Coastal Living, Hot Tub, Firepit & Lakeside Deck — Guest Reviews

Coastal Cottage was the perfect spot for our family weekend get away! The house is very easy to get to, clean, full of natural sunlight, and located in a beautiful private/quiet neighborhood with a great view! We will definitely consider returning.

Miss Joanne Fisher The lake house was absolutely perfect for our family stay ! We brought out two dogs who loved the outdoor space while we enjoyed the hot tub and the lake views! The house was beautifully decorated and fully equipped white EVERYTHING you could want ! Fluffy towels , soft bedding and even a welcome pack of wine and goodies We don't want to leave ! It was do special

Great Location, Well maintained We used the hot tub and fire pit and enjoyed both. The house is very comfortable and bedroom configuration fit our family well. The home was clean and convenient to use, with a great kitchen.

A Family Affair We come from a large family and our siblings from 5 different Stares traveled to St Joseph for a funeral of a beloved family member. The summer Coastal Cottage was a warm, comfortable and pleasantly furnished venue that settled the nerves and soothed the soul. Indeed, the Swiss would describe the atmosphere and ambience as “gemutlich” (cheerful, warm, and cozy). The proprietors were extreme accommodating to our needs, and were warm and thoughtful hosts. I would highly recommend this venue for any.family gathering . The views of the lake and sunsets are stunning.

Picture Perfect! A truly beautiful quality comfortable home well appointed and located in a fantastic setting deep into the woods on a private lane with an amazing lake view for perfect sunsets. We had 9 people with dogs for this week long family retreat and we loved every minute. The host was super easy to communicate with and we especially enjoyed the little touches like the fire pit, hot tub, gas grill, expansive front porch with comfortable tables and couches, and swings at the lake. 4 nice full beds in the loft with a full bathroom, 2 bedrooms each with queens on the main floor sharing a full bathroom and a bedroom with king in the basement with a full bath. Kitchen had nice appliances and was well stocked with utensils. Washer/dryer were upscale as well. Drive to best beaches just 15 mins. There is construction at the home next door. We are already planning to return next summer and can't wait!

House was great. Communication was great. Only issue is the road full of potholes. Beautiful House. Exactly what we needed for some time with family.

Great Getaway with the Fam This was a winter getaway gift for my family, and it was better than expected. The listing is exactly as advertised. This is an excellent beach cottage and we had so much fun staying here. It was especially fun playing hide'n'seek in the dark with everyone. So many laughs! I'd also like to give props to the property manager for being super attentive to our inquiries. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking to getaway for a good time.

Family vacation with 3 dogs We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful home and surrounding property. The view was breath-taking and we loved sitting on the deck. The lower deck was so impressive and gorgeous. We made many family memories here. Overall, it was an exceptional place to stay. Thank you.

Spectacular Lake Michigan views, superb property, helpful hosts! All conditions and amenities were in place for a spectacular getaway for our large family. From the spacious house, to the tranquility of Lake Michigan, and the nearby lighthouse beaches all within 30 minutes drive, we had a wonderful time! Highly recommend this property!

St. Joe, MI beach house My family and I enjoyed amazing views and had plenty of space to relax during our first trip to Michigan. We were an easy drive to downtown St. Joe and Silver Beach but nestled back off the main road with all the privacy we wanted. Four adults and three children enjoyed the lakefront sun deck, large gas grill with outdoor dining area and fire-pit. We flew kites, roasted marshmallows had several meals on the wraparound porch. Highly responsive and very professional host made this a home away from home. An excellent trip and many fun memories at this coastal property! Highly recommended!

Family Time Our family enjoyed our weekend at Coastal Cottage. The property is sparking clean, is beautifully furnished, and has plush bedding and towels. Best of all , the view is spectacular from the deck and living room. Communication was quick and professional, and the check in and out process was clear and simple.

Vacation Beautiful property with plenty of room for a group our size

Excellent house! My friends and I had a great time at this coastal cottage. The house was so beautiful and clean. The property manager was extremely responsive, as well! We truly enjoyed our stay.

Winter getaway We had a fantastic trip with a group of friends! The house was gorgeous and had everything that we needed.

Beautiful Home, Close to Everything This house is fantastic! It's big, well-appointed, and really cozy. The above-shore deck provides amazing water views, and the sunsets are brilliant. Everything was as described, or better. We also really appreciated being deep in the woods, yet so close to Warren Dunes, wineries, breweries, and all other services. The dog-friendly policy was really appreciated!

Long Weekend Getaway We spent a beautiful long weekend at this rental. There are not many rentals that allow pets so it was a sweet surprise that this one did. The dogs loved running up and down the front yard and taking long walks. I highly recommend this rental.

Perfect in every way This was a business trip, but I can’t wait to come back for a personal trip. The house was simply amazing only beaten by the incredible sunset views- it was extremely peaceful. Every amenity you could want was available! My communication with the property manager over a few minor issues was prompt and very helpful. I can’t say enough about this little oasis. I wish I lived here!!

Perfect Weekend Getaway We celebrated my brothers birthday here and it was the perfect lake house! It was a short 1.5 hour car ride from Chicago and was so relaxing hearing the sounds of the waves & the seeing views of the lake. The place was very clean and had more than enough towels / blankets/ etc. for our group of 10! We had a storm pass through that impacted our Wi-fi and the property managers handled it with care and communicated efficiently.

Great place! Amazing property, everything went well, great location. I would suggest maybe a picture of the actual rocky shoreline, just so people know what to expect. Still great for swimming and paddle boarding if you have the legs to get in and out!

Lovely, perfectly designed, and well stocked. This home has gorgeous views of Lake Michigan. The house itself has several sitting areas which is perfect for several couples or families to spread out. No expense was spared on linens, towels, or any of the furnishings. There are beautiful views from every room. A great time was had by all!

Clean house, great location, easy to work with, amazing views…exceptional stay!

Beautiful view and property.

Beautiful home however could have been cleaner, fridge/freezer didn't work properly, and was not originally stocked with towels. Owners did their best to address all issues timely.

Lovely property view Very clean, good communication from the owner. Noise from I 94 is somewhat noticeable but the beautiful scenery makes up for it.

Fantastic Stay on Lake Michigan Thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend here in early November. The cottage is spacious and clean with tremendous views of Lake Michigan. Don’t miss the sunsets- they are spectacular! Fun sitting around the large gas fireplace too. Great working with the staff at Juniper Holiday and Home- the cookies and wine were a nice touch and much appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.

Lake living This property is managed by a great company. They were extremely friendly and responsive. The house is well equipped, comfortable and clean. The views are beautiful, especially from the deck by the water. It’s about a 20 minute drive into town but if that doesn’t bother you, this property is great!

Great Place on the lake 7 adults stayed for 3 nights. Wonderful place! I have already recommended it to friends in St. Joe who need an extra place for guests. Only thing is that there is no beach access and finding it was very tricky.

I will be getting back on here and leave an in depth review if the owners of this do not contact us about the matter that took place during our stay here….. BEWARE. Do not leave anything of value when you leave this place or take anything into it that you might not want to be stolen during your stay.. we still can not believe what happen to us here.

Loved every aspect of our stay! Attention to the details in this home are exceptional. The views of Lake Michigan sunsets, location, furnishings, and little details like quality towels, quality bed linens, huge laundry room & local pancake mix & syrup made our stay next level. My college age kids agreed the location and yard, and fire pit were favorite parts of our visit. IT’s everything the photos highlight and more. Selfishly, I hesitated to share how great it all was as I don’t want it to be full next time we visit.

North for spring break! Absolutely stunning view and a wonderful home. So many additional amenities enabled an easy trip and minimal stress! Hope to visit again!

Gorgeous lake views We greatly enjoyed the unbeatable lake views, the lovely central fireplace hearth and quiet location. A couple of small issues were promptly addressed and fixed, which we really appreciated!

Stunning Lake Michigan Views We enjoyed this beautiful home so much! Plenty of room to spread out and very cozy for together time. The house was very clean and well stocked. There’s no road noise, only a couple of neighbors and that left us to focus on the beauty of our surroundings. There were a few minor things at the beginning of our stay, but the management team handled it quickly and were so pleasant to work with! I would stay here again and again!

Great Weekend Getaway This is our second time staying at this house, and we just love it! Very relaxing and a beautiful setting!

Super great house! Very beautiful home. Quaint and perfectly staged. Beds and linens were all very comfortable. Absolute beautiful view!

Stevensville home Excellent!
