Great cozy place & location

We are locals and recently stayed here as our house was undergoing renovations. The location was great and we took advantage of being so close to downtown. The townhouse was clean, kitchen and bathroom are newly done. It was a cozy spot for our family, with the 2 of us plus our teenage kids. They did have to share a room with a bunk bed but they survived:) The mattresses were very comfortable and we all slept well. The only issue is that we got snow and there is no garage as the cars need to be parked in the back of the house. I would highly recommend staying here. The owner is very gracious and helpful.

Clean Older Home in a Great Location

Perfect location at a perfect price made up for any imperfections in this older home. The mattresses were all really comfy the newly-remodeled kitchen and bathroom, along with the big front porch were the best parts of this rental. Newer appliances, including a dishwasher and washer and dryer made life easier and got us to the beach quickly. As the listing photos show, some of the furnishings are dated and could use a refresh, but it didn’t bother us since we knew ahead of time what to expect. The main attraction is definitely the location. Many times we walked to the restaurants or shops or down the hill to Silver Beach, or just a couple of blocks to the bluff for a stunning sunset over Lake Michigan. The neighborhood of historic homes is a pleasure to get acquainted with and we always felt safe. We would return again!

Walking distance to town.

Great neighborhood with a short two-block walk to town, with Great shops, restaurants & Breakfast shop. If you like pizza just down the road over the hill towards the beach is the Silver Beach Pizza Parlor number one in the area.

Stayed at this property for a month while working at the DC Cook nuclear plant. Very quiet neighborhood and very close to everything in downtown St Joseph. On my one day off a week you could walk to all the favorite spots in downtown. I would recommend this house to anyone.

Everything you need

Torrence's was a great landlord and host. Underrated because you can catch views of lake Michigan sunsets from the front and side porch while grilling. The steep stairs and small bathroom are just some of the old house charms and love grows better in a smaller house, right? Thanks for a great opportunity.

Excellent location!

Great summer spot, only blocks away from the beach this place offers great sunsets and a safe stay. You're walking distance from beautiful downtown Saint Joseph's food and shopping spots as well as Silver Beach and Lyons Park. There are farmers markets and festivals throughout the summer that are walking distance from this house, so it is very convenient for this. Parking in back alley, grill available for use, air conditioning, and this cozy place has a nice front porch for relaxing and chatting after a long day at the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Awesome place. Close to EVERYTHING!

What a great place to stay. Yes, it's walking distance to the beach. But, it's also walking distance to everything else. Downtown St. Joe is just two blocks away. Plenty of choices for all ages. The house itself is roomy and has all you need for an extended stay. The owner is very responsive, helpful and made the stay more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place.
