Perfect place for a getaway!
Would not hesitate for a second to rent this charming wonderful home again! Comfortable living and bedroom spaces for many people. Well stocked with thoughtful touches and walking distance to downtown New Buffalo and lake Michigan. It would be amazing to stay in warmer weather to enjoy the porch and the beautiful back patio!

Perfect Girl’s Getaway
This house is just perfect! We loved everything about it. It was extremely clean, adorably decorated, in a spectacular location, and it simply felt like home. It has plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. We loved having coffee out on the porch in the mornings! The owner was very responsive and kind. I would highly recommend this rental!

Good Event Beach Weekend House
We had a great visit to New Buffalo staying in this house. The house was clean and had everything we needed. There is enough seating inside and out for a large party to eat meals and hang out. Also plenty of parking spots at the house and a perfect location to downtown and the beach. There was very little chores to do for checkout, just trash and the dishwasher. The host communicated promptly and was nice. The major note would be to make sure to plan your weekend accordingly knowing the house sleeps 12 but only has 1 shower. Even with that I would totally book this house again!

Charming house with awesome patio in great location
We had a great stay in this very charming and well-maintained house. Great location! Right across the street from Oinks and also very walkable to the beach and Barney’s grocery store. The outside patio was lovely with plenty of chairs and a fire pit. The house had everything we needed - only thing we bought was napkins. It even had 2 coffee makers! :-) The only thing I would point out is that the basement area has a pretty low ceiling so it is more suited to kids than adults. Also only one shower. Overall a wonderful house and we would definitely like to stay again!!

5 night stay
This is an amazing peoperty! Spotless, classic crisp decor, and furnishings that are also comfortable. The wifi was excellent; some work from "home" took place at a desk in the lower level bedroom with no prob. We walked everywhere; so much, including the beach, is a few blocks away. Typically I start my rental home list of needs immediately. This is the 1st time I had nothing to purchase-everything was provided, and all good quality. Easy accessibility to the home, great communication with host, very comfy beds and linens, cute bedrooms, and so much space! We are a small group of 5 for the big place, so quite a luxury to spread out as we did. Thank you, this was a perfect way to end our summer and we look forward to another stay!

Lovely Clean Home Great Location
The house was absolutely as described, neat, clean, well equipped and spacious! Walking distance to everything. We had 4 couples and 3 kids and the accommodations were absolutely perfect. I travel frequently and use VRBO successfully so here are my observations: 1. The advertised rate per night of $400 was actually $620 per night after you added the $250 cleaning fee, the $110 VRBO Service Fee and the mandatory $59.00 insurance fee (I bought the offered policy instead of leaving a $1500 damage deposit). There was also another required $500 refundable damage deposit. I knew all of the fees before booking but not before I started the booking process. It was still an excellent value for the location, but make sure you account for the add-ons in your budget (and before you tell your family the per night price). 2. We never got the TV to work with their Chromecast, so figure that out before your stay. 3. The beds were hard, good for some of us but not for me. 4. Make sure you understand that if you contact the property manager he responds to you through the VRBO site and not by direct email or phone. He was very responsive and helpful but I didn’t always know where to find the answers to my questions. All in all we had a great stay in a beautiful place with a very helpful property manager. I would definitely stay there again. Dana A, Chicago Illinois

We had a great time in New Buffalo! This beach bungalow was so nice for our group of 12. We walked to the beach and restaurants easily. It was quiet at night. The house was comfortable inside. Seating on the front porch and back yard table and chairs are nice options. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
