Beautiful view
We had a wonderful long weekend trip. There was 10 of us and the rooms were all very nice. The kitchen was well stocked with all of our cooking needs. Nice having St. Joe so close by. Communication with Heather and Lorn was excellent. My granddaughter wanted to live there forever.

Great House for All Ages
Our family stayed there and had kids from ages 8-15 and adults of all age ranges as well. The home was spacious enough for us all to be able to have our private time in mornings and open enough where we could all gather in the same room (most time spent on the back porch as it was a gorgeous weekend! When we were there they stairs to the beach were closed off due to some erosion, so that would be the only thing I would hope could get fixed.

Big Backyard to Enjoy Breathtaking Views of Lake Michigan
Beautiful and spacious home with amazing view of Lake Michigan. We spent each night of 4 night stay watching the sunset over the lake. The home comfortable slept 6 adults and 4 children. Bonus was the swing set and slide for our active toddlers. We were able to utlized most of the ammenties such as grill and fire pit. We did not take advantage of sauna due to the kid ages but everything was well organized, practical and clean. The Jean Klock park is a quite drive/ few minutes away -easy beach access. The host shared a link to a ton of details of the home and nearby area prior to our arrival. Overall a great stay for our group of friends and kids.
