Perfect location for a beach trip!

We chose this rental for the location and it was PERFECT! Home is in a great neighborhood of historic homes just a short walk to Silver Beach (about 1/3 mile from the house to a spot on the beach) and to downtown shops and restaurants. We had an absolutely wonderful time!

Sunflower Cottage: Cozy & Cool

We had a wonderful stay here in this homey yet artsy cottage in a beautiful historic neighborhood. The gorgeous beach is an easy walk and the charming downtown is, too. Many local restaurants and shops to enjoy. Big fenced yard for our little dog, too! Unqualified recommendation. We hope to return soon!

Cozy Cottage in St. Joseph

My son and I enjoyed our 6-night stay at this house in St. Joseph. We were just a few blocks from both Silver Beach and downtown St. Joseph. The house itself was nicely decorated in the style of a seaside cottage and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Our Hostess was attentive to ensure our stay was perfect. The property and the neighborhood are charming and a short walk to downtown and the beach. The home was exactly as it was listed and delightful. Our 4yr enjoyed the childs area with a small table and chairs with books,toys and games. We are planning our next visit soon.

Clean, Quaint, Quiet

The cottage is located on a quiet street with many historic homes. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch catching up on our reading and savoring a slice of chocolate cake from the South Bend Chocolate store down the street. The bathroom and kitchen had been updated but still had many features in keeping with the character of the cottage. A huge benefit was the dedicated/private detached garage which allows us to unload and load our SUV (with bikes) securely. It is walking distance to the downtown shops, restaurants and the two beaches without crossing any big streets.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Miller

Host profile image
HI there,

Yoga instructor, writer, social worker, mother of two kids and one big chocolate lab named, Hershey. Grew up in Michigan and plans to retire in St. Joe. I do my very best to be accommodating and very responsive to inquires and questions.

Why they chose this property

Nothing cookie cutter about any of my properties. Want something a little different? Something where you can feel comfortable, something fun and whimsical in an awesome location? You found the right place and my pricing is very reasonable. An entire house for the price of one nice hotel room.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. Walk to everything and feel right at home in a historic and charming neighborhood.
