VRBO #862878 Pleasant View, Custom Lake Michigan Lakefront Home in South Haven
Beach Breeze is a recently constructed luxury home directly on Lake Michigan. It is perfectly situated just 5 minutes north of St. Joseph and 20 minutes south of South Haven. With over 170 feet of private sandy beach, it is the perfect spot to get away for your beach vacation. Stunning views of Lake Michigan greet you from the moment you walk up to the front door and step onto the custom white oak floors which are throughout the house. A hot tub was added this year.
There are 5 ensuite bedrooms including two primary suites, one of which is on first floor. There is plenty of room for the whole family, and the 5 bedrooms with 5 1/2 baths accommodate up to 14 guests. They consist of three bedrooms with king beds, one bedroom on the first floor with a queen bed, and six twin beds in the custom built-in bunkroom.
Large windows throughout Beach Breeze provide gorgeous views of Lake Michigan. Stairs with a walking path lead to a large sandy PRIVATE not association beach. The home office with glass French doors is perfect for checking in on work while getting away with your family. RH, Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel, Serena & Lily, and West Elm furniture grace the home.
The large custom built kitchen with quartz countertops and ample work surface is a dream in which to prepare those special meals while still enjoying views of the lake from the bank of large windows over the kitchen sink. There is a large RH dining table with ample seating.
Not only do stunning views greet you from within the house, but also there are multiple decks from which to enjoy the lake views and star gazing at night. A large deck accessible from the main living room lines the entire back of the house and is complete with Adirondack chairs. Another deck serves the main bedroom and provides the perfect spot to sip that morning coffee while watching the boats out on Lake Michigan. The east bedroom enjoys its own private deck as well. In addition, a generous screened porch with a vaulted ceiling and a bluestone patio with a fire pit are perfect spots to gather while watching the waves dance along the lake.
The portable pickleball equipment is perfect for a friendly game. The Joola Ping Pong table and air hockey provide lots of entertainment when you are not outdoors enjoying the lake. In addition, the mud room and separate laundry room add plenty of storage for all of your gear.
The large 170' sandy beach with beach sand chairs is the perfect spot to relax with a book or to build sand castles and memories. This beautiful private beach provides a special place to watch the waves dance along the shore and occasional boats floating upon the water.
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me. I am always happy to answer any questions and enjoy serving my guests.

Very special place! Breathtaking views, amazing property and a home that is impeccably clean and beautifully designed! This place is so special - our extended family had a wonderful week here and we hope to come back! It has everything you need for a week on Lake Michigan! The owner is so communicative and gracious. I highly recommend this property!
This is a beautiful property! Very clean! Beautiful view of the lake. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Our family had a great time building wonderful memories together here! Highly recommend. We would definitely book it again!
This is a amazing property. Very clean and stocked with all of the essentials. Beautifully furnished. The owners have really thought of everything to make peoples stay relaxing. Private beach access was a bonus. Our family of 11 adults and three small children vacationed with ease at this property. We will vacation here again in the future.
Spacious home, beautiful views worked well for our family vacay. We spent time on the private beach & in Lake Michigan, the hot tub, in St Joseph, Caloma area (Paw Paw Lake), South Haven. Would have been even better with a big tv on main floor family area…also additional bathroom linens (especially washcloths) …
was an absolutely stunning property, the hosts were very easy to communicate with and the house exceeded our expectations, we would 100% stay here again!
The property is amazing. The owner, Jim, was so helpful and kind. We loved our lazy mornings on the porch looking at the incredible view of Lake Michigan. We played yard games and spent long days at the Beach. Everyone had their own space and never felt cramped. The kitchen and screened in porch are game changers. I strongly recommend this property.
I have been telling all my friends and family how excited I was to stay at this property. When I finally arrived, it was just as beautiful as the photos. My friends and I were able to watch the sunset both nights! There are plenty of bathrooms for people not to feel on top of each-other too. If you are looking for a home to get away to for a relaxing weekend, this is the place to go.The only negatives (which are small), the stairs are quite steep to get down to access the beach and it’ll take a couple of minutes to get to the bottom. It wasn’t an issue for my group but elderly or disabled people will not be able to use them. There was also quite a lot of fruit flies in the house but the owners setup traps to try to combat them. I know fruit flies are hard to get rid of though so again - not a big deal for us just a bit annoying at times in the kitchen.Overall, I would still highly recommend this home to stay at in the future.
We had an amazing stay with friends and family! Plenty of room for 11 adults 2 babies! Great view, large yard, private beach. It takes about 5 mins to walk down to the beach, & tougher uphill. Had to purchase some cleaning supplies & basic kitchen items but otherwise had enough silverware, kitchen utensils, and tableware. Very responsive host! Overall lots of memories in this beautiful house! Would recommend!
The house was gorgeous and perfectly suited for our 3 families to gather to celebrate a milestone birthday. The kids loved the bunk room. Perfect getaway.
The property was beautiful and well kept as was the house. So well laid out. If you plan to do a lot of cooking the kitchen could have been better equipped with pots pans. Teflon plans should be gotten rid of and they should be replaced with stainless steel. Rooms and beds were well appointed and comfortable. Toys and activities for entire family were excellent including beach equipment. Beach towels would be nice to include since they are bulky to bring. Water pressure was very low and hot supply was as well. These improvements would really put this house in a league of its own. With that said we had a wonderful extended family weekend. We would absolutely rent again.
We had many different age groups stay with us over a three week period, ranging from age 18 to 80, and the house accommodated us all beautifully. It is in tip top condition and offers many amenities. The beach is lovely and the sun sets are beautiful. We enjoyed it very much.
Had a great time with family of all ages, beautiful place with breathtaking views, if you normally carry a lot of stuff to beach I would pack light, stairs to beach are challenging for some people.
We had a larger group and the home accommodated all of us well! Beautiful views, nice relaxing spaces. Would def rent afain.

Kelly, I am so glad that you enjoyed Beach Breeze and would definitely rent again. It is a spectacular home. It does indeed have beautiful views and nice relaxing spaces.
Beautiful home with an amazing private beach. The steps down to the beach are steep, but my 84 year old aunt made it up and down each day without issue. The location feels very private but we were still very close to all the activities we wanted to do. Would highly recommend.
Very comfortable well appointed. Steps to beach difficult to navigate for little ones and those over 70. Nice secluded beach.

About the host
Hosted by Jim Skarin
My wife of 42 years and I enjoy working together. We poured our hearts into building this home. Our five children and seventeen grandchildren have all added insight into making this vacation home extra special. We all enjoy extending hospitality to others and know that you will build many happy memories at Beach Breeze.
Why they chose this property
Our family selected this property because of the large lot and beautiful beach. It's the perfect place to gather, and we liked the fact that we could build with a walkout basement to add even more windows to enjoy the everchanging waters on Lake Michigan. We prized this private location that was just minutes from the amenities of Saint Joseph's charming downtown.
What makes this property unique
Besides the large sandy beach and stunning sunsets over Lake Michigan, this home exudes charm from the moment you drive up to it. The private back yard with its multiple decks and bluestone patio invites you to sit and relax with a glass of iced tea while reading a book or chatting with friends and family. The generous screened porch offers the perfect place to relax while enjoying spectacular views of Lake Michigan, and the private setting provides the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway with family and friends.
