I spent a month here for a job nearby. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood just off Blue Star Hwy which makes it easy to get around the area. The host was very easy to contact and accommodating.
This property was exactly what I needed for my situation. It was perfectly located, clean, included everything I needed to have a comfortable stay, and the host was great to work with.
Long weekend with my two youngest boys (14 & 7). Everything was perfect, clean and fully stocked. The area was beautiful and safe. Having our own "secret" beach was amazing! Very family friendly. Just what we needed to recharge and spend quality time together! St Joe was a short trip down the road. Definitely will be back again! Thank you!
My sister and I stayed here while we were enjoying a sisters weekend in SW Michigan. This was a great cozy location close to lots of great activities in the St. Joseph/Benton Harbor area.
This was my kids 4th time staying here and they cant wait to go back. We love how quiet the neighborhood is (you dont even notice the shop next door). The beach is quiet and beautiful and the proximity to things to do makes for easy outings. We will definitely be back!
We came to town for the transitioning of my mother. John was very accommodating and compassionate regarding our situation during this time. The location was well cared for and we diligently ensured that we kept the property in the pristine condition that we found it. This rental provided everything that we needed and any additional needs were conveniently located at a nearby convenience store. John was available on demand and very attentive with communications. We want to thank John from the bottom of our hearts for his stellar hospitality!
We would stay here again!
I gave four stars on location only because of it being by a very small commercial business.
It is a very nice property and well maintained. The beds are comfy as is the living room furniture. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, glasses , etc. the screened front porch is delightful!
Thanks!!
Cozy, clean house. Great location between St Joe and South Haven. Private beach is cool, but it is a long walk down many stairs with a short ladder at end to get to beach. Beautiful walk down to beach, but wouldn't be able to take much with you. Thanks for everything!
Nice and clean property!! It had everything we need for my husband and i, and my two adult kids. We loved the location and although there was a factory next door, we were not bothered by it. The best part was having the beach so close. We enjoyed the private beach, and the walk was not bad at all! We washed dishes manually , on our last day we couldn't find dishwasher soap so we only loaded the dish washer as we run out of time. The laundry room was very convenient. The property is so close to my mother in law , so this will be our spot for future visits!! Highly recommend it!
The house had a great feel to it. Smelled good, was incredibly clean and easy to find. Everything was as depicted including being a little loud with road noise and the business next door, but I believe that was in the description or other reviews.
Communicating with John was easy. He was kind and gracious with my needs. I'd absolutely stay again and hopefully bring some people with me.
The property would be great for a family. I was so busy enjoying the area, I didn't get to the private beach till the last day. The stairs were a little much for me, but I saw a black squirrel when i was exploring and that was worth the visit!
100% would recommend.
We enjoyed staying in this charming cottage with screened porch. It has easy access to the beach as well as an easy ride to Coloma or Benton Harbor/St. Joe.
Drove up for a wedding. This place was very cute with a great porch both front and back. Felt very private with no noise from the business next door but it was a holiday weekend. My kids were too big for the twin beds. I knew they would be so I brought my own blow up bed but it broke. We tried to use the fold away bed but they complained that it was super uncomfortable and preferred the floor. I would suggest a roll away bed and or new mattress for the couch. The map to the beach access was a bit confusing so I think the stairs we found were not the ones we were supposed to use but once you find it, itâs just beautiful. I would definitely rent again. Thanks for the coffee because we forgot to bring ours!
Quiet neighborhood with fun walk to really cool beach. Short drives to Silver Beach and South Beach. Clean, and had everything we needed. Great price too. Thanks!
Loved our stay, rented property three times this summer. Had a great time every time. The beach and lake where beautiful. My family had a great summer spending time on Lake Michigan. I would definitely rent this property again. See you next year.
Cute little house, We enjoy our stay there it was small but you have everything and space for everybody , it was clean and the owner was really responsible . thank you again we we have a lot of fun this Labor Day weekend.
Everything was perfect except the âprivate beachâ they advertise. Yes there is access, but it is not an easy walk down to this beachâŠthen you have to be able to get from the path/steps to the actual beach. We did not attempt to go any closer than
the path. There is also a small factory next to the house, but they are fairly quiet and close around 4pm daily.
We loved the screened in porch. The proximity to the beach was very nice. The beds could be more comfortable. There is a business next door that starts early. Phone calls can wake you.
I have several vacation properties in the area and also have a major Planned Unit Development that I'm preparing for groundbreaking. I am a licensed realtor in Illinois and spend most of my time in Chicago when I'm not watching the waves in St. Joe!
We are just a very short walk down Maple Lane to a fabulous neighborhood beach that hardly anyone else knows about. We think it's one of the finest beaches you'll find anywhere on Lake Michigan!
