The house was clean and well appointed. Very peaceful back patio with great firepit and plenty of seating. Conveniently located to downtown and beach.

The property suited our needs. Close to the beach and shops. It had enough tableware and pots and pans. Some 'specialty' kitchen equipment, ie oven trays, rubber spatulas, cutting boards would have been nice.

We had a great time taking our 3 kids, their spouses and our 4 grandchildren on this family vacation. The house had plenty of room for everyone and we were able to walk to nearly everywhere we wanted to go. The outdoor space was great and we enjoyed a fire and making s’mores. The only suggestion I would make for the next people is if you need mixing bowls, cookie sheets or extra blankets make sure you bring them with you. Many things were provided including very nice stove top pans but no cookie sheets or mixing bowls.

Great location for walking to town and the beach along with plenty of space for the kids to be outside playing while at the house. Overall great experience.

My husband and I treated our son and some friends to a weekend in New Buffalo to celebrate his birthday. The house was perfect! Lots of comfortable sleeping areas (3 king sized beds!!!), a wonderful outdoor patio/fire pit, and so close to the beach and downtown. The house was spotless. I would definitely recommend for a family retreat!

My siblings and spouses(55-63)came with my 82 year old mom to relax and fish on our pontoon boat. Lake Michigan and the St Joe river were the perfect avenues for that!
The weather was beautiful and the crowd was light. We enjoyed the perfect location of the home and the wonderful patio.
Our ONLY critique would be that it would be nice to have basic seasoning (we left salt and pepper😂) and more cooking pans, specifically, a couple of cookie sheets.
We had a great time and would book it again!

I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived to find TONs of tables & seating on the side porch! It is not shown in the pictures, but I counted seating for 20+ people. That doesn't even take into account the fire pit area!
I've stayed at several VRBO that friends or family have rented and the listing/reviews always say how clean they are. They were adequate, but not spotless. Whoever they have cleaning this home, I want to hire! My wife is a clean freak and it even passed her inspection.
We had a child under 2 in our group, so it was a bit of a stretch to walk to the beach for her. And depending on how much gear you pack...coolers, umbrellas, chairs...you might be better off driving and parking. We actually paid for parking, then had a couple of the ladies in our group walked back at lunchtime, grab a vehicle and shuttle us back and forth to the beach so we wouldn't lose our parking. We were warned by the parking authority that the lot can fill up. Even though you have paid for the entire day, you might return after lunch and not find a spot to park. The shuttling was a very effective work around.
The two refrigerators was an added bonus, and the mini kitchen (No Oven/Range) in the basement was great. We are early risers, so we could get up and make coffee and lounge on the couch w/o disturbing the rest of the household.
We live in the country in the woods and was concerned when we saw HEALTHY poison ivy growing in the driveway and on the adjacent tree. I had some gloves and was able to pull up the Ivy in the driveway and warned the children and others to stay away from the tree. The yard was in desperate need of mowing. The kids would lose toys in the grass it was so tall (10" at least).
Tons of ceiling fans and lighting. Gratefully the switches were clearly marked.
Guests need to be warned to pull the grill out from the plastic railing on the porch. We noticed the rails were distorted from previous use and didn't want to make it worse.
The ice maker in the fridge was not functioning. We actually had a plumber in our group that looked at it and found a blockage. He believed he got it repaired but did not know where the shutoff valve was to turn the supply water back on. You got a free repair :-). It would have been nice to have more ice trays in lieu of the ice machine.
We Highly recommend this property. Tiny inconveniences were no deal breaker!

Great vacation spot!
Excellent space inside and outside for our group of 10! Close to downtown shopping and grocery store as well as restaurants, a little farther from the beach, but still within a 10-15 minute walk.
A few essential items (cookie sheet/baking pan) were unavailable in the kitchen which would have been helpful (not a deal-breaker). The downstairs doesn't have central air, but one window air conditioning unit in the living room. so bedroom doors needed to be left open. (the only real downside with a baby who needed to sleep & quiet)
Overall, we had an awesome time and highly recommend this property!

Great Spot, Fun Location
The house was comfortable and clean. The big deck and firepit patio offered plenty of room for relaxing with family. It’s a 15-minute walk to the beach and even closer to downtown, so the location is great too!

It was my parents first time to New Buffalo. They really enjoyed the location and proximity to restaurants and beach. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. The only thing we would have changed is having more comfortable seating upstairs. Thanks so much!

This home was perfect for our family get away. The kitchen and downstairs area was great place to gather since we had a one year old sleeping upstairs. The outside porch had more than enough seating for our family of 10. Great distance to downtown and the beach. We had a great time. Would rent again.

We had friends stay here during our wedding week and it was perfect. The house is very spacious and clean. There is a lot of patio space outside and a big yard. The decor is a dated style, but everything is still very clean and well cared for. It didn't feel run down at all. Short walk to the grocery store and shops and restaurants, and not too far from New Buffalo beach either.

Great location!
Could walk everywhere! Needed one more bathroom, sharing 2 small ones for 15 people was tough. Outside capacity was great, could hold all of our group comfortably for a cook out. Overall, great stay.

Great house!
This was the perfect house for our large family. TWO KITCHENS!! THREE showers! 5 bedrooms. So much space for us to gather and to spread apart. We had several meals outside on the deck. We walked to the beach, the town and to a kayaking rental.
We accidentally left something there and when we got home we emailed the owner and she immediately responded and helped us out!!

Great house a short walk from beach
Our friends had a great time at the property. It was very clean on arrival and had lots of plates and cups for our party of 8. It's a 3 minute walk to the store, 5 to town and 12 minutes to the beach. Thank you!

Wedding weekend
Had a great trip, loved the house. Would stay here again if/when we come back. Thanks for all you did to make us feel comfortable.
Couple of issues that did not effect our stay.
Bee hive above front door needs to be dealt with.
Run drain up satires is very slow.
No blinds in one of the bedrooms upstairs..
House decor is dated but extremely clean.
Thanks again for our stay, great location and also works well for large group gatherings!!!

Great little beach town, Nice place to stay
The property was in good shape and we had an enjoyable 4 day stay. The only difficulty was the air conditioning was not working, and it took 24 hours (1/4 of our stay) for them to get it working. The only cooking supplies were for coffee and salt and pepper. There were no condiments, other spices, or cooking oil. The beach was a short walk and very nice. The grocery store was an even shorter walk. There were lots of nice eating places in town.

Family get together
Was a great property for the time we were there. Super comfortable for all 11 of us (10 + infant). Kitchen space worked well to make a few meals. Could use some cutlery and a baking tray for some of the things we made. Good sized rooms and plenty of space for kids to play. One down side was that the only room that fits a pack and play had no shades to make it dark. Suggest bringing a sheet or something to make that room darker. Walkable to town and the beach if you aren’t carrying a ton, but can also shuttle down and then park and walk from property. Overall a great place for New Buffalo and we would certainly stay again.
