great time in the area and Harbor cove. The private beach was great! It was not crowded and very beautiful. The outdoor and indoor pools were also great. I've never been in such a warm heated outdoor pool. The hot tub and sauna were also nice. The grilling stations around the condo and pool were convenient and well taken care of. The location was perfect sorted in between Harbor Springs and Petoskey. There is also several other nearby attractions that are easy to get to. Almost every drive is scenic to boot. This condo has a lot of potential but for the price it needs serious renovations! There are others that that are updated and very nice for around the same price or cheaper.
