Say goodbye to loading the kids in the car for every activity—everything is right here! Just 150 ft from Silver Beach on Lake Michigan and a short walk from Downtown St. Joseph, The Compass Fountain, & The Carousel. SBI blends classic beach cottage style and premium modern amenities with the thoughtful touches of an experienced host. This is a place where families can create lasting memories, without the headaches.

THE SILVER BEACH INN OFFERS THREE SEPARATE LISTINGS TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS

Excellent stay in St Joseph!

The property was exactly as described and very comfortable for my two friends and I on our long weekend vacation. The owner was very helpful and responsive with any questions we had and the location is perfect. Very close to the beach and a short walk into downtown with a variety of great shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay at The Saucer again!

Small house with a great location

Relatively small rental, with a large master with on suite and a tiny second bedroom. The real appeal here is the location as it is great. Property manager was a good communicator.
