Where else do you have such an easy walk to the greatest beach in the Midwest and to downtown St. Joseph for ice cream, dining and shopping Come in and enjoy Blue Spruce Haven, our cozy “cottage-within-a-house” at the prime corner of Lake Boulevard and Price Steet. The house sits on the bluff above Lake Michigan, and it is a quick walk down to Silver Beach Park.

Silver Beach is consistently rated as one of top “family-friendly” beaches in the U.S., and isknown for its wide, clean sands, spacious bathhouses and the near-by historic carousel and refreshing Compass Fountain sprinkler park. New this year is a playground/climbing gym and an upgraded concession and convenience stand.

Our summer rental unit is entirely self-contained, with its own outside entrance, laundry room, garage, and driveway. It has two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds. A sunroom with a large bay window and original stained glass affords a cozy retreat in which to enjoy a cup of coffee or read a book. The living room provides ample seating and a smart TV with cable service (bring your own streaming device).i The bathroom features a full-size shower and tub. The kitchen has a dishwasher, a microwave, a full-sized oven and stove, a drip coffee maker, and a toaster oven. The unit has its own washer and dryer, beach chairs, umbrellas, and lots of toys. We even provide two large wagons to haul all your stuff and the kids to the beach!

    Nice, clean, updated house in a great location. Easy walk to downtown St. Joe and Lake Michigan. Didn't know there are attached apartments where a little noise would come through the ceiling, but it didn't bother us and was barely noticeable.

    Host was extremely communicative and welcoming. Location was perfect. FYI for families with little, there is a decent hill to get up/down the beach.

    Property is very clean and well stocked. We appreciated the beach gear, which was all in great shape. Walking distance to pretty much everything.

    We stayed with our kids ages 3.5 and 2, and this property was perfect for our family. I appreciated the walkability to the beach and town. We didn’t even need our car once we arrived. The apartment was so clean and everything you could think of provided. As a mom of young kids I also appreciated the amazing blinds in the bedrooms. Made the rooms dark for naps and earlier bedtimes. The kids loved playing in the yard while dinner cooked, and playing in the sun room in the morning while my husband and I drank coffee was also so sweet. I would stay here again! It really was perfect for our first family vacation.

    We stayed here with a 3 and 5 year old. They shared the back bedroom. We loved that the house had 2 wagons, tons of beach toys, and fishing poles. The location is unbeatable. Short walk to 2 beaches and into town. Our 5 year old loved all the secret doors to get to the laundry room.

    Thanks Sandra your place was a home away from home for us. Nice and warm, clean, a great garage and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The neighborhood is charming and we had fun at the Krasl and downtown shops. We were sad to leave. Thank you from two Aussies on safari ?
