MI Vacation Retreat- 3 Lake Michigan beaches less than a mile away, with a pool!

This is a townhome in Harbor Village, in St. Joseph's Harbor Shores. Jack Nicklaus' Harbor Shores Golf Course is right across the street. Three Lake Michigan beaches are less than a mile away: Silver, Tiscornia, and Jean Klock. St. Joseph and neighboring Benton Harbor are full of great shopping, restaurants, and breweries. MI Vacation Retreat wants to make Southwest Michigan a place you'll long to come back to.

We have a local property manager to address your on-site needs during your stay.

Harbor Village is a wonderful development with noteworthy destinations within a short walk - Plank's Tavern, a coffee bar, a tapas restaurant (seasonal), The Spa (manicures, pedicures, massages), and marina.

Guests have private access to the entire town house. Shared (neighborhood) space includes the pool, clubhouse, marina, and waterfront.



MI Vacation Retreat sleeps eight in three bedrooms and has three full baths. The master bedroom has a queen memory foam and gel mattress. The master bathroom has a large walk-in shower with a rain shower head and a double vanity. The upstairs loft is a kids' paradise with games and a separate media room. The loft's twin trestle beds pull out to king beds with memory foam mattresses. The main floor boasts an eat-in kitchen with breakfast bar (seating for four) and separate dining space (seating for eight), all open to the living room. The downstairs bedroom is a quiet, comfortable retreat with a queen memory foam and gel mattress. The upstairs and downstairs levels each have a separate full bathroom (upstairs: tub with shower; downstairs: shower). Guests also have a full laundry and two-car garage. Catch the sunset sitting on the front porch or watch golfers play hole #4 across the street. Guests also have plenty of internet bandwidth (gigabit) for school or office Zoom meetings. The media room also doubles as a workspace or remote classroom with desk and chair; extra pens and pencils; and printer and extra paper.

Numerous sidewalks surround the townhome, giving guests walking or biking access to nearby beaches and downtown St. Joseph. Many things, including beaches, are less than a mile from the townhome. If guests drive in and around St. Joseph, there are numerous free-all-day public parking lots.

Guests have access to an abundance of nearby outdoor activities. Directly across the street is Harbor Shores Golf Club, a public, Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. MI Vacation Retreat sits at the intersection of the Paw Paw and St. Joseph Rivers; and Lake Michigan. At The Inn, a few hundred feet away, is Harbor Shores' Marina, with several for-rent boating companies. Scooter Joe's also operates out of The Inn, and guests can rent bikes (surrey bikes, beach cruisers, electric bikes, and tandem bikes), kayaks, and golf carts. Third Coast Paddling is also just around the corner and rents kayaks and stand-up paddle boards. There are miles of paved bike paths and sidewalks for running, biking, and hiking.

Please note that the HOA requires a 10 day notice prior to booking. Bookings within 10 days of the stay start date will not be approved. Guests will be required to sign a short term lease as well as a hold harmless with the HOA.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The memory foam bed provides a full night's sleep and the bathroom offers hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

Wonderful Place

We were so pleased with the condo and all the thought that had gone into making the place feel just like home. It had everything thing we needed for our family to enjoy our stay. The kitchen had nice cookware, dishes, glasses etc. with a nice supply of spices. There were plenty of games to keep the children in our group busy. We spent most of our time at the beach with our extended family but the condo was a great place to come to at the end of the day.We would definitely recommend this wonderful place and we hope to return again to it too!

Great for kids!

Our stay at this poverty, and in St. Joseph was an ideal vacation for our family. We have three young kids all under six. The condo was complete with plenty of games and toys, and even baby gates for the stairs! Our boys loved walking to the pool and we were able to eat in with all the kitchen amenities. The town was also super kid friendly! We loved the beaches, the children’s Museum, and the carousel! Such a wonderful place.

Great stay

Stayed here with my family of 4 and my in-law's family of 4. Paul (property owner) and Tom (local property manager) are great to deal with and very attentive. The unit was brand new and is in excellent condition. They paid attention to detail and included many extras that other properties don't (regular coffee maker as well as Keurig, olive oil/spices, beach towels/toys, etc....I could go on for awhile) The unit was great for our group of 8. Kids all shared the upstairs and the parents each had their own bedroom with plenty of community space. Location is great next to the marina/Inn at Harbor Shores. Fished by the marina, golfed Harbor Shores, nice community pool that was never crowded, Jean Klock Park beach is 1 mile away and doesn't get too packed. We all thoroughly enjoyed the stay and will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

Brilliant for family occasions

A really well equipped, and labeled property. The owners have gone the extra mile to make this an extremely comfortable rental. It’s perfectly located. As a previous resident of St Joseph i couldn’t have been happier with our choice.

Great family place close to the Lake/River/Marina

Lots of room and accommodation options for groups. Very well furnished. Kitchen had everything you could want. Access to restaurants, coffee shops, bars, etc. is a little inconvenient but otherwise everything was great!

Relaxing with pool and beaches

Our family, including kids and grandparents had a wonderful relaxing vacation! Our kids ages 6 and 9 loved sleeping in the loft space, playing games, and having their own bathroom. The bedroom on the middle level worked out great for grandma who couldn't repeatedly go up and down stairs. The furniture and finishes on the place are modern, comfortable, and clean! The location is close to everything, and we all loved the pool and beaches.

Clean and lovely family rental

We had a wonderful experience. The home was clean and had so many personal touches like a coffee and tea bar, so many toys for the kids and plenty of beds for our whole family. The clubhouse pool was so close and convenient and it was also nice being so close to the harbor inn for dinners. We would highly recommend this rental.

Perfect Stay!

We were impressed with this rental from the moment we heard from the property manager, Tom, as well as the owner, Paul. Their communication was excellent and they provided us with helpful information prior to our trip even beginning. They are truly invested in making this place a home away from home. This place was perfect for our family of 5 - with 3 kids ages 7, 5 and 2. All of the little details in this home make it stand out...from the coffee brew station, all the labels around the home/kitchen to make it easy to find things, kid dream loft with toys/games, beach accessories/toys, the list goes on. The pool was a great addition to our stay. It provided a nice balance between beach days and pool days. The location is perfect! We did walk to a few places but everything was less than a 5 minute drive away. We hope to be back in the future! Thank you again MI Vacation Retreat! :)

Harbor Village

We were overjoyed with our townhouse in Harbor Village. The location and property itself were amazing. Tom was a great property manager to deal with as well. The thing that made our stay feel most like home was all of the extra items in the house that were there for us to use and enjoy. Some examples are: beach umbrella, beach games, washer & dryer, family games and puzzles. We couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect. Thank you so much!
