Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in St. Joseph

My wife and I have stayed at many vacation home rentals over the years, this one was one of the very best! First, I booked they house late afternoon on the day we wanted to arrive. Sarah responded immediately, accepted our booking and got me the access code to the property. It was all done within a few minutes! The house was beautifully decorated (my wife loved it and she is a designer!), well appointed and located very conveniently to all of the places we wanted to spend our time. We loved the hot tub, used the sauna almost every morning and our Golden Doodle loved the big fenced in back yard. Sarah and Brady are unbelievably responsive to needs too! One evening we wanted to enjoy the fire pit, but they were out of fire starters. I contacted Sarah at 7:36p, she responded at 7:37p and by 7:51 Brandy had already dropped a box of fire starters on the front porch! What?!?!?! Amazing. I HIGHLY recommend this place, we will be back!

This is our second stay in this home. Quaint, clean, and in the heart of New Buffalo. We loved that our dog could join us! Plenty of towels, linens, cleaning supplies, and amenities that made our stay comfortable. I highly recommend!

The house was super cute and comfortable! You literally are 5 minutes from so many attractions and restaurants! We had a great stay :)

The house was very clean and cute. Small but everything we needed. Quiet and convenient to nearby restaurants and wineries. Nick was very responsive and helpful for our stay. There was a nice fire pit in the back with tons of firewood. Great place.

This is such a beautiful home! Got the chance to unplug and feel right at home within the trees. Lots to do in the area too, went to the zoo, winery, and a brewery. Laurel was great and had a bunch of notes around the home that were super informative and helpful. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who’s looking to slow things down and connect with nature.

The excellent taste of the hosts sets this rental apart from the rest. The decor in the home is beautifully curated. When you combine that with the views, it's a perfect vacation spot! We were grateful to be able to return for our fourth visit to Charles and Jeremy's home. Thank you for sharing it with us--we love it!

This place is even more magical in person and perfectly accommodated our group of 10! We loved it so much that we looked to book again this summer, but it was all full. Hopefully will return next year—everything was perfect! The house is clean, has so much space, all of the amenities you could need, and the view/ beach was so beautiful. Highly recommend staying here—we can’t say enough good things!

The reviews were accurate about the property being clean. It was much appreciated! Laura was very thoughtful in providing the amenities in the home. The yard and landscaping were a pleasant addition and added to a peaceful stay. We very much enjoyed our time in St Joe!

Great place. I wish I would have gotten there at check-in time, so I could have enjoyed the river more!

The location is excellent! Very walkable to town and Lake Michigan. The bed is on the firm side if you like that and bedroom is small. Netflix available was a plus.

We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. My husband, our 15 month old, and I are moving to Ethiopia in a couple of months and we needed to spend one last time with our family. Fern’s listing was so close to where our family lived and we were able to have our own space and also spend time with family. We got to meet and visit with our host one morning and they were so friendly and welcoming!! We will definitely choose these wonderful accommodations again if we ever come back.

Loved my stay! The farm was gorgeous and so peaceful and rejuvenating. Wish I could’ve stayed longer and would definitely stay again. Dan and Suzanne were friendly and helpful and the apartment was comfortable, well-equipped and beautifully decorated. 5 stars!

Becky's place was very nice and the backyard was beautiful! We even saw fireflies!

We had an amazing time! Me and my boyfriend stayed for one night, the patio and dock were super cozy and we really enjoyed sitting out there at night just listening to music and having some drinks. Super nice area, the beach isn't too far and they have some fun bars and restaurants in the area. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

absolutely wonderful little place. every destination you can think of was less than 5min away. The Warren Dunes was only a 5min drive, there was a beautiful forest preserve called Sugarwood Forest Preserve that was 3min away. We drove a little less than 15min into New Buffalo for a burger at Redamak's, that is a must if you're in the area. The bed was extremely comfy. She left plenty of snacks and even made us fresh muffins upon our arrival. 10/10 id come visit again!

My best friend and I took our annual girl’s trip to Michigan and we are so glad we chose Amy & Derek’s place! It was peaceful and secluded. As silly as it may sound, we liked having the dehumidifier. The place we stayed at last year in Saugatuck had a lot of humidity, causing our stuff to be quite damp. It’s a nice touch! We loved being greeted by the kitties! Amy & Derek were friendly and accommodating! I recommend staying at their place! 💐

Felt very peaceful & private, but still just steps away from town. We decided to stay in town very last-minute & extend our trip — Debbie & Jeff were so responsive, flexible, & helpful! Super great spot with tons of room & great hosting space, if that’s what you’re looking for!

This was the perfect place for us! It was only a few minutes drive from downtown. Could walk to the beach if you wanted. Kitchen had all the amenities. We didn't get to use the outdoor areas due to the time of year but would be so nice in another season. Owners were very helpful and responsive. Beaches are clean and sunsets are beautiful. It's only about a 30 minute or less drive to St. Josephs, Benton Harbor, Saugatuck, Holland. We did them all! Would definitely stay here again!

Let me begin by saying we can’t wait to stay again. The location was absolutely amazing, particularly if you, like us, adore sunsets. We enjoyed the walk to the beach which is on the property and found the sunsets breathtaking. The beach is beautiful and allowed us to walk three miles. The unit was very clean and had what we needed. We were able to cook in two nights and enjoy a Saugutuck restaurant one evening. Patricia was very communicative and was prompt in responses to questions. We simply could not have enjoyed a better stay. We look forward to coming back.

Sharon’s place is just perfect! Very clean, peaceful area, lacked for nothing. You can’t go wrong here.

We stayed here for my sisters bachelorette weekend, it was perfect! Everything is within walking distance or a short drive away! Would definitely come again.

Our family of 4 really enjoyed our short 2 night midweek stay here. Excellent location that is close to the beach and downtown Saugatuck. The heated pool and gas fire pits were really nice after we got back from a day of exploring the area. Isabel’s was just a short walk across the parking lot - great bakery, coffee shop, and market with unique foodie options. We would love to come back here.

Catherine's Beach House was the perfect place to stay for our fall trip to South Haven. It was close to the area beaches, shops and other amenities. The Beach House has everything plus more! My little ones loved the children's toys and books that were available. We cooked all of our meals at Catherine's place which was a huge plus. The host went above and beyond with information about local events, places to visit and restaurants to try. Catherine was responsive and incredibly kind. We hope to visit the Beach House again soon!

We absolutely loved this place and our stay. The lake views were more beautiful than the photos could show, the chalet is comfortable and well-stocked, and there was so much to do in the community that we didn't even scratch the surface. We loved the beach area which wasn't crowded at all, even on Labor Day weekend. We drove in to St. Joseph for dinner and to go to ur favorite shops - super easy drive. The walk to the beach was so short we didn't even take a lunch out there, just popped up to the house whenever we needed a restroom break or a snack. We never needed to contact Ben but got plenty of communication beforehand and the manual in the house provided info of how to text him if we needed to. We would definitely stay here again, highly recommend!
