Blu Shutter Beach House - Best location for a Vacation!

Spectacular Fall 2025 rates!! The Blu Shutter Beach House added a huge, beautiful deck across the entire front of the house, along with a charming new L shaped patio couch. This is going to be the place to make your happy memories with friends and family. New range with air fryer, microwave and refrigerator. The Location of this property is phenomenal. St. Joseph, located 8 miles down the actual street the house sits on. The shops, restaurants, beaches and Harbor Shores Signature golf course along with so much more St Joe has to offer. Ten minutes up the street is beautiful South Haven. If you continue 30 minutes north, Holland, with its world renown Tulip festival in May. Located right in the middle of several wineries, breweries and fruit farms. If lady luck is with you, take a short 12 mile ride to nearby Four Winds Casino in Hartford . The thrill seekers will love Michigan's Adventure, Michigan's largest amusement and outdoor water park. The house has 3 bedrooms and our bonus room sleeping 10 comfortably. Two bathrooms with an open floor plan and a large eat in kitchen. The down stairs bathroom has a walk in shower, for easy access. The upstairs with a whirlpool tub for relaxing after a busy day of shopping and having fun at the beach. Game room with family fun board games along with some adult fun ones too. Great place to spend your vacation.

Beautiful Fall Stay

We had a wonderful weekend here! Great for families with kids, just a short walk across the street to a park with a playground and the beach! There are a lot of fun fall things in this area too. Took a 15 min drive to Jollay Orchards for apple picking and fall activities too. Would highly recommend!

Fun Time With Friends

What a cute little getaway! Looks like a cute little farm lakehouse with quite a bit of yard for yard games. Tons of beds for sleeping in, little notes for how to use things, and Dianna the host is super sweet!

Great beach vacation

This property was conveniently located across the street from a nice beach that we enjoyed almost every day. It is close to Coloma which offered a nice movie theater and a nice restaurant. It is also close to wineries and breweries in the area. It was perfect for our stay with our Son and his family.

Spectacular stay

We had the luxury of being able to stay at this house for 3 days and each day was amazing. With a quick walk across the street is a beach, board games for the late nights, and a kitchen fully loaded with almost everything you need for cooking. Highly recommend to anyone because of the location and price.

Good for a quick trip

Close to the park, kid friendly! The traffic on M 63 was loud. We used ourown water due to the Sulphur smell. The hpuse was roomy and alot of time and energy put in converting it. Home owner was gracious and attentive. . .

Wonderful Family Getaway

This property is very cozy and clean. We had everything we needed and were close to the hustle and bustle of silver beach and able to walk across the street to the park and watch the sunset over the lake. Absolutely beautiful setting. Diana was wonderful to work with! We will def be back!

Clean and comfortable in a great location!

We really enjoyed staying at this property and being able to walk across the street to the beach! This house is very clean and comfortable and perfect for a family with kids…ours enjoyed the DVD player in the bedroom. The whirlpool tub, water cooler, beach chairs, towels and toys were nice extras. Kitchen is well stocked. The owner is prompt in responding to messages and was very accommodating when we had to make a change to our reservation. A great place to stay!

Perfect spot to relax!

We had a great time during our stay! Dianna was very responsive and helpful both ahead of time and during, and was great about communicating things we’d need (or want) to know ahead of time also! Everything was clean and the house was spacious. The house has great bones so sound didn’t carry into the bedrooms much at all, so we all got great rest! Our favorite feature was certainly the beach being merely paces across the street, right outside of our front door. It was a dreamy beach with the perfect proximity. Thanks again, Dianna! If ever we’re around again we will certainly stay with you. Thank you!

Girls Weekend

We stayed at this lovely house for a girls weekend trip. We were only a quick trip away from wineries and the beach was across the street. The house was beautiful and clean, with plenty of blankets and towels. The owner was available via text if any issues were to arise. We loved our stay and are hopeful to stay again in the future!

Beach wedding weekend

The house was perfect for our needs. There were 9 of us sharing the house for a long weekend and it was had plenty of casual seating for us. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment and condiments. Bring dishwasher packs though. The bathrooms are really nice, and the beds were comfy. There were a variety of games to play, and the offer to let us use the beach toys was very nice. There was plenty of wood for the fire pit, and the kindling and tinder were already sorted. Dianna responded very quickly to questions, and very kindly offered to send a souvenir that we had missed packing.

House with blue shutters

We enjoyed our stay in the house very much! It was clean, and stocked with things you would not have imagined -- like toys for playing in the sand and chairs, board games -- little touches that just made our stay that much more pleasant. The owner Dianna is very nice and it was a real pleasure to stay at her house. Great location, just cross the street from the Hagar Park beach, 10 minutes from St. Joseph. We would definitely rent this house again! We had a wonderful time and would recommend this house to everyone. Thank you for letting us to stay at your house!!! Thank you for a great weekend!

Saint Joseph, MI Fun

The rental property was very quaint, spacious inside/outside, and was near all locations our family explored while in Michigan. The property owner is very responsive, helpful and super enjoyable to work with! The only hiccup which I know the owner has noted they worked on and wish we would have known in advance is the sewer (egg) smell from the water running. This never went away no matter where the water was running - kitchen sink, bathroom sink/shower, dishwasher and wash machine.

Perfect for us

Our family spends a week at Lake Michigan each year. This was our first year staying at the Blue Shutter beach house. We had 6 adults and one child. If you’re looking for a high end rental, this is not for you. If you’re looking for a cozy beach house, this one is great. The house is stocked with all of the kitchenware you need for meals. They provide enough toiletries, paper dilly, etc for a day or two. On site laundry is a plus. Plenty of board games for rainy days. The beach access right across the street at Hagar park is so nice. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch for coffee in the mornings and to escape the bugs in the evening. The owner was very accommodating in a few requests we had and made us feel welcomed. Overall, it was a great place to spend time with family and we would definitely rent again!

Hotel instead

We decided on VRBO because of other visits it was easier. But this stay we got a lashing via text about what not to do before we even got there. The sulphur smell was overwhelming. There were notes everywhere. Just didn't feel comfortable. Plus we had to pay for three nights whether we were there or not. No lake view because of brush.

Blue shutter beach house family getaway

Pros: super clean property, stocked with all kitchen needs, room air conditioners, fans in every area, towels and bed sheets aplenty. Fire pit and gas grill for use of customers, great location across from public Lake Michigan beach, plenty of parking. Cons: property on a noisy road ( air conditioners covered the sound), furniture in living room area and washer/dryer were a bit past their prime, water smelled strongly of sulphur and filtered water dispenser for drinking ran out the second day (bottled water strongly encouraged for future guests). Be careful of uneven concrete in walkway by entrance door. All in all a clean but bit worn property.
