Right down the road from downtown. Only drawback is if you have a larger vehicle the parking can be a bit tricky. Would definitely stay again. ##### Timothy N. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas N. 26 Jul 2022 #### The perfect family beach house The private beach here is as good as it gets in SW Michigan! The house is very comfortable for a large family, and the back garden overlooking the beach is ideal with its large elm trees, views to the horizon, and two large iron tables for group dining. 5\* all the way! ##### Thomas N. ### 8/10 Good #### Corrine H. 30 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication View and location were wonderful. It was easy to get to the beach and to New Buffalo. The house is older, but worked for us. Our biggest complaint was the lack of window screens in house. It was beautiful at night, but fighting the mosquitos made it difficult to sleep. ##### Corrine H.

The view out the back windows was fantastic spanning a panoramic view of Lake Michigan. The kids loved the spacious back yard spending lots of time on the tire swing.
