Beautiful home built for relaxation!

The home was perfect for us! High-end appliances throughout, clean and loaded with items for your trip to the beach! The screened in porch was a highlight! The beds were comfortable, space was not an issue and did I mention the 5-minute walk to the beach?? We will definitely stay here again!

Amazing stay!

We loved our stay here! The house is AMAZING! So clean and nice. Amazing kitchen and cooking supplies. Loved the screened in porch. Located 10 minutes from New Buffalo- we loved the public beach there. There is a beach called “Sunset beach” that’s about a 10 minute walk (you can’t park your golf cart there) or a 5 minute golf cart ride called Grand Beach (golf cart parking only) both beaches are private but very rocky and full of sticks etc… would still highly recommend this stay!

This was our second stay here and we just love it!! Quiet, peaceful and a quick walk to the beach!! 8 mins to downtown New Buffalo, 10 mins to Michigan City. The beds are comfy, the home is light and airy and the kitchen has everything you could need! The screened in porch is my fave spot by far!! We will be staying again!

Hidden Gem!

From check in to check out, every detail was taken care of. The property looks much better in person than even in the pictures. Everything was clean and new and up-to-date. Many thoughtful details were included, like the beach towels and the chairs and cooler for the beach. We actually didn’t use the golf cart, but it was great having it there. I highly recommend this. We had a wonderful time!
