About this property

Lake Lovers Delight!

We are looking for a 3 to 6 month rental right now and then a month-to-month lease through April 2025 Very willing to negotiate!
For all of you COOK employees...We LOVE you! please give me a call P+AAPJTPGJ and I will work with you.
This VERY charming 3 bdrm, 2 bath well appointed home is just 125 FEET from beach access to Lake Michigan which as our guests you have permission to use! There is no public parking for this beach so chances are you may be the only one there! This is truly a diamond in the rough. There is a small dune to get to the beach.
The wrap around deck off the sun room is the perfect place to enjoy a meal or morning cup of coffee. It's a peaceful setting to read, watch the playful squirrels, wild turkeys, fox, hawks, deer and many bird species or just relax. We have recently added an attached large screened in porch that is wonderful as well, especially for those lazy rainy days.

There is not 1 but 2 fire pits on the property, perfect for roasting hot dogs and making s'mores.
Or just curl up with a book or watch cable TV indoors.
It's a wonderful location, not only to beautiful Lake Michigan but for many wonderful day outings SW Michigan has to offer. The list is countless...wineries, orchards, shopping, carousels, beaches and more, tons of fun for everyone!
"Pure Michigan", come visit...

Oh shucks, This is my first reveiw less than 5 stars. If only you would have communicated with me your needs before or during your visit I would have done my very best to accommodate! Typically we do not supply groceries like zip lock bags or foil. We do supply TP, soaps, paper towels. We even threw in a bottle of Honey Bubbles sparkling moscato AND s'more fixings! I guess I can't please everybody but I certainly try! :)

Lovely home

Very nice and clean home. Beautiful grounds and deck. There was also a large screened in room that was absolutely perfect! We liked St Joe and the area. The beach left a little to be desired. It was very rocky and rather small. Overall a great time and the owner was very nice and accomodating.

We do work HARD to accomodate! This year especially due to shortage of help from people making more money on unemployment! This is a year to think of others and pay it forward as best we can for the next guests. Beach is a beautiful word this year as it almost completely eroded away last year. Many people came close to loosing their homes. We are grateful to get to the magnificent Lake Michigan to enjoy the nice warm water right now. Myself personally I LOVE to beach comb! Hunting for beach glass, crinoids, petoskys and swimming are a most relaxing way to spend a summer day. The public beaches have all the ammentities including tons of people but I'd take privacy, my own personal out door shower and my own personal toity any day! Michigan ROCKS! :)

Perfect!

The house and location were perfect for our party of 7! Caryn was very helpful and made the whole process very easy. The house itself is lovely and sits in a beautiful quiet area. We saw deer and wild turkeys in our yard! The yard is nice size and allows space for kids to run around. And the screened in porch quickly became a favorite spot for the adults! The beach access is as close as advertised but the hike down/up is a bit steep. But - once we got used to it the cove provided the perfect place for almost undisturbed beach time and beautiful sunsets. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave!!

Nice cottage

This was a nice cottage in Stevensville. Unfortunately, the beach that can be walked to is still a few blocks away, and in 2019 is barely a beach, but instead a steep sand dune with no flat area to even fit a chair or towel, and dangerous to climb up. It was a drag to have to drive to the beach, but the township park was less than a mile away and it was great and empty. Outdoor shower was key to get the sand off and we used the fire pit to roast marshmallows every night- the owner even gave us firestarters and a lighter and the had firewood at the house. There is a great breezeway in the house to sit, relax and read as well. We had a great time there, the owner is a total sweetheart, and the house was well kept, I just thought it was a little over-priced for the location being so far from a usable beach.

Shoot I wish I would have known you didn't see the beach path caddy corner 125 from our driveway! I thought you knew it was there, bummer! That being said yes the Lake is at very high levels this summer. Our little cove beach is almost nonexistent except when the waves are out of the East. Someone has put in "make shift" stairs with a rope to get to the beach. It helps to be agile. Come back soon and I'll show you our beach access very close!

Relaxing night away

Caryn’s place is a dream! We had a quick overnight away and packed in so much. The home is exceptionally landscaped and maintained. Beach access was a quick 5 minute walk and opened up to a nice private cove. We had a lovely time relaxing by a fire and enjoyed the s’mores that Caryn provided. The linens were so fresh and clean and bed was super cozy. We went to Tosi’s for dinner and highly recommend it. This area of Michigan is truly a hidden gem with a lot to offer. We will for sure be staying at this home again :)

Wonderful, clean home

The house was wonderful. One of the cleanest, well-supplied rentals I have ever stayed in. We were all comfortable and refreshed during our two night stay. We are already talking about coming back next summer! The beach access around the corner was a nice addition. I wouldn't plan on it for your full beach experience - at least while we were there, the water levels were very high, the little beachfront there was was very rocky, and high seaweed levels meant we didn't want to go in. We drove 15 minutes to Warren Dunes to go to the beach there.

Thank you for being very considerate guests! That was very sweet that you left extrakindling for the next guests :). Yes...Lake Michigan ebbs and flows. Many people especially those from other states not on the Great Lakes don't understand the amazing force of the water. It's like an "unsalted ocean". The sand is always shifing and moving. Sometimes there is a sandbar that reaches 50 yards sometimes not. We are truely at the mercy of mother nature. We feel very lucky to have beach access only 125 feet from our driveway with no public parking or restrooms to not attract the crowds. The state and public beaches are beautiful and very crowded. You get to experience what ever you are in the mood for in this gem of a location! Thank you again, looking forward to having you back! Caryn :)

Great getaway to Lake Michigan

The property was very clean with ample towels, bath tissue, and toiletries provided. Only a 15 minute drive to downtown Saint Joseph so we felt we could get to shopping or restaurants easily if wanted, or be away from it all when wanted. The neighbors behind are a little close (and not very friendly), but the spacious front yard was very private and a great place for fires and making s’mores. The beach access is down a dune, so steep (as advertised). Most in our group handled it just fine, but a couple with physical limitations did not attempt it. Kids enjoyed passing time with the variety of games supplied. We had 3 generations at the cottage, and everyone was comfortable and had a great stay!

Thank you for being wonderful guests! So glad you had a "great" stay! Thank goodness the rear neighbors no longer own the home and some very sweet people will be taking over as soon as they vacate. We hear very soon!! YAY! Our beach is much bigger than it was last year as Lake Michigan is down over a foot. The dune is getting less and less steep with all the foot traffic going over it to the pretty private baeach. There is no private parking at this beach and no public restrooms so it's only available to home owners in the area. You're right... it takes some physical fitness to climb up and down. I am 64 years old and love the work out. And yes... close to much larger more busy beaches in St Joe, Silver Beach and Bridgman, Waco Beach and of course the Great Warren Dunes!! Hope you come back soon! Caryn :)

Beautiful property

This was a beautiful property and we enjoyed it very much. Short walk to the beach and the dune on the beach was a hit with the kids. The owner was very responsive and helped us quite a bit. My only complaint would be that the owner seemed to keep a close eye on what we were up to stopping by for various reasons every day during our stay and staying around the property. I get it as you never know who you have in your personal home, but a little more privacy would have been nice. Overall though it was a really fantastic weekend.

Ruined weekend

Before our stay, I received a text from the host asking me to call her. She said the last group was “wild,” the police got called and she was afraid that her neighbors were going to complain about any noise. This was followed by a text informing me that she would be “stopping by” the house on the only full day of our rental to drop off “supplies” in the garage. The reason for the neighbors’ irritation became obvious upon arrival because the house is completely surrounded by adjacent houses and lacks any privacy when sitting on the deck. The host was at the property when the first guests arrived and made derogatory remarks about her neighbors. The Saturday of our rental, around 7:30pm, the host texted me to move our car so that she could access the garage, showed up to the property, and requested that we help her unload her vehicle that contained yard fertilizer. This interruption was followed by a text message to me in which unsubstantiated accusations were made against me and my guests that stated, “When stopped by to drop off yard chemicals in the garage I heard some loud hooting and hollering And I heard that you upset the neighbors by using the steps on their private property. This is not what you conveyed to me in our earlier correspondence how you behaved. You are putting [me] in a position of [losing] my permit Tone it down.” In reality, the alleged “hooting and hollering” was laughter from us playing games on the deck; something that should be expected when renting your home to 8 people who are together in a close area. The accusation that we “upset the neighbors” was equally puzzling. To access the beach there is an easement over a neighbor’s property that is clearly contentious because the host left an email on the counter prior to our arrival from a neighbor expressing his what seems like annoyance with people crossing the easement. At the beach two of the guests who are pregnant asked a different neighbor if they could use the stairs to get back to the top. We did not “use” the stairs without permission. We were also charged a fee for rust stains on the carpet which were clearly from the legs of the chair in the bedroom. They were framed as “lipstick” stains even though nobody was wearing lipstick nor does lipstick produce two perfect round equally distanced dots on the carpet exactly where chairs legs fall. Now instead of focusing on my upcoming wedding, I am writing this review and disputing erroneous damage charges.

Honesty is the best policy. We take great pride in taking care of our home and our guests. We do not know what the stains were and luckily our wonderful carpet cleaner got them out so our next guests could have a nice clean home to walk into as did you. When you booked in March you booked for 5 adults. Bringing 8 adults and 6 cars at the last minute put me on the spot. The listing explains this is a quiet residential neighborhood. All the very best to you in your marriage.

Chicago getaway! Close to dunes! Great yard and very clean!

This house is located in a beach neighborhood with walk to (what looks like) a community path to a dune that you can climb down to the beach. It’s a steep climb, but it didn’t bother us. We were the only ones there for the sunset which was great. The kids loved boulder there. Close to warren dunes and grand mere state park(we loved). Very close to public beach and downtown at Joseph. House very clean and other older, everything looked new and in good condition. My kids loved the fire pit and playing in the backyard! Overall great stay!

Great comfort and beauty!

The six of us (my husband, grown kids and partners) completely enjoyed our three nights at Lake Lovers Delight. This property is lovely, super clean, and comfortable, with plenty of spaces to relax, from breakfast on the wrap-around porch, outdoor grilling for dinner, late night circles around the fire pit, and spotless bedrooms and comfortable sleep. We loved having the beach access right across the street. There is a steep dune to climb up and down, and just a small beach area, but the private cove is beautiful! It was perfect for swimming and taking in gorgeous sunsets each night. Caryn was a totally responsive and terrific host. This is a really wonderful place!

What an Amazing Stay!

If I vacationed in SW Michigan more frequently, I would seriously consider not giving this place a review because I would be afraid that you would take the days which I would want. The house was everything which I was looking for in a rental. The owner, Caryn comes from a real estate background so she knows what renters not only need but what they want as well. Additionally, she knows how to stage as well. What you get with this residence is 'WoW' followed by 'WoW'. There is a secluded beach (with no rocks) literally just around the corner and Caryn has stocked, beach chairs and some beach toys to bring with you in case you need them. When you return from the beach, there is an outdoor shower for getting the sand off or showering if you are less modest than I am. There is a fantastic deck in the backyard with a grill which I did not get a chance to take advantage of. The place exceeded every single one of my expectations and I could not be more pleased with my experience staying there. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to stay at. When the word gets out and it is nearly impossible to book you will be sorry that you did not stay here when you had a chance. ***** 5 stars all the way!!!

About the host

Hosted by Caryn Gifford 702-275-8745

Host profile image

I was born and raised in St Joseph Michigan, moved out west to Colorado in 1977 to teach snow skiing. Met my husband, got married had 2 daughters, moved further west to Boulder City Nevada in 1988 for the construction boom. I came back to the SW MI area 14 years ago to visit my cousin who just moved back to the area and fell back in LOVE with the area again! It didn't take much to convince my husband to purchase this home as he is a native Californian and has always loved the water. We plan to retire to the area and until then hope you will be our guests in this little piece of paradise, we call home.

Why they chose this property

Only 90 miles from Chicago, yet a world away with good ole fashioned mid-west hospitality! 1/2 mile north of the famous, (not in great shape), Chalets and on 1/2 acre of treed, mowed lawn :). It is like stepping back in time the minute you arrive. That 'just breath' feeling and across the street from beach access!! The perfect getaway for any couple or family and an extremely wonderful solo retreat. A must see!

What makes this property unique

Lake Michigan World class white sand beaches :) Amazing produce and flowers grown in this area! Several road side stands and farmers markets.
The fall leaves are spectacular and the winter is calm and peaceful.
Many Winerys in the area to visit.
Located between Bit of Swiss Bakery and the Lake! Very close to the famous Tosi's and Grand Mere restaurants. Excellent location.
Life does not get better than this!
