Nice house and great location

Beautiful home within walking distance to the beach and town. Had everything we needed and even a wagon with chairs and toys for the beach. Nice, large backyard that our dog enjoyed.

Nice getaway, very clean

This property was exceptionally clean and comfortable. It was located near the beach within easy walking distance. We would stay here again. I wish it had a firepit in the backyard, and we didnt realize it had a beach wagon and chairs for us to use. We had a great time!

Location can’t be beat. Home is well kept. Upstairs got hot but host promptly coordinated installing a window unit and it cooled down quickly. Kids loved the train track and it turned out to be more of a feature than a nuisance! Would consider staying here again!

Ideal Family Beach Getaway

Clean and cozy, home design allows for lots of room to spread out for 3 adults and 5 kids. Well supplied, very nice kitchen. Appreciated the thoughtful touch of a basket of books for kids and little kid size table. Quiet and peaceful at night. Loved proximity to beach and town, was always cool and refreshing inside! Great outdoor space on the front and back porches with sufficient seating. Convenient parking.

The property was perfect for our family! We have 5 adult children plus 2 of their significant others and a 17 month old grandson. The backyard was always shaded which was so nice for how hot it was outside. There were plenty of bath towels, toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, dish soap, garbage bags, spices, sugar, coffee, mustard, ketchup, etc. It really is a 5 minute walk to the beach and not much traffic. The owner was extremely responsive to all of my questions. Shops, restaurants and bars were a 10 min. walk. We would stay there again.

Great house and location

The property is only 2 short blocks to the beach (can see the beach from the corner the house is on), and an easy walk to the downtown shopping area. Was nicely set up and had plenty of space for our group of 4 adults and 1 child.

Why they chose this property


We thoroughly clean and disinfect the house between guests.

This Lake Michigan Cottage is a wonderful beach rental. It's in a great spot-- A quick walk to the beach, town, and all the St Joseph attractions. Catch the Amtrak to Chicago for the day, if you want. Three queens and two twin beds offer a great combination of bedding to fit your group. This is an old cottage but it's very clean, comfortable, and easy to relax in. It feels like a home and not a sterile hotel. The backyard has a nice private feel to it.

What makes this property unique

Location. Location. Location. The house is below the bluff which means your toes will hit beach sand in mere minutes. It's great at the start of the day when you can stake out your perfect spot on the beach, AND when you're tired and ready to call it a day. Nobody likes to trudge back home at the end of a long day! Forgot the sunscreen on the kitchen table? No big deal, go back to the house, grab it, and come right back. Use the wagon to haul your chairs and belongings to the beach! Past guests agree -- you'll really appreciate this home's great location.
