    Our family and friends and dog loved this home! We have been vacationing in this area every summer for almost 30 years and this is definitely one of our favorites! Great location, short walk to the beach, super clean home that has an amazing and stocked kitchen - the hosts have thought of everything! Thank you!!!

    Fantastic beach cottage tucked away in Gowdy Shores! Just a short walk from the beach trailhead, and filled with personalized touches that really made the place feel like home, my family loved our week long stay here. If you are someone who likes to cook (we are), the kitchen is a chef's dream...fully stocked with anything you could need to make whatever your heart desires. The beds were comfortable, and I appreciated the extra fans in each room for white noise and some air circulation at night. Chris is a fantastic host who has thought of everything you might need (cleaning supplies, food storage, flashlights and first aid kits...just to name a few) We loved the front porch and the game cabinet. Everything about this place speaks to comfort, relaxation, and love. Thanks for having us!

    This is a great beach house, not fancy—- funky but fun. Neighborhood is quiet, and beach is close. We have no complaints and would definitely recommend. Chris was excellent host.

    We had a terrific stay at the 4 Seasons Bungalow! Our family of 5 plus our two dogs found plenty of space to relax and recharge in the beautiful house. Our kids loved that they each could spread out in their own rooms. We loved cooking in the kitchen and spent each morning drinking our coffee on the porch after walks with the dogs through the laidback neighborhoods and woods. Our afternoons were spent on the beach. Loved seeing the deer as we walked to and from the beach. Sunsets were everything we expected, breathtaking. Late evenings were then spent in the great room filled with laughter and relaxing. Enjoyed eating out at some great restaurants and even found a terrific sailboat ride with Captain Steve at New Buffalo Sailing to watch the sunset from on our last evening. A perfect ending to our perfect escape. The house has everything you could need and the neighbors were very welcoming and helpful. Chris is a great host. Took the time to explain some of the nuances of the house. We’ll definitely be back again.

    Loved the architecture of this space. Loved that there was a place for everyone. The house is COOL! The screened in porch was great. Beds were comfortable. The main area is GREAT for family gathering! Landlord was very attentive to any very minor issues that came up. This is a well loved and looked after home. It was wonderful that our dog and cat could come along and there was room for them. The wood floor allowed for easy sweeping. THE BEACH IS AMAZINGGG after a short forested walk. There is just one thing to be aware of. There really isn't any easy yard access or comfortable outdoor eating area. If you walk around to the back of the house, there is a fire pit in the grass. The mosquitos were harsh in this forested area. You know that though from the word...forest. No place for a dog to hang out. Dog hours are restricted at the beach before 11, after 6. Easy enough to work around but they are serious about it. I imagine this place would be amazing off-season too. Just a very relaxing visit in an easily accessible location. Best parts are the house itself and the BEACH!
