Classic home w/ private hot tub, sauna, & outdoor fireplace - 350 feet to beach

I rented this place for a family get together and I was somewhat disappointed when we arrived to the property. Pros: tons of space, outdoor patio, hot tub and sauna. Cons: upon arrivals the place smelled like mildew, indoor patio furniture was dirty with bird droppings, golf cart wasn’t working, indoor kitchen furniture was very worn, empty glass bottles were left in the laundry room. I spent the first half of my day airing out the property,cleaning the house and sweeping the patio area. More importantly, i contacted the property manager and it took them 2 days to send someone out to fix all of concerns. Customer service is poor which made what should have been a relaxing weekend not very pleasant

proximity to the beach

Our stay at the Eagle's Nest managed by Vacasa had both highs and lows. On the positive side, the house was clean and comfortable, although the furniture was a little worn down in the living room. Additionally, the beach was a very short walk, and easily accessible for all members of our family. The golf cart was very helpful to have as well, making getting all of our things to and from the beach easy. The kitchen was not supplied well with basic items needed for daily use. This includes measuring cups, food storage, and a coffee pot. Overall the kitchen is very nice. Finally, and most significantly, the first floor (main) bathroom toilet never worked throughout our entire stay. It would not flush. In a house with 9 adults and 2 children, a functioning first floor toilet is essential. We contacted Vacasa right away, but they were not able to get someone out to look at it for 2 days. Even then, the issue was not resolved due to an unforeseen plumbing issue. We started to notice an odor, and when help arrived again (after 2 more days), we were told not to flush the toilets and that someone would be out first thing the next morning to fix the pipes. After a night of 11 people using toilets that could not be flushed, help finally arrived around noon. At this point we were told that the septic tank was full and needed to be emptied. Unfortunately, we had to leave our vacation early as this was not a sustainable situation.I thought Vacasa did their best considering all.

Warning: do not stay at a property managed by Vacasa. Our reservation was cancelled on us just minutes prior to check-in time. We had already traveled 5 hours up to the house and purchased 300 in groceries and were offered no alternative arrangements by Vacasa, rendering us essentially homeless with no options of where to stay the night, and they wouldn't even fully refund us for the lost groceries or offer to fully cover an alternative booking (if there were one available). They offered to cover a small part of the overage for booking another place, if we could find one (they did not offer to find one for us, since none were available in their network), but again, this was no help to us, as there were no places available to check in at 4 pm on the day-of, so we not only ended up with nowhere to stay, but were out additional money on top of that. This is by far the worst customer service we've ever experienced. The reason for the cancellation was because of a septic issue, but it's clear given the photos attached that this house was not going to be ready for check in on the day of arrival. We should have been warned of the septic issue in advance and given additional time to make alternative arrangements. Overall a terrible experience, and we will not be booking a Vacasa-managed property ever again, given how badly we were treated. Steer clear.

It was over 90 degree for the first two days. We got a chance to enjoy the amenities of the Eagle Nest. Indoor ping pong and billiards were fun. Plenty of space for card and other games, chatting; and it was a short walk to the beach for sunset viewing, and beach activities.

This property is perfect for a family vacation. Everything from the beach to shopping is with in minutes. The beach is just a 5 minute walk. The house and property is beautiful, it is nestled back in the woods for a perfect nature get away yet close to the beach. Outside is a sauna, hot tub, and fireplace. This home is great to sit back and relax or go in to town. Needless to say we will be booking again!

We absolutely loved the setting of this home - a true woodsy, quiet peaceful retreat and still just a short walk to the beach! It has an awesome outdoor space and screened in porch for morning coffee. The home was spacious, nicely appointed and perfect for a large family with 3 vehicles!

We loved the homes beauty and amazing amenities. The golf cart rides to the beach only 300 yards away were amazing. Great trip and New Buffalo did not disappoint!

The grounds were beautiful with plenty of places to walk with equally beautiful views. Close to shopping.

Our stay at Eagles Nest included spaces, fun, and activities for all ages. The home had lots of space, the kids enjoyed the upstairs game room where they played a lot of pool and the screened in back porch that we had set up for arts and crafts. The rental was nice and clean, close to the beach… Although we never did find the shortcut to the beach that is mentioned. There was lots of shady area for the kids to play outside. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub and of course the beautiful view from the hot tub! We spent a day at the New Buffalo public beach, and another day near Beverly Shores at the dunes, Kamil beach. We went bowling on a rainy day and heard no complaints, only cheering. Our final day there five of the grandkids (ages 6-13) went with two adults to Lake Arvesta Farms to have their own try at Wipeout, played all day and returned exhausted. Love the area! Some things I would like to add that made things even better would include, there was a great grill that was in wonderful condition that we used quite often. In the laundry room there were cabinets full of beach towels to be used and that made life a lot easier for us. We never did make it out for any bike rides but there were 4 adult bikes available and two paddle boards available.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. Walked to the beach everyday, enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. Even on the rainy days the screened in porch was amazing to hang out.
