Description Description
Experience lakefront living at its finest! This modern five-bedroom, six-bathroom, three-level lakefront home offers everything you need for a comfortable getaway. Located in the northernmost part of Benton Harbor, the property is just over 100 miles from Chicago and less than two miles from the highway for easy access — a terrific spot to enjoy amazing Lake Michigan sunsets.

Property highlights include a private, heated, covered pool with lounge chairs and outdoor dining space, expansive windows with stunning lake and backyard views, two separate living areas (main floor and lower level) for relaxing and entertaining, and a gourmet kitchen fully equipped with high-end appliances and smart technology.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom and three additional bedrooms each offer their own attached bathroom, along with a cozy reading nook and a front office. The lower level adds a fifth bedroom with bunk beds, plus a family sitting area and playroom that opens right out to the pool.

If you're looking for a more traditional large beach experience, Silver Beach in downtown St. Joseph is just 7 miles away, with shops and restaurants of its own.

Great Lake Harbor is offered by Third Coast Vacations, a full-service vacation rental company run by locals who love Southwest Michigan. Staying with us gets you discounts on beach gear, charcuterie boards and breakfast delivered to your door, and access to a local concierge for winery trips, distillery tours, and more.

Our large family had plenty of room with the spacious living areas, bedrooms and bathrooms. We loved being on the lake and having our own private pool. The house was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked on the grill often. It is a “smart” house which caused us some problems when we lost power due to a storm, but otherwise we loved the smart features! Would definitely recommend the house for a large crowd! It was perfect!

Thank you for your wonderful review, Lauren! We're delighted to hear Great Lake Harbor was a great fit for your family gathering. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the spacious layout, private pool, and well-stocked kitchen, and that the home provided plenty of room for everyone to relax and spend time together. We appreciate your understanding regarding the temporary power outage during the storm and are glad it didn't take away from an otherwise enjoyable stay. Thank you for choosing Third Coast Vacations, and we hope to welcome you and your family back to Harbor Country again soon! ☀️🏊‍♀️🏡

The property was excellent—new, well-finished, and equipped with all the amenities we needed. The views and sunsets were beautiful, and the hot tub was very enjoyable, though it didn’t have jets and didn’t get extremely hot. There’s no direct beach access, but the setting still feels relaxing and scenic. Note that there are exterior cameras around the pool area and garage, which some guests might find concerning. Overall, a wonderful stay and we're planning to book again next year!

This magnificent lake house is warm, inviting & stocked with every amenity you could want. The host & house exceeded all of our expectations from the private heated pool to game room, spacious and well stocked kitchen to large bedrooms & bathrooms and the most spectacular sunsets each night! Everything was sparkling clean & very well organized. So happy to have discovered it and spent the week creating amazing memories.

Pool Video Cameras / No Lake Access / Hard Bed
3 outdoor surveillance cameras pointed at the pool (1 directly) plus other outside and inside garage cameras that were not disclosed anywhere in the listing or otherwise as required to be disclosed per VRBO policy. We pulled into garage sometime after initial arrival to unload groceries and received a text - 'the owner saw you in the garage and requested you not use the garage.' Unsettling to now know we were being actively watched then add in the pool cameras. It just made us all feel very uncomfortable. Also "No garage use" wasn't disclosed anywhere either. After a series of emails, texts, and calls owner agreed to shut off the cameras but it still felt a little awkward. We covered the one by the pool that we could reach for the duration of the stay. Also there is no lake access from the house - the house is built on a bluff with no way to get down to the beach - this was not clear from the listing. Public beach access is not even within a walkable distance. Primary bed was rock hard and we had to use a topper we found just to be able to sleep on it. "Hot tub" is just that. No jets or jacuzzi - just a hot tub of water. All that said it is a really beautiful brand new home that is incredibly well-appointed and supplied. They refunded a portion of the rental.

The house was outstanding. It was clean, spacious and a great location. The only suggestion we had was to add some shade to the pool deck.

Hi! I was curious about the stairs to the beach - Are they private stairs or HOA/shared? Are the stairs on the actual property? Or do you have to walk to them? If you have to walk, how far is it? Thank you! Erin

Erin W - Posted: 08/10/2026

Answer:

The stairs are private and located directly on the property, so you won’t need to walk anywhere else to access them. They’ll take you right down to the beach.
