Very nice area and home for a family getaway. The kids loved the warm, clean pool and the quick golf cart ride to the private beach was a bonus. Proximity to Chicago, Notre Dame University and other interesting locales provided opportunities for fun excursions. Nearby restaurants (especially Brewster's) were excellent!

Family fun

We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Poolside Bliss. The house itself has been updated and is well maintained- very clean. So many nice amenities were included, such as hand soap, shampoo, body wash, dish soap, laundry detergent, garbage bags, toilet paper, paper towels, even aluminum foil! Many times these are not items included with a rental. Access to the golf cart and bikes was fabulous. There were plenty of beach chairs too. We enjoyed the private pool so much. The owner checked in with us to ensure we had everything we needed and was quick to respond if we needed anything. The toaster wasn’t working so he sent a new one the next day. We had ten people ranging from 15-83. Everyone loved our vacation!

Family Celebration

We stayed with family, ages 9-71, at Poolside Bliss in order to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The property is located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The home was very clean and the owners were very responsive to any questions. We were in the pool every day and rode bikes and golf cart to the beautiful private beach. The fire pit was also a hit in the evenings. Highly recommend this property!

Great house and location

Great house and very comfortable for 6 adults. Enjoyed the pool and backyard deck. Nick was quick to answer all questions. Due to rain and warm weather the pool water had turned green. Nick immediately contacted the pool service, and they were able to quickly resolve. Nice quiet location and close to lake Michigan, New Buffalo and Michigan City.

Great Place!

We had an amazing time at this Lake Michigan home! The house was very clean. The home had everything we needed. The pool was amazing. The beach is about a half a mile walk but there was also bikes and a golf cart available for our use. Great beach area for swimming, rock hunting or watching the sunset. We really enjoyed this location for our extended family vacation. We had 12 people ranging in ages 9-80. Home owner was very responsive to our needs and questions. Excellent rental.

Great location/house

Our stay was great. Minutes from both New Buffalo and Michigan City, 9 hole golf course truly 2 minutes away. House was in pristine condition, the pool was fantastic and the bedrooms got the job done. Nice open concept main floor and a serviceable hangout area in the basement. We’re planning on staying again next year if it works out.

3 Generation Family Vacation

This is a great family friendly home that is conveniently located 10 minutes from downtown New Buffalo, the Marina, the Lighthouse shopping outlet, and the Washington Park Zoo We especially enjoyed the pool most days. The kitchen was well equipped for all our cooking needs. The kids loved sleeping together in the double bunk beds. It was only a 4-5 minute bike or golf cart ride to the private beach. We also found a playground in the neighborhood for the kids along with pickle ball and basketball courts for the adults. The week went by too fast!! Thank you Nick and Klaudia for sharing your home!

Great Vacation House With Golf Cart!

Our family of nine, including six adults and three children under 12, enjoyed our stay at Poolside Bliss. The location is in a subdivision adjacent to Lake Michigan, and access to the beaches is very easy because the rental comes with a golf cart. This made transporting beach items, and people, very easy and painless. The added plus was the kids just enjoyed being driven around in the cart even when we were not going to the beach. The house is set up with two bedrooms on the main level and an addtional living room and two bedrooms in the lower walkout level. This allowed the kids to get to bed a bit earlier than the adults, and since they were on the lower level our conversation upstairs did not bother them. The home has a built in pool that is heated to 82 degrees, which came in handy this year because we've had a cool spring in Michigan. Midweek the pool got a bit cloudly, and I texted the owner who contacted the poool technician who literally arrived with five minutes! Communication with both owners was easy and quick prior to and during the rental. We can recommend this home for someone who's looking for good beach access and a golf cart in the New Buffalo area!

Family time

We stayed with our 4 adult children and their significant others. We wanted to all spend some quality time together before the youngest gets deployed overseas in a few months. House was perfect and in a quiet neighborhood. We used the pool and firepit each day. We did beach days late mornings. Property is 15 min from New Buffalo or Michigan City so we did a couple of local activities in each. Owners were easy to contact even with them just welcoming their 3rd child. Would absolutely book here again

Michigan Fun!

Poolside Bliss was a great place to stay! We had everything we needed and it was very convenient to both Michigan City and New Buffalo. We scoped out the area and visited the Dunes. We had 8 people that included a family with 3 children - it was nice to let them use the entire basement. The rest of us had the quiet of the upstairs! Unfortunately the weather turned rainy and we were not able to take advantage of the bikes and golf cart. Hopefully we can come back again.

Relaxing Birthday Weekend

The house was amazing! We stayed there with our kids and nieces to get away from the city and celebrate my 40TH birthday. We just wanted to relax and that we did. There was plenty of space for the kids to play, watch tv, swim, run…we did it all. The older kids were able to ride the cruisers while the little ones hoped on the golf cart to roam around. We ate our diners on the patio and honestly I don’t think the pool was ever empty. On Saturday night we roasted marshmallows by the fire pit. We went to town twice but did everything on the property. We highly recommend it. Nick was a great host.

Poolside Bliss easily accommodated our group of 8 adults and 2 small children. It’s obvious the owner makes the needs of his guests his top priority. The interior is bright and welcoming-and incredibly clean. We truly loved this beautifully renovated home from the moment we walked in. The pool area was perfectly arranged for swimming, relaxing, and outdoor eating. The green space area with the fire pit was a hit at the end of the day.
