リトルコテージバイザシー

Dave and Chris met nearby, raised their two boys all over the US, and retired to St. Joseph in 2017. They bought this house in 2004 with the plan to retire to it and rented it as a vacation home for families to come to in the meantime. It’s been so much fun having families come that they retired into a much smaller house so they could keep this one as a vacation rental. (Since they are avid sailors, they aren’t home much during the summer anyway.) This neighborhood is a wonderful old historic neighborhood; it works great for summer vacations because it is between the town and the beach, and because it’s laid out nicely for family fun.

Vacation rentals on the beach are very expensive, and the hike up the bluff to town can be tough. This cottage is ideally situated between the town and the beach so you have the best of both worlds. The City of St. Joseph hasn’t allowed any new short-term vacation rentals in many years out of desire to preserve the historic charm of the city neighborhoods, so we feel privileged to be able to offer our home - in the old, quiet, historic neighborhood - for rental and we do our best to rent to those who want the same things. The house is furnished with our own much-loved family things.

We furnished the home for ourselves to live in. We hope it makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. Many vacation rentals feel like hotels. We hope our cottage feels like a place you always wanted to stay. This is NOT your ordinary commercial rental. Other rentals are newer, more modern and updated, with nicer stuff. Ours is homey and traditional and comfortable - just the way we like it. (And that lets us keep our rates as low as possible.)
