Nice house, great location
Very nice place to stay. Close enough to walk to most places. Would suggest to putting a mirror in each bedroom--hard to get ready having to share mirror in bathroom or the one in the living room. Needed blankets and owner responded immediately and brought them to us ASAP!! Hot tub was great!

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.

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!

Great place and location
We had such a nice stay here! Loved the hot tub and fire pit in the back yard. Overall this place was super cute and comfy. My only recommendation is to get actual blankets for the beds as what they had on their was sheet thin. Not that we came their to watch tv but the tv interface and remote need to be upgraded. I would stay there again for sure.

Girls' Weekend in New Buffalo
My sisters and I booked this house for a birthday celebration for my mom. We were drawn in by the convenient location (walking distance to Beer Church, Stray Dog, massage, shops), and the hot tub. Everything was clean and the beds were so comfortable my sister now wants to buy the mattress. Slight hiccup with communication on check-in but the vacation rental group was very responsive when I called and straightened it out.

Everything was clean and lovely. Walk to beach was a bit longer than anticipated- so we ended up renting ebikes which was fabulous! Right near the home new Buffalo pedago bikes! Home thermometer was on program so needed to reset often but not a huge inconvenience. Otherwise beds comfy and kitchen was stocked with necessities

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.

We had a great stay. It was very clean and easy to walk too. We had internet and A/C issues and the management company was very easy to contact and helped us work through it. Loved the fire pit and hot tub. We would stay again.
