This was the perfect home away from home while we were visiting family in the area. The set up was perfect for both our kids and pup, with the fenced in yard and plenty of games to keep everyone entertained! The house was spotless and the check in process was incredibly smooth. The hosts responded to our questions quickly, and made sure we had everything we needed for beach days!

We really enjoyed our stay. House was very clean and exceptionally well stocked in terms of everything kitchen, towels and extras like corn hole and board games. Location was ideal. We could walk/ bike to nearby trails, and had short drives to other outdoor and cultural attractions. Very easy drive to Benton Harbor and St. Joseph’s. Garage access was a plus for bike storage.

My husband and I really enjoyed our recent stay. The house and yard were very clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable and the casual seating areas both in and outdoors were very welcoming. We brought our small family dog. The home was conveniently located to Rocky Gap Beach as well as downtown St. Joe. We found excellent shopping and dining experiences every day. Once downtown we enjoyed walking to Silver Beach, museums, local artists shops, sculpture exhibits and free concerts. Five nights out of six we took in the most glorious sunsets. The amenities the host provided are exactly as stated for this lovely home. The host made communications for check-in and checkout a breeze. We would definitely consider staying here again. It was a perfect location for us.

Great place to rent in a nice quiet area. The house had everything we needed. The bonus was the s’more supplies to use with the fire pit. We really appreciated that all the cabinets were labeled w/its contents. Soaps, laundry detergent & a water cooler was available to use. They also had treats & bowls to use for our dog along w/bags in the yard to dispose of his waste. He & us appreciated that. The host was fantastic at communicating!

Great place you're Benton harbor for families to stay

We stayed here with our four kids (12-2), and they all had a blast. The home was super clean and everyone fit comfortably into their bedrooms. The enclosed backyard and fire pit made for a fun play time and s'mores after dinner. Will definitely be staying here again when we come back!

The hosts were very responsive to all messages and checked in - and ploughed- during the snow storm! Also, the house was incredibly well stocked with kitchen appliances and utensils, and with baby gear should you need it. The house and furniture were in excellent condition and the fenced yard was great for dogs!

Met family for Christmas. House was everything we could ask for. Big fenced yard for the dogs. Very well stocked with everything you could need. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to book in this area. Will probably go back in the summer and check out the beaches and wineries.

Great Place to Stay!

The house was clean with a huge fenced backyard for our dog to run around. Short drive to beaches and restaurants/breweries. The host provides more than most rentals - firewood, s’mores for fire pit, plenty of toilet paper/paper towels, beach towels, beach chairs, etc. Would stay here again!

Long Weekend

Stayed here for a long weekend with my partner and our dogs. Really easy to get into town and close to Warren Dunes. The house itself was the perfect spot for just relaxing and hanging out, and the dogs loved the fenced in backyard.
