Beautiful condo, had everything we needed and more!! Kayaks were super fun and the paddle board was a blast! Having comfy chairs that were easy to transport was awesome!! Fred was super helpful with checking us in, showing us the ropes and checking us out! Quick drive to beach and downtown! Walk to Planks for lunch or dinner on the water - great live music! Cliffords was a short walk for an amazing breakfast! We would definitely stay here again!!

Thank you, Abbi! We are thrilled that you had a fabulous time at Happy Harbor Shores. Thank you for being such a considerate and respectful guest. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
This is a beautiful new home I would recommend to anyone staying in the St. Joseph / Benton Harbor area. The home is conveniently located to all your needs and is appointed with everything you need for your stay. The property manager is most attentive and available at a moments notice. Quite possibly the best rental we have stayed in!

Dave is a fantastic guest! He was communicative, considerate and left our home in perfect condition! We would love to host him again! Thank you Dave!
This home is as good or better than advertised. Clean, well outfitted, and a great layout.
The owners and hosts have really thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and worry free.
One suggestion I made is to relocate the thermostat from the upstairs landing to the main bedroom as the warm air rising from the first floor shut off the heat leaving the bedrooms and bathrooms much colder.

Glad you enjoyed the stay! Appreciate the feedback. Hope to see you again soon!
We came to this house with a large age range of guests. 7 people in total starting at age 4. The house gave everyone plenty of space to relax and hangout. The property is in wonderful condition and has everything you will need to cook, play games, and make memories with your family. The fire pit outside was fun to sit around and kept us warm on the chilly January nights. The location was close to town but still quiet and not located on a busy street. It was also very close to the beach, splash pad and lighthouses. We will stay at this location again!

Thank you for the kind review! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. You are respectful and considerate guests! Hope to see you back soon!
Lovely, clean condo. Had everything we needed, although we would have loved having some blackout curtains as the rooms get a lot of sunlight and we had kids that went to bed early. We all had a great time and everything is just a short drive away (not really much within walking distance). Kids loved having access to the pool, which we used almost daily. I thought we'd be able to use the water sports equipment straight from the condo, but there really isn't any easy water access. Also, I wasn't aware that a train runs at all times of day/night directly behind the condo and this property also shares an entrance with the hotel so we had a fair amount of noise during the night. Overall, it's a safe, nice community to stay in and we had a fun time. Thank you!
