Situated on a double lot surrounded by trees, this cozy New Buffalo house offers a shaded oasis perfect for family getaways or groups of friends, no matter the time of year. In the summer, guests can take a leisurely stroll or ride in the provided golf cart and wagon (children may not drive it, nor can it be taken to the golf course- Available Memorial Day - Labor Day) to the private beach for a day of sun and sand. For those who want to venture further, numerous scenic parks, golf courses, museums, tourist attractions, and local restaurants are all only a short drive away.

Inside, you’ll find a welcoming open-concept living space and an abundance of natural light. Lounge blissfully as you watch your favorite shows or head over to the well-equipped kitchen to make anything from a cup of coffee to hearty meals. During the warmer months, sear your meals to perfection on the gas grill as the kids frolic in the yard. Indulge together inside or eat on the screened-in porch to feel the warm breeze as you dine. As the evening’s activities wind down, retreat to any of the comfortable beds for a good night’s rest. Thoughtful touches like closet organizers, books to peruse, and a guitar for the musically inclined in the primary bedroom truly make this a home away from home.

    Everything was wonderful about this property and trip! One of the only properties I’ve ever gone to that looked better in real life than in the pictures.

    We loved the house and our time at the beach. But it was also centrally located to a lot of other places! We took day trips to Chicago, Notre Dame and Kalamazoo!

    This was our second stay here and we just love it!! Quiet, peaceful and a quick walk to the beach!! 8 mins to downtown New Buffalo, 10 mins to Michigan City. The beds are comfy, the home is light and airy and the kitchen has everything you could need! The screened in porch is my fave spot by far!! We will be staying again!

    From check in to check out, every detail was taken care of. The property looks much better in person than even in the pictures. Everything was clean and new and up-to-date. Many thoughtful details were included, like the beach towels and the chairs and cooler for the beach. We actually didn’t use the golf cart, but it was great having it there. I highly recommend this. We had a wonderful time!

    The hosts had EVERYTHING we needed! Trusting us with the golf cart put our approval over the top. Made going to beach so much fun. I would love to come back and stay again!

    We loved our stay here! The house is AMAZING! So clean and nice. Amazing kitchen and cooking supplies. Loved the screened in porch. Located 10 minutes from New Buffalo- we loved the public beach there. There is a beach called “Sunset beach” that’s about a 10 minute walk (you can’t park your golf cart there) or a 5 minute golf cart ride called Grand Beach (golf cart parking only) both beaches are private but very rocky and full of sticks etc… would still highly recommend this stay!

    The home was perfect for us! High-end appliances throughout, clean and loaded with items for your trip to the beach! The screened in porch was a highlight! The beds were comfortable, space was not an issue and did I mention the 5-minute walk to the beach?? We will definitely stay here again!
