As great as the property photos look, they don’t do the house justice, especially the amazing sunset views from the rooftop deck where we watched every sunset. The property is secluded but you’re only a short 5-10 minute drive to the beach, shopping, and dining in St. Joe’s. Everyone in our group - our family of five and our friends, who are a family of four - had a wonderful time. Hope to stay here again! ##### Aaron B.

The owner was super easy to talk to and reasonable. No cleanliness issues at all. Although the functionality of the outdoor built-in speakers during grilling or ceiling speakers for films would have added to the experience, it did not impact the overall excellence of our stay.

It was very comfortable. We wish there were more outdoor chairs. We were a group of 9 and there were only 8 chairs. There is also a 3rd floor deck with amazing views but no furniture to sit on to enjoy the view. There was no toilet paper in two of the bathrooms. We were bummed that there was no access to the beach. We went to lay our mom to rest in St. Joseph and overall it was a great stay. ##### Sonya K.

We loved the large living and dining areas and that every couple was able to have their own en-suite. The kids stayed in the lower level and enjoyed the privacy the space offered. We had a little trouble connecting to the TV, and the hosts were very responsive when we contacted them. The views from the patio were divine and we enjoyed the hot tub a few nights as well.

Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Matthew J. 21 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Nice property, but uneasy feeling during our stay This is a very nice house, and we had no problems. However, we were left feeling uneasy during our stay due to inside/outside security cameras, an abundance of rules, and the recent negative reviews regarding damage to the property. It is stated clearly upon check-in that the cameras are off while guests are on the premises, but there is no way to be sure. We spent a lot of time on the back deck, and after a while, we just assumed we were being watched or recorded by the camera that peers down. The check-in/check-out process is clunky as it requires a garage code, an alarm code, and a code to retrieve the house key from a lockbox. After reading a few negative reviews about guests accused of causing damage, we purchased the VRBO insurance policy, just in case. We also felt that the cleaning fee was excessive, considering that the 10 of us spent 2 hours preparing the property for the cleaning crew according to the stated rules. Check-out is at 10 am, so be prepared to spend your morning getting the house ready for the next set of guests. The place is fantastic, and the views are great, but our group spent most of our time slightly stressed out about the cameras and all the rules. ##### Matthew J. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karin G. 6 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A beautiful home and property We stayed the week for an adult family reunion. The layout was very group friendly with appropriate areas for privacy. It was Summer, so we enjoyed the back deck and backyard with the amazing and relaxing views. All rooms facing the back of the home offer breathtaking views of the lake. Every evening's sunset was an event. The rooftop is underutilized, not furnished I'm sure for high wind reasons. We kept a few camp chairs inside the doors for sunset moments. The kitchen is fairly well stocked for most menu preparation. Plan ahead, ask Bernadette about what's available ... she is very helpful. There is a Meijers 15 minutes away for everything not provided or needed. Lower level is very cold. Again summer in a 3 level building can have high variations. Luckily the top floor has a separate Nest control to keep things cool upstairs. The few small issues we had throughout the week were quickly responded to by the owner. We were very pleased with our environment, as family connections and making memories have been challenging during these Covid years. We were very happy with our choice! ##### Karin G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda C. 3 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice lake view house for a group We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was great, and Bernadette was responsive and easy to communicate with. The only reason I didn't give a five star was a couple of things that I'm guessing they can easily remedy: could use a large skillet when cooking for a large group; outdoor furniture for the rooftop deck would be nice(it's a fabulous spot to watch the sunset and relax in the evening, but had to lug up lawn chairs that we brought), and finally some towel hooks or bars in the bathrooms would be nice for towels and bathing suits. Again, minor things that would make it ideal!! We loved Tiscornia Park beach; roughly a 10 min drive and just $7/day parking. Not very crowded, with plenty of space to play catch or fly a kite! We also enjoyed having a backyard to sit out and play yard games while looking at the water. Suggest bringing along lawn chairs if large group; seating for 8 on deck dining table. Great house overall! ##### Linda C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022
