The whole weekend was excellent. The house was great and met our needs perfectly. All bedrooms were occupied and our dog guest loved the backyard and the front porch. There was a charity foot race that went right in front of Sand Rabbit and we all enjoyed watching all the racers / walkers go past. The location worked out great and our grandson couldn't believe the beach could be so close. The our son's wedding and weather were fantastic. There was not a guest to St. Joseph that did not just love the town and atmosphere. Thank you and we will surely keep in mind the Sand Rabbit for a possible family get away vacation.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Great location! Nice owner! Website didn't state that wifi is available...nice addition! Great room sizes... accommodated a large group well. That's the up side...however...we were required to pay a cleaning fee (expected) but house doesn't reflect that the money from that fee is turned back into the house; not particularly clean...outside needs a lot of work. Several pieces of furniture in the house were in disrepair, some complaints were made about some of the beds....Recommended for: Tourists without a car, sightseeing.

This is the first time we have vacationed with our children and their spouses. We needed a place with 5 or 6 bedrooms so this house worked well. The remodeled upstairs was especially nice. It was clean and furnished with about anything you would need. We especially liked that it was close to the beach and downtown was within walking distance. We have went to St. Joseph for the last 3 years and enjoy salmon fishing and the quaint shops and restaurants.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

I spent a week at the Sand Rabbit with two friends for a "girl's getaway/writing retreat" and we had a great time. St. Joseph is a good place for a retreat - it's a relaxed town. The Sand Rabbit was the perfect place to stay. We were very comfortable, we enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, and lounging in the living room and watching movies. We truly felt at home. We also enjoyed the beach. It really is just one block away. The public library is lovely and four blocks away. Downtown is a pleasant 7-8 block walk. We hope to return and do it again.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had in St. Joseph for our daughter's wedding. The town was wonderful and my whole family loved it! The weather was great and the location of your house was perfect. The kids could walk to the gorgeous beach and we were 5 minutes walk from everything. The house fit all 18 of us easily. We had a great time and would definitely rent the house again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/3

I rented the Sand Rabbit beach house (both units) with a bunch of my friends for the weekend and it was GREAT! The house had everything we needed- plenty of beds, close beach access and a perfect place to hang out and catch up! I would definitely rent this house again!Did you find this review helpful?

There was plenty of room for the 6 of us at the Sand Rabbit as we spent the weekend ringing in 2005. The home is spacious and comfortable, and perfectly situated one block from the beach and a few short blocks from the town. You can see the lake out the front window!Did you find this review helpful?
