Nestled between the vibrant resort towns of Saint Joseph and South Haven, Michigan, this stunning three-story home features a modern lower-level walk-out unit with a full bath, two bedrooms, and an open kitchen seamlessly connected to the living room. Perched on a bluff overlooking the shores of Lake Michigan, this property boasts both historical charm and breathtaking views.
Built during the Roaring Twenties, the home carries a fascinating connection to the infamous Al Capone. Its elaborate woodwork, sourced from two mansions in Chicago's Gold Coast, was meticulously retrofitted to enhance the home’s unique character. Two fireplaces further elevate the home’s historical appeal.
Upon entering the upper-level unit, you'll be greeted by a spacious main floor featuring a kitchen, dining room, living room, full bath, and a hallway leading to the second floor. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms (one with a large private balcony) and a full bath, all showcasing the same exquisite historical woodwork.
But there’s more—take the spiral staircase to the newly remodeled third-floor suite. This 5th bedroom includes its own bathroom, sitting area, and a private balcony, offering stunning views of the expansive 2.5-acre property and over 500 feet of private Lake Michigan beach. Newly constructed stairs (completed in August 2024) lead directly to the pristine private beach, making this property an extraordinary lakeside property

Great
Great stay, Good place. Communication was prompt but at times felt like I was communicating with AI and it did not properly understand what I was asking/did not answer my questions. This made some of the communications frustrating.

We absolutely loved the place. The backyard was beautiful, the views were beautiful and the house was beautiful. There was a private beach, which was nice to have. The host was also very responsive. It was exactly what we were looking for and I would stay again.

Wonderful get away
Amazing home and beautiful property right on Lake Michigan. We didn't need to bring any of the usual items such as toilet paper, paper towel and trash bags, as they were plenty of each. Kitchens were well equipped with dishes, glasses, pots and pans, silverware and utensils. Only a few minor problems. We could not get the codes to work for check-in, but was resolved with a couple of calls to Vacasa. There was a dirty towel in one of the bathrooms and a dirty pot on the stove in the kitchen. We also had a problem with the 2nd floor bathroom sink, which became stopped up and had to be plunged. Otherwise, the house was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of seating in the main areas. Beds were comfortable. We are looking forward to coming back!
