Our family of 8 stayed 4 nights. On night 2 the AC went out, but thankfully our host was very responsive to get someone out to fix it the next day, and compensated us for the inconvenience! We especially enjoyed the hot tub, foosball table and the yard made for a couple epic games of croquet! The location is so great, close to two beautiful beaches-catching a sunset is must-do. 20 minutes to South Haven for great shopping and restaurants. All bedrooms are upstairs, and the room with the queen bed is pretty small, but overall this is an awesome place to stay with exceptional hosts-would highly recommend! ##### Patrick P.

We have 4 children (15, 4, 3, and 7 weeks) and there was plenty to keep them all happy and occupied. The house was VERY clean and accommodated our group of 5 adults and 4 kids wonderfully! House was fully stocked with everything we needed. The deck on the main level was the perfect extension of living space and we spent a lot of time there. We 100% enjoyed our time and would definitely stay again! Communication with the host was great and they were very eager to make sure everything was to our liking. Don't miss out on this house if you are headed to the St. Joseph/South Haven area! ##### Brigid T. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angie L.

Check in was easy and efficient. Check out instructions were simple and clear. The house has so much- very well kept, so cute, it has a great layout and worked well for our multi generational family trip. Secluded but easily accessible off a main road. Loved spending time at the fire pit, and in the hot tub. Board games and game room are a nice touch also. Close to many nearby cities, we explored St Joseph, Saugatuck, and South Haven along with Coloma. Two nearby beaches are a short drive or a little longer drive will get you to larger beaches, restaurants and shops. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4875dce7-f9e9-40cc-b6c5-6de66ded6bc7-1754435734662.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a9e4d27d-7314-438c-b93a-20585cfa3b95-1754435734249.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2bc089f6-f037-416b-8219-8d71e748b3db-1754435735221.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Angie L.

We loved that it was away from everything but still close enough to not have to drive far. Our kids absolutely loved the firepit and the hot tub. The owners were incredible with communication. We had some issues with the door lock a few times and they came over to fix it ASAP. I would recommend maybe bringing some extra towels if you have a larger group or just be prepared to wash them daily (we didn't mind). This was our first time to Michigan, and we loved Jean Klock Park and Tiscornia Park and both were within minutes of this home. We also loved making the short drive to South Haven. We will definitely be making a trip back some day! ##### Haley L. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill S.

We had a 5yr old, a 1yr old and 2 in their 70’s and had no problem with accessing the nearby beaches. All within a short drive and parking wasn’t an issue even on the 4th of July weekend. We really enjoyed the porch and firepit for relaxing after the beach. The hosts were so kind and thoughtful and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Would not hesitate to come back! ##### Katie R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew M.

The home had plenty of space for our three kiddos to roam about while also feeling close and cozy for games and movie night in. It's no further than 15 mins to get anywhere you could need for accustomed amenities (groceries, gas, or chain restaurants), and is also minutes from beaches, parks and local restaurants. We enjoyed Silver Beach and walking around St Joe as well as hiking down to the lake closer to the air bnb at Hagar Park (there are a lot of stairs, but we found it completely manageable even with a 1yo, 4yo, & preteen). On the last evening we went to Jean Klock park and took family photos. It was absolutely stunning at sunset! Monroe House is clean, well stocked for utilizing the kitchen, and the backyard & hot tub were favorites! 10/10 recommend this stay for a slow and relaxed environment allowing you to enjoy a homey get away without being too far off the beaten path. ##### Amber R.

Large well equipped kitchen and house. Lots of extras! One bedroom Alittle small and didn’t think about there being no closets for hanging clothes and jackets. Would book again if available. ##### kathy h.
