Amazing!

This property was perfect for our extended weekend adventure. The condo has all the amenities and everything we needed. It's located at the marina; so, you are close to all the beauty that surrounds Lake Michigan. We had fun walking the town and shopping. The restaurants are wonderful. The hiking experience at Warren Dunes and Galien County Park are amazing.

Great location, great views, great experience!

Wow! Nearly 360-degree views of the beautiful New Buffalo marina, from both inside and out. Enjoyed morning coffee on the east balcony and sunset cocktails on the west balcony. Fantastic location—walked to nearly everything—beach, restaurants, grocery store, and shops. Nicely decorated, spacious, updated, and stocked with supplies. Owners were incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful. Can’t wait to go back!

Sister visit to New Buffalo

The condo was very nice with mamy windows and located within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Upon arrival, the code was not accurate, so it was a bit nerve-racking. The owner quickly, so we were able to get in. The condo is a very nice size and offered a nice view of yhe marina. I do feel like the overall cleanliness could have been better.. answered quickly and i

Perfect Spot in New Buffalo!

Great amenities in this condo. The owners have out a lot of love into ever little detail. I felt like I was staying with family… there was anytbing and everything we needed. Chairs, tent for the beach, so many beach towels, robes, kitchen staples, toys, etc. I could’ve packed half of what I did because it was already there for us. Highly recommend this if you’re wanting to be right by the beach and have children. Would be great for a couple getaway too. Music on the marina on Monday when we were there. Many walks to the beach and great local food and shops. Thanks for the hospitality! We will be back!

Perfect Beach Stay

We wanted a place where we could see water while sipping coffee in the mornings and be able to access the beach quickly and easily. This location was perfect and only a short walk also to shops and restaurants. The condo was exceptionally clean, well appointed and equipped with anything we would need during our stay. We could not have been more pleased with this rental and we will definitely go back. Our hosts were lovely and more than willing to answer any questions we had.

Fun Getaway

Great property if you want to enjoy the Michigan shoreline side of Lake Michigan. We have been all up and down the Cheesehead side of the lake but not the dunes side- great trip. Apt faces west so great sunsets on the deck. Comfortable and clean, easy to work with the owners.

Retirement celebration in NB

Fantastic stay. Best location and views. Really enjoyed everything about the property. Celebrated a retirement and a couple BIG birthdays and our stay could not have been better. Our host, Melanie, was a joy to rent from and responded very promptly to all of our concerns prior to booking and checking in. Only regret was the weather was not warm enough to enjoy the decks on either end of the unit. But, we already plan to book here again when the weather is warmer.
