The property is very clean, very comfortable with everything you need for an enjoyable vacation. Beth ( the owner) has the house stocked with everything u need. The house is on a quiet street just a few minutes from 2 entrances to the beach. The house is less than a 5 min drive to restaurants, a grocery store, shopping and Starbucks’ everything for an enjoyable stay!

Adorable little bungalow that allowed us access to enjoy many outside activities -- hiking, the beach, hitting the art shops and then relaxing by the fire or in the hot tub.Some food suggestions? Breakfast at Jackie's or Dave's Deli and you cannot go wrong. Dinner at the Terrace Room or Brewsters is excellent. I would pass on The Stray Dog. Average burgers and the view isn't that great after all.We'll likely be back sometime.

This is the perfect cottage for a family of four beach getaway. It was spotlessly clean and well-stocked with all of the necessities plus extras - beach chairs and umbrella, children's toys, etc. The nearby, private neighborhood beach was a pleasant walk away. It was peaceful, clean, and beautiful. Many thanks to Beth for providing this cozy nook for our family retreat.

The bungalow was our favorite rental yet! From beach toys to puzzles and games to kids silverware and cups, Beth has thought of everything. The short walk to the private beach was lovely, and the location to everything in New Buffalo and Union Pier was so convenient. We’re already planning to book again next year.

Perfect Getaway

We really enjoyed staying at the property. The inside was updated nicely. The hot tub was perfect and the beds were very comfortable. The host provided plenty of towels and easy check in. The beach was a short walk. It was a great place to spend a long weekend.

My wife and I and our three young children stayed at the cottage for 5 days. It is a charming place, in an idyllic setting. The house had everything you would need, and my kids loved the bunk bed room, along with the toys and games at the house. The area is awesome, secluded and private, but close enough for restaurants/bars/shops/attractions. The beach is a 5 minute walk away and was perfect.Beth was great to deal with, accomodated an early check-in, and provided local recommendations.100% would stay here again.

Could not ask for a better place to stay at. The house was filled with everything we needed. Access to the private beach was a really nice perk. Beth is one of the most proactive and thoughtful hosts we have ever encountered using VRBO. She went above and beyond to take care of every inquiry we had for the entire family! We hope to stay here again next summer since it felt so much like home while we were there.

The getaway we needed!

The place was exactly as advertised and Beth was a responsive and wonderful host. The beach access (10/10 beautiful spot), hot tub, and fire pit (though a little buggy) were highlights. The beds are very comfortable and everything felt clean. The kitchen is very well stocked with things to make meals at home. It was really wonderful and we'll be back! Thank you!

Relaxing getaway

We wanted to get away and relax in comfort. This was the perfect little spot. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The front porch was a great place to bird watch in the mornings with a cup of coffee. Great location close to great restaurants and more. Beth was a great host.

Amazing stay!

Took a girls trip here with my 2 best friends and the property is exactly like the photos! Very clean and updated inside with super comfy beds and a big comfy couch. The host was wonderful and very easy to get ahold of. The home is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for a beach day which was a short walk down the road. Would definitely stay here again and reccomend to others!
