Our stay in Benton Harbor was much needed and so close to Lake Michigan. The house was spacious, clean and in a quiet neighborhood. The host Kelly was very easy to communicate with.

Great location

The location of this ranch home is wonderful. Quiet neighborhood with walk/bike path across the street. Just minutes away from St. Joe beaches and lighthouses. Our family had a great time, and the grandkids (and adults) enjoyed the pac-man arcade game!

Great stay! Loved all of the extras….beach umbrella, beach chairs, beach cart, beach towels and sand toys! You really thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The toy/game closet and arcade game were a big hit with my grandson! Thank you for making a chill getaway for us!!!

Great hosts, house and location

Our family of four stayed here for four nights and had a wonderful time. The house was clean and in a great location. We loved the close proximity to the beaches and the binder of recommendations and things to do. Thanks to that binder, we discovered some new favorites and things to do that we wouldn’t have tried otherwise. Kelly was very communicative and the check in and out process was super easy. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Amazing property in Benton Harbor Area

We stayed here for 2 days on a family visit and this place was just perfect. It’s nice cozy place very close to rocky gap beach and silver beach as well as Saint Joseph Downtown. There was a binder with all info about local restaurants!

Long Weekend Getaway

Our family loved staying here while visiting Michigan for the first time. We loved how close it was to everything (beaches/parks/shopping/etc), only about a 5 minute drive! The house was perfect for our family of 4. Kelly and her husband were great hosts!

This house was very nice for my small family's stay! The house was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Plenty of kitchen stuff (dishes, cookware, etc), beach chairs/umbrella/beach toys & beach towels. The PacMan arcade game was a huge hit with my son! The beds and pillows were very comfortable. It was a great location, just a few minute drive to two beaches we visited. The back yard was really nice although we didn't end up using much as we did so much adventuring in the area! I would definitely enjoy staying here again if/when we come back to this area!!

Great home away from home

The house is on a very quiet street with east access to the Benton harbor and St Joe attractions. It was super easy to get there, get access, and settle in. The owners were very responsive and the home was very clean.
