Shorewinds beachhouse Garden Gate opens directly to beachpath No roads to cross!

Had a wonderful few days here with 2 granddaughters who loved the beach! We traveled by train from Chicago to New Buffalo. Got along fine without a car, but it would have been handy at times. Feels very safe and peaceful. A short walk down a path to the beach, but no beach view from the property. Restaurants, local small grocery store and gelato all an easy walk. Had one gorgeous sunset on the beach!

The property is one where we have stayed multiple times. Our host is everything you would hope for: accessible, attentive and very capable of meeting needs if they arise. The property itself is very well kept, pleasant, nicely decorated and very near the Lake Michigan beach. We will continue to come back here.

Shorewinds is a gem! Well-equipped kitchen, comfy and clean—so close to the beach, just down the path. Sunsets!Our host was great—provided complete information and very responsive. We spent a lot of time outdoors—the landscaping and patio areas are stunning. With a fantastic coffee/breakfast spot and dinner place within walking distance we were so content. Will return! Great for a couple or small family.

This property is truly a gem. Our family of four — two young kids in tow — had an absolutely wonderful stay. The space itself is beautifully appointed, and the location couldn’t be better: steps from the beach and close to everything you’d want to explore. It strikes that perfect balance of comfort and convenience that’s so hard to find. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

The cottage was decorated beautifully. The host was available as needed. The kitchen had everything you would need. The cottage is within close proximetry to steps to the beach. We recommed breakfast at Oaks Eatery, coffee/donuts/bagels etc. Black Current Bakery, winery St Julian's, Timothy for fine dining, and Union Pier Social for lunch. Cranes Pie Pantry & Restaurant offers 4 flight pies to taste at reasonable price.

Incredible weekend! The beach is perfect! Walking distance to great restaurants and a market with all the essentials :)

The host was very welcoming and the place was great for a relaxing weekend away from the city.

Everything was just perfect! We shall return!!!

Great location, easy access to beach, and Joan is a lovely host!!

A clean, charming cottage full of local character. The host was incredibly welcoming, the amenities were thoughtful and complete, and the location—right along the path to the beach—couldn’t have been better. A fantastic stay all around. Highly recommended, will happily stay again.

We have stated here in the past. The cottage is simply great and the location near Lake Michigan is superb. We will be back again!

Great location!! Such a charming cottage close to town and also on path to beach access.

We just returned from an incredible stay at this cottage, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The location is unbeatable—literally steps from the beach(30 second walk from backyard) which made it so easy for our family of four to enjoy long, relaxing days by the ocean.The cottage itself was spotless and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. From comfortable beds to a well-stocked kitchen, it was clear the hosts put thought into making guests feel at home. The space was just the right size for us, and we especially appreciated the little touches that made the stay extra comfortable.We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and beachfront home base for a family vacation.

We absolutely loved our stay! The cottage was very nicely decorated and clean. The location is perfect if you’re looking for beach-time. Communication was a breeze, and the property is exactly as stated in the listing. Would 100% stay there again!

This is our second time staying at Shorewinds cottage, which probably says enough. The cottage is amazing. It is *extremely* close to the beach. It is also well stocked and kid friendly (our 4 year old daughter loved the place). The food in the area is really good, with a couple of great restaurants and cafes - Union Pier Social, Tapa Tacos, Red Arrow Roadhouse, Whistle Stop Grocery. There are more restaurants and cafes in New Buffalo, which is very close. David's Delicatessen and Coffee is a must. Both times we have visited we came in March, and while it can be a bit chilly, we really enjoy the peace and quiet in the off season. other must-do things: Warren Beach Dunes and Galien River County Park

Our second stay...love the location and the layout. Our go-to long weekend getaway!

Property was accurately described. The kitchen was well appointed. Cozy hangout for the new year. Walk out to the beach in minutes. Will stay again.Joan was great to work with.

The property was simply gorgeous! The proximity to the beach was spot on. Had a wonderful stay with my best friend. Girl's trip! Kitchen was well equipped. I will definitely book again.

House is very clean, but be sure to know it is behind three other houses. Had there been a view it would have been outstanding!

Booked the shorewinds cottage as a last minute weekend trip for my mom and I and it was perfect! The inside was cuter and bigger than pictured. Everything was clean and comfortable. I loved the outdoor seating areas and the proximity to the beach - amazing to not have to cross the street to get to the beach. Perfect location within walking distance of the Whistle Stop, The Roadhouse and Milda's. Would definitely book again!
