The place was accurately described in the listing, it is very small and cozy but easy access to the beach and we weren’t in the room much. It would have been nice for the comfy chair and massage chair to be swapped so there was a comfy place to sit while watching TV
Everything was as described. The cottage was clean and cozy, the hot tub was clean. The only thing I would warn about is the terrain is uneven, so if you have mobility concerns, you may want to take that into consideration. I do believe the host did a good job describing the area. The walk to the beach is all on sand and was a little rough on my knees. But the hot tub helped with that! We had a nice relaxing stay.
We love this location. The landscaping was beautiful. We didn’t use the hot tub as it is not in a secluded location. But we still love this little spot and look forward to our next visit.
Beautiful location and great access to the beach.We will come back in the summer to enjoy the beach more. Wildlife lovers will really enjoy this place. Very affordable.
The hosts were very communicative and gave good advice for places to check out in the area (some interesting antique shops). The rental is snug, as expected, but the amenities were pleasant and you can’t go wrong with beach access! Would recommend for others interested in checking out the area .
This was a clean little place to stay. The bells and whistles for this place are in the location and access to the various pieces of outdoor equipment. For those who are looking for a place to rest after spending the day at the beach, this is for you.
Perfect beach cottage for a couple; nice amenities; very short walk to Lake Michigan & beach; short drive to IN Dunes National Park; on site property manager very friendly & helpful.
This place was a lot of fun. Such a tiny house but so much to do. It was exactly how it is was described. We also visited New Buffalo and St Joseph beaches during our stay. All were beautiful and not too far away. Overall great trip!
Great little property on the beach(short walk, but only sand dunes and trees between property and the beach). We loved the hot tub and bikes available on the property. Will definitely stay there again!
The property was perfect for our daycation. The house and lakefront were nice and clean. Property was just as descibed and communication with the host was easy.
The place was isolated for perfect privacy for a couple and was a short walk to the beach! Would be perfect for a couples getaway. The owner was accommodating and everything was as described! Soda fountain and pinball machine give it a very unique feel. Enjoyed the trip and place.
