Perfect Spot for Family Vacation

Property is right next to the river and well cared for. The house is new with all the right touches to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Kitchen and dining room are perfect for big family meals. We had 8 adults and 2 babies for a week. Minutes from Lake Michigan beaches and golf courses. The owner, Joel, and caretaker, Frank, are thoughtful, communicative, and committed to making your stay as pleasant as possible. We had a wonderful stay and can’t recommend it enough!

St Joe Vacation Home

The property was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. The homeowners association rules were annoying since we could not park in the driveway or leave the garage door open without getting complaints.

Perfect Family Space

Our family has been visiting this area every summer for 20 years. As our family has grown and changed we needed space that would work for my parents in their late 80’s and my kids in their 20’s and people in between. Joel’s place was perfect. My elderly parents who both walk with canes had a lower level bedroom and bath with a walk in shower and grab bars by the toilet so they felt safe. The home is large enough that if you want to get away from the group there are places to do that but when everyone wants to gather there’s plenty of space for that too! We took advantage of the porch and fire pit overlooking the river, the grill many nights and the kayaks! This home was a hit with the entire family. Fred was easy to work with and able to show us around when we got there. The kitchen is the most wonderfully stocked kitchen I have seen with plenty of dishes and kitchen things. The beds were comfortable and the location can’t be beat. We went to four different beaches while there, none farther than 10 minutes. We also rented a boat for a day on the river from a place about 3 min away. This home is a winner!!!!

Awesome vacation rental

Our stay at this waterfront cottage was awesome! The house was well stocked with dishes, silverware, pots and pans and small kitchen appliances. The location was perfect, right on the Paw Paw River. There were kayaks and a paddle board which our kids and grandkids enjoyed using. Since we are avid walkers, we loved all the sidewalks in the neighborhood. The house was very clean and so well laid out. That all ten of us could eat together was a great plus. No complaints from us - this house was perfect. Be sure to take the pedestrian bridge to visit Clifford’s Coffee Canal. It quickly became a favorite with us.

Perfect spot on the river

If you’re looking to vacation in SW Michigan, look no further. This home is beautiful, incredibly well equipped, and the hosts couldn’t have been nicer. You really only need to pack your clothes because the house has EVERYTHING you need for a lake trip — beach towels, beach toys and chairs, kayaks, and a stocked kitchen and bathrooms. It’s by far the most visitor-friendly rental home I’ve ever stayed in. The location is also wonderful. The house sits right on the river, and the development has a pool a few houses down and other great features. Plus, you’re a very quick drive to the beach and downtown St. Joe. A few added perks: gas fireplaces inside and on the porch, a grill, TVs in every bedroom, and awesome water pressure in the showers after a beach day!

Amazing house on the river

We loved this house - it was like they thought of everything you might need. I have stayed in many houses that said they have towels and things for the beach but this house was completely stocked up. They had at least 8 huge beach towels, multiple (nice) beach chairs, umbrellas, blankets etc. the kitchen was FULLY stocked. The TVs worked great and anytime we had a question we got an answer right away. The pool was a lot of fun for the kids. The house is technically w/in walking distance of downtown (we did it one night). Do have to walk on the bridge which can have a lot of traffic. Extremely close to Tiscornia and Jean Klock beach which are our two favorite beaches! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Nice place

The house was large enough for our group of ten, ranging in age from 16 months to 69 years old. House was extremely well equipped with everything from beach towels to a slow cooker and waffle iron for the kitchen. Only downside for our group was it was a long walk to downtown St. Joe and Silver Beach. It was a very short drive to downtown, Silver Beach, golf courses and other beaches. Walking distance to Clifford’s coffee shop which was fantastic. Loved sitting on the front porch with the Paw Paw River only steps away.

About the host

Hosted by Joel Kruggel

Host profile image
Having grown up in St. Joseph, my career took our family from Santa Barbara to Boston. We always dreamed of retiring to St. Joseph and came back home in 2018. After creating an Inn on the Maine coast, we were eager to host people at a high quality home in St. Joseph. When Water's Edge Cottage became available, we jumped at the chance to own and operate an exceptional, waterfront property in one of St. Joe's best locales.

Why they chose this property

Waters Edge Cottage is part of Harbor Village, which is nestled along the Paw Paw River and the St. Joseph Harbor. With a major hotel, world-class marina, and proximity to the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at Harbor Shores; this is the perfect setting for a vacation home in St. Joe. The home itself commands outstanding views of the Paw Paw and St. Joe rivers. It is spacious with a two story great room, four bedrooms, sunroom, gourmet kitchen, and patio.

What makes this property unique

-proximity to area beaches: 3 minutes by car
-easy walk to downtown St. Joseph
-fish or kayak right off our front yard
-wonderful community pool and clubhouse just behind our home
-full service hotel in Harbor Village with restaurant, spa, outdoor dining
-boat rentals within 3 minutes at Bluewater Boat Rentals at Anchors Way Marina
featuring jet skis, speedboats, pontoon boats and cabin cruisers
-Harbor Village is a new, planned community with high end single family homes and condominiums on the waterfront. On site marina, Freedom Boat Club, restaurant, and a
community pool complex are all part of Harbor Village.
