About this property

All The Waters Retro Home on Lake Michigan- PRIVATE BEACH-Large, shaded backyard

Perfect sunset views from atop our bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, with breathtaking views. Walk down our nicely maintained switchback trail to your own private Lake Michigan white sandy beach. There are some weekdays where you will be the only people in sight!

Bluff walk is a few minutes up and down. 15-20 steps at top and bottom with a nature trail in between. Beautiful with some handrails and trees to grip but a moderate difficulty. We maintain it well but it does shift. Kids and healthy adults will handle it no problem but you won't want to go from the beach to the house several times a day. You will likely get a bit winded coming up. Still better than the straight stairs some folks have. Note: beach chairs and umbrellas not provided so please bring your own beach accommodations.

Stylish retro inspired time-capsule home has 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, and a bunk room. Ample parking. Large backyard with mature trees to shade from the afternoon sun. Large trampoline and an octoball court for the kids (see waiver). Weber propane grill on large concrete patio. Campfire pit and more seating on second concrete patio. Hot and cold outdoor shower for after-beach clean-up. 5 Roku TVs and high speed WiFi. New Whirlpool washer/dryer. New Dishwasher. Front row sunset views that never get old!

We are 6 minutes away from downtown St. Joe, one of Michigan's featured beach towns, with plenty of events and activities.Watch the boats come in and out of the harbor and witness one of the last working rotating train bridges. Great art fairs and farmer's markets at the bluff. Lots of great restaurants and antique stores up and down the Red Arrow Highway. Explore South Haven about 20 minutes up the road without the high prices of renting there.

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
