Loved the house! It is an older home that is clean and fresh. Very quaint and cozy. And great location for easy access to Lake Michigan beaches and downtown St. Joe. We had 7 adults and 5 kids and never felt crowded in the house. The fenced in backyard was a bonus for the kids and seats on the porch for the adults! Great communication with the host. Definitely would stay here again.
Great location and a nice house. Very easy walk to the beach or town and the path behind was nice feature for kids on bikes. Host was fantastic. I’d stay here again.
This is a perfect location for a vacation in St. Joseph! It is super close to the beach and the downtown. I did not get in my car once during our visit. The property is very accurately described and the two living spaces worked well. Jennifer, the host, was very responsive.
Our stay at this house was very enjoyable. It’s in a great location within walking distance of the beach and also all the shops and restaurants uptown. Communication with the owner was very user-friendly. We will definitely consider staying here again.

Thank you, Doug, for staying at the Sand Rabbit. Please come back again soon!
We have come here for years . We love the location and the timely response if there are any issues .It is an older home so we have learned to adjust our expectations . It works perfect for our family summer gatherings while some stay at the Boulevard in town ,we can still all gather at night to engage with one another.
The property was in a super convenient spot! We loved walking to the beach! We had extended family up and wanted to prepare meals and this was not an easy task with the extremely limited kitchen utensil and pots/pans/larger serving bowls. The quality of the pots and pans was a little poor—some nonstick pans would’ve been so much more convenient and easier to clean.We stayed at the downstairs duplex and had to borrow a large pan from family upstairs to make pasta. We love to go out but also enjoy an occasional family dinner while traveling so this was frustrating.The silverware could’ve been a little more plentiful as well.We did enjoy being able to bring our Dachsund though! The kids had a blast regardless.The gutters did overflow massively during a rainstorm and we noted there are plants literally growing in most of the gutter areas. This is causing some serious draining issues so I do hope the owner takes care of this to avoid further damage.Great location and great owner communication.

Yes, we are two houses to the beach so glad you loved the location! In the summer we rent the whole house like it’s one big house (even though it’s technically two units) and, as a result, guests move dishes/silverware/pots and pans around. We aren’t able to supervise where people put things, but there should be plenty of dishes, etc when you combined the two kitchens. Regarding the gutters we have a gutter guard, which apparently hasn’t been working that well, but it supposed to not allow debris in the gutter. Regardless, I’ll have it checked out this week.
Glad you enjoyed your vacation and appreciate the feedback.
Good location for multi generational group. Close to town when weather got iffy but close enough to the beach and parks when the sun appeared. Owner easy to work with but its our third time renting here so we might be a little bias.
The house was absolutely perfect for our group. Loved that it was 2 separate rentals. Walking distance to beach and also to the events up on the bluff. Hardy used car, walked everywhere. Would totally rent this house again!

Very comfortably fit 12 of us, with two different gathering spaces that was perfect in the evenings and afternoons with a dining space that comfortably fit us all. Very clean, cute.. and so close to the beach! Host maintained constant communication, strong WIFI.. no issues, wonderful week!

So glad you enjoyed the Sand Rabbit and the location! Please come back and visit again soon. Jennifer
Tha rabbitt has been our preferred beach home for most of the last 10 years. Our beach home away from home. Plenty of room for multiple families kids and adults. Offers room for family style dining. Fenced back yard for privacy. Decks upstairs and down to relax, unwind and enjoy sunsets. You can park your car for the week and take a short walk to the beach,pizza and ice cream!

Thank you for the review and making the Sand Rabbit your beach home away from home for nearly ten years! Appreciate you and so happy to hear about your sweet memories (beach, pizza and ice cream- sounds perfect to me). Yum! Hope to see you next summer! Thanks. Jennifer
My daughter was married over Memorial Fay weekend near by and this place was just perfect for our immediate family to stay. It was just perfect with both units. It allowed us to all be close together. The home was close to the beach and town.
It was clean and well kept. The owner was easily accessible. We would highly recommend this place for either one side or both.
Fantastic vacation and accommodations. Overall this vacation rental was absolutely fantastic. Six bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths accommodated all of our family members. Plenty of room in the dining room for everybody to eat dinner when we did eat inside. Fenced in backyard was perfect for our little guests. Upstairs and downstairs balconies for outdoor relaxation as well as a small deck in the back of the house. Parking in the back was perfect for our large family. Access to two different beaches was outstanding. The listing agent was nothing less than phenomenal. Quickly returns any text messages with any concerns that you might have. We are definitely going to rent this property again. If there is anything that I can say would improve our visit it would be a new refrigerator downstairs and seating accommodations in the backyard such as a picnic table. More toilet paper and more paper towels are definitely needed.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Please come back soon. Thanks for making the Sand Rabbit part of your family vacation memories! Y’all are welcome anytime.
Starting with the reservation everything was so very easy to do! Communication with the owner was quick and easy as we only had a few questions , no issues for 7 day's an 7 night,s stay. We had a 3 yr old, a 5yr old and 3- 9 yr olds and six adults. A very safe location at no time did we feel we had to lock anything up. The back yard was shady and wonderful for all the kids ((and us ) to hang out on the porch , front and back and upstairs balconies, At no time did want for space. a lot of room and very Comfortable, clean well supplied and two sets of washer and driers as we rented both the upstairs and down stairs. Internet was great no issues as we had two adults working during some of the days . Parking was great , no issues for three cars . We were so close to down town and the night life area we all walked everywhere all week. The beach was close very close, 200 yards maybe . Easy flat walk to the sand. We had a wagon for all the goodies and we left most of the umbrellas and things all day once we set up. We were not at the very busy area. What a great place. Decorated so nicely at the the Rabbit Thank you for a wonderful stay Jennifer! Will be back again.

Hi Danny, Thank you so much for your review! So happy to hear everyone had a great time at the beach and downtown. And y’all enjoyed the house. Yes, please come back again soon for another visit! Jennifer
The outstanding feature of Sand Rabbit is its proximity to a beautiful Lake Michigan beach which can be reached in a short 5-minute walk and the descent to the beach is only about 10 to 15 feet albeit over a bit hazardous anti erosion large stone bank. It is close enough to haul your beach toys by hand back and forth to the lake. We found a variety of beach items like floaties, beach chairs, beach toys, apparently left by former renters, in the garage. If you ride your bike or hike, this location is great for places to ride and hike, along Silver Beach front, out to the breakwater, to downtown, a park along the river and a trail along the railroad tracks to a foot bridge over the railroad tracks south of the house. And there is an ice cream store for after dinner cones a short 15-minute walk to downtown and nearby benches at the top of the bluff overlooking Silver Beach on which to sit while consuming the cones and viewing the sunset. There is adequate and convenient off-street parking behind the house. The grill, being charcoal fired rather than with gas, was a bit of a disappointment. We did not use it. Check-in/out is quick and convenient via number coded locks on the doors. We found the porches at the back and front of the house reasonably equipped with tables and chairs and we spent a lot of time there. We found the hostess is always available and very quick responding via text messaging. In general, our 11 member 3-generation family reunion was a success.
Besides the great location and lots of room to spread out, our favorite things were the porches. The front porch for morning coffee and evening drinks and ice cream. The back porch for getting our beach stuff ready for the day and cleaning it up (and the kids) at the end of the day.
This was the perfect stay for our weekend away. The location was awesome and the house was clean and comfortable. Jennifer did a great job and went above and beyond to help us enjoy our weekend wedding with family.
We used this time to get together with a bunch of old friends and enjoy golf, the beach and all St Joe's has to offer. This place was a great location and was a perfect place to relax in the back yard, the deck or the porches after a long day on the town or on the beach. Check in was easy, the place was well maintained, and communications if I had any questions was easy and handled quickly. no complaints here.
