Description Description
Surf Loft in St. Joseph, MI offers the best vacation experience! Enjoy a gorgeous living space with a fireplace, flat-screen TVs, and a professional Foosball table. Relax on a huge deck with a gas grill. Walk to the beach, park, harbor, arboretum, or explore downtown's boutiques, shops, eateries, and art museum. Featuring a spacious open design LR-DR-Kitchen, natural light, elegant bedrooms, and deluxe bathrooms. Perfect for a restful and memorable getaway.

THE SPACE
Walking into Surf Loft, located above Third Coast Surf Shop, you and your guests will be swept up by the deliciously spacious, beautifully lit, richly designed atmosphere. The combo platter of elegance and comfort is amazing! The living room-dining room-kitchen’s open design lends an extra layer of uncrowded roominess, and the hand-selected furniture, artwork, and accessories all add to the plush, metro-chic environment.

Feeling laid-back? Chill in front of the gas fireplace and watch a favorite show or movie on the extra-wide flat-screen TV. Care for a little gamesmanship? Invite a fellow guest to a game—or two or three—of Foosball, given there’s a top-of-the-line table sitting there in the living room! And speaking of high quality, the fully-equipped kitchen features everything you may need to create scrumptious meals or snacks, including stainless-steel appliances and a host of essentials you’ll enjoy dipping into. Plus, there’s a way-nice stone-top island we hear is a popular gathering place for morning coffee—and we set you up with only Keurig’s good stuff, by the way—or any vacation day planning. Want to share a meal in a more formal setting? We’ve got you covered with a sweet 6-seat dining table to meet your dining needs. There’s also a long hall table we’ve heard guests say serves nicely as a workstation, for those who may want to get some remote work in.

Both bedrooms are luxuriously appointed, have ensuite bathrooms, and feature top-quality bedding and linens to ensure a sound sleep and sweet dreams.

Bedroom 1: 1 King bed
Bedroom 2: 1 King bed and 1 Twin bed

Both bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms. The Primary bathroom has a walk-in tiled shower, deluxe twin-sink vanity, and high-end fixtures. The second bedroom’s ensuite bathroom has a shower-soaker tub combo with a Rain Shower head. It’s highlighted by a deluxe vanity and high-end fixtures. Plus, there’s a washer-dryer combo and all the essentials to meet your and your guests’ laundry needs.

Out on the huge deck, you and your guests can relax at the stylish patio set—with 6 sleek rattan chairs—or set yourselves down in the comfy outdoor couch and chairs set. Either way, we highly recommend sipping a glass of vino or your favorite beverage while counting stars at night. And if you get hungry for some lip-smacking barbecue, there’s also a top-notch gas grill out there for grilling to your heart’s content!

Being at Surf Loft, you’re literally just a short walk or stone’s throw from a superb Lake Michigan beach—the ever-popular Silver Beach, named one of the Top 10 Family Beaches in America by Parents Magazine—where you can also check out the Silver Beach Carousel and ride one of its 50 handmade carousel figures. You’re within walking distance, too, of lots of other cool amenities, including a county park, St. Joseph’s Harbor, an art museum and arboretum, plenty of eateries, stylish boutiques, antique shops, and other downtown places to explore. Nearby, you’ll also find six other excellent beaches, some with majestic sand dunes, hiking and biking trails galore, wineries and brewpubs, golf courses, and the region’s largest recreational harbor, with all sorts of water-related activities to dive into—from boat, jet-ski, kayak, canoe, or paddleboard rentals to day or evening cruises, fishing expeditions, and more.

This listing is located in a great area. Great restaurants, shops, and beach are all within walking distance. The listing was clean and had a great balcony for enjoying the outside. Highly recommend and would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay as a group of six plus a pup. The location is excellent, right downtown and super walkable. That does mean the front bedroom facing the street was a bit noisy early in the morning, but worth being able to walk to shops, restaurants and the beach easily. The space is large and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. The host was very responsive. We were missing some of the check in instructions (there are two doors to unlock with separate codes) but they responded quickly. I’d definitely stay here again!

We loved the fact that we parked the car and went days without using it. You can walk to the beach, shops, restaurants, etc. The loft had plenty of room for everyone. Lots of newer appliances and plenty of kitchen room. Great vacation! One important note--renters must be able to climb stairs. A narrow staircase with 18 stairs hauling up suitcases, cases of water, etc. It was great exercise but a bit daunting for anyone with mobility issues.

Long weekend getaway
Stayed at Surf Shop for 4 day weekend getaway. The condo was well appointed and professionally maintained- had everything we needed. Location was terrific- right above commercial property in the heart of town (steps away from restaurants/shopping) and 7 min walk down to Silver Beach. Management was responsive to all questions. Will definitely stay here again for next trip to St Joe

We had a great stay at The Surf Loft! The location was wonderful, easy to walk to everything. The loft was as described and was even more spacious than it looks in the pictures. The beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean. We enjoyed spending time out on the deck. We had one issue where the guidebook mentioned a designated parking spot but there actually wasn’t one. Juniper was very responsive about this and we appreciated that they reimbursed us for our parking. Overall, I would highly recommend.

Downtown And Fabulous!
We couldn't have asked for a better location - shops, restaurants, activities and of course the beautiful beach. The balcony was a great place to relax in between. The kitchen was very well equipped - best I've experienced in a VRBO property. Beds/towels comfortable. There were 5 of us and there was plenty of space. Felt very roomy. There is a lot behind the unit that is all day parking so that accommodated our 2 vehicles without issue. Only warning is that the stairs to enter the unit are narrow and steep, so one of us (age 82) found it challenging. This stay was perfection - would highly recommend!

Amazing stay! Be sure to enter from the front door (we didn’t review the guestbook closely enough until we arrived). Stairs lead to the loft just fyi in case you have to carry heavy bags. The loft was spacious and clean, much bigger than we expected. Quiet. Well equipped had everything we need from fooseball and plastic plates/cups for the kids along with towels for the beach and even some wine/coffee for the grown ups. Location is the best perk as it’s near all the shops and beach. We never had to get in our car.

The only negative was attempting to get into the place. The instructions provided a code for the front and back doors. Unfortunately, the back door led to the surf shop w/no access to the airbnb. The shop owners were quite upset. I believe this happens a lot by their reaction. Providing the code and instructions to ONLY use the front street door would be very helpful to future renters. Other than that, it was amazing!

What a great spot! We loved walking out the door to all of the boutiques and eateries right in the heart of town. The rooftop was such a nice bonus! Accommodations were comfortable enough for our family, and we really appreciated being able to bring our favorite 4-legged family member. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others!
