Charming 1BR/1BA Retreat with private beach access
It was an excellent time staying in this property. Everything was great and we will definitely want to go back. Check in was easy. Managers were so helpful and friendly specially Pamela. Loved the fire-pits outside. Excellent location and very close to a beautiful private beach, local stores and restaurants.

Idyllic A-frame in Michigan’s Harbor Wine Country
Thank you so much for letting us stay at your lovely home over the long weekend! We absolutely loved the place — it was peaceful, cozy, and just what we needed. Callie was incredibly welcoming and responsive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

Hot Tub | Sauna | Walk to Lake | Firepit | Wet Bar
My family absolutely loved our stay! Carrie thought of everything! I truly felt at home during my stay. My absolute favorite part of my stay was the screened in porch. I sat there each morning with my coffee enjoying the peace and quiet. My kids loved all the games and entertainment. I literally did not see them the first night. We were able to walk down to the beach and enjoy Lake Michigan. Carrie is a wonderful host and truly cares about her guests and their experiences. I recommend this property to everyone.

Spacious 3BR Retreat w/ Stunning Marina Views
We have stayed in these condominiums in this building a number of times, Alexa and Carlos’ unit is our favorite.

Upscale Loft Walkable to Beach, Culture + Cuisine
We had a wonderful stay here. We are locals that needed a place to stay during some home renovations. We loved the location. We considered renting a place down by the lake but we chose to be close to all the shops and restaurants and we were very pleased with that decision. The Lake/beach is an easy and pretty walk. Juniper was very accommodating with our dog. We loved the layout and space. The table top shuffle board was a fun add. We highly recommend this place.

Cozy One Bedroom Upstairs Unit, Near Beach
This is our second time staying at Paula’s place. We love staying there. Paula is wonderful to work with and her place is fantastic to stay at.

Stone’s Thoreau I Hot Tub I Firepit I Pets Welcome
I stayed Thurs–Sun and couldn’t have asked for a better solo retreat. I run a wellness business and needed a change of scenery to rest, reflect, and reset. This space delivered all that and more. The home is spotless, everything thoughtfully arranged. The kitchen is fully stocked with a separate pantry, which made it easy to cook all my meals. The soaring ceilings, sliding glass doors, and screened patio created the perfect indoor-outdoor vibe. I never even went to the beach, between the peaceful yard, woodland trail, and hot tub, I didn’t want to leave. My dog loved it too. Johnny and Michelle were responsive and kind, quick to help with a Wi-Fi question, then gave me space to unwind. Favorite moments: morning runs on Lake Shore Dr, sunset cocktail walks to Sundown Park, chill music on the Bluetooth speaker, and lunch at Penny Royal (the veggie sando = 10/10). If you’re looking for a peaceful, elevated stay that feels like a proper reset, this is it. I’ll be back with friends!!

The Garden Hideaway-Quiet, 6 Miles to Silver Beach
Patty was so nice and left a few extras for us while we were there! Great little touches! The price was a big reason we stayed, besides the location. We loved the location. It is just slightly out of the town we planned on visiting. They offered a county park pass, which was perfect for us to enjoy the sunsets at Silver Beach. Patty's communication with us was great and always in a timely manner! We plan to return and stay at this place again in the future. The place was very clean and such a cute studio type downstairs apartment!! The grounds around the home are beautiful!! Such a peaceful place. Loved watching the birds and wildlife outside. It was great getting to meet Patty and her husband in person, as we usually have no real contact with the owners of an Airbnb. Such a sweet couple. Rent their place, you won't be disappointed. Thank you Patty and Dave for such an enjoyable stay at you place!!

Your guide to St. Joseph
Introduction
Saint Joseph may be the best place on the so-called Michigan Riviera for a vacation, especially for families. Silver Beach and Lions Park Beach both promise soft sands and lifeguard-monitored swimming areas. Children will love riding the Silver Beach Carousel and running through the Whirlpool Compass Fountain. With its twin city across the river, Benton Harbor, St. Joseph is the largest town on the southwest coast of Lake Michigan. Adults can break away from the beach to tour local wineries and peruse the downtown boutiques. More active vacationers will find plenty of state parks and hiking trails nearby. If you’re spending the week, you may want to devote an afternoon to exploring the other resort towns along Red Arrow Highway, such as New Buffalo and Lakeside.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in St. Joseph
During summer, peak season at the Lake Michigan coast, the temperature will range between the 70s through the low 90s Fahrenheit from June through August. In late summer the humidity spikes and it rains frequently, so pack rain gear as well as sunblock and mosquito repellent. You’ll want to dress for cooler weather — think layers — in the spring (April-May) and fall (September-November). Western Michigan’s long winter starts in early December and lasts until March. Freezing temperatures are the norm, and the lake contributes extra-cold wind and snow to southern Michigan and northern Indiana.
Top things to do in St. Joseph
Silver Beach Amusement Park
Located just across a park from Silver Beach, this one-block area is a children’s wonderland: They can ride the hand-carved wooden horses on the Silver Beach Carousel, or spend hours running around the play spaces and interactive exhibits at the Curious Kids’ Museum and Discovery Zone.
Warren Dunes State Park
If you haven’t had enough beach time — or you’d like to wander along a bigger expanse of it — Warren Dunes offers three miles of shoreline, as well as hiking trails that snake through the wetlands. If you hear excited screaming, look up to see kids who have climbed to the top of a 250-foot sand dune flying down. Some even hang-glide from the top.
Boating
St. Joseph is located on the mouth of the St. Joseph River, and watercraft rentals are plenty and varied: Steer a kayak up the river, picnic on a pontoon, or take a speed boat for a spin out in the lake. You can also find jet skis, paddleboards, and even a paddleboat designed for big groups.
