You are only:
1 min to Harbor Shores Golf Course (named 2024 Michigan Golf Course of the Year)
2 min to Rocky Gap Beach
6 min to Silver Beach and St Joseph's fabulous downtown

This home has enough room for 5-6 people with 1300 square feet of living space and it can fit 3 cars in the driveway.

Here's what you may not love:
The house has only one bathroom.
This is a cape cod style from the 1940s and the stairs are not very wide. Due to the nature of cape cod styles, the upstairs is warmer during the day. However, once the sun goes down, the upstairs rooms are very comfortable. In order to improve air circulation, we provide fans.

    What a wonderful place to stay! This adorably decorated home had everything we needed to feel comfortable. I always appreciate extra, thoughtful touches like plentiful hooks for towels in the bathroom, spots to place luggage and coffee making options -- and this one has it all! Even a thoughtful welcome note and bottle of wine to kick off our vacation!

    This property was clean and had lots of amenities. Even though it is on the smaller size, it felt roomy and was nicely laid out. The property owners provided enough start up goods that we really didn’t need run out and get anything for our weekend stay. They also left us a welcome card and bottle of wine which was a nice touch. It was close to beaches, parks, and lots of cute restaurants. My only regret is that we didn’t have more time to explore!

    We went for a girls trip and couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The hosts were more than accommodating and kind. The house was very inviting with no detail overlooked. We’d love to come back for next year’s trip!

    This property met all our needs. My wife and I stayed with three grandchildren. It was very clean, had all the amenities we needed, ample room for five. Easy TV access, effective cooling system downstairs, ceiling fans in living room and queen bedroom. Seven minutes from Silver Beach, our main attraction. Ryan responded to all communications quickly. Two coffee makers (drip and Keurig). The kids stayed in the bedrooms upstairs. Enjoyed the back porch/deck in the mornings. There's a basket of beach equipment in the backyard, the kids had a blast taking the three boogie boards to the beach. Very nice fire pit in back but we couldn't use it due to the weather. We really appreciated Ryan giving us a late checkout. Overall a wonderful stay. Two things that could be improved: a light over the bathroom sink, and a less-noisy window air conditioner upstairs.

    We had such a great time! We LOVE St. Joes & this house was a dream! First of all, it’s so cute! The decor is adorable, very beach and vacationy. The house had everything we needed. We have 3 young kids, two still in pack n plays and one newly in a “big bed.” This house for our needs perfectly! The twins slept in one of the upstairs rooms, there was more than enough room for two pack n plays and our other slept in a twin bed in the other upstairs room. We were very comfy in the master and there was a 4th bedroom that we didn’t even use as a family of 5! The bathroom was really nice. Great shower pressure, great for a bathtub for the kids + LOTS of bath towels & beach towels! The kitchen and living room were both spacious and welcoming. There’s a fenced in very private feeling backyard and back deck. We definitely plan on staying here again! The location was awesome. Such a short drive to everything and super convenient. We went to silver beach, Triscornia beach, and Rocky Gap Beach. Rocky gap is less than 3 minutes from the house! We also went the Shafer Farm LLC (about 20 minutes away) to go apple picking and loved it. Highly recommend Silver Beach Pizza and Silver Harbor Brewery while you’re in town. The hosts were so welcoming and had great communication. We had one question and they texted us back right away. They made us feel more than at home and left us a very sweet card and gift! 10/10 recommend staying here! We can’t wait to come back!

    This was the perfect place for our celebration. They let us check in early, the house was absolutely adorable and very clean. They left us a special note letting us know how welcomed we were to their home. They also left us a complimentary bottle of wine. This house had everything we needed; bottles of shampoo & conditioner, plenty of towels, yard games, bug repellents, marshmallow skewers, nice private backyard with a grill, fully stocked kitchen, fans for each bedroom and more. They have thought of everything. This home was also located close to everything. Would definitely book this home again.

    My family and I traveled from Kentucky and Missouri, to Chicago for the night and on up into Benton Harbor, Michigan for 2 nights. We enjoyed exploring a new place. St. Joseph was adorable, we had a perfect beach day. While there, we visited the shops, stores and restaurants in the area. The home was adorable and suited us perfectly. Everything was clean. Check in was a breeze. Beds were comfy. We grilled some store bought fresh fish on the gas grill. Appliances were clean and looked brand new! Plenty of dishes and utensils. We would love to come back when we have more time! We loved it!
