Inside clean. Outside needs updating. No place for kids to play outside. Plenty of beds, linen and towels and other amenities for our family. Hostess very helpful when we had questions with immediate response. Great to stay for fun days at the beach 3 blocks from Silver Beach on Lake Michigan.
We loved the accessibility to downtown, the restaurants, the shops (Kilwins and Full of Crepe were favorites) And also to the beach. We could walk everywhere and enjoy everything thing St Joe offers. We were a large family group with a lot of different ages, from an infant to retirees. Everyone enjoyed the house. Very clean with enough room for our group of 14. We will be back!
The house was absolutely perfect for a girls weekend. Lots of bedrooms and plenty of room to hang out. We couldn't have asked for a better location, we were close to shops and restaurants .. didn't need to use the car all weekend! Highly recommend!!
Great location!!! Short walk to downtown and the silver beach pizza restaurant!!!A little further walk to silver beach and or the piers!!! Great restaurants and bars within walking distance. We parked our car Thursday night and didnât need to use our car until we left on Sunday. We would definitely stay here again!
Great location. Pretty little park across the street and just one block from downtown or the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. House was comfortable and had room enough for 11 family members.
Great place in St Joseph MI for a family gathering.
My siblings and our families had a great holiday weekend here. The house was big enough to give everyone their own sleeping space, and the living area was great for gathering as a family.
Location close to downtown and silver beach was a plus- we could walk everywhere we needed to go.
The house was great!! It's location gave us so much to do in our spare time! Kids went to the Children's museum. The fall colors were wonderful! I would definitely stay again.
The kitchen was well equipped. I made breakfast and had everything I needed.
The only negative I have is that there is only 1 bathroom upstairs for 4 bedrooms. It was okay for us because we were not at capacity, but it might be an issue for others.
We were looking for a place that was both close to the bluff and downtown. This was perfect. Lots of room, comfortable and a great location. Communicating with the host was very easy. She answered all of our questions quickly. Great stay!
Very nice historic home. Itâs a short walk to shops, restaurants, Library, childrenâs Museum, splash pad, and beach. It was perfect for our family reunion vacation.
This was truly a magical place. Check in was easy the house was clean and as expected. Also, very well stocked. Most of all the location canât be beat.
We had a girls weekend. There were 9 of us. This house is perfect for a large group. The location is walking distance to EVERYTHING. The beds are super comfortable. An added surprise is the first floor bedroom (#2) is an en-suite. I would definitely recommend this property. I will definitely return the next time I find myself in St. Joseph. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
We stayed at this home for 5 nights with a large family group, ages 3-68. We absolutely loved it! The house is very old in an established neighborhood one block from downtown and one block from the lake view. We walked to the beach every day and loved how close it was to everything - we barely needed the car during our trip. The house had a few minor issues (again, old house) but Rebecca was responsive and accommodating and fixed all issues to our satisfaction. We had a simply lovely stay and will definitely be back.
The home was advertised as âNo pets allowed,â When we got there the cleaning person was just leaving and commented that the prior guests had a large husky and she tried to get all the dog hair up, but wasnât certain she got all of it. I looked up the listing Ava sure enough, it stated âno pets allowed.â Cleaner said many guests bring their dogs to this home.
I communicated to the host that we booked the home under the assumption that no pets were allowed. Then I sent photos of the dog hair EVERYWHERE. The first night, sitting in the couch in the living room, I felt my asthma start kicking in. TBF, it also could have been that it was a 100 year old home and the basement where you need to go down to put the towels in the wash is old and musty so Iâm sure thereâs mold going on as wellâwhich is to be expected in a home this old.
Host did give us a $100 cleaning fee refund.
Home was not as well furnished as we are used to with other VRBOâs. No salt, pepper, or any spices. No aluminum foil, waxed paper, ziplock bags, leftover containers. Many light bulbs missing.
Listing states fireplace; it was actually just a piece of furniture with an electric fireplace for show onlyâno heat given off and in my mind, NOT a fireplace.
Listing also stated there was a grill. The grill was in the attached garage and looked like it hadnât seen the light of day in years. No way we were putting our food on it.
The location is 10/10 but otherwise we wouldâve passed on this rental.
A large group of friends stayed here based on the number of rooms, beds, and short distance to the cute downtown area and the lake. We all enjoyed our stay. This house has a lot of charm and is on the older side, but being over 160 years old you have to expect settling in the house. I would stay here again!
