Full of ease, light, and mid-century style, this home in New Buffalo offers its very own heated swimming pool and a wonderful location four blocks from the beach. This stylish space features an open main-level living area with hardwood floors, a stone fireplace, and a thoughtfully updated kitchen. Step outside to take a dip in the sparkling pool, relax in the private backyard with an expansive patio overlooking a wooded ravine, or light the grill on the large deck to barbecue while keeping one eye on the pool. Guests can enjoy automatic heat up to 84 degrees - additional heating can be purchased before your stay.

When you're not enjoying the great outdoors, you can play Ping-Pong and darts in the garage, or take the provided golf cart for a spin around the neighborhood. After a night spent soaking in the hot tub cozied up around the outdoor firepit or watching movies on one of the two cable-equipped TVs, you'll have your choice of five bedrooms. On the main floor are one king bedroom with an en suite bathroom, one queen bedroom, a third bedroom with a pair of twin beds, and another full bathroom. Downstairs, you'll find two more bedrooms - one with a queen bed, one with two twin bunk beds - and one more full bathroom. All three bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated.

Great place for a family vacay!!!
Great house for a family vacation with kids! Short drive to town and the beach. While the house was very clean, the outside could use a better cleaning. Lots of spider webs and tree debris covered the outside furniture. Also, if you bring a pet, just be careful because they can get under the back fence towards the trees. The pool was perfect! It provided hours of fun for the whole family.

House by the beach
I stayed here with a group of adults for a long weekend. The house was as advertised and was in a great location. Unfortunately, we did have a few issues with the property. Firstly, the internet was very spotty to the point of being functionally unusable. We took all the steps we could as detailed in the book to improve our luck but nothing seemed to help. This was very unfortunate as it prevented us from some of our planned activities. Secondly, we ate on the back deck (which was very nice) but unfortunately the picnic tables did not seem to be well-kept; one of the benches was wet and rotted and the entire bench broke under the weight of two adult men. Luckily none of us were injured but it is definitely a safety issue and I would be cautious with future use. Finally, as mentioned in another review, the house was uncluttered but definitely could have used a better deep cleaning. There was dust and dirt that was noticeable after walking around. Also, while there were travel-sized shampoo and conditioner, some small soap/body wash toiletries would have been much appreciated. Overall, the listing was a decent representation of the property but a few issues prevent us from giving a higher rating. Our advice to the property owner is to take steps to improve their internet and wifi connection, and make sure that things are cleaned and inspected to make sure they can be used safely.

Will not return
The backyard was awesome with the pool, fire pit, hot tub, ping pong table and the golf cart. The inside of the house was dirty. My granddaughter crawls and her legs were dirty from the floors on the 1st day . Asked Vacasa , the management company, to have have floors cleaned. They were responsive and the cleaning lady returned to clean the floors. There was mold in the bathrooms and food under the couch in the basement. The washer didn’t work all week. My family had to take time to go to a laundromat. I requested a credit for the washer not working and never heard back from the management company. I paid over $1000/day and should have been compensated. I will not return to this VRBO rental

Great house with a pool by the beach!
We wanted to find a safe and fun getaway. We found that with this home. It is in a quiet beach town. We took the golf cart to the beach located a block away. We swam in the large swimming pool. We had a nice fire in the back to make s’mores. There was a lot more sleeping areas than what we required. You could bring a large family here with no issues. It is the perfect getaway for a family that wants to enjoy time away from the crowds. The only item that could be improved would be the golf cart. It almost didn’t make it up the hills on a full charge and limited weight. Just a general note on that, but it did what we intended it to do which was to get to the beach in a fun way. I highly recommend this house. We will use it again in the future as a quick getaway.
