We had such a wonderful few days here. The view from the deck was amazing and there was everything we needed to enjoy time on the beach. The house was very clean and Maria was great to work with. We had 4 generations of women (6 of us) staying here and it worked for everyone. Weâd love to go back.
The location is fantastic! Lake Michigan is just steps from the back door. It was great being able to have the bedroom windows open and here at the waves crashing on the shore. The beds were very comfortable and the back patio is a great place too hang out with friends. New Buffalo is so close and has lots of great restaurants. The hosts made themselves available quickly via text, so if we had any questions they answered them right away. The whole process was very easy. Relaxing weekend!
I stayed with my husband and my sister's family. There were 7 of us total. Check in was very easy! The hostess was very easy to get a hold of with any questions, and she always answered promptly. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and relax. The house is very clean and there is plenty of room in the kitchen to bring lots of groceries. I couldn't really tell from the pictures, but you do have to go up many stairs to enter the house, no matter what door you use. I understand this is because the house is on the beach. The backyard is the beach! The location couldn't be better! There is also an outdoor overhead shower to rinse off your sand before heading inside. Overall, we had an amazing time and would definitely recommend to anyone!
My family enjoyed our stay, the location is great and everyone you need is provided (beach toys, towels, etc). Maria is great to communicate with and we will definitely consider staying again!
The location is wonderful! Right on the beach! The house was very clean and comfortable. The hosts were great to deal with. I would recommend this property for a family just wanting to spend some time together!
Maria was very accommodating and easy to work with. The house was exactly as described and perfect for our group. Fantastic location, right on the beach, close to everything. Highly recommend and plan to book here again!
The house was charming and felt safe. The beach was stunning with absolutely amazing sunsets. The pictures donât do it justice. Maria was responsive and accommodating. We had a wonderful time.
We came with some friends and family to get away and unplug. The beach access was amazing and the sunsets were beautiful!!! Many amazing memories were made.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this wonderful home. Very easy access to the beach, right out the back door. We really appreciate it the easy communication with Maria, she is great!
Great fully furnished beach house,used grill and fire pit every day. Firewood was provided which was great. All questions were promptly answered by management. Would gladly stay again, perfect quick getaway from Chicago rat race..
We loved this house, the location, the layout of the home and property on the beach, Maria is a wonderful person and kept in contact with us when needed. The home is spacious, comfortable and well maintained. Tons of beach toys, chairs and water craft to play in the lake. My family had the best time, as did my three dogs, everyone was so relaxed and happy the whole time. We booked a return visit before we left it was so wonderful.
We loved the location! The house is directly on the beach and just a short distance from the Indiana Dunes. The house was comfortable, spacious, and well-stocked. The owner was incredibly helpful and responsive. If we stay here again we would likely bring our own sheets or ask the owner for additional sheets as the linens are washed by the previous tenants. My entire family (my spouse, two young kids, and two dogs) enjoyed our stay and would likely rebook here in the future.
Our stay was exactly what we expectedâit was on the beach and our dogs loved it as much as we did. I have spent more than 50 years renting cottages along Lake Michigan, but nearly all of the rentals were in South Haven Michigan. We enjoyed everything Long Beach had to offer and we definitely would returnâit was an hour closer drive and quieterâvery relaxingâgood golf courses nearby and very reasonable green fees and the beach is pure heavenâplenty of space and many treasures to find walking along the shore.
This property is in an incredible location. The deck literally looks out over the lake and you can walk right off the back onto the beach. There is not a better location around the lake.
The actual house was a bit outdated but very sizable and had some really cool features from the past. Overall if youâre prioritizing proximity to the beach, great views, and appreciate a home with a lot of character, you wonât find a better place.
Also, Maria was delightful to communicate with.
10/10 would stay again!
We traveled with a group of 7 - 5 adults, 2 kids. The adults all slept in the upstairs bedrooms and the kids took the main floor bonus room. The house had plenty of space for all of us. We absolutely loved the beach even though it was incredibly windy while we were there (7-11 foot waves!), so we didnât spend a ton of time out there. But hearing the waves from the bedrooms was the best white noise machine for sleeping. The other reviews here helped - we were prepared for stairs and a narrow driveway. Neither gave us any trouble though. The owner was very helpful and communicative! We would stay again.
Enjoyed our stay here. Didn't realize there would be so many stairs. Flight going up to get in the home and a flight going down to the beach. Then we knew about the stairs going up to the bedrooms. If you are young this probably wouldn't matter but to us older folks it sure made a difference. We should have looked more. The driveway was a shocker. Deep incline going down the drive. Best to backup in it. The beach was great. Needed more time to enjoy it more. The house was roomy and very nice. Any questions were answered quickly by Maria. She even stopped by to see if we needed anything. Very nice lady.
The property is a great location--Long Beach, Indiana, about 20 minutes from New Buffalo, MI. Nice grocery and CVS nearby. Lovely view and easy access to a wide Lake Michigan beach. New kitchen and two new-ish bathrooms are nice. Plenty of space to spread out. Here are a few things to know: Three nice-size bedrooms upstairs are comfy. The "fourth" bedroom is a small daybed on what was probably a sleeping porch, and fine for a child or pre-teen. If you have any mobility challenges, know that the stairs from the driveway to the main level are steep, and slippery when wet. Railings help but our elderly relative would not have been able to manage them. Also: bring your own bath towels. The owners ask that you wash their towels (not sheets) if you use them. This is fine, but again if you have mobility issues, the washer/dryer is in the basement (steep stairs). It's a quaint old place (duplex, Sunset side) with charm. Would be even more pleasant with a bit more attention to small details.
