About this property

All The Waters Retro Home on Lake Michigan- PRIVATE BEACH-Large, shaded backyard

Perfect sunset views from atop our bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, with breathtaking views. 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.

Perfect Lakeside Home
Lovely, comfy house. 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. Perfect ladies weekend!

Perfect Girls weekend getaway!
We are a group of 6 ladies (all friends from School) who have been doing a girls trip for the past 15 years! The house was perfect for us! 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. Super nice and even helped carry our coolers 😎 Thank you for sharing your home and all the goodies too…fresh eggs, local honey, maple syrup and more!

Great house and experience!
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!
