Historic St. Joseph neighborhood: Lovely and comfortable two story

A two-story 4 bedroom 2 bath cottage just blocks from the beach, downtown St. Joseph, and many other attractions and points of interest. Up on the bluff, so you don’t have the crowds and the walk up the bluff to town. Perfect for one or two families. Sleeps 9, with kitchenette and breakfast nook upstairs and full kitchen and dining room downstairs. Parking for 2 cars and an easy walk to Silver Beach, fountain, restaurants and many other local attractions. Free WiFi internet, Central AC. Charcoal grill. No yard but front porch for relaxing in this quiet historic old neighborhood.

Clean, comfortable and close to bluff/downtown
My husband and I stayed here with my 3 young adult children and their significant others (ages 22-28). Chris and Dave's home worked great for our group. Two couples stayed upstairs, my single son downstairs, and we had the master bedroom. Everyone enjoyed playing games at the huge dining room table (plus the younger ones played games upstairs some nights). The parking worked great with the two spots off the alley and one on the street (we called the number to let them know we'd have a car on the street). It was super convenient to be able to walk downtown, over to the bluff, even down to Silver Beach Pizza. Our family made some lovely memories and we hope to be back!

LOVE the location!
This is our second time to stay at this property, and we absolutely love the location. Being able to walk down to the beach, to Silver Beach Pizza, to the shops and Kilwin's, and then being able to walk back "home" for a break whenever we need it is wonderful. My 3 kids also enjoy being able to have their own space and not have to share a bedroom. Chris is very easy to work with and quick to respond to questions. We will be back!

Lovely time
Had a great time with family. Everyone had their own space. Great having 2 bathrooms. Location great for walking to town and the beach. Air conditioner kept up even on the really hot days. Needs a new couch but overall lovely.

Great location!
We had a great time in St. Joe! The house is in a fantastic location, so close to everything. David was very helpful when we had an issue with one of the TVs. He came over right away to address it and made sure we were satisfied.

Cute little home in a safe, lovely, historic area. Just a short walk away from beautiful downtown St Joe and Silver Beach. So enjoyed walking on the bluff with my family. The owners responded very quickly to any inquiries and were very kind, helpful, and generous. Highly recommend this family friendly home. 😊
