Nice house, but…
The house was plenty big for our family - 10 people, counting a 2 month old stayed. It was a nice location close to the private beach and the public beach. We loved the gourmet kitchen and the large family kitchen table. A few items that would have been nice to have are bedside tables or a nightstand, a functioning clock, and a note about a lot of furniture being down filled - not a good option for allergies. Also, the TVs prohibited additional app downloads like Hulu. Also, there are no TVs in the bedrooms which was a bit of a disappointment.

Excellent experience!!!
This was my families second time staying at the Hill House and it didn’t disappoint. The home is spacious enough for everyone to have personal time but also be able to cozy up around the fire or congregate around the dinner table. We recommend the Hill House for anyone looking to have a relaxing modern experience.

A Perfect Family Retreat
Hill House is spectacular. When you walk in the house it almost takes your breathe away. The kitchen/main living area is the heart of the house- gourmet kitchen, gorgeous dining table that sets the scene for hours of time to connect with family and friends. Amazing view of Lake Michigan from the 3rd floor- and proximity to the beach made for a wonderful week. The location is wonderful and we took advantage of the restaurants and shopping in the darling town! Highly recommend a vacation at Hill House.

Great Place to Disconnect!
We recently stayed at Hill House with 11 of our close family members. Location is great, 20min walk to beach, 5 min drive from most shops and restaurants. Having a golf cart available was great to get to beach for the older generation in family, but also the kids loved learning to drive. House was really well done and we all enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to getting back!

Perfect!!
I stayed at this property for a weekend with 8 friends and it was the perfect place to getaway! The house is brand new and gorgeous. The photos are very accurate, everthing was spotless, and the furnature was high quality. Each couple had a private bedroom but we all loved hanging out in the huge living room/kitchen and around the firepit. One friend slept on the giant couch, which was super cozy. The third floor has a huge patio with a view of the lake. The house is up a hill in a private community which was very quiet and felt totally safe. We loved using the golf cart to ride like 3 minutes to the beach which was clean and peaceful. We also appreciated the beach towels, umbrella, coolers, and frisbee to make our beach trip complete! They also had bags (cornhole) in the garage for use. Downtown St. Joe's is a 5 minute car ride and we found free parking each night and loved getting dinner and walking around. The owners were responsive and easy to communicate with. Also, the beds were like clouds, I literally purchased a new mattress when i got home. Overall, perfect stay for a chill, relaxing getaway with family or friends. I'm currently looking at properties in the area because I didn't want to leave!
