The
Cottages* on State Street
|
I am
pleased to make my recently upgraded 100+ year old Victorian style home
available to you, your friends and family as you vacation in our area. The property
is located in the Old Neighborhood of St. Joe. You can sit on the porch and
get a glimpse of Lake Michigan. A 10 second (yes, second!) walk gets you to a
clearing on the bluff from which you can sit and watch the lake and the
glorious sunsets that it produces. Take your glass of wine with you and
enjoy! The
property is about a 10 min walk from downtown shopping & dining and about
a15 min walk from Silver Beach.
If you need to drive, thereÕs reasonable parking space wherever you need to
be. The
property is a 7 minute drive from the new Jack Nicklaus designed golf course
at the Harbor Shores development as well. There
are 2 ÔcottagesÕ on the property, both of which have many charming
attributes, many of which are recent improvements including: original
hardwood floors restored, higher ceilings, remodeled colorful kitchen, cheery
colored bedrooms. Both are wonderfully decorated with custom painted
furniture, wicker, bright colors and tasteful dŽcor. * yes IÕm aware that this is not really 2 cottages,
but once you see how cutely decorated and charming the apartments are, you
might forgive my semantics. |

It is necessary that we both sign a rental agreement before occupancy will be extended. If time allows, a filled out rental agreement will be sent to you which you will need to sign and return. Otherwise, you will be expected to sign an applicable copy at the time of your arrival.
