The property was perfect. The space and accommodations were great for our annual shopping trip to all the boutiques in New Buffalo. The house was spacious for all four of us retired women. It is walking distance to town. The local restaurants were great, Jackie's Cafe for breakfast and Redamaks for dinner, both were tasty.

Fabulous location! The house felt larger in person and was perfect for us. We had 6 adults (3 families) and 3 children. It was the perfect amount of space for each family to have a room and pack n play in the room. The yard is huge for playing after a beach day, and the home in general was a great set up for a friends trip. We grilled out, walked to the beach daily (bring a wagon for the kids), and walked to other dinners nearby. Once we arrived we never touched the car! The overall cleanliness could be improved upon. There was a lot of things that were in dresser drawers, under ottoman when moved, band aid in the trundle bed, and things in the dryer and on top of the dryer. Lots of little trinkets and decor on surfaces that could honestly be eliminated to help with the things that guests bring in. I don't think those negatives outweigh the home and our group would book again! Fabulous random kid things like a highchair, some kids toys, and a whole chest of board games for the adults. I think there is a lot more to this home than the listing says and it was great!! We have never been to new buffalo and we are highly considering making it a destination we visit again.
Such a lovely screened in porch.
The smaller dining table in the kitchen was perfect for the kids then the larger one in the living room was fabulous for everyone as well!!
