Beautiful Large Home
Beautiful home on beautiful property. Jacuzzi was awesome. The home was clean and many kitchen items we were not use to having at other rental homes. It was a great place to have a girls weekend!

Great getaway but plan to wash your bed before you sleep in it.
This is a nice property with everything you need to relax. The hot tub was nice but it created a ton of foam which was weird for a hot tub. The beach was accessible by crossing a busy road but we didn’t mind that. The wood fireplaces were a great touch and there were plenty of places to lounge. The kitchen was pretty well equipped. The cleaning though— left a lot to be desired. We found candy wrappers in our bedroom, indicating it had not been vacuumed at all and it was clear they only washed the bed sheets as the duvets were dirty and stained.

Lovely getaway in the woods
This is our second time staying at this property and we enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for two families (4 adults and 5 kids total), able to spread out and relax. Easy walk through the woods to the public beach (as noted you have to cross what is essentially a freeway to get to the site so while it is a short walk I wouldn't recommend with small kids), the woods are lovely, good amenities and nice cozy ambience in the home. The beds and bedding are not the most comfortable or updated and there are signs of wear/etc. in the bathrooms but the value for a home so close to the beach and absolutely great communication and ease of checkin balance that out. Also so grateful to get to bring our dogs. Highly recommend nearby Jollay Orchards for a fall visit too. There is not much that is super close to the home (not much of a town to speak of and limited dining options in Coloma) but an easy drive to St. Joseph for more restaurants and stores (and we did find local pizza delivery).

Great spot for families!
Communication with the host was prompt, thorough, and above all, friendly. The home had several board games for the kids and several areas to gather. It was in close proximity to several beaches and was easy to find. If I were to offer any area of improvement, I would share that the house could have really used new bedding on most of the beds. The fitted sheets were very lose/worn, the comforters needed to be laundered, and the few pillows were very flat/old.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy visiting other homes and especially those on or near Lake Michigan. On Valentines' Day 2019, we were on a 'date night', heading into St. Joe and spotted an open house. It was love at first sight! We enjoy hospitality and providing a space for people to gather with their families or friends and create memories and this house provides the perfect space!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this home the moment we opened the door! The space opens up into a vaulted ceiling with skylights and large windows span the back and sides, overlooking a wooded ravine. You have the feeling of being in a serene 'treehouse!' The space is open and great for entertaining. It is a short, wooded walk to a terrific local beach park that is kid- and dog-friendly. We love the three season porch downstairs where you can sit in the hot tub and hear the waves of Lake Michigan. (You can see a sliver of Lake MI from the upper level during winter; we're that close!)
