Luxury Waterfront Condo
Steep hill to walk a few blocks into town but once there, lovely options for food and such. I did bike around and it was really great, and the place was easy to find again. Secure garage parking was great for both car and bikes on our bike rack. Very quiet at night, with tree frog and other night sounds from nature while sitting on the balcony. Many bird tweets in the morning could be heard sitting on the balcony, as well.

Silver Beach Inn: The Saucer
The location of the Cup and Saucer is fantastic. It’s close to the beach and an easy, safe walk to food and shopping. Don’t hesitate to book.

3 Bedroom Apartment Available in South Bend.
Tom's place was a great getaway from staying in a hotel. The area is very charming and has a great view of the river from the living room. We enjoyed walking along the river in the evenings. Tom was very responsive when i had questions.

Beautiful top floor condo- river view- near beach
Beautiful place with nice balcony and comfortable furnishings. The bed was so comfortable. Easy to walk into town, and nice to have a restaurant right next door.

Clover Haven | High Rise | Down Town South Bend ND
We actually didn’t get to stay due to a family emergency, but the host was very understanding and supportive. I would recommend staying there even without seeing the place lol The instructions to get into the space were great and I can tell there would have been zero issues.

Afterglow Lodge
My two girlfriends and I stayed here for two nights and it has the most beautiful view of Lake Michigan! We arrived later in the evening and were so thankful that our host left us with restaurant menus and recommendations, we loved the pizza. Place was clean and very well stocked with linens and even coffee and some water in the fridge. The beach is a steep staircase away (it was a bit rough, and my legs hurt, but it’s worth the trek). Also thank you sooo much for letting us use your beach chairs! We stayed on the beach from sunrise to sunset. It was magical and the views are to die for! Our only complaint would be the lack of communication that the host would be staying on site during the same weekend as us. The listing brags about a private beach and yet at one point the hosts wife appeared 15-20 feet sitting directly behind us reading a book. We felt like teenagers being watched by our mother. We decided to take a walk, and when we came back she was gone, but it was weird.

French château -literally 150 steps from BEACH
It was an absolute BEAUTY of a stay. My husband and I literally booked it last minute. (1 hours before leaving) and the host immediately responded and was so friendly and kind. It’s about a two minute walk from the beach. Very quiet, the house has a lot to culture. I felt right at home, truly. Thank you Matthew !!

Lake Landing
Host was great. good communication, and very helpful and accommodating

Lake House in Cassopolis
Excellent hosts, wanted for nothing. Great location!

18 acres | Arcades | Heated Pool | Hot Tub | Pond
Our family had a great time! The house was perfect for our memorial weekend getaway. The place is in a great location, it is surrounded by woods making it very peaceful and private. The large kitchen, dining room and living room were great for our large group. We loved all of the amenities both inside and out. The host made the place easy to find with very clear instructions.

Lakefront cottage on Koontz Lake
My wife, oldest son, and I were looking for a quick getaway that wasn’t too far of a drive from Chicagoland. My wife came across Deborah’s listing and immediately knew it would be a nice location where the three of us could stay and my son could enjoy fishing. The cottage was located steps from the lake and my son spent hours fishing from the dock. The cottage was very clean and was the perfect size for the three of us. I think the only downside was that there weren’t many dining options nearby. We ended up eating one breakfast and one lunch in Walkerton and had dinner in Plymouth. The kitchen at the cottage did have enough supplies to enable us to cook two perch that my son caught earlier in the day, however.

Updated-Private Beach-Lake Views-Hot Tub-Fire Pit
Beautiful views right on the coast of Lake Michigan. The place feels very cared for and has lots of great nooks to retreat to and just relax. We absolutely loved our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Fair warning there are a lot of steps (my kids counted 169 to be exact) to get down to the beach but that didn’t deter us from going and the beach felt very private - we were literally the only ones there. It did limit our ability to send the kids without us for the younger ones which was fine but something to note if you were hoping to just watch them from the porch. We ate out pretty much the whole trip - highly recommend the Copper Pot and the cute market next door to it (pick out a charcuterie board from the cheese lady!). Overall a lovely trip! Thanks for having us!

Picture Perfect Lake House Steps from the Beach
I would recommend The Grand Tuna to anybody looking for a quick trip to Michigan City. It was right around the corner from a great spot on the beach and close to local restaurants and the Blue Chip. Coco also had tons of beach chairs and other fun activities available to use. Finally, for larger groups, having so many beds and rooms to choose from was incredible. Would definitely stay here again!

Heart of Indiana Dunes National Park • Hot Tub
Wow! What an amazing place to stay. The house is lovely and the setting is beautiful. You're literally surrounded by nature and all it's glory. The home is loaded with so many things to do, but we spent most of our time just looking out the big windows at all the animals that came to visit. Our hosts were most gracious. They are very responsive and do their best to take care of your needs as soon as possible. I highly recommend anyone looking for a place to stay near the Indiana Dunes to choose this location. You won't regret it. Thank you very much Elena and Ben for all your hospitality.

The Villa Goshen (Exclusive Use/All Guest Spaces)
We cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. For starters, it is gorgeous. Each room is beautifully decorated and the beds are perfect! One night wasn’t enough. We will book again. Don’t pass this up. Best stay so far!

Riverhaven!🛶🔥🐟Glamorous A-Frame On St Joe River!🌊🌅

Waterfront condo rentals

St Joseph Condo < 1 Mi to Beach & Downtown!
Clean and roomy condo. Really enjoyed the balcony and watching the boats. Great location. Half mile to many shops and restaurants.

Bright & Spacious Condo (3BR/2BA) w/ Marina Views!
We have stayed in these condominiums in this building a number of times, Alexa and Carlos’ unit is our favorite.

Amazing Beach Condo with pool and great sunsets!
Let me begin by saying we can’t wait to stay again. The location was absolutely amazing, particularly if you, like us, adore sunsets. We enjoyed the walk to the beach which is on the property and found the sunsets breathtaking. The beach is beautiful and allowed us to walk three miles. The unit was very clean and had what we needed. We were able to cook in two nights and enjoy a Saugutuck restaurant one evening. Patricia was very communicative and was prompt in responses to questions. We simply could not have enjoyed a better stay. We look forward to coming back.

Marina Condo near Lake Michigan
Met our needs very well. There was a little restaurant on the premesis.

Luxury Waterfront 2 Bedroom Condo by Lake Michigan
Beautiful place. Well appointed and clean. The beds were a little to firm for me, but they had soft sheets. Great location for the national park and state park. We would stay again if we are in the area!

Live the marina life in New Buffalo!
We stayed here for my sisters bachelorette weekend, it was perfect! Everything is within walking distance or a short drive away! Would definitely come again.

Elegant Condo on Water Near Silver and Lion Beachs
We would definitely stay here again. Abel’s place was super comfy, close to everything, and very clean. Abel was very responsive and helpful. If you’re looking for beach floats and like items, there is a Dollar General nearby that was cheap and had lots to choose from.

Lovely 3 Bedroom Condo in DWTN & near the Beach
Very clean. Great location -- easy walk into downtown St. Joseph and even to the lakefront, plus a restaurant/bar right next door. Good and easy process.
