This property is very well kept. They have thought about everything you may need for your stay. Beach is a bit of a walk but absolutely a beautiful beach. We had 9 people staying and we all had plenty of room. Kitchen was stocked well. They had a wagon and chairs to use at the beach. We had a wonderful stay!

There’s clean, and there’s REALLY clean. This place was really clean!! I’ve stayed in this area 10 or more times and this maybe the best so far. Very short walk to beach, board games, beach toys, hot tub, fireplace! Perfect for my wife, our 3 kids and myself! They even provided firewood!! Will definitely go back! Thanks for the memories!!!

Omg you guys. This place was amazing. The kids toys and games that were provided, towels for bath and beach, wagon for beach stuff, beach toys, chairs (that you can just strap to your back for the walk to the beach), EVERYTHING you could possibly need. And it was IMMACULATE. Plenty of room for the 5 of us, and could’ve easily added another 4 with plenty of space. Couldn’t recommend this enough! There is a place close by where you can rent umbrellas, etc for the beach and the pick up is literally a mile from the house and everyone there was wonderful, too! (Sobbing joyfully)

This property was perfect for our annual girls' weekend get-away. This was the first time for this group to stay in MI but it did not disappoint. The location of this house was close to MI City outlet mall shopping and great wineries, distilleries, restaurants and tap rooms. The house was clean upon arrival and stocked with all the amenities we needed for the weekend. Despite the weather, we walked to the beach which was close by. The hot tub was perfect for a chilly evening, with the wood burning fireplace another cozy spot to hang out and catch up. We would definitely recommend this property.

Highly recommend this beautiful, spacious, immaculate home! Plenty of room for our family. Loved the open living room/kitchen area and 2 bedrooms and bathrooms on each side of home. Short walk to very nice beach. Easy drive to many area restaurants. House had everything you could possibly need for the week. Beach towels, wagon and plenty of beach chairs was a great bonus. Management was so easy to work with—thank you for a perfect summer vacation.

My sister and our friends have been planning a little girls’ weekend away for months now. Lakeside was exactly what we were hoping for. Plenty of space in the house (loved that there were 3 bathrooms), absolutely spotless and a great location for anywhere you want to go. We loved enjoying our coffee on the large porch and chatting in the beautiful weather we had. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

We vacation in this area almost every summer. Love the beaches and the relaxed vibe of SW Michigan. This is one of the best rentals we have booked: super clean, well supplied kitchen, great back yard, good floor plan, and great location. There are beach towels, chairs, wagon and toys! You really don’t need to pack many extras. Management company was great, too. Five stars!

Beautiful home with gorgeous front porch steps from private beach

Beautiful home with gorgeous front porch steps from private beach

My family (my parents, myself, sister and my 9 year old) spent a week at Sunnyside Cottage in Lakeside. We absolutely loved the home. It was in spotless condition when we arrived. The cottage decor is gorgeous and fits in well with the beach theme. With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, we all had our private space when needed, but the kitchen with the to-die-for island and the cozy livingroom offered us great places to gather. We spent most of our time at the private beach (small, but beautiful and never crowded and a very easy walk, about 5 minutes). We also rented bikes and enjoyed some beautiful bike rides along Lakeshore Road. We also loved the front porch, very spacious with a great porch swing. The location is perfect, so close to the beach but a very short drive away to coffeeshops, bakeries and New Buffalo restaurants. Jason and staff were also very responsive and easy to work with. We would highly recommend this cottage if you plan to vacation in Harbor Country!

Michigan Summer Vacation

Michigan Summer Vacation

The house was nicely updated and had everything we needed. There are lots of beach toys and necessities which is nice so you don't have to bring your own. It was a quick walk to a private beach where we enjoyed watching the sunset many nights. It was also a short drive to Warren Dunes State Park where we could rent paddle boards and kayaks or hike the dunes. That was fun for a full beach day. The management company was great; very quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Overall it was a good property. The only reason for the four star rating instead of a five is the road to the house is a poorly maintained gravel road that is so full of potholes. You also walk along this on your way to the beach. Things are overgrown and it makes the area seem unkept. I don't believe this has anything to do with the management company of course. I'm sure the city of Lakeside is responsible for that. It would be nice if they could fix it, since that's your first impression as you arrive at the house. This was our first visit to Michigan and we look forward to exploring even more of this beautiful state!

Michigan Memories

Michigan Memories

Sunnyside Cottage was the perfect place for our family to spend Thanksgiving. From the well-appointed kitchen to the cozy fireplace, our family was able to spend time together playing games, watching movies, and walking the beach for amazing sunsets. Everything about Sunnyside made the long weekend fun for everyone, whether it was time spent in the hot tub, reading a book by the fire, or playing cards at the large dining table. And at the end of the day, we were able to retreat to our rooms and get a great night's sleep. Thank you for helping us make great memories!

Amazing little beach cottage!

Amazing little beach cottage!

The sunnyside cottage was the perfect place to spend a long weekend with our group of friends. The house was fully stocked and spacious and had awesome extra amenities like a hot tub, outdoor shower, huge front porch with swing, and an indoor wood burning fireplace. The house was definitely clean and well stocked with most of the necessary home stuff like beach supplies, games and books, dishes and cooking supplies, but make sure you bring tupperware, oil, spices and coffee as you would with most vacation rentals. If I had any complaint, the beds/pillows/sheets didn't match the quality of what would be expected judging by the rest of the house, but I always bring my own pillows anyway so I got by. What made the place really worth returning to is the access to the private beach! It's a couple minute walk past some really cool houses to get to a private, quiet beach with gorgeous sand and blue water. We also went to Warren Dunes and instantly regretted it because it wasn't as nice as our little private beach (private meaning just for neighborhood/association use, there were always a couple other families around but it was never crowded). Overall, it was a special, quiet and peaceful place and definitely worth another trip someday!

Amazing Lake Vacay!

Amazing Lake Vacay!

My family (adults and children (1-6 yr old) were very happy with our stay at Sunnyside Cottage! The house was very clean and well stocked with everything needed for a great week. Highlights: BEACH Easy short walk to the beach. There are some stairs but nothing we couldn’t handle. We brought a wagon and used that to haul beach stuff and the one year old. The beach is beautiful. It’s set between two private beaches. Most of the days we had enough space for social distancing. HOUSE Clean house Nicely updated and decorated Games, legos, beanie babies for kids My girls loved the front porch swing and the swings in the back yard. We spent most of our time on the spacious front porch. Blue Fish Vacation Rentals was fantastic to work with! Jason and Erica were very prompt and helpful with information. We look forward to our lake vacay next summer!!

Property was clean, well stocked, easy to enter; great porch with lots of chairs. Plenty of seasoned wood for fires. Hot tub was delightful, serviced once while we were there. Super kitchen and big table for family to gather. Only glitch, due to crazy COVID, couldn't access beach stuff in the 'playhouse'. Easy walk to beach. Would HIGHLY recommend

Stayed here as part of a group of 7 best friends, and we had a fantastic experience!! The hose was so amazing and very well appointed that we wound up spending most of our time enjoying hanging out around the house or exploring the quiet nearby beach and peaceful neighborhood! We are already scheming how we can make a stay at this adorable cottage happen again next year! Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Comfort, Convenience, and Quality Lodging and Location

Two families (4 adults and 4 children) stayed a week at the Sunnyside Cottage. We loved everything about our accommodations. As advertised, it was sunny and open in the main living area. All rooms were modern and recently remodeled. The location was prime for visits to New Buffalo, Warren Dunes beach, and St. Joe's. The private beach was nearby and easily accessible. I highly recommend and would stay there again on a future trip to the area.

Beautiful and clean vacation cottage!

We loved our trip to Lakeside and Sunnyside Cottage! The cottage was airy and spacious, clean, updated and had everything we needed for a wonderful week! The walk to the beach was three short blocks, a little far for toddler legs... but the wagon provided in the playhouse was a great way to haul everyone back after a long day of swimming and sand castle building! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful place to stay.

This property was perfect. The house was immaculate. The kitchen was to die for and the openness to the living area was perfect. Beds were very comfortable. Walks in the neighborhood we’re very enjoyable. The walk to the very nice beach was easy even for us elderly grandparents. Quite a bit of driving for groceries or any other stores. Nothing much available nearby.

The perfect vacation home!

The perfect vacation home!

I want to thank both Jason from Bluefish rentals and his staff for making this vacation week the best my family has enjoyed in the last five years of trips to the New Buffalo area. Jason has been able to make our stay so easy with his extra care and helpfulness. One year he solved an issue of a lightning strike to our vacation unit in the middle of the night. This year he helped at arrange the delivery and pickup of an oxygen concentrator to the house for my use. The Sunnyside Cottage had everything we needed to make our week extra special. The only request would be a fire-ring at the cottage for those evening bonfires. Thanks again for a wonderful week!
