Good place but needs updated

It’s a great location, awesome if you have a pet. Beds are not comfortable, WiFi didn’t work most of the time. It’s not a warm and fuzzy kind of place but very functional and easy to get to and be in.

Maple house

The house is located on what could be busy at times, but it was quiet and pleasant at night. It had a nice enclosed backyard for our dog, but the rain kept us indoors alot. Nice neighborhood and we were four blocks from the Main Street. It was just my wife and I so having just one bathroom was not an issue. Having a mirror in the bedrooms would be nice. Kitchen was well equipped. Overall, the house is older, but many renovations make it a comfortable stay.

Great location, convenient for travelling with dogs!

This unit is in a great location to support exploring historic and beautiful Manistee on foot. The home is quiet and clean. The attached garage and fenced yard are helpful features for those travelling with dogs. I would definitely stay here again.

Our 1st VRBO Experience

This was our 1st time giving VRBO a try. I will never be using a hotel again :). The whole process was very very easy. The property was exactly as pictured. It was extremely accommodating with everything we needed & more. The property was also extremely clean inside & out. Boardwalk rentals has earned our return business!

Nice rental close to downtown

It was a nice place that was close enough to downtown you could wake up and do a walk on the Riverwalk and check out the shops. It's quiet in Manistee in general, but the area is cozy and works perfect for a quiet beach vacation town.
