A great family trip

We loved the cleanliness and space in the house. Plenty of areas to gather and spread out. The pool is clean and warm and we were able to be in it all day even as it cooled down toward the evenings. Would definitely stay here again!

The pool!!!

If you have a family with kids this is the perfect spot. The pool was what did it. When you’re done with the beach and the kids have a little energy to burn off after dinner but before bed, it’s perfect. The deep end of the pool has to be over 5 1/2 feet, perfect for teenagers. You get to set the hot tub temperature, 99 degrees with the whole family enjoying themselves, in and out of the heated pool and the hot tub. Stairs are there so you have to keep an eye on the little ones, but soooo worth it. Please everyone use the shower downstairs, it’s amazing!

Overpriced-Low Quality- Lacked Essentials

House exterior was not well maintained-weeds and untrimmed trees around pool. Hot tub was murky and exterior light bulbs not working. Even the inflatables were not usable. Poor quality beds and linens, outdoor mats had holes in them, kitchen had the bare minimum essentials to prepare a meal. Would not stay again.

“Vacation” with 8 kids

My family (kids ages 1, 2, 4, and 6) stayed here with another couple who also have 4 kids the same ages. House was clean and felt newly redone on the inside. Everything was pretty well set up for kids. Doors out to the pool are deadbolted and have added child locks. To get down to the pool off the deck you have to open gate that was too difficult for even the 6 year olds to open independently. They had a basket of toys, and a bunch of board games. Only child proofing recommendation I would make to those looking at staying here is to bring a baby gate if you have any kids not comfortable on stairs. The stairs leading down to the basement are open to the main floor. Location is very walkable to town and a longer walk to the beach. This walk is through town though so easy to make a pit stop on the way to/from. The negative about the location is that it is on the main road so can’t really let kids play in front yard. Overall it’s a great house and we hope to return!

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!

Perfect Location and Nice Place

Five adults and four children were easily able to have a wonderful stay at The Whit. It is as advertised. Highly recommended. The location is walkable to everything, and the pool is really special. The service was also fantastic upon one minor hot tub issue we found at check-in. Do not hesitate. Book at The Whit!

Good House but average experience overall

We rented this house as a group of friends to enjoy our Memorial Day weekend. The house itself was good and the location was great. A few things that I want to highlight that could have made our experience better: 1. We asked the host for the code to the garage, which was shared to us. We wanted to understand if there is space to park our car in the garage and to understand if we could borrow firewood. Since the host shared the garage code, we opened the garage and went in to look for firewood. We understood that we were not supposed to use the things from the garage from a note there so we closed the garage. We then got a call from the host saying they have videos of us going through their personal property and that we were never supposed to have been in the garage. This felt extremely unprofessional. If we weren’t supposed to be there, we should have never received the code. They shared the code and then they called us and made it sound like it was our fault. The conversation felt very accusative which we did not appreciate. 2. The dishwasher was completely broken and was a major inconvenience. We hand washed all our dishes throughout the trip and had to clean the multiple leaks from the dishwasher.3. The kitchen was not very well stocked, it only had very basic condiments. The ice bag in the freezer was already open and used. 4. The swimming pool could have been heated a few degrees more for a much better experience. Overall, an average experience.
