Wonderful stay

The house had a great feel to it. Smelled good, was incredibly clean and easy to find. Everything was as depicted including being a little loud with road noise and the business next door, but I believe that was in the description or other reviews. Communicating with John was easy. He was kind and gracious with my needs. I'd absolutely stay again and hopefully bring some people with me. The property would be great for a family. I was so busy enjoying the area, I didn't get to the private beach till the last day. The stairs were a little much for me, but I saw a black squirrel when i was exploring and that was worth the visit! 100% would recommend.

Wonderful base for Sisters Weekend

My sister and I stayed here while we were enjoying a sisters weekend in SW Michigan. This was a great cozy location close to lots of great activities in the St. Joseph/Benton Harbor area.

Labor Day

Drove up for a wedding. This place was very cute with a great porch both front and back. Felt very private with no noise from the business next door but it was a holiday weekend. My kids were too big for the twin beds. I knew they would be so I brought my own blow up bed but it broke. We tried to use the fold away bed but they complained that it was super uncomfortable and preferred the floor. I would suggest a roll away bed and or new mattress for the couch. The map to the beach access was a bit confusing so I think the stairs we found were not the ones we were supposed to use but once you find it, it’s just beautiful. I would definitely rent again. Thanks for the coffee because we forgot to bring ours!

Making memories

This was my kids 4th time staying here and they cant wait to go back. We love how quiet the neighborhood is (you dont even notice the shop next door). The beach is quiet and beautiful and the proximity to things to do makes for easy outings. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by john livingston

I have several vacation properties in the area and also have a major Planned Unit Development that I'm preparing for groundbreaking. I am a licensed realtor in Illinois and spend most of my time in Chicago when I'm not watching the waves in St. Joe!

Why they chose this property

This property is new and impeccably clean! It was very tastefully renovated and furnished just a few years ago.

What makes this property unique

We are just a very short walk down Maple Lane to a fabulous neighborhood beach that hardly anyone else knows about. We think it's one of the finest beaches you'll find anywhere on Lake Michigan!
