Beach Breeze is a recently constructed luxury home directly on Lake Michigan. It is perfectly situated just 5 minutes north of St. Joseph and 20 minutes south of South Haven. With over 170 feet of private sandy beach, it is the perfect spot to get away for your beach vacation. Stunning views of Lake Michigan greet you from the moment you walk up to the front door and step onto the custom white oak floors which are throughout the house. A hot tub is being added this year. Message for updates as to when it will be available for use. I contracted with a spa company and a landscaper and am awaiting the installation.
There are 5 ensuite bedrooms including two primary suites, one of which is on first floor. There is plenty of room for the whole family, and the 5 bedrooms with 5 1/2 baths accommodate up to 14 guests. They consist of three bedrooms with king beds, one bedroom on the first floor with a queen bed, and six twin beds in the custom built-in bunkroom.
Large windows throughout Beach Breeze provide gorgeous views of Lake Michigan. Stairs with a walking path lead to a large sandy PRIVATE not association beach. The home office with glass French doors is perfect for checking in on work while getting away with your family. RH, Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel, Serena & Lily, and West Elm furniture grace the home.
The large custom built kitchen with quartz countertops and ample work surface is a dream in which to prepare those special meals while still enjoying views of the lake from the bank of large windows over the kitchen sink. There is a large RH dining table with ample seating.
Not only do stunning views greet you from within the house, but also there are multiple decks from which to enjoy the lake views and star gazing at night. A large deck accessible from the main living room lines the entire back of the house and is complete with Adirondack chairs. Another deck serves the main bedroom and provides the perfect spot to sip that morning coffee while watching the boats out on Lake Michigan. The east bedroom enjoys its own private deck as well. In addition, a generous screened porch with a vaulted ceiling and a bluestone patio with a fire pit are perfect spots to gather while watching the waves dance along the lake.
The portable pickleball equipment is perfect for a friendly game. The Joola Ping Pong table and air hockey provide lots of entertainment when you are not outdoors enjoying the lake. In addition, the mud room and separate laundry room add plenty of storage for all of your gear.
The large 170' sandy beach with beach sand chairs is the perfect spot to relax with a book or to build sand castles and memories. This beautiful private beach provides a special place to watch the waves dance along the shore and occasional boats floating upon the water.
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me. I am always happy to answer any questions and enjoy serving my guests.
Beach Breeze is the perfect getaway for families and friends. Book now and enjoy wonderful moments with your family!

The house was gorgeous and perfectly suited for our 3 families to gather to celebrate a milestone birthday. The kids loved the bunk room. Perfect getaway.
Had a great time with family of all ages, beautiful place with breathtaking views, if you normally carry a lot of stuff to beach I would pack light, stairs to beach are challenging for some people.
Beautiful home with an amazing private beach. The steps down to the beach are steep, but my 84 year old aunt made it up and down each day without issue. The location feels very private but we were still very close to all the activities we wanted to do. Would highly recommend.
The house is amazing, perfect for our family of 11 (6 adults, 5 children ages 10 and 12). We enjoyed the private beach, even with the long steep climb.
Beautiful, clean, well equipped, fun place to stay for a family vacation!
We had a great time on our family reunion trip to Michihan! The home was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed to enjoy a week's vacation together. We had a 3 kiddos and 7 adults and we all had a relaxing week in this home. The sunsets were definitely a highlight and we enjoyed the porch when it was drizzling, but we still wanted to be outside. Communication before and during our stay was quick and easy, we would definitely stay here again!!
We had an amazing time at this wonderful home. It is thoughtfully designed for family time from the open kitchen to the table that seats 10, to the outdoor fire pit, to the gorgeous sunsets, lovely beach, ping pong and game tables, and ample lawn space, while still providing private rooms and baths for all. And the main suite -- just wow, what a view! The place was clean, beds comfy and the hosts could not have been nicer or more helpful. You will not be disappointed by anything at Beach Breeze!
We stay in the St. Joe's area 3-5 times per year. This is without question my favorite vacation home. The views are incredible, the layout is thoughtful. and the place was spotless when we arrived. The close proximity to Downtown St. Joe's was a huge bonus as well.
I can't say enough good things about this property. It was everything I hoped for and all that the pictures promised. Checkin was flawlessly easy and everything you think you need is already in the house, all the details were laid out very thoughtfully. There was more than enough space for my party of 8 to spread out and have private time but also perfect spaces for us all to come together.
Fabulous house. Well laid out with open floor plan, lots of great living space, and a great big kitchen. LOTS of counter space and great kitchen tools and utensils. Bedrooms were all comfortable, and en suite. whole home is brand new and well designed. A great place to gather for your friends and family. Direct beach access is a hike down to the beach, but really private, and was a nice bonus.
Well built home, thoughtful design and tastefully decorated. We loved our stay. The view was amazing. Be prepared for a workout to get down and back again from the lake. 173 steps down to reach it. It was an adventure every time! We would go again.
Three generations of our family stayed at Beach Breeze for a week in mid-August and had a fabulous time. The place lived up to the pictures and description in the listing. Spectacular views from the kitchen, living area and primary bedroom made us feel like we were at the lake even when we were inside. Bedrooms were spacious enough and having most of them be en suite was a nice bonus. Jim was a great host. He was very responsive when we had questions and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. We would certainly consider staying again!
Wow! What an amazing home. We loved the decor, the property, the views, and the beach. Beds were very comfortable. Great play space for the kids in the basement with ping pong and air hockey. Great nearby restaurants in easy driving distance and lovely golf course paths. No decorative detail was unattended to in this lovely beach home. The private beach was lovely and quiet and we spent many pleasant hours there during our stay. This was the nicest VRBO property we've ever stayed at. Lake Michigan in the summer is truly idyllic.
A group of 14 of us stayed Thursday through Sunday to celebrate upcoming wedding of two of our closest friends. Played camp games on the large back yard and spent the day at the private beach (would not recommend for those who cannot handle many stairs down). Watched the sunset from the balcony - gorgeous each night!
Property is stunning, clean and peaceful. Only missing item was the hot tub listed in amenities but we were so sunburnt after day one we weren’t missing it.
Jim is extremely responsive and everything you need is provided! Highly recommend, I know we will be back!
The Host was delightful and very accommodating. The house is a first-class, well-decorated, and spacious property. We had our family of young adults whose sleep schedule was much different than that of their elders. The open floor plan made it difficult to contain the terrace level joyful noise from the 3rd floor bedroom level. The close proximity to the public beach in St. Joseph mitigated the 175 steps to the private beach of this house. The kitchen is well-equipped for gourmet chefs. The sunset views were spectacular.. This was a good value for a family reunion. Thank you.
Our family of 10 (6 adults and 4 children) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beach Breeze last week, celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. The home is beautifully decorated and in a lovely setting. With five bedrooms, four with ensuite bathrooms, everyone had plenty of space. We also enjoyed the lower level for recreational activities and the screened-in porch for meals and conversation. As others have stated, the only drawback is the steep walkway to the beach (especially for older adults with mobility issues and very young children). However, we discovered a wonderful beach nearby at Jean Klock Park and took advantage of this local resource. Jim and Linda are wonderful hosts and were available whenever we had questions. Thanks for a wonderful week!
Our group of 12 adults ages 26-65 enjoyed our week long stay, an annual August gathering that we hold in different spots along the “coastline of the Mitten” state. The St. Joes area was new to some of us, and we made a great choice of locale and accommodation. The home provided comfortable gathering space for preparing meals, playing cards and watching Premier League opening soccer matches. The patio fire pit was a nightly ritual and the beach a daily delight. The expansive backyard provided a sense of privacy and grandeur, and reminded me more of parts of old time Newport RI or Cape Cod, rather than the typical crowded cottage areas of some resort areas. The beds were supremely comfortable and nights were so quiet allowing the waves to lull one to sleep. None of us had difficulty with the beach steps, which are so thoughtfully designed. Never saw more than 2 or 3 other people on the beach. If you’re looking for a sense of luxury indoors and nature’s beauty outdoors ( and proximity to great golf) this is the place for your group. Jim, the homeowner, is cordial and responsive. You will not be disappointed.
Our family has been renting vacation properties on the Michigan shore for the past 15 years and this property is easily the nicest home we've rented. It's roomy, comfortable, attractive, and well-designed. Kitchen is great with plenty of countertops and storage and a 6-burner range. Plenty of beds for our 8 family members, ample parking for 3 cars. Property owner was a pleasure to work with and very responsive to our every question and request. He apparently monitors the property from his home because when we had a brief power outage he called us to make sure we had everything we needed. The beach is beautiful, clean, wide, sandy, and uncrowded. We didn't even notice any power boat and wave runner noise like we always have at so many other rental properties. The property is almost perfect, but for two drawbacks. First, because the house sits so close to the highway, there is considerable road noise when you're sitting out on the spacious screened-in porch, which is a shame because we would have used that space more more often otherwise. Inside the house, there is no road noise at all. Second, access to the beach is very difficult. There is a stairway down which is 175 steps long, very steep, and in spots a little treacherous. Not an easy descent at all and even more taxing coming up. The access didn't seem to bother the teenagers in our group, but some of the older members of our party -- especially my 91-year-old father-in-law -- simply could not make the trip.
We had many different age groups stay with us over a three week period, ranging from age 18 to 80, and the house accommodated us all beautifully. It is in tip top condition and offers many amenities. The beach is lovely and the sun sets are beautiful. We enjoyed it very much.
