After your sunny day at the fine sandy Lake Michigan shores come back to the cottage to relax with your favorite beverage. Sit out on the patio looking out to the expansive courtyard. At night, stroll back to the beach taking in its wonderful tree lined path to watch the stunning sunset and marvel at the starry night sky.

Besides Berrien Beach, the Warren Dunes is about 15 minutes away. In May, check out the Tulip Festival in Holland. Spend a day kayaking or fishing in the beautiful Galien River. Come in the Fall for the bountiful pumpkins. Year round there are art festivals, wine festivals, fall color changes and winter skiing. This area is not just a summer place!

Please enjoy our delightful quaint studio cottage. We look forward to returning guests and can offer preferences.

Perfect for Me...

This was the perfect place for me to "set up camp" while attending a retreat in the area. Close to beach for walks, close to Whistle Stop Grocery for snacks (yum), and close to Red Arrow Hwy / I94 for getting around. Thanks!!

Cozy and clean stay for 2

We spent a Notre Dame football weekend at the Moonlight beach bungalow. Too cold to enjoy the lake but the surrounding area was very nice and quiet. The bungalow was very clean and nicely furnished, perfect accommodations for our weekend getaway. Thanks for a nice stay.

LOVED this bungalow, perfect location and has everything you need to enjoy your getaway!

What a great property, comfy bed, and seating area. The kitchen is well stocked for a smaller place ( Keurig, coffee maker AND air fryer),great rainshower as well. We were here for a wedding, a little cool for the beach but we walked there anyway. The property was lovely- firepit, landscaping, even tho close to Red Arrow highway, we never noticed, very quiet. Would definitely return in the summer months.

Relaxing place to stay

Convenient to restaurant, grocery and beach. Walked a block or so to public beach access. Some attractions in the area were closed since the season was over. Still we visited a nice winery, book store and several restaurants and coffee shops.

New Buffalo 5K

We truly enjoyed staying at the Moonlight Beach Bungalow #2. It was clean and well decorated/supplied. Also, close to a very nice restaurant (Whistle Stop) that offered gluten free items! I would stay again. The only issue was the sleeping arrangements - we had four people and it was very tight.

Great Place

We loved the location - walkable to the beach, close to a couple of restaurants and easy access to New Buffalo. The place was a perfect size for my wife and me. Loved the layout and decor. One question: what is up with the private and public beaches? How anyone owns a beach facing Lake Michigan is a travesty. Apart from that irritant, we loved our stay!

Perfect (almost) location

We had stayed at the inn up the road 2 years prior and loved the location near the beach, the whistle stop grocery and nearby restaurant. (All walkable) Daves place was perfect for us because it’s on that same street, in a cute shared courtyard of homes. We were there in September so we seemed to have the whole courtyard to ourselves. Kitchen and bath are plenty large, and sitting area outside was nice for wine and a game of Yahtzee! Only drawback is proximity to the train tracks and thus the 3am freight train. 🚂. Dave was extremely accommodating and easy to reach.

Great stay!

We enjoyed our stay here. Everything was as expected, clean and comfortable. There was a bit of noise from the neighboring restaurant when sitting outside but not enough to deter us from staying again. Convenient to everything and very short walk to beach. Great communication.

Fun First Trip to Lake Michigan

We very much enjoyed our stay. We were pleased and enjoyed several of the amenities provided. I really liked having beach chairs and an umbrella to use, so we didn't have to pack that ourselves. The bed was comfortable. Dave was a great communicator before and during our stay. If we come back to the area, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The beach access really is just a short walk away. Be aware that there is a railroad track nearby if you are sensitive to the occasional noise of a train. Overall, a great VRBO. You can tell Dave takes pride in his bungalow and wants to take care of his guests.

A Nice Retreat

Our second time staying at this location—we love the location to the public beach, Whistle stop for a quick breakfast and proximity to both New Buffalo and Three Oaks downtowns. We went from staying with a wobbly 1 year old last year to a very active 2 year old this year and the space was still great for our family.
