This place has everything and more. Location is perfect. The condo is spacious with a nice deck. There’s a small pool which was nice for kids. The owners were quick to respond. We really loved our stay and will be back.!

This was a wonderful condo for a fall retreat! The location is perfect to everything downtown. There was plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen had everything we needed. Would definitely rent again!

We had another great week at the Alvar Retreat. New renovations (floors, paint, furnishings) look great. We love the ease and location of this condo, and the bedrooms meet our family’s needs. Plenty of room for everyone, and the larger deck and outdoor table served us well at mealtimes. We enjoy biking, and there are plenty of bike racks at the complex. Our only wish is for the condo association to upgrade and enlarge the pool. It was very crowded on hot days, and half of the pool is only 3 feet deep, so swimming was difficult. It was closed last year due to COVID, and we were told that improvements would be made, but we did not see any.

This is the 5th time I stayed. I am able to rent this every year, very easy. The owner always e-mails, and is very helpful. This is a very roomy and clean Condo. The kitchen has everything you need for a weeks stay. Beds are very comfortable.

This property couldn’t be more perfect. It was very comfortable, close to everything and the owner is amazing. We wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back, trying other places to stay is not necessary. We would highly recommend for a girls weekend trip – as that is what we did. We picked perfect dates (Sept 25-27) – weather ended up being 75-78 (gorgeous time). I will be telling everyone about it. It is close to everything and still quiet at night. Golf cart rentals are also close, the general store, and almost everything you could possibly need. Can’t wait to come back!

I absolutely love the floor plan for this unit. It allows a private Master on the main level with a comfortable bed and laundry outside this master. The open living / dining room concept with large outside deck gives plenty of room for entertaining. Upstairs offers another master suite and third full bath for the additional 2 rooms to share. There is a half bath downstairs so every room can be assigned their own facility.
Being on a corner unit with nobody above gives a sense of private home to the stay. This unit is also close to the front, the pool, and the easy access to activities.

We were very pleased with this condo. We have stayed in a few others over many years and decided we need a larger place than usual. This condo was perfect. Well appointed and very comfortable. We were there during the pandemic and felt comfortable at the condo and on the Island. We hope to stay again next year!

Once again,, we had a wonderful time with family and friends in this condo. We were able to enjoy the island safely.. The location is convenient, the unit is roomy, and there are plenty of bicycle racks. This year with COVID, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms contributed to an enjoyable week.

Just stayed for the week at the ALVAR RETREAT. Another great week on the island. This is not the first time I stayed there. The condo is clean and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with any pot, pan or utensil you may need. I plan on going back next year. Perfect location.

Very nice clean condo with lots of room! Loved our stay and would highly recommend the Alvar Retreat for your stay on Kelley’s Island ?
