About this property

Newer Beachfront Contemporary, Unparalleled Views

This stunning 3 level contemporary single family home was completed the end of 2015. Everything is new! House is located on a bluff with gorgeous views of Lake Michigan from virtually every room in the house. Property includes 200ft of private beach (NOTE: there are 225 stairs down to beach). 7 bedrooms (1 bunk room), 5 1/2 baths, 2 separate entertainment areas. Perfect for 2 or 3 families. Kitchen and main living area are on the 2nd floor with a HUGE wrap around deck with spectacular views. There are two 3rd floor Master suites with huge bathrooms and their own 3rd floor deck. Sunset viewing and fires on the beach a must!

Our house has the best of both worlds...private lakefront get away from the hustle and bustle, but it is only 5 miles north of downtown St. Joseph. St. Joe is a GREAT harbor town with nice restaurants, adorable shops, and an old-fashioned dime store. Very family friendly with a indoor merry-go-round and hands-on kid's museum steps from the beach. World class golf, vineyards/wine tasting, and u-pick apples and peaches. Come check it out!!

Best Family Vacation Ever

We loved everything about this awesome house and property! Even the many stairs down to the beach are worth what awaits you at the bottom. The beach was wonderful and our children and grandchildren had the time of their lives. We are grateful for this time together!

Great Stay!

We came for a long weekend for a milestone birthday celebration. Ten people, three generations. The house was amazing. Really spectacular. Beware, the beach was very pretty, but the stairs to the beach are steep and uneven. It can also get windy on the deck, making grilling a challenge.

Amazing stay with a beautiful view

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property. The house was well-equipped and even better than it looked in the photos. The view can't be beat, and we especially loved paddle boarding and beach time during the day and bonfires looking out over the water in the evening. Tienne was a wonderful host - thank you so much for your flexibility and communication during planning. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to return!

Perfect 4-Generation Family Reunion House

From two-year old twins to Great Grandma Joyce (90), everyone enjoyed the gorgeous lake views and roomy kitchen/dining area. The teenagers had fun with the stand up paddle boarding and kayaking and lots of beautiful beach. Great Grandma shared a bathroom with my husband and I but our three sons and their wives had their own bathroom as did the teenagers which made everyone happy. A great time had by all!

Best view

They offer a very beautiful modern house, and the best view of the Lake Michigan. The house is very clean and we really appreciated the white impeccable linen! Kitchen is well equipped. Fire pit was great, and has a best location on the property. We enjoyed the private beach and the beach chairs every day, despite the number of steps. We spent most of our time on the beautiful big terrace with enough sitting for the whole grup to eat together. The owner responded very quickly to our questions. Everyone was happy with this property and we are all planning to return next year. Thank you for renting it!!

Top notch

We were impressed! There were some things that need to be addressed. Ice maker does not work on the refrigerator, no screens on top floor bedroom sliding doors, no screens on sliding doors on 1st or 2nd level. The starter on the grill does not work, toilet seats are too small on some of the bathrooms. Overall this is a beautiful place! The landscaping is top notch and the beach is second to none. We definitely enjoyed our stay!

Unreal

We stayed here for my sister’s bachelorette in March. The pictures on the site did not do it justice. Each morning we woke up to picturesque snow over the lake and on the trees. Driving through the neighborhood felt like a holiday car commercial. The house itself was able to comfortably sleep all 13 girls, give breakout space for the girls to check in with their families, and a large kitchen and living room that was perfect for the group. Would 1000% stay there again - I can’t imagine what this place would be like in the summer season! The only qualm we had was that some of the soaps were expired and the floors needed to have been mopped before our stay, but these are easy fixes that didn’t impact the overall quality of our stay.

Fantastic place!

This was out second time at this place (last time in 2019), and this time the lake was not so high up there was no beach - we had a HUGE PRIVATE beach all to ourselves and it was wonderful!! Everything is provided for the house and the beach - beach chairs, umbrellas, a beautiful Kayak and paddle boards. The water was shallow far out - perfect for young grandkids. We were 7 children and 7 adults and had plenty of room and bedrooms and bathrooms. Even the 2 year old walked up the long staircase to the beach - we got our exercise in every day. The grandparents were able to handle it as well. So much is perfect here - the gorgeous view of Lake Michigan out of the huge windows on the lake side, the beautiful sunsets (even though the haze from the fires in Canada dimmed some of them), the back yard for the kids to spread out and play, and the basketball court across the street. Two washers and dryers to keep up with kid's clothes and beach towels - (these are also provided). Thank you to a responsive and wonderful owner for a vacation place our grandsons want us to buy!!

Lake Michigan 2025

Outstanding property with all the amenities. Plenty of beach toys, chairs, towels, umbrellas and the like. The house was spectacular with sleeping spaces and bathrooms for everyone. Very impressed with the utensils and dishes in the kitchen (they had everything one could need). Very clean, well-appointed with backup linens, bath towels and supplies. Allowed 3 family's plenty of together and alone space. Only drawback was the steps to the beach for the little ones.

Great family reunion

12 cousins from 6 different states gathered for a reunion week at this wonderful home! Pictures are very accurate but really don’t do it justice. We had mild temps in the high 70’s - low 80’s, good for shirtsleeves. Sunsets were spectacular. The kitchen was among the best stocked of any VRBO I’ve experienced - this includes spices and baking supplies, 4 high quality cookie sheets and other cookware, plus lots of prep and serving pieces. Ample seating inside and on the deck was much appreciated. Puzzles and games abounded. (I hadn’t played Yahtzee since I was a kid!)The place was clean and sparkly for our arrival! The beds were made well and stayed tucked in at the bottom. Plenty of cleaning supplies were available. Our host/owner communicated promptly and provided excellent before and after instructions via PDF prior to our arrival. I would love to stay here again.
