This house was awesome and suited our needs perfectly! We were a two-family group: 4 adults and 7 kids (ages 9 months - 9 yrs.). There were plenty of beds for everyone. The kids had a blast in the kids' room - there were tons of toys and books, and a TV. The downstairs was very spacious for everyone to run, play, crawl, etc. A baby gate would have been nice at the end of the stairs for the littlest ones to stay off them and some plug-in coverings in outlets, but those were very minor issues. We loved the screened porch and hot tub! Sitting on the porch listening to nature without being eaten by bugs was relaxing.
There were lots of silverware, kitchen utensils, dishes, pots and pans, rags and dish towels. An instant pot, crock pot, rice cooker, blender, electric mixer, Keurig, toaster and waffle maker were available to use.
There were plenty of towels and linens and extra blankets. We used the extra beach bags available as we went to the beach each day. The location of the house to the beach was awesome - very short drive. We loved being able to stay in the woods and enjoy the scenery there and also be able to go to the beach and enjoy a different atmosphere...only in Michigan :)
Barney's grocery was mostly well-stocked with what we needed for our stay and was only a couple minutes away. Dollar General is also very close to the house. Due to coronavirus restrictions we didn't eat out but we did order carryout from The Stray Dog, Villa Nova Pizzeria, and Casey's. They were all excellent. A couple of us have been to New Buffalo before and The Stray Dog is usually our favorite place to go eat at! Highly recommend all the restaurants listed! Nancy's for ice cream is also a must!! Yum!
Would recommend this awesome listing to anyone! We had questions prior to our trip about possible cancellations due to coronavirus restrictions and the staff at Waya Rentals answered them all efficiently and quickly and put our minds at ease. We had a great vacation and hope to come back next year!
