About this house rental
Make memories this summer! Kayak and fish from the back yard, grill on the patio, relax at the fire pit, walk your dog to the dog park, play board games indoors, or take your boat to the river.
Your pets are welcome. The back yard is fenced (dogs won't jump in the canal, as you'll see when you get here), and there is a dog park one block away.
LOCAL AREA
We’re located between trendy Marine City and Saint Clair, just minutes from the boardwalk, shops, restaurants, a small public beach, bowling alley, playhouse, and more. Sip coffee at a local cafe and watch freighters travel down the river from Canada. The Saint Clair river is beautiful and you can clearly see Canada on the other side.
PARK YOUR BOAT TRAILER!
If you have a larger boat, there is ample parking in our driveway for a pickup truck and boat trailer, and we provide an electrical outlet for charging. You can launch your boat in nearby Saint Clair, where the public boat launch costs just $7 a day. There is a lovely marina, boardwalk, shopping and restaurants for you to spend the day on the Saint Clair River.
EXPLORE THE LOCAL AREA!
Walk just one block to beautiful East China park, which features a dog park, hiking trails, tennis courts, and a jungle gym play area for kids. From our front door, the spectacular Saint Clair River and a view of Canada on the other side is only a two minute walk. If you need anything, a Dollar General is in walking distance.
BRING YOUR PETS!
Dogs are welcome. There is a $50 pet fee which covers the first two pets. Please scoop all poop from the yard and de-fur the house before you leave.
We provide dog bowls, a tie down, a pooper scooper, catnip, and a litter box on request. There's also a large dog crate in the canal room.
ENJOY BONUS KITTIES!
Our two friendly cats, Taro and Meensie, might stop by. Taro is gray and Meensie is black with white paws. Feel free to let them inside for purrs and petting during your visit. Just text us so we know where they are. (Or just shoo them away and they'll skedaddle.)
NOTE: OUR HOME IS DRUG-FREE
Marijuana is not permitted anywhere on the property, and tobacco smoking is not allowed indoors. Please see our house rules for full details.

Spectacularly beautiful home. Very tastefully decorated with every thing you could want. There is nothing you could want that isn't in this house.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
Phenomenal place. Stunningly beautiful house. Elegantly tailored. Lots of cool and unusual amenities. Best VRBO I have stayed in during the last four years.

The host was very helpful. The place had great amenities and looked amazing. The beds were very comfortable and the notes around the house were very helpful as well. Cant wait to stay again for future trips!
6 / 10Average·Dec 2024
The house is cute and tidy and sits in a lovely area on a quiet street. The host has provided everything you could possibly need for your stay, and there many thoughtful and unexpected touches. It's obvious that the host has worked very hard to provide a positive experience for the guest.
Which is why I hate to write about our negative experience, but I feel it's important for future renters to know about it.
We travel with our two dogs, so our number one priority is always a fenced-in yard. We won't book a house without it. If you look under "Popular amenities" on the first page of this listing, it states that the property has a fenced-in yard. But it turns out that only three sides are fenced in. The property line along the canal is wide open. Unfortunately, we were unaware of that fact. After driving for five hours, we arrived after dark and my husband immediately opened the gate next to the driveway and followed the dogs into the back yard for a little playtime. Because of the darkness, he couldn't see that the back was completely open until it was too late. By then one dog was getting ready to jump into the canal, and the other dog had slipped through the opened end of the fence and headed next door to the neighbors house.
My husband and I are both nearly 70 and our dog chasing days are behind us, so it was quite an ordeal rounding them up. And we just don't feel it's honest to say that the property is fenced in, and I definitely would not have booked it had Iiknde.
