We rented this large Beach House for a family reunion in mid-August. Our youngest is in college, so we had no children, but all of us loved everything about this rental: the house, the beach, the neighborhood, and Saint Joseph. We felt so lucky to have chosen a property in Saint Joseph where we drove to the Farmers Market on Saturday morning, concert on Friday night, and several microbreweries that interested our college-age grandchildren.
We brought kayaks and bean-bag toss for the beach. While we were there we kayaked to the river and watched two weddings at the beach bordering the river and Lake Michigan. We walked for miles north and could have walked to South Haven but time gave out. No matter, we were on vacation and loving every minute!
We rented two other vrbo properties in different states over the summer, and this property had the fewest rules, made it the easiest for us to check in and check out, and had parking for 5 vehicles. It is perfect for families or larger groups. The large backyard deck is a great place to hang out, and we did that daily.
