Great rental, close to the beach!

The house is fantastic. There is plenty of space, it's very clean, comfortable beds and couches, all decorated so cute. Couldn't ask for a better location, 15 minutes to several great beaches and the town of St Joseph, less than 5 minutes to grocery. We usually visit St Joseph's every year and we will definitely book this house again!

Great stay!

Great little house with everything we needed for our few days! The home was clean and well stocked. We never heard noise from the neighborhood or streets, which was great since we're light sleepers. There was extra bedding & beach towels available. The washer & dryer were convenient. It was about a 10 minute drive to Silver Beach & all the downtown shops. The price was comparable to staying in some hotels on the same dates, with a lot more space for our family.

About the host

Hosted by Richard and Rhonda Koch

Host profile image
After retiring, we wanted something to keep us busy. Rhonda worked as a nurse for many years. Richard was a marriage and family therapist with a private practice. We moved to this area in 2013 because we had visited many times, and always saw ourselves retiring here. It eventually became a reality, and we have never regretted it. We are always available for questions or assistance. We live two minutes away.

Why they chose this property

Very close to our residence, not too large to manage, and close to downtown with the beaches and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Completely renovated, large yard, totally private, and walkable neighborhood
