New Buffalo House

The house was great for a long weekend. The yard is big enough to play lawn games and it’s a short walk to downtown. P.S. don’t use the downstairs air conditioner if you stay here in the summer… it leaks and the floor is carpet.

Short Vacation

Well stocked and clean. Power went out our last night and it was in the 90's that day. I was a little surprised that none of the windows would open for ventilation. There are plenty of fans provided but some air would of helped. Overall a great place and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Driveway blind spot

There is a large bush with lots of creeping grapevine that obstructs the view of the road towards town and makes it difficult to exit safely

Disappointed

The property was ok. Decent location. Several issues during a 1 night stay. Water on bathroom floor and wet carpet outside bathroom door. Toenail clippings on carpet. Shower pressure wasn't great and tub held water. Shower broke after 2nd use and 3 of us weren't able to shower. No discount was offered even though all issues were immediately reported to property owner. Management did come out and inspected water on carpet and bathroom floor. Toenail clippings weren't addressed and didn't respond before check-out about broken shower. Extremely disappointed.

New Buffalo

We had a great time in New Buffalo the weekend of April 2nd to celebrate my wife’s birthday with some of our friends. Hit all of the fun spots in town: Beer Church, Casey’s, Ghost Isle, etc. Home was perfect for the 4 of us that stayed overnight. Good location and in the middle of everything. Locations are walkable but located on a major traffic thoroughfare so I don’t recommend, especially at night. If you are looking for a short one night or two night stay I would recommend. House was very clean.

More of a Summer Stay

The property was fine for a shorter stay. Not really comfortable, but I could see it being a great crash-pad for Summer months. It was a little dingy, the furniture was not comfortable, and the kitchen was woefully under-stocked. It is also located on a very busy highway. Fine enough for our stay, but we would likely choose different accommodations in New Buffalo in the future.

Great Location!

Location couldn't be better for the price. This was my first time visiting New Buffalo, and I will definitely be back. Augie's was perfect for our friends trip to the beach/lake. Pros: great access to beach, restaurants, breweries by walking. Open floor plan was great while at the house and hanging out. Big table where we could all fit to eat. Complimentary Netflix was a hit! Plus the movie collection is very extensive. Firepit and outdoor area were great; ample seating. Plus they have a very nice grill for a short-term rental! Great parking. Outdoor shower is unique (hose off the house, so not warm). I used this after our beach day and it was perfect! Cons: only one true bedroom (closed-door). The other beds (two twins and one full/queen) were separated (up and down stairs), but no door to the rooms. Not a huge deal to us guys, but could be a deal breaker for those with small children/infants. Kitchen is not huge, but definitely functionable (all cookware and dining utensils you need). Street noise everyone mentions is bearable. If you're the type to sleep with a fan (like myself), it's truly not a bother. Overall, I would absolutely stay again if with my friends. If with family, I may look elsewhere just based on the doors as I have a toddler and understand how that goes. Kids over 5 shouldn't have a problem sleeping here. Definitely give this place a look!

Only sleeps 6 as cots not good to sleep on. Kitchen needs more counter space and dishwasher would be nice. Bathroom could use a good scrubbing in shower. Living room furniture was not comfortable. Probably would not stay here again

Lots of potential

Stayed at the cabin for a family ladies weekend. New Buffalo is a fun town with all sorts of fun things to eat, see, and do nearby! The house had a nice location definitely- walking distance to all those things, but could use a bit of a makeover. The decor was too mismatched for my taste, maybe even a tad too outdated as well. The kitchen needs more counter space and a better cleaning. The ledges were super dusty and unkept, along with the floors. I can appreciate the theme they were going for all over and the attempt to fit as many sleeping spaces as possible. Overall, we had fun and I would give it a 6.5 out 10. With a few tweaks here and there, and some updates I would entertain another stay.

Great location for wineries and breweries. Close to the national park. Cute themed house (a little dated but it was clean and everything you need is there). Great outdoor space. Had some troubles with a window, they were willing to fix right away if needed. Also, very nice to look for a lost earring.

A cute house near downtown

We enjoyed our stay at this house and as a family of 3, we had plenty of room. The house is walking distance to the downtown New Buffalo area, where you can find shopping, food, drinks and the beach. The house is also nicely stocked with beach item (though we went when it was too cold for the water). The kitchen doesn't have a lot of counter space, so if you plan to cook many meals, you might have to prep on the dining room table. We didn't think there was a lot of silverware/utensils (but plenty of plates, bowls and cups), and there is no dishwasher, so you might consider disposable items if you have a larger group staying there. Our only downside to this house was the noise from the road as the house sits right on the main street and cars/trucks drive by 24/7. I would suggest you bring a noise/sound machine if you are a light sleeper. The road noise plus the fact that 2 of the sleeping areas are open to the living room makes it hard for a quiet night of sleep if you try and put kids down and then want to sit up and watch TV/play games/talk as adults. However, they do have a nice deck and fire pit outside, so you can always go out there if little ones are sleeping in the house.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Augustus

Host profile image
This property was purchased for the purpose of deigning a surf house in the New Buffalo, Michigan. Surf houses like Auggie's Surf House exist all up the East Coast, California Coast, Hawaii, and Australia. But there wasn't one in the Third Coast. I wanted to give my customers a real surfing experience whether they surf or simply enjoy the surf and beach decor.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique in that it is in town yet offers private woods in the back. It is a large property equipped with an outdoor shower - large deck - fire pit. The inside is decorated for beach and surfing enthusiasts. Sure anyone can rent a house by a beach. This house was designed to give the customer a beach house and more. What's also great about this property is that you can drive up and park your car and leave it until it's time to leave New Buffalo. Walk to beach during day with provided surf boards and boogie boards. Stop by Third Coast Surf Shop and pick up some surf apparel. Hang out at the surf house after. Do some grilling on the deck. Then, at night, head out on foot to popular places like Redamacks, Stray Dog, and Buffalo Bills Bar-B-Q and more.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits to Auggie's Surf House in addition to all the amenities like deck, outdoor shower, fire pit, DVDs, books, grill, hammocks, is the feeling you will get when your there. You will feel like your part of something special. Your not just staying in a hotel room or house. You really feel like your on vacation.
