Unfortunately, my family will not be back to this property for numerous reasons. In short, this property needs an exterminator, a deep clean and updated photos.Most critically, there was rodent poop in the silverware drawer, under the kitchen/bathroom sinks and in multiple closets including the bunkbed room and bathroom. The furniture upon arrival did not match the listing so 2 family members had to sit in camping chairs at the dining room table (only 6 chairs and no extras in the sitting room or kitchen despite photos advertising the same). The outside of the home was unkempt including the patio furniture, patio, walkway to the property, and grass. There is also a protruding wooden board on the sidewalk leading to the back deck. There were no carbon monoxide detectors despite the home having a gas stove. Rooms were missing smoke detectors. Local short term rental laws require the same. While this property is decently close to the beach, provides some games and includes new appliances, we will not be back to this property. We are now crossing our fingers that we don’t get sick from our first vacation as a family.

Property was good. but VRBO never sent me address/key code. I had to track down the host and communicate with her directly. I am still waiting to get my refundable deposit and the visit was almost two weeks ago.
The house itself was nice but basics like a hair dryer, kleenex were not supplied. There were no restaurant menus. there was no book/document that told us where the beaches are, where the restaurants are, how to use the grill, how to use the fire pit on the deck, nothing.
Worst, the advertisement said "Two Minutes to Lake Michigan." I rented it because I assumed it was virtually right on the Lake. But it was actually a 4-minute drive, well over a mile away across a busy highway. False advertising.
Love it for the Location! Located on the Lake Michigan Wine Trail and only 15 minutes from either downtown St Joe or downtown South Haven, you are in the center of all the Southwest Michigan has to offer! Minutes from the home : Hagar Beach 3 min Jean Klock/Tiscornia Beach 10 min Silver Beach 15 min Van Buren State Park 15 min
Football this fall? Notre Dame Stadium 45 min
Go explore and then come home to relax with friends and family and the sounds of Lake MI playing in the background.
