Beautiful home within walking distance to the beach and town. Had everything we needed and even a wagon with chairs and toys for the beach. Nice, large backyard that our dog enjoyed.

Nice getaway, very clean

This property was exceptionally clean and comfortable. It was located near the beach within easy walking distance. We would stay here again. I wish it had a firepit in the backyard, and we didnt realize it had a beach wagon and chairs for us to use. We had a great time!

About the host

Why they chose this property


We thoroughly clean and disinfect the house between guests.

This Lake Michigan Cottage is a wonderful beach rental. It's in a great spot-- A quick walk to the beach, town, and all the St Joseph attractions. Catch the Amtrak to Chicago for the day, if you want. Three queens and two twin beds offer a great combination of bedding to fit your group. This is an old cottage but it's very clean, comfortable, and easy to relax in. It feels like a home and not a sterile hotel. The backyard has a nice private feel to it.

What makes this property unique

Location. Location. Location. The house is below the bluff which means your toes will hit beach sand in mere minutes. It's great at the start of the day when you can stake out your perfect spot on the beach, AND when you're tired and ready to call it a day. Nobody likes to trudge back home at the end of a long day! Forgot the sunscreen on the kitchen table? No big deal, go back to the house, grab it, and come right back. Use the wagon to haul your chairs and belongings to the beach! Past guests agree -- you'll really appreciate this home's great location.
