Was good
5.0 / 5.0
The rental was just as described and shown in the photos. Very clean and had everything we needed (a hairdryer & extra hooks for hanging wet towels & swimsuits would have been the only thing that would have been nice to have) The pool was warm and perfect for 2 young boys. Everyone we met was very nice. Would def recommend - thanks for a great stay!

Great place to stay. The condo was great for our family of five and was well stocked with all the little things like napkins, trash bags, dishwashing pods, games, books, night lights and things to make it like home that have been left out at other places we have stayed. The only thing missing is a golf cart rental. The hill to the beach was tough with 3 kids and all their stuff even with a wagon, but this is the best section of beach. The beach was wider than nearby areas and most other areas had stairs to access the beach. Close access to the pool was also very nice.

Had a short stay in Coloma and loved Lake Michigan. The host got back quickly to any messages. The trail to the beach is very steep (hard for an eight month pregnant lady, lol), but was very pretty. The cleaning lady was also very helpful and sweet.

The condo was a perfect size and has everything you need! We have a 7 and 4.5 year old and the bunk beds worked out great. It’s a 5-10 minute walk to a very private beach, however just know it’s a pretty steep hill to go up and down to access it. But there is a great viewing area to watch the sunset and we were the only ones on the beach most of the time during our stay! This was our first time to Lake Michigan and we can’t wait to come back!

We really enjoyed the area and the property. The condo is nicely appointed and recently renovated. Noise from upstairs unit can be very loud at times.
3.0 / 5.0
The condo itself was nice. There was an issue with loud noises from upstairs, but when we messaged the property manager they took care of it right away. We went the second half of June during the hottest week of the summer so far, and the pool was NOT open. They apologized and were very kind...but it was very HOT and there was NO POOL during our entire stay. The description of "on a lake...on the waterfront" wasn't really accurate since there was another row of houses and a sizable drop-off between the property and the lake/waterfront. The description and photo of the walk to the beach was misleading. It was a 1/4 mile walk and a good deal of it was down a steep grade....which means UP a steep grade on the way back. We ended up spending time visiting the several nice wineries in the area and having a relaxing time, but we felt that the accommodations were not worth what we paid, all things considered.
4.0 / 5.0
We had a wonderful time. The condo was cozy and comfortable. I will say that there must not have been recent guests before us because we saw a lot of dust and cobwebs on the windows and room fans, but we cleaned it up as needed.
The walk to the beach was much further than we anticipated, thankfully our 4 year old is always up for an adventure as the path down and pack up is extremely steep. Other owners had golf carts which definitely makes the trek easier. One nice neighbor saw us about to walk up with all our beach gear & wagon and offered us a ride - which was amazing!
The private beach is beautiful with the bluffs. We had a great time playing on the beach and splashing in the waves!

Our family of 4 loved the condo. It was easy to get to the place was very clean. And to have access to a private beach was awesome. Just wished it came with a golf cart. Other then that great stay

What a beautiful property and location. Our host was very friendly and responded fast! The place was clean and had everything you could need while being away from home. We didn’t see the sun shine one time on our stay and my family had an absolute blast enjoying the pool and private beach as well as some of the local activities suggested by our sweet host!!

Property was as described, clean, and well placed between St. Josephs and South Haven. Pool was also very enjoyable (very clean and warm). We did not go down to the private beach due to the very steep incline. We started to head down, but felt unstable walking down the paved walkway down and turned around.

This is a cute and comfy space that served as a perfect location for wine tasing in the area. It was clean and provided all the necessary amenities. We loved having access to the pool. We would have liked to enjoy the lake, too, but one member of our party couldn't handle the numerous uneven steps that led down to Lake Michigan. This feature should be noted in the property listing.

This little place is located in between St.Joe and Holland. The beaches were the boy’s favorite. We will be back

Nice location. Very remote feel. Within a 10 minute drive to St. JOSEPH. Private beach was nice but steep without a golfcart. Beautiful views. Only downside, no laundry facilities in unit. They are a short walk away. Very clean. Needed more wash cloths. Plenty of towels. Nice fridge. My daughter loved the assortment of board games.

This was a very comfortable place to stay for a family vacation. We hope to be back next year!

It was great being in the middle of St Joseph and South Haven so we could explore both towns. The beach access at this property is super steep, so if you plan on carrying anything down (kids, bags, ect) look into getting a golf cart. Pool was clean and very warm. I think there are about 12 other units in this building, so lots of other families but we didn’t mind! Having to put away the clean dishes at check out was very inconvenient. I understand loading/starting the dishwasher, but feeding the family early enough for the cycle to run and then dry/put away dishes while trying to get out by 11:00 was definitely a challenge.

Family had a blast. Short walk to the beach. It was like having our own private beach. The pool was awesome for the kids to warm up in after getting cool in the lake.

This was a very cozy, quiet and relaxing place. The people were friendly and open if we needed anything. The pool was clean and warm. The hill down to the beach was very steep. The location being within a 10min. drive to two towns that are just adorable. The shops and restaurants are wonderful. I would stay here again because of the friendly and cleanness of the property.

Nice, comfortable place to stay with access to the beach. Lovely wooded location with views and access to Lake Michigan. A great place to unwind and relax.

It was a nice place and we enjoyed our stay. With the beach access and pool it would be a great place for a family with young kids. Some things I'd like my fellow travelers to know that weren't clear in the listing though. These aren't good or bad, just more information on the property:
1. This is a condo unit with another unit above it. It's an older building with very little soundproofing and we could clearly hear upstairs conversations, movement, snoring (lol) etc..
2. The pool isn't private to the unit, it's private to the building which has 5 units. My wife says I should have known this, but I would have used "community pool" and not "private pool" in the description.
3. The bedroom curtains are fine but the curtains for the living room, which faces the parking lot, are very thin and at night with a light on in the living room you can clearly see inside from the parking lot.

Great staying at this property for a quick girls getaway. Clean and comfortable. Condo had everything we needed. Short drive to beaches, shopping and restaurants. Overall great place to stay!

Most beautiful place to slow down and soak up the relaxing family time. The condo was perfect for our little ones, equipped with toddler silverware, fun books, and a bean bag chair to name a few. My kids loved riding their bikes to the look out every morning to say good morning to the “big beach.” The pool was heated to 88°! But nothing beats the beautiful private beach! Can’t wait to return next year!

2.0 / 5.0
Very rustic accommodations. Air conditioning does not reach bedrooms, thankfully it was never over 80 outside or we would have been miserable. Master bed is very uncomfortable, I never struggle with hotel beds but I had a horrible stiff neck from this bed. The living room rug is shag and the vacuum they provided does not work on the rug, it was pretty nasty. The towels and sheets are about as cheap as they come and really need to be replaced. There were only 2 rolls of toilet paper for 5 people for 5 nights. All kitchen supplies were very cheap as well, like dorm quality. Was pretty disappointed with the overall feel/supplies/amenities in the house for the price.
The pool was really great though. We did also like the beach but if you need to go the bathroom it’s a very rough 12 minute walk to go there and back (going up hill is no joke), which is a pretty big drawback.

We wanted to get away for a quick two day trip with our just turned 3 year old. We are glad we find this cute condo really close to a private beach. The walk was a little steep but not bad at all. Sam, the host, was lightning quick with her responses. The door codes all worked. We had two great sunsets by the beach and our daughter lives swimming in the heated pool. The WI-FI is super fast! One of the bedrooms has a bunk in it and the other one a queen size I believe bed. It is super close to St. Joseph where we went to right after we checked out to ride a carousel and east at Silver Beach Pizza! We will go back to this condo next year if it is available!

The condo was very nice. We looked forward to our beach vacation, but unfortunately the five minute walk to the beach was quite difficult to access due to a very steep grade path. Using a stroller or wagon was unsafe, and too difficult for a toddler to walk. Having no access to a washer/dryer, and no outdoor space where we could line dry beach items, meant beach gear did not dry after the first day.

Excellent experience
Overall we were very pleased with our stay. I only wish the path to the beach had stated it was a fairly good hill. My husband is going to have a hip replacement soon and it was very hard for him to get up and down the hill.

Lakeside paradise
The perfect little getaway with close proximity to Lake Michigan, a community pool and quaint condo. A variety of games left by the host made for fun game nights with the kiddos.

Great for a quick trip!
This condo was clean and cool and communication with the owner was great. Our family did miss some outdoor space, we longed for an outside patio or sitting area aside from the common pool space - the condo is located in a beautiful wooded location!
The private beach was our favorite part, but there is quite a path to get there and during our stay the grassy section was high, we wish it would've been mowed to avoid walking through high grass each day.
We knew ahead of time that there would not be laundering available, and were sad to find only 1 towel & washcloth per person for the week - things got a little gross mid-week...so plan to pack a few of your own for a longer stay!
We did enjoy being sandwiched between South Haven and St. Joe's Beach, two short trips with lots to do when you need a day out and about...although it can be hard to leave the beautiful, private beach!

So-so
The place was fine, but the description and other reviews were deceiving in our opinions. This condo looks/ sounds like it is right on the water and it has a fabulous pool. It is not, and we could not even access the pool. The floor was also very dirty, and the neighbors above us were super loud at all hours of the day and night. The location is very far from things and there is not a lot of cab service, so if you are looking to be secluded this is the spot for you. The host was very communicative when we had questions, but overall we expected a lot differently of the place.

Our trip was only a few days so too short to enjoy everything the area has to offer. Our rental was very convenient and comfortable. The only issue at all that prevented 5 star rating was the AC. The AC was not strong enough to cool the rental sufficiently which necessitated the use of multiple loud fans. Its probably not normally an issues, just bad timing since it was in the low 90s when we were there. Would definitely book here again.

This is a wonderful place for R &R. Private beach was amazing for swimming, lounging in tubes, rock collecting, and wave crashing. Pool was heated very nicely and great for kids, mine are 6 and 8 and loved it. Overall we had a great stay!!!
