Awesome view of West Lake

We really enjoyed this stay. The view is a ten on a scale of one to five. The room is clean and neat and COMFY! I should mention that that are 42 stairs (three fours) to get up there. But as my wife walked into the room, she said "That was worth it"

Highly Recommend!!

This property is very unique with amenities and lake views you won't find anywhere else! The apartment is decorated beautifully and is well equipped with anything you need for a fun lake stay. Numerous shops, restaurants and live music are steps away, was nice to be able to walk everywhere and not worry about traffic and parking.

Dad and daughter trip

After nearly 30, Dad and I returned to The Lake and to this fantastic space! The views of the lake were fantastic, the space was very clean and comfortable. The 21 steps to the penthouse were not too much of a challenge for Dad, but could certainly be an issue for others as listed in the description. The reserved parking space was a huge bonus as the Emporium can be crazy busy during the summer. We loved sitting outside and listening to the live music downstairs and Dad really enjoyed seeing all the boats on the water, especially when The Queen passed by. I would return to this property again.

Perfect for us.,

This is our second time staying in the Penthouse and, once again, we loved the place and it’s location! We appreciate the effort made to create the notebook with lots of information. The bed was comfy, everything was clean, and we could walk to lots of fun places. Last but not least, the view in incomparable!

The setting, views, and location are spectacular

This listing says nothing about the fact that the only access to this location involves a steep set of stairs and that access after Emporium and Prime Hours requires ascending a wooden outdoor staircase. Otherwise, we loved it.

This is hands down the coolest place to stay in Arnold's Park. We loved walking through the lighted arches to the amusement park and beachfront. We loved staying in the shopping mecca. We loved seeing the entirety of West Lake from our couch/bed/ kitchen/ dining table and of course deck. The only thing that could make it better would be if the Gardens was open for brunch.

My husband and I loved this place above the Emporium. It was great watching all the boats and water sports, walking to all the restaurants and bars, and listening to live music. We also had access to a covered wet slip for our boat just five minutes away. We will be back!!!!

Beautiful view in the heart of the action of Arnold’s but still private

Very well stocked, cleanly, upscale penthouse with incredible views and veranda to enjoy the scenery. Great location w access to all the amenities and activity of Arnold’s Park and the marina and cruises. Walking distance to music and bars and eateries right in the building. Was great to not worry about driving anywhere. All we needed was right there!

The Penthouse Apartment was clean, quiet for the most part, and had a spectacular view. It has all the things you need for a great stay! The jacuzzi tub was a bonus too! And the location was super convenient to get to many fun places to eat and shop and Arnold's Park was a 5 min walk away too. Can't beat this place!!
