St Joseph Luxury Home with Pool and Water Views within Harbor Shores

You'll love being situated in the Harbor Shores Resort where downtown St. Joseph's quaint shops and restaurants are just a fifteen minute walk or three minute drive away. Tiscornia Park and Jean Klock Park are iconic, Lake Michigan beaches and are three minutes by car! There is no need to travel to the water, as our home enjoys stunning views of the waterfront from the front porch, living room, and master suite. Each room has character and charm that impresses but still feels like home. On cool evenings, the front porch fire pit or the living room with its gas fireplace provide cozy spots for viewing the waterfront. The gourmet kitchen with a large center island, Maytag appliances, and a full array of cooking gear is the perfect place to create meals to remember. The large, master suite looks out on the Marina at Harbor Village and boasts a king size bed, TV, a double sink vanity, herringbone shower, and walk-in closet. As part of the master suite, there is another full size sofa sleeper area with its own 55 inch Fire TV. Another king bedroom, a queen bedroom, laundry room, and a guest bathroom complete the second floor. You'll love our home's proximity to the Inn at Harbor Shores with Plank's Restaurant, a coffee shop, spa, and seasonal outdoor dining. Feel like a swim? The pool complex at Harbor Village offers our guests pool privileges from June til mid September. Feel like a work out? We have a mini fitness center in our home with a weight bench, free weights, and a recumbent bike. With water all around us, we offer two kayaks, a paddleboard, beach chairs, and boogie board. Please note that every person using the water sports equipment must sign a liability release form.
