10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This cute, clean cottage was perfect for two couples and a dog. The Jack and Jill bathroom set up was great and the beds were comfy. We made great use of the kitchen and the outdoor grill. The real prize was the private beach in walking distance and we really appreciated using the backpack beach chairs and towels. There were two working window unit AC’s that kept the cottage comfortably cool. We will be back!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, location
My family overall had a nice time over our weekend here. Mostly due to the nature and close proximity to the beach, beautiful neighborhood in which to walk, and closeness to New Buffalo and all other attractions. The accommodations themselves were adequate. We really loved the beds as they were clearly chosen by one with taste and the knowledge of the finer things. Things to note, we had to reach out to get the access code. No email was sent. WiFi was a nightmare as anyone you called to help was not of English speaking which is ok but proved difficult with the hard passwords. The TV remote did not work so no TV. The AC units did not work and are only in the first bedroom with the map in it. The whole house is not with AC. The should be noted as we all were very HOT. Lots of spiders in that room and bathroom but we cleaned it up. All In all it was still a great weekend. We just could’ve used an actual in person host and some more disclosure on the unit itself.
