About this property

Compass Pointe Condominium - Steps to downtown, close to Lake Michigan

An unforgettable stay awaits you at Compass Pointe on Harbor, located in the heart of downtown Grand Haven! A beautiful water view from your balcony will make your stay magical! You'll enjoy watching boats navigate up and down the channel, stunning sunsets, and Grand Haven's Famous Musical Fountain from the privacy of your own balcony or walk across the street and watch it channel-side. A few feet from your front door you can experience locally owned shops, restaurants, bars, farmers market, Chinook Pier, municipal marina, boardwalk, museums, and more.All so close to the action, yet just far enough away.

Lake Michigan is about a mile away, walk or drive and check out Grand Haven’s Beach which was voted one of the best beaches in the USA by Coastal Living magazine and US News and World Reports!

In addition to the great location, the condo provides room for all! Our spacious 3-floor (all stairs, no elevator) condo has plenty of room to spread out. You will have private use of all 3 floors; 1 designated outdoor parking space, 2 guest-parking spaces on the premises, and the use of a secure coded garage for storage of any bikes or equipment you might bring for your stay. The designated parking space is next to the flight of stairs to the 2nd floor’s secured main entrance where you will enter with your own private code, no need to go to any specially designated place or lock boxes. The Space: The garage level opens into a finished rec room/basement area. Here you will find board games, beach gear; towels, chairs, a cooler & beach cart, TV/gaming, a highchair, stroller, and baby gates, and a queen sofa sleeper. The stairs take you to the 2nd floor and main entrance; the 2 bedrooms, full bath, and laundry are located here - complete with plenty of comfy bedding, pillows, and towels for all. Stairs on this floor lead you up to the beautiful 3rd floor for your balcony views off the living room. The well-supplied kitchen & 1/2 bath are also on this level for you to enjoy! You’ll find many little extras throughout the condo for your use. We hope you thoroughly enjoy your stay!
Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations, we are so excited to have you stay and enjoy the majesty of West MI and Lake Michigan ☀️
A couple of housekeeping notes:
We do not have a linen service like a hotel, we ask that you keep the towel usage down to a minimum. Please feel free to freshen up your towels and run them through the washer during your stay, also if you use the beach towels please wash/dry them prior to your departure. The 4-hour turnaround does not allow enough time for 10 loads of laundry.
Although this is your own private condo during your stay, it is located within a condominium community. We ask that you respect the privacy of the year-round residents that live here who share our walls and walkways. Parking in only designated areas, no dogs, (HOA rule, not ours) no parties, no smoking anywhere on or around the property, quiet zone after 9:00 pm is appreciated by all.

The perfect place to rest

Our family was looking for a place to just hunker down and spend some time doing the things we love. This spot was exactly as described and let us do that well. There was plenty of space for the four of us to comfortably do things together... movies/video games on the couch, board games at the dining table... or spread out and enjoy some alone time. The full kitchen was well supplied and allowed us to make yummy food and snacks when we wanted. While the close proximity to a variety of restaurants allowed us to indulge in delicious dash-delivered take out. Overall, this property was just a wonderful place to get away to.

Cute convenient condo close to downtown

This condo was super cute, clean and very convenient for a downtown stay in Grand Haven. While we came prepared for a vrbo stay, I have to say that many amenities were supplied. If I had any complaint (which isn’t really a complaint), I would say that you must be able to manage stairs to stay here. You have to lug luggage up a couple sets of stairs to entry level and then more stairs for groceries. If that doesn’t deter you, this is a nice quiet place to stay.

Charming place!

Great location! Walking distance to the beach and all the downtown shops. It is a split level condo with 3 levels, the bedrooms being on the main floor. Cozy lake decor and all the creature comforts you require. Sue was a very attentive host. We would gladly return to this place!

Compass Pointe Condo, Grand Haven

The condo is immaculate and beautifully decorated. The living area on the top level is spacious, offering plenty of room for our party of 4 adults. It's perfectly located with a short walk to downtown shopping, restaurants, the beach, musical fountain and the boardwalk. As for restaurants, I'd recommend The Paisley Pig, Morning Star Cafe, The Toasted Pickle and JW's Food & Spirits. It was only a 9 minute drive to the Rosy Mound Natural Area for a wonderful hike. I would stay here again when visiting Grand Haven.

Pleasant vacation

My family, consisting of me, my husband, my mother and my daughter, really enjoyed our stay. The property was perfect for fitting our needs. We had plenty of space, fresh linens and cooking utensils. We were very close to all the shops downtown and close to the public beach. The condo had easy access and even had a few items we could use to take to the beach. Rules and regulations were clear and easy to follow. We had a great stay and would consider staying again.

Great place close to downtown

The place worked well for our family with young kids, but would also be good for older (or no) kids. Stairs posed a small problem for our 1 year old, but the hosts provided baby gates which mitigated the problem. Would definitely stay here again!

Girls Trip

This property was beautiful and met our needs well. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. It was nice to have 3 levels to spread out. Our one recommendation would be for exterior lighting in the area where all the condo front doors are located. It's very dark at night coming back from the musical fountain and it was disconcerning to walk through an extremely dark walkway to find the front door. Other than that, we loved it and would highly recommend!

Peaceful retreat

We were in town to attend a bridal shower. Looking for accommodations close to shopping and restaurants and the beach. We found this wonderful condo with everything you could need that was close to everything but quiet and peaceful at night and could watch and hear the fountain performance on the deck if interested. The condo was clean, the beds comfortable and decorated in an updated manner. Parking was easy and safe. We were very pleased.

Great family vacation

Myself, wife, and two kids (5 and 3 yr olds) visited for 3 nights. We have stayed at multiple places in the Grand Haven/Spring Lake area and this was definitely our favorite. Great location, walkable to the harbor, downtown, and the light show at night. Beds were comfortable. We really appreciated the wide assortment of beach equipment. 10/10 would rent again. My wife’s only nit pick was that the kitchen area smelled mildly musty.

About the host

Hosted by Sue and Bob Bladek

Host profile image
Bob and I are empty nesters and love to travel as often as we can. Bob retired this past December (he had been at the same job for 39 years, he said he lived vicariously through me haha). I have basically reinvented myself about 5 times over; restaurant manager, theme park manager, charter captain (excursions only, I didn't offer fishing), long-term rental owner, currently a Realtor and now we are short-term rental owners. We are SO..... excited.
It took us 3 years to find the right property to rent and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

I grew up in Holland, and Bob grew up in CT, however, he has now lived in Michigan longer than CT.

We have one daughter and now a wonderful son-in-law. We lucked out with a great guy, and squeaked in a wedding 2 weeks before the Covid shut down to "flatten the curve". Our son-in-law is German so the wedding was a destination with 110 people from all over the US and the World. Upon our departure, the only thing we had heard was there was "a flu" going around... Who knew what we were in for? So glad it's in our past.

Our only sadness in this endeavor is the condo association doesn't allow dogs. :-(
We had a beautiful, happy, loving, Goldendoodle named Bella, she crossed the rainbow bridge on March 1st. We miss her so much. She loved to be petted, so much so that all our friends had nicknamed her "Eileen - I lean" Once you started petting her she is against your leg and your friend for the rest of the day.
We so we understand how difficult it is to leave your fur baby behind, but it is out of our control.

Why they chose this property

As I mentioned above, we looked long and hard for a rental property, we had a large list of "must-have" amenities/activities.
We found this condo and instantly fell in love.
It's in a great location with views of the channel, marina, musical fountain, sunsets and a good spot to people watch. It's within walking distance of downtown Grand Haven & Lake Michigan. You can schedule a fishing, sailing, or sightseeing charter, with a local charter captain, walk the docks, eat at some really good restaurants, and enjoy the new social district and have a cocktail or microbrew on the main street. There are bike paths, hiking trails, museums, festivals, Imagination Station Playground, Splash Pad, and best of all the BEACH. Lake Michigan is MAGICAL, beautiful beaches, freshwater - No Sharks, and goes farther than the eye can see, you will swear you are at the ocean, but even better - No Salt!!!

** Beach Tip** You might want to put a car at the beach early in the morning to get a parking spot so you can take it home after a LONG day of fun in the sand and sun, you can also load it with the beach chairs, cooler, toys, towels, etc... much less to haul if you want to walk over a bit later in the day.
On a sunny day, there will not be any parking after about 10:30 am.
