I only stayed a couple nights, but it was very clean, charming and quiet, which is what I always want and it was close to everything. Lovely little property tucked away next to the Belltower.
Cute house, clean environment great commutation with the host. Only downside was we weren’t aware there was no central air. However, host did offer to send someone to install the window A/C units.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. Very clean and spacious. The blue couch in the living room is amazing I want one for my house. It's on a quiet and safe street. It's located next to an old church that can be rented. It's close to a lot of fun amazing beaches so much to do within a short drive. The host was responsive and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.
Nice property, that was very clean and welcoming. The host is very responsive and helpful. I would recommend this place and will use again!

Beach Bliss is a cute and well appointed property. The outside sitting area and fire pit were enjoyable. The beds and furniture were comfy. I would recommend to anyone that wants a quiet getaway close to the beach.
We come to St Joseph/Benton Harbor quite often, and this was probably our favorite rental spot. Cool property, PERFECT location to explore the area. We loved it!
This is a quaint cottage close to the beach and downtown area with lots of shopping and dining options. We enjoyed Silver Beach and walking around downtown. After eating and shopping we were able to relax in the quiet neighborhood.
Great little place for a girls’ beach day and night out! Very clean, quiet location, plenty of amenities. We had a blast, thank you to our wonderful host!
