Second time at this house and won’t be the last!
This house is perfect for a little get away. I’ve gone once for a girls weekend and now for a two family get away and both times it’s been exactly what was needed. Clean, well stocked, great location.

Great stay!
Everything was great. Place is very clean and well organized. Good location and walking distance to restaurants, a bit of a walk to the beach if you have a lot of gear but also a quick ride in car. Loved that backyard with fire pit! Would stay again.

Great space close to lots of fun!
We enjoyed our time in New Buffalo. The house is very close to things (2 min to grocery, less than 5 min to beach and restaurants) but it's not really walkable due to roads/traffic. The house is very nice, comfortable furnishings, kitchen well stocked. We enjoyed the back patio with comfy furniture every night.

There were five adult women & the two bathrooms were very small! It would be really helpful to have mirrors with sufficient lighting to put makeup on - etc. in all the bedrooms!

Perfect Location
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property description was accurate. The property was very clean and comfortable. We were able to take advantage of everying in downtown New Buffalo. The lack of cable t.v. was a bit disaapointing. The 10a check out and the 4p check in was frustrating as standard times of 11a check out and 3p check in are the standard.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice house and great location! Was walkable to all downtown spots we went to. We enjoyed the hot tub and backyard space for hanging out. Only suggestion would be more bedding. Got an email warning you may want to bring blankets, but with some of us flying we were unable. Beds had the equivalent of 2 sheets on top, so more linen would be nice.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great 4 days. The area has wonderful eateries. The house was clean, with the exception of the hot tub. My one concern was the bedding. The middle room bed is extremely uncomfortable. The sheets were uncomfortable on all the beds. The blankets were not really for beds-they were more like light weight throws.

Fabulous Girl’s Weekend
We were a group of 3 50-something women gathering to relax, socialize, and explore New Buffalo. The house was super clean and just as pictured! I wish we would have had more time and better weather to enjoy the beautiful back patio and gas fire pit. The hot tub was clean and the perfect temperature. Our only complaint is that there were no blankets or comforters on the beds. There was a sheet and a very thin sheet-like bed cover. It was difficult to get cozy and we used the beach towels for blankets. I don’t know if this is due to COVID precautions, but we would have brought our own blankets if we were aware. I did text the management company to ask for blankets, but never got a reply. Also, there was no blow dryer that we could find. That would be nice to have too. Overall, it was a great house and we would definitely return!! Thank you!

Regretful
This was by far the most expensive short term rental we have ever stayed at so my expectations were pretty high. When we turned down the street upon our arrival, I was so disappointed...the neighborhood is sketchy. We didn't have any issues with the neighbors, but on appearances we were not sure what to expect. We pulled in the driveway and I noticed simple touches that could easily have been improved on, like the outdoor light on the garage. For the price we were paying, it could have easily been in better shape. We go inside and immediately question the cleaning process as we see dirty fingerprints on the kitchen cabinets and all kinds of hair in the bathrooms that weren't ours. Read this listing carefully...there are absolutely no amenities. Not even a hair dryer or an ironing board. The worst part of it all was we only stayed 3 of our 7 nights because I tested positive for covid on day 3. We knew going in that this booking was nonrefundable so it was a shot in the dark when we asked if they (AquaVacationRentals) could find it in their hearts to grant us a partial refund. We are still waiting to hear back a week later. We understand it is a business but make no mistake that they are all money and no heart. Our hard-earned money went wasted on this one. The positives (that were outweighed by the negatives) were the proximity to downtown/ the beach as well as the promptness in communication with the company/Tonya. But I think it goes without saying that we will never do business with AquaVacationRentals ever again.
