About this property

NEW BUFFALO HOME CLOSE TO BEACH & DOWNTOWN!

6 Bedrooms, 4 Baths, Sleeps 14

Three Night Summer Minimum!

Welcome to Sunset Villa! Recently updated, this sprawling six-bedroom, four-bathroom home is just two blocks away from the waterside fine dining of the Bentwood Restaurant. From our home you'll enjoy the picturesque six-block, harbor-side walk to downtown New Buffalo. Whether you are planning an all-adult trip or a family getaway this home is the perfect complement to any of your planned activities. Applaud the sunset like a local from one of our two well-appointed decks or curl up next to one of three fireplaces with a glass of red wine from a favorite local winery. The master suite offers it own deck with partial lake views. Close to everything Harbor Country has to offer. All Guests required to sign our Guest Occupancy Agreement as well.

**Sunset Shores beaches have been impacted by storms and a couple years of harsh winters. We hope they will be back to normal by the time of your rental. This has always been a smaller beach but we are hoping more of the beach to come back this Spring and early Summer! New Buffalo public beach is half a mile away as well.

**Minimum age of 25 years old to rent.

**Maximum 8 car parking.

Nice and close to stray dog

30th birthday trip

I rented this house for a 30th birthday trip, it was perfect. Walking distance from downtown, every couple got their own room and everything functioned really well. We loved the back deck and if it was nicer out, the yard and beach would have been great too. The house is very well stocked (anything you might need in the kitchen for cooking) and very clean. Would stay again and recommend for groups of friends or families!

Relaxing Getaway

The property was as nice as advertised. The association beach was open and delightful located about a 5 min walk from the property. The decks on the 2nd and 3rd floors were safe and well appointed. The galley kitchen was smallish but well appointed. Plenty of room for entertaining with comfortable seating and large spaces.

Dudes' weekend

Rented the Eagle's nest for an annual meet-up with some old buddies from high school. This place was perfect. Walking distance to town, outdoor space for lawn games, and enough rooms so that everyone had personal sleeping quarters. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the showers were very temperamental. They were either really hot or cold. It was very hard to get it to a good temperature. Otherwise it was perfect!

Lovely home in great location.

We enjoyed our time in New Buffalo. Overall, the family loved the house. There were a couple of things that might be mentioned though. The temperatures throughout the house varied - the lowest floor with three bedrooms was really chilly, and it got noticeably warmer as you went higher. The outside faucets did not work, which meant we couldn't wash the sand off our feet before entering.

We had a very nice stay and really enjoyed the multiple living spaces and the two decks! Our only note for improvement is that the house could use some updating/repairs. The main level bathroom vanity is very worn and needs refinishing or replacing. It also only had one working faucet with cold water. One bedroom on the ground floor needs some significant wall repairs.

Great family vacation place

We’ll definitely be back! The house on Eagle St. was lovely: spacious, quiet, comfortable and inviting. We thought the neighborhood would be closer to the shops, restaurants and beach, but we adjusted and just got our steps in and/or drove. Plenty of bedrooms so everyone had a private space to get away from the crowd. Made all the difference. The beds were very comfortable. The two outdoor decks were great. The table on the main deck was incredible. Huge with 8 comfortable chairs and an umbrella.

Great location

House was in a wonderful location. Lower level was very musty smelling but main floor and upper level was nice. We had an issue with wasps coming up through the floorboards of the patio and had one child get stung. But when we called they were right on it and tried to get it taken care of. Overall we all had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

There's plenty of room to spread out, except in the kitchen, where 3 was a crowd. I wonder if there's a way to adjust the airflow. To make the third floor comfortable for sleeping, the 3 basement bedrooms were cold. Also, the deck over the garage really sold me on this place, but there was no umbrella to shade us from the sun so we were only able to use it at night.

Overall Delightful

Gathered the family for Christmas and this property ticked many of our boxes. We had a small housekeeping snafu when we first arrived, but I contacted the property management and they fixed it immediately. Especially remarkable given that it was Christmas Day! We were bummed that there was no pinball machine, despite the photos and description. Otherwise everything was as we expected. We walked to the lake each day and it was beautiful, even in winter! A really lovely area.

Amazing New Year weekend getaway

The house was great. More than enough space for the 9 adults 5 children that were there. Jason was available anytime we had a question or concern even during the booking process. The only 2 things that I would suggest would be upgrading the TV's and changing the cleaning service that you use. The cleaners seem to only clean surface areas that can be seen at quick glance. Other than that we are strongly considering booking for next New Year as well and possibly for an employee retreat during the summer months. Thanks for a much needed mini vacation......
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Sept 2023
I feel bad about cleaning (which I am just hearing about now). We would have immediately sent a cleaner in to remedy any problem they had. This home had not been rented in a while being offseason so some things may have accumulated dust that would not normally have a chance to. We pride ourselves on our properties cleanliness and my ability to be in contact with renters anytime.

The property was very well maintained and pictures were true to life. The neighborhood surrounding the property was very peaceful and inviting. We were walking distance from the Marina and from restaurants and downtown area. One pleasant surprise was an EV charger a few blocks away! The hosts were quick to respond to texts and answer any issues. All in all, we had a great experience and would likely return in the future.
