The house was clean and spacious and more! The main living area has great windows looking out the back of the house to a meadow, creating such a private and peaceful feeling. We didn't cook, but the kitchen was also spacious. Finally, I was not familiar with that part of Michigan, but this house is in a great location: private neighborhood with access to a stunning beach on the lake.
What a wonderful and perfect house to gather with all my dearest girlfriends, hunker down with food and drink for a couple days! relaxing, epic, fun and joyfully quiet. A perfect getaway!
The house was fantastic for our two families (five kids). The two living rooms were great for hanging out, the kitchen was excellent for cooking, and the private beach access was perfect. The quiet neighborhood and the proximity to New Buffalo's amenities make this house the ideal place to stay.
My sisters and I converged at the beach neighborhood house to celebrate my 70th birthday. We all enjoyed the house, especially the the back deck: an unobstructed view of the Galien River flowing through its wetlands. The beds were all comfortable and the dining table had room for everybody. The area is scenic and cultural, in a Midwestern way. We all recommend it.
The home was very nice. It was clean and the management company was responsive for the most part. There are not any lake views, but it borders the park preserve, which is a nice view. The private beach is great and a very short walk. The screened in porch was the perfect place to relax. The couches were very comfortable. The large table was perfect for our family. The chairs are not comfortable though. The house had everything we could need, including beach items. They require minimal clean up when leaving.The only complaints are that the doors were very squeaky and loud every time you opened or closed them. The locks for the doors to the decks were not easy to work and in some cases didn’t function properly. The house has a modern, open design, so you can hear everything everywhere in the house.I would stay here again.
We had a group of 9 women staying at the house for a long weekend and it couldn't have been more perfect. There is so much space and the listing photos are an EXACT representation of what it looks like. The location/neighborhood were probably my favorite part... A very short walk to the beach, a short drive to town, and a quiet/safe neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again!

Some difficulty with the lock on the front door. Didn’t seem to be properly aligned so would take several tries to get it locked. Outside of house could use a power wash but house is spacious and has ton of kitchen supplies. Such a quick watch to a lovely private beach!
The house is in a great location. Very easy to get to Disney parks. Communication with Barry was great. He always replied quickly. The home has just about everything from toilet paper to tupperware and plenty of towels (There is no cleaning spray to wipe counters and no laundry soap). The pool is great on rest days. My complaint is the home needs some tlc. The beds are uncomfortable and the twin beds are not very sturdy. There are broken dressers and little things here and there that need attention. The water pressure is not good and made showering a chore. Be careful when going out the front door when the sprinkler is on. One of the pipes has a hole and sprays towards the front door. We had to leave out the pool patio doors one morning. The cleaning crew needs to do a more thorough job. Its surface clean but lots of dust and dirt that shouldn't be there including mold in the shower. Overall the house is a good rental. I would stay again if the issues were addressed. Thank you Barry and Casey.
