Lovely Home in Benton Harbor
The house was lovely and perfect for our family of five and dog to spread out in. The kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed and the s'mores bar was a nice touch! Super close to St Joe and easy to get to. Would definitely stay again!

Over the Top
I say over the top because this house has everything!!! And the host supplies items right down to pen and paper for making grocery lists!!! We had a wonderful stay and will stay again. Very roomy, bright, and it felt like home. It was nice enough to sit on the patio and play with our dogs in the yard. I can't express enough how thoroughly pleased and happy I was to stay at such a lovely place!

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.

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!

St. Joe/Benton Harbor vacation
This was a family vacation in southwestern Michigan and our first time using a VRBO property. The facility was as described and perfect for our family. The backyard was gorgeous and the hosts provided all the amenities needed to make our stay even more carefree and enjoyable. We were delighted at the fenced in yard which allowed us to bring our beloved pet. We would definitely stay at this property again and will use VRBO for future travels!

Summer family fun trip
The home was perfect for our intended use and locale. The home was very well-kept and clean with thoughtful amenities for young families. The fenced yard was ideal for our small pets and small kids. After each day’s excursion we would enjoy the yard for ball play amongst all.

Great Time
This was a great place to stay. We did a short 3 day vacation with our son, his wife and 4 children. The area had plenty for them to do with the beach, carrousel, pizza etc. When we came back to the house there were plenty of games for inside and outside. The kids absolutely loved the smores bar! We even had a firepit because the wood is kept dry in the garage. On top of all that the house was well stocked with supplies and we didn't need to buy anything, This house is VRBO done right! Good job guys!

60th Birthday Celebration!!
House was spotless however the beds were unacceptable! For two couples the master bedroom bed was just ok however the second bed was horrible as are guests did not sleep well!The third bedroom had bunk beds not suitable for a couple! Its unfortunate because we would definitely stay here again if they put some nice beds in here! For a family with kids its perfect getaway however for all adults if you value sleep I wouldnt advise! If they upgraded the beds we would definitely be here year after year! Love the area the house has just about everything you need! The back deck is very nice and yard is spacious as well!

Excellent home for extended stay!
My husband, dog and I drove from NC to Michigan for a work trip. We all enjoyed staying at this awesome home for 15 days. Our dog loved the fenced in backyard and the home was extremely comfortable and met all of our needs. We would definitely stay here again for a vacation! Hosts are extremely responsive, but we truly did not need to contact them often because the home had everything we needed! Visiting Silver Beach and Downtown St. Joseph are a must! Home is in a great location and close to everything.

The perfect family vacation
LOVED this property! Had everything we needed for a week-long family vacation with two Littles (3yo and 5yo). Kitchen was well-stocked including those little extras like salt/pepper, cooking oil, foil, some cleaning supplies, and house had lots of extra amenities including games and toys - enough to keep my monsters occupied during 2 rainy days! Super close to our fave super secret beach - Rocky Gap and only 3 minutes into St Joe for great dinner. Furniture was comfortable and plenty of room for us all to spread out. Mattresses were very comfy. House was extremely clean. We had a wonderful time!!!
