Welcome to Sand Castles Cottages, Cottage 4. (See all nine at www.airbnb.com/p/scc) We are close to two public beaches and located between St. Joseph & South Haven, MI. Our property is unique in that we have 9 vacation rental cottages on one acre. These cottages were built between the 1930s-50s and is one of the last properties of this type along Lake Michigan in this area. We have tried to keep the old charm while adding modern amenities.

Sand Castles Cottages is truly a family run business! We purchased the cottages 12 years ago and our family has grown up around them. Traveling with our homeschooled kids has been part of our life and we split time between Michigan and Florida. The beach is one of our favorite places to be!
