Cozy cottage hidden away in a quiet neighborhood 1.5 blocks from Lake Michigan, featuring a screened back porch perfect for morning coffee. Near the Benton Harbor Arts District, downtown St Joe, this cottage is surrounded by local restaurants, breweries, wineries, golf courses and shops. The beach is a year round destination, each season has its own wonders. Note: no TV, and WiFi can be spotty due to hills. Expect 90+ tiered steps to the sandy beach below. AC upstairs, original claw footed tub. No children under 12. Internet WiFi may be slow due to the cottage's location. Air conditioner upstairs bedroom only. Beach towels and beach chairs provided. Original club-foot bathtub has a hand-held shower head, tall people may find this awkward. Guests may park in front of the Green Cottage, and in front of the right side of the garage. Do NOT block left side of the garage. Back porch is private. Side deck is a common area where guests have use of picnic table under red umbrella. Host may cross through this area on the way to teahouse in back yard. Clothes line for beach towels is in cottage's back yard. The cottage is behind the main house. Let me know if you need anything. As an association neighborhood, I have included some protocol in the Welcome Handbook provided. Most has to do with the shared beach and trash management. No public transportation in this area. Kayaks can be rented at various points along the river. No children under 12. Cottage is over 100 years old and can not provide safe childproof measures.
