Adorable, spacious well-decorated! Had everything you didn't even know you would need. Stayed in the fall, but would love to visit in summer just based on all the amenities in the garage for summer beach visits! Host was attentive and checked in to make sure we didn't need anything.

Perfect getaway for small extended family

We had 6 adults and 5 kids (ages 6 and under) and everyone loved the house. It was updated, clean, and had great spaces for each family to be separate as well as great common spaces. The private neighborhood seemed like it was in an odd area but was so perfect, quiet, and the small community pool was walking distance from every house. Super short drive to Silver Beach and into downtown Saint Joesph. Highly recommend!

We’ll be back!

Perfect for our family! Everything was clean, upgraded and with great attention to detail. The decor and games made it extra fun when not at the beach or pool! The kitchen grill had everything we needed for meals at home! Perfect size for our group - kids asked to come back every year!

Girls Trip

Our stay in St. Joseph was absolutely perfect! This beautiful home right on the river exceeded all expectations. The views were stunning, and the space comfortably accommodated all 10 of us girls from our book club. From the stylish, unique decor to the spotless cleanliness, every detail made us feel right at home.We loved the outdoor seating area—perfect for group dinners—and the cozy fire pit lounge where we spent hours chatting and relaxing. The entertainment options were also fantastic, keeping everyone happy and engaged. Truly a memorable getaway. Highly recommend for any group looking for a scenic, well-appointed, and inviting space!Definitely will be back! Thanks for being such a great and accommodating host for our group!

The best overall rental experience I've had

This was the perfect space for our multi-family get away! As soon as we arrived we were all pleasantly surprised. Pictures do not do this place justice, it is beautiful and the view is fantastic. We had all ages, 1 to 61, and even the children complimented the property and asked when we could come back and stay here again. We had everything we could've needed there including a crib and a pack n play which was such a pleasant surprise. We had 7 kids with us and none of them got bored thanks to the game room, garage, endless games, patio area and close proximity to the pool. Our beach trips were made easy with the cooler, wagons, beach chairs and toys that were there for us to use. I can't tell you how many times we all said "they have thought of everything!" during our stay. The host, Nick, was so responsive and helpful too. I have had a handful of less than ideal experiences with rentals and this one was absolutely wonderful. I would recommend this rental to anyone, I was even sending the link to people beside us at the beach! I know for sure my crew will be making plans to stay here for years to come!
