My family and I had an absolutely lovely time here! First of all, this was potentially the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed at - truly spotless (kudos to their cleaning crew!). The house is newly renovated with luxurious finishes that made our stay feel especially special. The private beach was gorgeous - clear water (no algae) and wasn't at all rocky. Yes, there are a lot of stairs to access the beach, but they were totally do-able for me as a middle-aged mom in average shape. Altogether a great house!!
Beautiful and comfortable home on the gorgeous bluff down to the lake!! Amazing breeze and fantastic sunsets every night! Stayed with our kids and grandkids for a week, and had a great time! Great outdoor deck area and firepit area! The steps are a LOT, but good exercise coming up each day! And you can take breaks at each landing. Beautiful beach--felt very private. House had wonderfully appointed kitchen, plenty of bath and beach towels, comfy beds...Would definitely recommend this property!
Beautiful well maintained and updated home on a gorgeous lake front property. Gorgeous sunsets!Beautiful private beach. Difficult but so worth it stairs down to and stair climb up from the beach. Would definitely stay here again.
We wanted a house with beach access on Lake Michigan and this lovely house delivered! We went with our 4 children and 2 grandchildren; everyone enjoyed themselves given the proximity to the beach and cute town of St. Joseph. This would not be a good fit for people with mobility issues given the number of stairs to the beach as indicated in the property description. We also only used bottled water as we were traveling with young children and there is concern for lead in the water in the area.
Beautiful property nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Fully stocked kitchen which was fantastic for our family vacation. Gorgeous sunsets and great outdoor space with plenty of seating. Beach was beautiful, the stairs were a lot but we all used it daily. Just pace yourself
We thoroughly enjoyed our brief 3 night stay. The house is so bright and beautifully decorated. When you walk in, the first floor has large windows which give you a great view of the lake. There is a lovely deck and a fire pit in the back. The house is in a great location. It is well stocked, quiet, and comfortable. We enjoyed walking down to the beach, saw one pretty sunset, and even had a warm enough day to go in the water. We wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
We have stayed at this property before and the view, the decor, the space, the beds, the private beach access, etc. made a repeat stay a no brainer. If you'd like to live in 'Architectural Digest' style and comfort for a few days as well as have an 11/10 view, this is the place for you. Highly recommended.
Fantastic views, comfortable beds, lots of room, well maintained, beach access, high end decor and appointments, etc. Absolutely nothing to fault. Let us put it this way, even your high end VRBOs donât have Le Creuset cookware and a Jura coffeemaker like this property did!
We had an amazing stay. The home is in immaculate condition and the host could not have been easier to work with. Super convenient location to "all things" Benton Harbor and St Joe. The views of the lake in the evening were breathtaking. We will absolutely stay here again when back in the area.
The property is BEAUTIFUL. House was gorgeous and clean and well stocked. Neighbors were lovely. View is breathtaking. Beach is beyond perfect. I literally cannot say enough good things about this rental. Also. Communication with host was quick as well. đŻđŻđŻ recommend! We wish we werenât leaving!
The property was perfect ! Great views spacious for our blended family! Great views , everything is there for you to cook, etc. the hosts knocked it out of the park!
Beautiful, recently renovated house with amazing views. Very clean upon arrival. Amount and steepness of stairs down to the lake not ideal, but nice public beach is less than a 5 minute drive. Cell reception at the house was not great, and there is no reception at the beach. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely visit again.
We really enjoyed staying at this house, the 180 degree views of the lake are beautiful! The beach is equally as wonderful! However the trek to and from the beach is no joke. The listing says 80-90 stairs, which is still quite a bit, however in reality itâs closer to 170. It would not be an easy trip for elderly or anyone with any handicap or physical restrictions. But like I said the beach was great once we were there. For the majority of the trip we had the entire beach to ourselves!
Where to begin!? This trip lived up to all of our expectationsâŠand then some! Everything about this property and trip was great! The host has clearly been intentional in a complete renovation of a property located on AMAZING Lake Michigan beaches with an amazing view. Everything about the inside of the house is new/renoâedâŠand when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. Appliances, dish/stem ware, bedding, TV, cabinets. You name it, itâs new. Owner/host did a great job!!
Now, on to the beach. Weâve vacationed many times to the 30A and Destin area and youâd be hard-pressed to tell a difference in the texture of the sand on the beach, so that was a huge win! The amazing bonus compared to Destin/30A area is we had the beach to ourselves! No competing for the front row of the beach, youâre not paying $200/day for umbrella and chairs on the front row, no smell of seaweed, no salt to contend with, no undertow to worry about with kidsâŠjust great sand, privacy, and the same sound of waves crashing on the shores.
Want to head into town? No worriesâŠa 6 minute drive and youâre downtown St. Joseph. Shops, ice cream (who doesnât love a Kilwinâs?!), and restaurants donât leave you wanting much more.
Interested in golf? Great! Thereâs the Jack Nicklaus course thatâs only 5â away. We played Lake Michigan Hills as well which was another nice course.
Beautiful sunsets overlooking the lakeâŠagain, hard to say enough nice things about this property and our experience. Weâll definitely be back!
