Family Getaway

The Little Blue Cottage was perfect for our family’s getaway! Kira and Jean have thought of and provided everything necessary for families to feel at home away from home. The location is fantastic and the house had plenty of room for all of us.

Fun stay - close to everything!

We had a great stay visiting family in Michigan. So much to do and everything is very close to the cottage (downtown St. Joes, Silver Beach, etc). The cottage is awesome for families and we felt like we had room to spread out. Host was also very communicative. Thanks for a fun trip!

Perfect location

This place was perfect for a long weekend beach vacation with a family of teenagers! Just close enough to great beaches and shopping. The house was adorable and had ample space for all of us. The teens enjoyed their own “space” with the bonus room!

Picture Perfect

Great place for a family. The place isn't only exceptionally clean, it's well decorated and very comfortable. Loved how they had coffee sitting ready for us to use in the morning. Only 5 minutes north of St. Joseph (i.e. great location). Hosts were extremely responsive and very nice. Great stay!

Fun weekend!

We had a family wedding in St. Joseph and this place was the perfect house to rent for the weekend. House was super clean and had all the amenities we were looking for. Very close to a public beach and felt so secluded from all the other homes in the area! Would go back again!
