Great location and the house was spacious for the 8 of us adults! St. Joe’s never disappoints!

Great experience. Great location near beach and downtown.

Great location and a nice house. Very easy walk to the beach or town and the path behind was nice feature for kids on bikes. Host was fantastic. I’d stay here again.

We had an absolutely great time at the Sand Rabbit! The house was in a great location, very convenient to the beach, and town!

Besides the great location and lots of room to spread out, our favorite things were the porches. The front porch for morning coffee and evening drinks and ice cream. The back porch for getting our beach stuff ready for the day and cleaning it up (and the kids) at the end of the day.

Fantastic vacation and accommodations. Overall this vacation rental was absolutely fantastic. Six bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths accommodated all of our family members. Plenty of room in the dining room for everybody to eat dinner when we did eat inside. Fenced in backyard was perfect for our little guests. Upstairs and downstairs balconies for outdoor relaxation as well as a small deck in the back of the house. Parking in the back was perfect for our large family. Access to two different beaches was outstanding. The listing agent was nothing less than phenomenal. Quickly returns any text messages with any concerns that you might have. We are definitely going to rent this property again. If there is anything that I can say would improve our visit it would be a new refrigerator downstairs and seating accommodations in the backyard such as a picnic table. More toilet paper and more paper towels are definitely needed.

Our stay at this house was very enjoyable. It’s in a great location within walking distance of the beach and also all the shops and restaurants uptown. Communication with the owner was very user-friendly. We will definitely consider staying here again.

This was the perfect stay for our weekend away. The location was awesome and the house was clean and comfortable. Jennifer did a great job and went above and beyond to help us enjoy our weekend wedding with family.

We used this time to get together with a bunch of old friends and enjoy golf, the beach and all St Joe's has to offer. This place was a great location and was a perfect place to relax in the back yard, the deck or the porches after a long day on the town or on the beach. Check in was easy, the place was well maintained, and communications if I had any questions was easy and handled quickly. no complaints here.

Positives:The location was great. A block from the beach, short walk from the town. The owner responded to our texts. For the cost for a week we expected a nice, well-appointed house. The following is what we got:Negatives: -Not able to check in until 5 o'clock,when we got there the beds were unmade with old sheets, with the elastic stretched out on the fitted sheets. -We were told when we arrived not to use the outdoor spigot due to it "just breaking" and to please use a bucket of water from the garage - after looking at the pipe, it was clear the pipe burst over the winter and was taped to hold it. The tape finally gave way. -The ceiling in the twin bedroom on the first floor was leaking when we arrived, then when we took a shower, it leaked more. There was previous damage that wasn't fixed properly. When the owner was notified, she responded with trying to get a plumber there and asked us not to use the shower or that bedroom. So we paid for a 2.5 bath/6 bedroom house and only had 1.5 bath/5 bedrooms to use. After multiple questions and requests for photos from Jennifer, two days later a plumber showed up and after he "fixed" it and we waited 7 hours to use the shower, it was leaking worse than before. During that time he couldn't come in unless we were there and there were constant texts and requests from the owner while we were trying to enjoy our vacation. The plumber came back again and eventually fixed the leak and the outdoor leaking hose. -There was no gas grill. There was a cheap/rusty charcoal grill that needed the rust cleaned off the grills before we could use it.At this price point, this is unacceptable. -This is a duplex and nowhere in the listing is that mentioned. I re-read the listing multiple times. It was not convenient for us. -There is no place for the guests of the house to congregate. There is not seating inside or outside to eat at a table or even sit. -There are full trees/plants growing from gutters. -The entire place was unkempt, somewhat dirty, no window coverings on many windows. -The washer and dryer were dirty and old. The washer was actually an old coin operated washer from a laundromat. -Beds and pillows were all very uncomfortable and creaky. -The downstairs tv never worked and owner gave my phone number to the cable company who called and bothered us multiple times. -This house is not taken care of and the listing is misleading. We were never offered any componsation for the issues.

The property has a great location, only about 1/2 block walk over level ground to the beach area and then only about a dozen steps down to the beach which was never crowded during our stay. Lake Mich. water level was very high this year which severely limited beach walks. The property is also located within easy walking distance of the St. Joe municipal Beach and its truly remarkable splash pad., the Lake Michigan Breakwater, an art museum, a parks along the St. Joe River and the city's business district, which, is very visitor friendly. Also, we found great paths/routes for bicycle riding. and ample easy parking for our 3 vehicles. We ran into a number of minor issues with details of getting situated into and using the house but the owner was promptly responsive to our requests for help. Annoying was a refrigerator that badly needed a new door gasket (door would not close without being forced shut) and the inside light bulb was not functioning. The down stairs microwave was missing a proper rotary glass platter and would not rotate, and a pipe to the hose water spigot had burst so that we could not uses the hose to wash sand from our feet before entering the house. Also the downstairs TV was not working but our whole group was able to see the Olympics on the upstairs apartment TV. Also, the instructions on using the keys to access the apartment as well as the notification location of the Wi-Fi password need to be updated. The keyed doors have new PIN access locks on them but the older lockbox system is still attached to the doors and the instructions for access seem to be for the old lockbox system, somewhat confusing when upon first arriving and trying to gain access to the apartments. But for the most part these annoyances are overwhelmed by the overall great features and opportunities for great experiences that the property offers. Our group had a great time and truly enjoyed our stay.

Great location! 100 yards from the beach and walking distance to downtown St. Joseph! The Sand Rabbit was clean and large enough to accommodate our wedding party. Having to go outside to get to the upstairs rooms was a little different; however, it worked out very well for our needs. Jennifer, the owner, was great to work with and promptly replied to all our questions and needs.

Location, location, location! You can not beat where this house is located. It was perfect for our adventures in and around Saint Joseph. I will caution you that I found the listing misleading. We thought we were renting the entire house when we first requested to book. There are actually two rentals in the one listing. Also, I thought it was odd that we had to bring our own towels, handsoap, dishwasher soad, tp, paper towels, etc. I've rented lots of homes and these items are usually included. If those items would have been included, this would be a 4-5 star rental for sure.

This house's location was amazing! It was in a perfect place to walk to everything we wanted to do while vacationing in St. Joe's. The house was charming even with all of its creaking floors. The front porch and back yard were great places to socialize. It would have been nice to have hand soap, hand towels for the kitchen and bath, a bath mat, and toilet paper! (There was less than a half a roll in all the bathrooms.) Overall, amazing place!

Lots of room for our family. The awesome porches, back and front, with upstairs balcony, were so nice to relax on at the end of the day.
