No-stress New Buffalo Vacation home
I am giving our experience at The Whit five stars - but please read further to make sure it works for your vacation. We enjoyed our stay at The Whit for three nights - just four of us so the house was the perfect size!! The pool and deck is the largest selling point here! We decided that we are more a "pool family" versus a "beach family," (haha) so the proximity of the house to the beach was perfect and we were able to enjoy the best of both worlds. One night we built a fire in the pit and enjoyed S'mores. The house is conveniently located and is a short walk to all the wonderful shops and restaurants that New Buffalo has to offer. The Whit itself is in great condition. The beds are all fairly comfortable but could use some new pillows! The house can sleep ten people but if you're all going to shower before dinners out, there are only two showers. In my opinion that would be the only negative in booking this house with a larger group. For my family of four (teenaged kids) we had plenty of space. There is a sliding door that closes off the bedroom area, so if you had little kids going to bed at an early hour, you could close off the bedrooms and still enjoy the main living space. In addition, the washer and dryer work great! Lastly, the Whit is pet friendly. We also brought our mini Australian Labradoodle who stayed in his crate while we were gone. There is a hose where we washed him off after the beach. I would recommend this house!
