We really enjoyed the porch and firepit for relaxing after the beach. The hosts were so kind and thoughtful and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable.

We loved that it was away from everything but still close enough to not have to drive far. Our kids absolutely loved the firepit and the hot tub. The owners were incredible with communication. We had some issues with the door lock a few times and they came over to fix it ASAP. I would recommend maybe bringing some extra towels if you have a larger group or just be prepared to wash them daily (we didn't mind). This was our first time to Michigan, and we loved Jean Klock Park and Tiscornia Park and both were within minutes of this home. We also loved making the short drive to South Haven. We will definitely be making a trip back some day! ##### Haley L.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Monroe House! Perfect location between St. Joe and South Haven. We were able to visit three different beaches in the 5 days we were there. We have 4 children (15, 4, 3, and 7 weeks) and there was plenty to keep them all happy and occupied. The house was VERY clean and accommodated our group of 5 adults and 4 kids wonderfully! House was fully stocked with everything we needed. The deck on the main level was the perfect extension of living space and we spent a lot of time there. We 100% enjoyed our time and would definitely stay again! Communication with the host was great and they were very eager to make sure everything was to our liking. Don't miss out on this house if you are headed to the St. Joseph/South Haven area! ##### Brigid T. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber R. 21 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet Rest and Relaxation The Monroe House was just what our family needed as an end of summer retreat. The home had plenty of space for our three kiddos to roam about while also feeling close and cozy for games and movie night in. It's no further than 15 mins to get anywhere you could need for accustomed amenities (groceries, gas, or chain restaurants), and is also minutes from beaches, parks and local restaurants. We enjoyed Silver Beach and walking around St Joe as well as hiking down to the lake closer to the air bnb at Hagar Park (there are a lot of stairs, but we found it completely manageable even with a 1yo, 4yo, & preteen). On the last evening we went to Jean Klock park and took family photos. It was absolutely stunning at sunset! Monroe House is clean, well stocked for utilizing the kitchen, and the backyard & hot tub were favorites! 10/10 recommend this stay for a slow and relaxed environment allowing you to enjoy a homey get away without being too far off the beaten path. ##### Amber R.

Only a short drive to the beach, shopping, restaurants. Catie had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We enjoyed the hot tub, game room, and fire pit. Very clean and modern home, easy check-in and out. We will come again! ##### Anita A.

Everything we needed: comfy beds and plenty of room for our group of 10! We started the week with my girlfriend and 3 adult daughters, then husbands joined us and 2 grands! All had a wonderful time at the “blue house”, the beach, dinners, shopping, antiquing, and just being together! Thank you! ##### Kimberly Y.

Close to St Joseph and South Haven. We truly enjoyed our time at the home and plan to book again next year. A little off the beaten path, which was exactly what we were looking for. Thank you for a great stay!!! ##### Todd S.

The home was very beautiful, seemed almost new, with full amenities and the furnishings / decor were well thought out, very comfortable and ‘first class’ in every sense.The home was situated in a rural environment at the end of a country lane nestled in beautiful nature wooded setting complete with a lit fire pit area.The property is centrally located between Benton Harbor and South Haven just minutes away from Lake Michigan ‘pet friendly’ beaches.Our vacation stay was ‘5 Star’ in every way. ##### Larry M.

Our family of 8 stayed 4 nights. On night 2 the AC went out, but thankfully our host was very responsive to get someone out to fix it the next day, and compensated us for the inconvenience! We especially enjoyed the hot tub, foosball table and the yard made for a couple epic games of croquet! The location is so great, close to two beautiful beaches-catching a sunset is must-do. 20 minutes to South Haven for great shopping and restaurants. All bedrooms are upstairs, and the room with the queen bed is pretty small, but overall this is an awesome place to stay with exceptional hosts-would highly recommend! ##### Patrick P.
