A group of 14 of us stayed Thursday through Sunday to celebrate upcoming wedding of two of our closest friends. Played camp games on the large back yard and spent the day at the private beach (would not recommend for those who cannot handle many stairs down). Watched the sunset from the balcony - gorgeous each night! Property is stunning, clean and peaceful. Only missing item was the hot tub listed in amenities but we were so sunburnt after day one we weren’t missing it. Jim is extremely responsive and everything you need is provided! Highly recommend, I know we will be back! ##### Bridget H.

The house is a first-class, well-decorated, and spacious property. We had our family of young adults whose sleep schedule was much different than that of their elders. The open floor plan made it difficult to contain the terrace level joyful noise from the 3rd floor bedroom level. The close proximity to the public beach in St. Joseph mitigated the 175 steps to the private beach of this house. The kitchen is well-equipped for gourmet chefs. The sunset views were spectacular.. This was a good value for a family reunion. Thank you. ##### William J.

The home is beautifully decorated and in a lovely setting. With five bedrooms, four with ensuite bathrooms, everyone had plenty of space. We also enjoyed the lower level for recreational activities and the screened-in porch for meals and conversation. As others have stated, the only drawback is the steep walkway to the beach (especially for older adults with mobility issues and very young children). However, we discovered a wonderful beach nearby at Jean Klock Park and took advantage of this local resource. Jim and Linda are wonderful hosts and were available whenever we had questions. Thanks for a wonderful week! ##### Jane K.

The St. Joes area was new to some of us, and we made a great choice of locale and accommodation. The home provided comfortable gathering space for preparing meals, playing cards and watching Premier League opening soccer matches. The patio fire pit was a nightly ritual and the beach a daily delight. The expansive backyard provided a sense of privacy and grandeur, and reminded me more of parts of old time Newport RI or Cape Cod, rather than the typical crowded cottage areas of some resort areas. The beds were supremely comfortable and nights were so quiet allowing the waves to lull one to sleep. None of us had difficulty with the beach steps, which are so thoughtfully designed. Never saw more than 2 or 3 other people on the beach. If you’re looking for a sense of luxury indoors and nature’s beauty outdoors ( and proximity to great golf) this is the place for your group. Jim, the homeowner, is cordial and responsive. You will not be disappointed. ##### Roseanne O.

It's roomy, comfortable, attractive, and well-designed. Kitchen is great with plenty of countertops and storage and a 6-burner range. Plenty of beds for our 8 family members, ample parking for 3 cars. Property owner was a pleasure to work with and very responsive to our every question and request. He apparently monitors the property from his home because when we had a brief power outage he called us to make sure we had everything we needed. The beach is beautiful, clean, wide, sandy, and uncrowded. We didn't even notice any power boat and wave runner noise like we always have at so many other rental properties. The property is almost perfect, but for two drawbacks. First, because the house sits so close to the highway, there is considerable road noise when you're sitting out on the spacious screened-in porch, which is a shame because we would have used that space more more often otherwise. Inside the house, there is no road noise at all. Second, access to the beach is very difficult. There is a stairway down which is 175 steps long, very steep, and in spots a little treacherous. Not an easy descent at all and even more taxing coming up. The access didn't seem to bother the teenagers in our group, but some of the older members of our party -- especially my 91-year-old father-in-law -- simply could not make the trip. ##### Geoff G.

It is in tip top condition and offers many amenities. The beach is lovely and the sun sets are beautiful. We enjoyed it very much. ##### Jeanette B.
