Spent four nights in late June 2023. Weather largely did not cooperate but the location was perfect on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Lot of steps down to beach but worth the effort. 5 minutes from downtown St. Joe. Stayed with our two sons, age 15 and 19 and they loved it as well. Large kitchen, comfy beds, lots of space for everyone. We will visit again soon!

Very enjoyable property with great view

Loved this house with all its history and amenities offered. The location was perfect with a private beach (yes there are a lot of steps BUT was manageable).

Really enjoyed our stay. Wonderful sunsets, private beach, good space and amenities.

My friends and I enjoyed every minute. The house had plenty of room for the 5 of us. We are hoping to return next year.

My family and I really enjoyed this place. The location was great! The views: amazing! Private beach: perfect! The house was very clean and met our needs. Would rent this again!

This was a wonderful place to say! The beach was private and clean, and the decline rate going out to the water was very gradual. The house was equipped with everything you could need. The check in was a breeze, and the town of Saint Joe has plenty to do! I’ll definitely rent this home again in the future!

The house was old but really well maintained. Loved the quietness and privacy of the house. And I can’t say enough about the beach! So much private beachfront and very few rocks. Nice sand! Water was very nice to swim in also!

Our family had a wonderful time staying here. The house is lovely and well-appointed. We had everything we needed. We would stay here again.

Very nice beach house, beautiful view. Very tall stairs down to the beach, but the climb is worth it.

Great access to beach and beautiful view. Very quiet and peaceful location.

Clean, quiet, nice getaway.

Previous descriptions accurately describe the positive characteristics of this place. My family enjoyed staying here very much!

In my opinion it is a great 40's era house in good condition, roomier than we needed, neat and tidy and with enough provided to make it very livable. The lake-view from atop a bluff was always enjoyable. The weather was good for swimming. Many concrete steps down to the lake was not an issue for us. Nice sandy beach. Incredible privacy, no crowds. It's possible only 6 cars or so passed the property per day.

We had a spectacular week of gorgeous sunsets on a beautiful bluff overlooking our glorious lake! The once-in-a-half-century rainfall, over 3-4 of our 6 days, did make things a bit damp, but it did not dampen our spirits or our appreciation of the beautiful place we were staying. When the rain stopped, and the wind calmed, the swimming was fantastic. Even on the rainiest and stormiest of days, the sky somehow cleared just enough to deliver us an amazing sunset, every single night. I now have the most incredible collection of sunset photos ever! And Karen from Be Our Guest was a gem – someone who seems to really enjoy her work, and enjoys making her guests happy, with kindness, generosity, support, and patience. Someone else commented on the steps to the beach. We loved them! All 79 of them (counted on every trip). Came home stronger. Even the almost four-year-old grandson climbed them every time on his own, without a complaint, and counted them repeatedly – great physical and cognitive exercise for those strong little legs and rapidly growing brain!

This rental was an A+ for our family. The home's many large rooms were perfect for playing games and visiting. The views of the lake from the balcony, the yard, and the deck across the street are fantastic. We had three spectacular sunsets in three nights. The steps (about 80) down to the beach (which are lighted at night!) are close to the home, and the beach at the bottom of the stairs is very private. We were able to take long walks on the beach to the South. Our family group of seven voted unanimously to come back to the same home next summer.

This is a terrific property and very well equipped and maintained. We loved the location and the friendly, helpful property managers and owners. A more prominent mention of the 79 steep steps down to the private beach would have been helpful to ensure that we were all aware of that!

The property was everything we expected and more. We loved the views and the private beach in the current environment was just what we needed. The home is older, but very comfortable and the neighbor was wonderful to visit with. The playhouse was particularly nice for our almost 3 grandaughter. She loved it The steps to the beach were nearby and very manageable for all adults and the youngster as well. This place was just what we needed.

Cool house with nice views and private beach. A lot of steps down to beach was a little tough with our 3 year old, but was manageable. Property manager was very helpful and responsive.

Our family had such a fantastic time here and spent most of our days at the beautiful private beach. It was a bit of a climb up and down the stairs to the beach but it was totally worth it! House was spacious and lovely and we can’t wait to go back soon!

The house was located very close to the lake with easy access to the private beach. The house was older but well maintained and well stocked. It had enough space for 7 people with a big backyard for kids to play. The huge balcony overlooking the lake was used a lot for relaxation and looking at Beautiful sunsets and moonsets. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again

Beautiful location, beach, and neighborhood for a long getaway with our family with front row seats to beautiful sunsets.. Very private home with huge backyard, plenty of living space with ability to easily ride bikes to downtown St Joseph. Pure relaxation from the moment we walked in. Already planning our next trips. Picturesque in every aspect from the home, steps down to the beach, overall charm of your surroundings all create an experience we won’t forget. Enjoyed our 2 weeks.
