Some items provided were beach towels, beach chairs, ice packs, a cooler, and sand toys for the beach. Both bathrooms provided shower hair products, blow dryer, and feminine products. Next time we visit I can definitely pack half as much for our stay because of how much they provided. The drive to silver beach was only 8min.

First off, Julie was incredible to work with. We had originally booked this property with another owner who sold to Julie two months before out stay. Julie instantly reached out and honored the previous price and dates. From there, she communicated quickly and efficiently about our upcoming stay. The house was perfect - the inside is remodeled so nicely! We traveled with our two year old and I always bring my own toys, but toys were provided and my son loved them all! The beds were comfortable and everything was so cleaned! On top of how great the home itself was, the location was perfect! We were 4 minutes from a public beach/play ground and six minutes from downtown St Joesph. Thank you for opening your home to us Julie! We appreciate the stay!! ##### Ashley M.

The house was immaculate and well-stocked with kitchen necessities. There is a nice patio set-up in the backyard, and you can watch the beautiful sunsets over the lake from the upstairs balcony. Julie, the owner, has a list of recommended restaurants and things to do posted on a bulletin board. We would add kayaking on the Paw Paw River to the list. We used the two coupons she left for the coffee shop she owns. The coffee and customer service were excellent! The beds were comfortable, the house was quiet and we had plenty of room to relax both inside and outside. We especially appreciated Julie’s quick responses to our questions about sightseeing tips and what to do with the recycling. Plan ahead and book this house early…there are not a lot of rental homes in this price range in the St. Joseph area. ##### Nancy G. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marla D. Jun 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent rental! This was such a great rental! This home has a fun layout that is absolutely perfect for a family. It has super comphy beds and bedding, provides towels (and beach towels and toys!), and even shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The backyard is long and perfect for the kids to run around and has an awesome little firepit. Another great touch was that the host provided wood and s'mores supplies and sticks! (The kids were thrilled). Couldn't be happier and we didn't run into any issues, we would definitely stay here again. The host was very quick at responding to any of my questions. They own a great little coffee shop down the road and provided us with 2 complementary coffee coupons which was so thoughtful and we grabbed them on the way home (OMG tasty!) While we were visiting we went to Silver Beach (and the playground and fountain there), walked up the pier to see the lighthouse and went to Silver Beach Pizza which we highly recommend, it was amazing! We went to Sarett Nature Center 2 different days and did the trails there which were really great and take you through a variety of scenery. We checked out Jean Klock Beach which we visited twice as well and loved. It is un-combed but we loved it and it gives an ocean-esque vibe and we were basically the only ones there both times. We also went to a great little bowling place, Striker, which had awesome rates, visited the shops in St. Joseph, and got some tasty ice cream. Thank you for a wonderful stay! ##### Marla D.

Nice 3 bedroom house about 10 minutes from multiple beach options and good restaurants in a town that is easy to get around in. Communication with host was excellent and checkin/checkout very easy. Made for a very relaxing vacation. Full kitchen if you wanted to make some food yourself. There was also a very nice fenced in backyard with areas for a campfire, blackberry bushes, and a little trail through the woods which our kids loved. There were several good areas to play board games and card games after we got back in the evening. ##### Bradley G. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette H. Oct 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend get away with friends Love this property! Extremely clean, well stocked with little things provided like coffee, marshmallows to roast, firewood, condiments, and games. LOVED the foosball table as we had a blast having tournaments all night long. Beds were all very comfortable and the decorating of the entire place is so cute! I love the front balcony with a small view of the lake. I wish it was warmer so we could have our coffee out there in the morning. My only recommendation would be outdoor lighting as it is hard to find at night and on a pretty busy street. ##### Annette H.
