Good to know
Welcome to our Silver Beach Hideaway, your home base for exploring Michigan’s beautiful lakeshore. This spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath single-family home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests and offers plenty of room for relaxing, gathering, and a little friendly competition. The primary bedroom features a king bed, while the two additional bedrooms each include two queen beds, making it ideal for families or small groups traveling together. The living room is a cozy place to unwind with a flatscreen TV and a fireplace available during the winter months. The large fully stocked kitchen includes a breakfast bar and everything you need to cook meals at home—or at least pretend you’re going to before heading out to the patio grill. Bathrooms are conveniently located throughout the home. On the main floor, Bathroom 1 includes a shower/tub combo and bidet toilet, while Bathroom 2 is a half bath with toilet and vanity. Downstairs, the spa-style bathroom offers a relaxing retreat with a two-person jetted tub, oversized rain shower with side jets, bidet toilet, and a large vanity. The basement game room is built for fun, featuring a pool table that converts to a ping pong table, a smart TV, comfy couches, and a dry bar—perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. One of the standout features of the property is the very large covered patio, designed for gathering in any weather. Fully screened when needed, it offers generous seating for family and friends along with a Weber BBQ and Blackstone griddle for outdoor cooking. The patio opens to a beautiful backyard with a fire pit, children’s swing set, and plenty of space to play or relax. Additional amenities include central AC and heat, washer and dryer, and free driveway parking for up to 4 vehicles. Please note that the garage is not included with the rental. Location is hard to beat. The home is just 2 minutes from Rocky Gap Beach and 8 minutes from the popular Silver Beach in St. Joseph. A nearby bike and walking path connects you to surrounding beaches, Benton Harbor, and downtown St. Joseph. The area offers something for everyone—from biking, hiking, boating, kayaking, and golf to exploring local wineries and blueberry farms. Downtown St. Joseph is only 5 minutes away, and South Haven is about 20 minutes away, making this an ideal base for exploring Michigan’s Harbor Country. Whether you're here for beach days, winery tours, or evenings around the fire pit, this home offers the space and comfort to make the most of your stay.

Driving is the most practical option — M‑63, I‑196 and I‑94 provide quick regional access. Local transit exists but is limited: Twin Cities Area Transportation Authority (TCATA) serves Benton Harbor/St. Joseph with scheduled routes, and there are regional shuttle/taxi/rideshare options. Amtrak stops and regional airports are available within a 30–75 minute drive for longer trips.A new bike lane leads from the house directly to St Joseph and the beaches; many attractions (beaches, parks, St. Joseph riverfront) are short drives away.
