Description

Enjoy an amazing family or group vacation in this 2005 New Beach House (over 3500 square feet) in quaint St. Joseph, Michigan. We are on the beach with views of the Lake Michigan, the piers and lighthouse from (almost) every room! 4 amazing decks. 3+ bedrooms (sleeps 12 in beds, plus a full-size crib). The Master bedroom is on 3rd floor with queen bed and a private deck overlooking the lake. A second bedroom has a queen bed. The third bedroom is a bunk room for kids with 2 sets of bunks and a pull out couch. The home has four full (tub, shower, commode, sink) high-end bathrooms. A gourmet granite and stainless kitchen with huge island, playroom for the kids, media room (Cable, wireless internet and whole-house sound system), full laundry, outside shower and all linens, bedding, toys, beach equipment you'll ever need for an amazing week at the lake. Walk to town (5 minutes), walk to Silver Beach and Lions Park beach (1 minute) or enjoy the beach outside your back door. We are one minute from the train station which runs to Chicago everyday. Enjoy Michigan. St. Joseph is a very typical small "American" town with many markets, fairs, festivals and events all summer long. For more information about the town and area see: www.sjcity.com. No pets, no smoking.

Neighborhood

The house is right on the beach. Our neighborhood is in a beach community, we live on a very quiet street with single family homes. The street connects two public beaches, but is not highly traveled. The town is simple and sweet; within walking distance to very good restaurants, ice cream shops, coffee shops and galleries. There is always a fair or community event in the town during the summer weeks. It is very quiet and safe. Simple pleasures with family and friends: grilling on the deck, long walks on the beach, watching the boats, playing frisbee, eating snow cones. Please go to www.sjcity.com for more information about the city of St. Joseph.

If you want more adventure you can take the train or drive to Chicago (the station is within walking distance, 3 minutes--you can drive to Chicago in 90 minutes). You are 3 hours from Detroit or Indianapolis. You are also within driving distance to northern Michigan (3-4 hours).

About Us

We are a family of 5. Steve is a banker, Jamie is a lawyer, our kids are 15, 11, and 6. We are very active and love to boat, ski, travel, and play sports. We are very open to new people and new experiences--and we all would love to learn another language!

Destination

This can be a non-simultaneous exchange as this is our vacation home. We would like to exchange during the summer months or especially during the winter holidays. We expecially would love to see parts of Europe, but are very flexible.
