What a gem!

We stay in the St. Joe's area 3-5 times per year. This is without question my favorite vacation home. The views are incredible, the layout is thoughtful. and the place was spotless when we arrived. The close proximity to Downtown St. Joe's was a huge bonus as well.

The Perfect Weekend Getaway

I can't say enough good things about this property. It was everything I hoped for and all that the pictures promised. Checkin was flawlessly easy and everything you think you need is already in the house, all the details were laid out very thoughtfully. There was more than enough space for my party of 8 to spread out and have private time but also perfect spaces for us all to come together.

Expansive Vista

Our group of 12 adults ages 26-65 enjoyed our week long stay, an annual August gathering that we hold in different spots along the “coastline of the Mitten” state. The St. Joes area was new to some of us, and we made a great choice of locale and accommodation. The home provided comfortable gathering space for preparing meals, playing cards and watching Premier League opening soccer matches. The patio fire pit was a nightly ritual and the beach a daily delight. The expansive backyard provided a sense of privacy and grandeur, and reminded me more of parts of old time Newport RI or Cape Cod, rather than the typical crowded cottage areas of some resort areas. The beds were supremely comfortable and nights were so quiet allowing the waves to lull one to sleep. None of us had difficulty with the beach steps, which are so thoughtfully designed. Never saw more than 2 or 3 other people on the beach. If you’re looking for a sense of luxury indoors and nature’s beauty outdoors ( and proximity to great golf) this is the place for your group. Jim, the homeowner, is cordial and responsive. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful, clean, well equipped, fun place to stay for a family vacation!

We had a great time on our family reunion trip to Michihan! The home was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed to enjoy a week's vacation together. We had a 3 kiddos and 7 adults and we all had a relaxing week in this home. The sunsets were definitely a highlight and we enjoyed the porch when it was drizzling, but we still wanted to be outside. Communication before and during our stay was quick and easy, we would definitely stay here again!!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Skarin

My wife of 42 years and I enjoy working together. We poured our hearts into building this home. Our five children and seventeen grandchildren have all added insight into making this vacation home extra special. We all enjoy extending hospitality to others and know that you will build many happy memories at Beach Breeze.

Why they chose this property

Our family selected this property because of the large lot and beautiful beach. It's the perfect place to gather, and we liked the fact that we could build with a walkout basement to add even more windows to enjoy the everchanging waters on Lake Michigan. We prized this private location that was just minutes from the amenities of Saint Joseph's charming downtown.

What makes this property unique

Besides the large sandy beach and stunning sunsets over Lake Michigan, this home exudes charm from the moment you drive up to it. The private back yard with its multiple decks and bluestone patio invites you to sit and relax with a glass of iced tea while reading a book or chatting with friends and family. The generous screened porch offers the perfect place to relax while enjoying spectacular views of Lake Michigan, and the private setting provides the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway with family and friends.
