- "Property is updated and very clean. It looks just as it does in pictures. Private beach is amazing and such a nice extra that you don't get for most rentals. Adults and kids had a great time - will definitely be coming back!" - "Wonderful beach location! The view from the condo bluff was breathtaking for sunsets, the private beach was exactly what my family of 6 was looking for! The condo it’s self was clean and good size. The beds we’re comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked. It had everything we needed, especially appreciated the washer and dryer and the golf cart which made getting to and from the beach a breeze! The pool was warm and bigger then the pictures! We are already hoping to come back next year!"

We ended up getting an air mattress and sleeping on that plus the couch (not folded out) because the mattress on the hide-a-bed didn’t seem like it would be comfortable to sleep on. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable. The property was quiet and overall we enjoyed our stay!" - "Size, usages, and location were perfect. Absolutely quiet and away from town!"

- "The Monroe House was just what our family needed as an end of summer retreat. The home had plenty of space for our three kiddos to roam about while also feeling close and cozy for games and movie night in. It's no further than 15 mins to get anywhere you could need for accustomed amenities (groceries, gas, or chain restaurants), and is also minutes from beaches, parks and local restaurants. We enjoyed Silver Beach and walking around St Joe as well as hiking down to the lake closer to the air bnb at Hagar Park (there are a lot of stairs, but we found it completely manageable even with a 1yo, 4yo, & preteen). On the last evening we went to Jean Klock park and took family photos. It was absolutely stunning at sunset! Monroe House is clean, well stocked for utilizing the kitchen, and the backyard & hot tub were favorites! 10/10 recommend this stay for a slow and relaxed environment allowing you to enjoy a homey get away without being too far off the beaten path."

- "Very clean, and a perfect size for two! Close to park with beach access." - "Worked for me as my stay was a business trip. Side note: microwave stopped working." - "Check-in was easy and thoroughly explained by the property owners. We found the location with ease and parking was really close to the rental. ***This place was clean and had the essentials that you need. We took a walk around the neighborhood, it was super cute and seems secluded from the busy street nearby. ***If you are a traveler that doesn't require wheelchair accessibility, I would recommend Hagar Shores Beach about 1.4 miles down the road. Not very populated and perfect for sunset (lots of stairs to access). *** Book this place if you plan to be on the go for most of your trip! There is no living room so there isn't anywhere to hangout in your down time except for the bedroom and dinner table. The picture of the bedroom shows a black chair which is not in there. Instead, there is a cute work desk/lamp with smaller black chair. *** Hammocks listed in description and pictures will require you to set them up yourself (located in a game box in the front of the property) and make sure you bring lawn chairs/wood to sit around the fire if that sounds like your plan! ***You will be staying near other people in case you miss that in the details. ***Upon arrival, there were a surplus of bugs floating around in the kitchen area and bedroom. They were also in the bed! Just your simple outside bugs, nothing scary. The source of this was behind the air conditioning unit, there is a gap in the window that was allowing bugs to come in! You can stuff it with a towel and that made the bug count drop real quick. With all being said, my husband and I enjoyed our stay. Don't let my review scare you! I just made it as informative as I could. We used some of the yard games and explored the neighborhood a couple times. It has a sense of seclusion due to the forested area. The bed was comfortable, shower hot, kitchen clean and cute...It was very relaxing and I'm glad we chose the location. The location is of equal distance from Saint Joseph and South Haven, both towns about 15 minutes away. We spent one day in each town and enjoyed that a lot. It was nice to be able to be back to our rental so quickly! The place has a lot of charm."

- "This was our 2nd stay at this property, and we will be back next year! The property is exactly as described— very comfortable, attractively decorated, with just what we need for our vacation. We love the location; it’s so easy to get around to area sites, beaches, rest, etc. The property host, Drew, is courteous, helpful, and very responsive to our emails/contacts. The price is good, the cleanliness is great, it’s not the most modern of accommodations— which I actually prefer, because it has a cozy feel."

Our neighborhood outside Lake Michigan is made up of gravel roads and can require vehicles with four wheel access in the winter due to snow.

The hot tub and sauna are operable all year round and enjoyable even (maybe especially!) in the colder months. Some light snow or ice removal around the walkways surrounding amenities may be needed to be done by guests between professional snow removal for safety, comfort, and accessibility. The streets leading from town to the property may be difficult to drive through during large storms until crews can clear them.

We regularly clean and clear the natural debris that falls from our surrounding tree canopy but you will likely see remnants of sap, acorns, pine needles, leaves, and sand from our sandy soil yard on our decks, outdoor furniture, and around the hot tub and sauna. Nature is all around so bugs and wildlife are present — you’ll love the natural feel of our space!

- "The view is a 10/10." - "Enjoyed an amazing birthday in a beautiful area. The duplex was beautiful, serene, peaceful, exactly what I was looking for. We will be renting again!" - "The original VRBO listing said entire home, but later the details on the Vacasa confirmation said lower unit. We proceeded even after seeing that because the pictures of the house all showed a 3 story house, nice deck, and views of the lake. We assumed from the pictures that the lower level meant the lower level of the house. Instead, this is actually a hastily put together basement apartment. The listing was very misleading and also failed to mention to 88 stairs to get down to the beach. There were people renting the main house who also seemed surprised to be sharing the yard, deck, and beach access, so I assume their listing wasn’t clear either. This might be fine if you were visiting in summer and aren’t planning to spend any time inside. For the price, it does have a beautiful beach."

- "We were hunting real estate this weekend and this was the perfect place for us to stay. The communication was thurough and timely. We took their recommendation about the restaurant across the street and were very happy with the results." - "The only feedback for improvement is that the water pressure in the shower was too low." - "This property is an updated 3 season cottage that was mostly great. Halfway between St Joseph and South Haven, so 15 to 20 minutes from a lot of activites, restaurants, beaches, etc. Bedrooms are super small, kitchen and bathroom are also nice. Living room has a tiny flat panel tv mounted on an otherwise bare wall. The couch is an old white and blue beach style couch. Think preppy button down oxford stripes. Frankly it was filthy to the point where my 17 yr old refused to sit on it. Have it professionally cleaned or replace it. Overall note quite worth the price."
