Walk down our nicely maintained switchback trail to your own private Lake Michigan white sandy beach. There are some weekdays where you will be the only people in sight! Bluff walk is a few minutes up and down. 15-20 steps at top and bottom with a nature trail in between. Beautiful with some handrails and trees to grip but a moderate difficulty. We maintain it well but it does shift. Kids and healthy adults will handle it no problem but you won't want to go from the beach to the house several times a day. You will likely get a bit winded coming up. Still better than the straight stairs some folks have. Note: beach chairs and umbrellas not provided so please bring your own beach accommodations. Stylish retro inspired time-capsule home has 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, and a bunk room. Ample parking. Large backyard with mature trees to shade from the afternoon sun. Large trampoline and an octoball court for the kids (see waiver). Weber propane grill on large concrete patio. Campfire pit and more seating on second concrete patio. Hot and cold outdoor shower for after-beach clean-up. 5 Roku TVs and high speed WiFi. New Whirlpool washer/dryer. New Dishwasher. Front row sunset views that never get old! We are 6 minutes away from downtown St. Joe, one of Michigan's featured beach towns, with plenty of events and activities.Watch the boats come in and out of the harbor and witness one of the last working rotating train bridges. Great art fairs and farmer's markets at the bluff. Lots of great restaurants and antique stores up and down the Red Arrow Highway. Explore South Haven about 20 minutes up the road without the high prices of renting there. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Water sports equipment - Casino nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,100 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68410000/68406300/68406230/ff99cb2c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Vista Michigana, Vista Michigana Riverside - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 26 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-10&endDate=2025-11-11&selected=68406230&PinnedHotelID=68406230&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96770000/96761500/96761440/1645d54f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Feel the Lake breeze!! 4b-4ba beachfront house.

Check-in was flawless and the house was immaculately clean. The walk down to the beach was a bit of a hike, but the path is well managed and our 3 year old had no issues throughout the week trekking up and down each day. The shaded back yard provided the perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful sunsets each night. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better spot. ##### Lindsay M.

The house was also very nice and had enough room and beds for the 9 of us. The owner and his family were all very kind and when anything went wrong they were right there to fix any issue. The walk down to the water is definitely a little hike, but very much well worth it. For most of our stay we were alone on the sand and only had 3 people pass by. My family and I will definitely be renting again in the future. ##### Genesis G. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael M.

From the fun retro design and decor of the house to the beautiful view in the backyard, it was a great getaway for our family. The house was clean and well-equipped for guests, and our kids really enjoyed the fun backyard. The beach was super private with really nice sand and clean water. The path down to the beach is a small hike, but nothing our 3 year old couldn’t handle. The kids actually thought that part was pretty magical!

Good amenities, great backyard with incredible lake view! Toby is super helpful and kind. The property has a lovely curated trail down to the beach. So much more doable than a huge metal staircase. The home is on a bluff so the trail down is lengthy. Very manageable if you are mobile and steady on your feet. Close to some lovely state parks with great hiking trails and St Joe’s downtown.

Very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the fun extras in the back yard and kids room and the retro decor was a real treat. But the very best part of this property is the private beach. The trail down to the beach was about a 4 min walk with some uneven terrain but well worth the hike for the absolutely stunning views. We could not have enjoyed the beach more, such soft sand and so many pretty rocks (that was one of our favorite parts). Most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen.

Fun for a group and the beach is one of the widest we’ve ever had access to! Even on the weekends was pretty private and quiet. The path down is as-described - it takes a bit longer but you see the benefit (as we did) when the neighbor’s electric ride up broke down!! Toby was also nice enough to let us know we could check-in early. Absolutely didn’t have to do that but we were able to grab an extra hour or so of beach time. And personally the farm-fresh eggs they left us were a huge plus! ##### Lindsay P. Stayed 11 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew G.

The house was beautiful and SUPER clean. Retro decor was thoughtfully designed and amazing. The pictures truly didn't do it justice and the house was awesome for our size group of 10 (7 adults and 3 kids). The yard was big including a large patio, second patio with fire pit, trampoline (which the kids LOVED), Gaga ball pit, and beautiful view of Lake Michigan. The switchback path down the bluff to the private beach felt like a secret entrance to serenity. If you want a private, beautiful, clean beach this is it. Of note, physical capability if needed to access the path to the beach due to stairs and some uneven ground. The host and property are fantastic! ##### Andrew G.

This property was amazing! Close to downtown St. Joseph, where they had little shops, the public beach, and fun! My family and I got well in this 4 bedroom house. We were able to enjoy the beach out the back door and down the switchback trail, collect rocks, walk the beach, and relax. The kids enjoyed the hammock, trampoline, and yard to play in. As adults, we enjoyed watching the sunset, views, and hearing the lakes waves, from the lawn-chairs. During our stay we drove up to Saugatuck Dunes and too the took the dune guided ride; it was a blast. The house was everything we expected and more! The property owners were very responsive, reached out to check in on us and our stay, and provided helpful tips to us about the area! I highly recommend this property! ##### Shanna R.

Big yard, privacy, beautiful views of the lake, easy path to the beach, super clean, plenty of room for us all and the decor is super cool! Toby was very prompt to respond to any questions I had and because of unseen circumstances out of Toby’s control. They were still at the house, wrapping things up when we came to check in. We got to meet the whole family.

Jul 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great time in a very special place We loved our stay in this immaculate retro home above a beautiful beach on Lake Michigan. There's something for everyone, from the amazing, beautifully-preserved mid century details of the ranch style home, to the fun kids' bunk/play room, to the huge yard filled with activities, to the lovely water view and multiple outdoor seating areas from which to enjoy it. The beach is accessed by a pretty steep trail but no one seemed to mind since the payoff was an essentially private beach on the lake. Having a powder room adjacent to the bunk room along with a large full bathroom made it easy for seven of us to share space. The dining room table is huge and works well for games and meals during rainy spells. The kitchen is gorgeous - we've never seen authentic period cupboards of such style and function. The appliances look retro but are completely up to date. This home is run as a family business and the care and love are obvious. ##### Julie W.

Jul 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We all rated this a 10/10 vacation We feel so fortunate to have found this amazing property to give our family a home away from home for our meet-up vacation. We did not anticipate being at the house much but after seeing all it had to offer, we choose to spend time there instead of out and about. We had everything we needed right there. While indoors we felt like we were still enjoying the beauty of the yard and while outdoors in a light rain we were protected because of the beautiful trees. I would say the beach won us over but really everything about this property deserves its due credit. The bedrooms set us all up for great nights sleeps, the older kids (17-21) loved the bunk room and felt like “kids again”. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare family dinners. Morning coffee overlooking the water was priceless. I want to keep this gem a secret to myself but the owners deserve all of the praise and accolades I can give. The adults especially loved the decor and reminiscing about similar/same items we had in our home growing up. We are looking forward to coming back! ##### Alissa W.

This place is an absolute gem! The pictures to not do this property justice! The house is larger than it looks! Very clean and includes everything you may need! Our group which included 6 adults, 2 teenagers, and a toddler were more than comfortable! There are 3 bedrooms on one side of the house and then the HUGE kids/bunk room on the other side which made the perfect set up for my husband and I to keep our toddler from waking up the entire family! The ginormous backyard was great to play games and run around with ample seating and multiple fire pits. And as described, the switchback path down to the beach takes about 5 minutes to get up or down and is a little steep but we were able to carry our toddler up and down multiple times. And the trek is absolutely worth it! The beach was awesome! Basically your own private beach with soft sand and clear water! We spent most of our days down there! Hosts were very communicative and were available to answer any questions! Would love to come back next year! ##### Nicole R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa F.
