EVERYTHING provided! AAAA+ location right on Lake Michigan!!

My husband and I have stayed at quite a few vacation rentals and this one was BY FAR the most fully stocked with every possible amenity. My favorite was the inflatable chairs for relaxing on the water! We HIGHLY recommend this property!

This home is beautifully furnished and thoughtfully equipped for families. The downstairs is ideal for parents, kids, and even their friends, thanks to a spacious bunk room that comfortably sleeps six. Upstairs, a cozy bedroom with a private en suite makes a great retreat for in-laws or another couple if you're sharing the space. The location is stunning, with breathtaking views and a wide beach that offers plenty of spots beyond the sand to relax and take it all in. Everything about our stay was perfect—we’ll definitely be back!

Had an awesome time. Property was much better that we could have imagined. 7 high school buddies from 1979. Couldn't have been better except for a 16 hour power outage caused by a severe storm.

Great little getaway!

We loved the house the minute we pulled in the drive. Kitchen was fully stocked with everthing we needed. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of beach towels. It’s directly on the beach! About 42 steps down to the beach. There were beach toys, kayaks and paddle board which our girls loved! And many adult and child size life jackets for safety. That was a plus!! There’s 2 decks on the house, a fire pit area, a beach watching deck and an actual deck on the sand with tables, lounge chairs and umbrella. To say the least, it was a wonderful set up and amazing property!

Loved the beach access, the paddleboards, easy and short walk to beach, and gazebo on the beach for shade when we wanted it. Rates in top 5 of our rentals ever! Was just my husband and I for 2 nights. We will bring family back for a longer stay next time. Had everything we needed.

Our Favorite Place

This remains our favorite place to stay. We love the view. The lake is beautiful. I could sit on that balcony all day long. The house and decor are great. It's close enough to St. Joseph to do things there if you want to do that.

Gorgeous Sunsets !

This home was very clean. The views were spectacular! From the top deck of the house, the fire pit, the deck with the chairs to the deck down on the beach. We so enjoyed this home! We used the gas grill for cooking burgers one night. Went to Di Maggio’s just down the street for excellent pizza and some drinks. Had a great time celebrating my 65th birthday at Jacobia!!!
