Welcome to Nothin Dune, a luxury lakefront home that's located directly on Lake Michigan in New Buffalo’s exclusive Riviera community, where you'll be treated to fantastic views of lake sunsets from the sunroom, the gazebo, the back porch, the master bedroom, and just about anywhere in the main living area. The expansive yard and the prime lakefront location encourage you and your loved ones to spend time outdoors, especially on the private association beach down the stairs. You'll even be a short bike ride from downtown New Buffalo - close enough to enjoy the shops and restaurants while still having the feel of a summer getaway.
Some of Nothin Dune's great features include:
- A 500-square-foot master suite with amazing lake views, a reading area, a bar and refrigerator, and a master bathroom with a large glass-and-stone rain shower

- A large, grassy, and professionally landscaped backyard
- A built-in outdoor grilling and prep station
- A gas-operated firepit overlooking the lake, with no wood required
- Hardwood floors and trim, modern and bright bathrooms, and comfortable contemporary furniture in every room
The home’s open floor plan features a large kitchen, a main living area with a wood-burning fireplace, and windows and sliding doors that are designed to let in the natural light. All five well-appointed bedrooms are on the main level, including a brand new master suite with a king-size bed that overlooks Lake Michigan, a second master suite with a king-size bed, and three additional bedrooms with a queen-size bed apiece (including a lakefront bedroom with a convertible Murphy bed). There are three full bathrooms, as well as a fantastic sunroom off the kitchen with a dining table that seats up to 10.
The rustic, fishing-themed finished basement provides ample space for you and your guests to relax and watch movies on the new 58-inch HDTV with surround sound (features include HD cable, a Blu-ray/DVD player, PS3, and Apple TV). There is also a poker table for your entertainment. Nothin Dune boasts high-speed WiFi throughout and a state-of-the-art Sonos sound system, which allows you to play your favorite Pandora station anywhere in the house. The outdoor patio has a gas grill and a long dining table with enough chairs for the entire family, while the yard provides a great place to sit, cook, spend time with friends, or sip a cocktail at sunset. It’s big enough to play a game a whiffle ball or set up a badminton court.
The finished gazebo overlooking the beach is a lovely place to catch a snooze in one of the two day beds or read a book as you enjoy the lake breeze. A built-in hot tub and gas firepit are are just in front of the gazebo, offering beautiful views of the lake year-round. From there, a sturdy, well-maintained staircase leads you down to the private association beach, where you and your guests can swim, read, and enjoy Pure Michigan!

Lake views and backyard fire Pit and hot tub make for a relaxing stay. Great house as well.
Enjoyed our stay, house was as described and had great views.
We had a wonderful weekend at this home but we all agreed that things were a bit mis-represented. Mainly that this is a 5 bedroom home. The 5th “bedroom” is actually part of the eating area and “sunroom” with a Murphy Bed pulling out of the wall and a pullout wall. The home wasn’t as luxurious as the it appears in the pictures. It was clean and comfortable for our group but we really thought this was going to be something special. The view and community was definitely special but the home was just good - not great.
I was diagnosed in March with Lung Cancer. My family and some friends wanted to get away and just spend 4 or 5 days enjoying each other and not have to worry about anything stopping that. Staying at Nothing Dune really made that happen. It is a beautiful home that has absolutely anything you may need to enjoy a week or month away. The home has such beautiful views no matter what room you are in. The master suites is basically a private section of the home that you cannot only sleep in but also entertain in it with the size it is. Vacasa was immediate on any questions or follow ups. They also come with a 5 star rating. I started out talking about my cancer at the beginning of this comment but I can tell you the whole time we stayed in the home not once did cancer become a conversation or topic because of the enjoyable time we had when we were there. So that I will always be appreciative of how nice the home is taking all cares away.
Quality location that felt like home. Beautiful views of Lake Michigan from the lawn and great beach access. We’d stay again!
Cozy yet spacious home with spectacular view. Love the open floor plan and large dining table for family dinners. Kitchen is well equipped but pantry space is limited. The large grass area in the yard is awesome. Hope to visit again in cooler weather to use the fire pit.
Set on a beautiful bluff with a lawn overlooking the beach. Perfect setting to watch the sunset each night and close to town.
We loved New Buffalo and the location of the property on the water. however it seems dirtier once we did a further inspection. The living room furniture was particularly dirty, not a good idea to have a white sofa in the main room. Then we found one of the mattresses to be very dirty with what looked like blood stains on it. I took a picture. over all we were disappointed in the house. The outside furniture was a mess as well.
Couch was dirty and door closer at gazebo would not work. Other than that very nice home and location.
The lake views from this home are splendid. The street is very quiet but still a quick trip to get into town. The home is in perfect shape and would hold a large group. We did find a Keurig coffeemaker upon arrival - different from the drip pot shown in the photos - so pack some of both for your breakfast.
A lovely, spacious home for a restful week along the shore of Lake Michigan. Four bedrooms with a spacious master bedroom, three bathrooms, an open and comfortable kitchen, study, and living room, and a recreation room and laundry facilities in the basement. A large gas grill and outdoor eating area. Lots of green space in the backyard overlooking the lake, with bird feeders that attack many birds. Enough space for regulation croquette or badminton. A hot tub and a fire pit also in the back yard, along with a small beach house. Easy access to the beach this year. Only challenge is the beach is shared with RHOA members which led to one crowded day. Will want to return next year!
Incredible view and well organized instructions from check in to check out.
You just can't beat the location of being on the beach! Plenty of room for our large extended family, the layout was perfect. The kitchen island & peninsula were more than adequate! There were many bird feeders and the kids really enjoyed seeing that right outside the windows. Close drive to town. Everyone enjoyed the home and especially the sunsets!
Great cleaning crew for the inside of this house, it was immaculate. Kitchen is nicely laid out and well stocked with everything we needed for cooking and cleaning up. Only thing we missed having was a serving tray. Firepit area is wonderful with very nice furniture. Sonos sound system in the house was enjoyed by all. Having direct beach access was amazing. Absolutely stunning views and sunsets. Nice lawn for games. Gas grill was clean and worked great, didn’t have to worry about propane running out. --- Another review mentioned gardens need attention. Yes, they do, especially when you see the neighboring properties. Broken furniture and an old hot tub cover on the deck didn’t help. --- Would have rated property 5 stars, but we had an issue with the hot tub. We chose this lakefront property over others because it had a hot tub, but when we opened the cover on the day of our arrival it was filthy. After 3 phone calls over two days and additional online messages to Vacasa and VRBO, it was cleaned on the 2nd afternoon of our 4 days there. The availability calendar for the house showed it was not rented for several days prior to our arrival so it was unfortunate that it was not cleaned beforehand, especially since the rental agreement included an extra hot tub fee.
A great house for family to gather over Mother’s Day weekend. Comfortable beds, and everything you could ask for in terms of home amenities. We will be back!
