About this property

Monroe House - 2 Minute Drive to Lake Michigan ● Pet Friendly ● Beach Access

  • Welcome to Monroe House, a brand new, pet-friendly home just a 2-minute drive to Lake Michigan’s beaches!

    Nestled in a peaceful wooded setting, this stylish, family-friendly retreat is perfect for a beach vacation, cozy weekend, or getaway with friends.

    The home features 3 bedrooms, including a king suite with a daybed + trundle, a queen + bunks room, and a third queen; plenty of space for everyone. Designed by a professional interior designer, every detail has been thoughtfully curated for comfort and style.

    Step outside to find three private decks, a hot tub under the stars, a fire pit for s’mores and stories, and a yard space set up for games. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee on the private upstairs deck or winding down after a day at the beach, Monroe House is made for making memories.

    Forgot something? No worries! Dollar General is within walking distance for any last-minute essentials (like that toothbrush you swore you packed).

    You’re just half a mile from Hagar Shore Beach and Roadside Park Beach, two gorgeous spots for swimming, sunset walks, or beach picnics. DiMaggio’s Pizza is nearby- grab a pizza and take it to the lake for a picnic with a view! Looking to explore more? You’re just 10 miles from St. Joseph and 12 miles from South Haven, two charming lakeside towns full of dining, ice cream, shopping, and attractions. Golf lovers will also appreciate several championship courses just a short drive away.

    Just bring your beach towel and your favorite people; Monroe House will take care of the rest!

Great property for relaxing and the grandchildren liked the game room. Catie communicated quickly to our questions and is a wonderful host. Best property experience we’ve ever had in Michigan - close to beaches and St. Joseph and Holland.

We loved this place! It was so cute and had everything we needed. My kids thought the game room was a nice touch. They also liked the hot tub. We were a short drive from the beach. It’s a bit off the beaten path for shopping but we also thought it was a great deal compared with other listings. Nice, clean interior and comfortable sleeping.

This is our second visit at Monroe House, because we loved it so much last summer. We loved it just as much this year! Everything is perfect, no concerns at all. Plus the beaches are so close, house is on a dead end, close to neighboring cities for food and activities. Owners are great. We will be back!

Great woodsy retreat near Lake Michigan

Couldn’t stay at a nicer, cleaner or more comfortable place. We cannot say enough good things about the accommodation or or the hosts. They even went out and got a swifter for my husband.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We had a truly relaxing and memorable stay here in Coloma. The house was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed—and more. We especially loved the upstairs deck, liked the peaceful backyard with amazing fire pit & the proximity to the beaches.This area is such a hidden gem—between the nearby beaches, wineries, and small-town charm, we had the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

We enjoyed Labor Day weekend at the Monroe house and it was perfect for our family trip!! The place was super clean, easily fit our 9 person party. The decks, hot tub and fire pit were highlights. The host was super responsive and thought of everything. Highly recommend this place.

We had our kids and grand kids withus. This is a great property for activities in both St Joseph and South Haven. A short drive to both but far enough away from the traffic and crowds. The house was very clean and it fit our needs perfectly

Amazing stay

Great house near several lovely beaches. We had a 5yr old, a 1yr old and 2 in their 70’s and had no problem with accessing the nearby beaches. All within a short drive and parking wasn’t an issue even on the 4th of July weekend. We really enjoyed the porch and firepit for relaxing after the beach. The hosts were so kind and thoughtful and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Would not hesitate to come back!

Perfect Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Monroe! We loved that it was away from everything but still close enough to not have to drive far. Our kids absolutely loved the firepit and the hot tub. The owners were incredible with communication. We had some issues with the door lock a few times and they came over to fix it ASAP. I would recommend maybe bringing some extra towels if you have a larger group or just be prepared to wash them daily (we didn't mind). This was our first time to Michigan, and we loved Jean Klock Park and Tiscornia Park and both were within minutes of this home. We also loved making the short drive to South Haven. We will definitely be making a trip back some day!

EXCELLENT LOCATION!

We absolutely loved our stay at The Monroe House! Perfect location between St. Joe and South Haven. We were able to visit three different beaches in the 5 days we were there. We have 4 children (15, 4, 3, and 7 weeks) and there was plenty to keep them all happy and occupied. The house was VERY clean and accommodated our group of 5 adults and 4 kids wonderfully! House was fully stocked with everything we needed. The deck on the main level was the perfect extension of living space and we spent a lot of time there. We 100% enjoyed our time and would definitely stay again! Communication with the host was great and they were very eager to make sure everything was to our liking. Don't miss out on this house if you are headed to the St. Joseph/South Haven area!

Sweet Rest and Relaxation

The Monroe House was just what our family needed as an end of summer retreat. The home had plenty of space for our three kiddos to roam about while also feeling close and cozy for games and movie night in. It's no further than 15 mins to get anywhere you could need for accustomed amenities (groceries, gas, or chain restaurants), and is also minutes from beaches, parks and local restaurants. We enjoyed Silver Beach and walking around St Joe as well as hiking down to the lake closer to the air bnb at Hagar Park (there are a lot of stairs, but we found it completely manageable even with a 1yo, 4yo, & preteen). On the last evening we went to Jean Klock park and took family photos. It was absolutely stunning at sunset! Monroe House is clean, well stocked for utilizing the kitchen, and the backyard & hot tub were favorites! 10/10 recommend this stay for a slow and relaxed environment allowing you to enjoy a homey get away without being too far off the beaten path.

We had a great time and the place was perfect for our girls trip! The house was clean and well-stocked with paper products and kitchen supplies. The hot tub was a hit! Water pressure and AC were a nice bonus, which isn't always the case in this area. Note that the beach access close to the house (within 1 mile) is a loooong staircase or large dunes. Flatter beach access is about 15 minutes away. But that worked for us. Overall, a great experience and the communications from the owners were quick and helpful! Would highly recommend!
