- "The house is lovely -- roomy, beautifully decorated, and fully stocked (linens, paper products, more than ample kitchen equipment and even some food staples.) We had a great time walking to the beaches and throughout the neighborhood, lounging in the jacuzzi, eating on the patio, and roasting marchmellows over the fire pit. One suggestion for future renters: reserve a golf cart before you arrive. We were not aware of this possiblity until we had checked in and saw several carts zipping around the neighborhood. Unfortunately, all of the carts had been reserved because of the boat races scheduled at Michigan City. Nevertheless, we had a great time. We will probably come again."

- "We loved our stay at Grand Beach! The house was perfect for our family of four. The layout was ideal, including a great primary bedroom that gave the adults their own space to unwind. The living room was cozy and comfortable. The pool was terrific and the outdoor lighting gave a welcoming night time ambiance. The beach toy selection was solid and our kiddos loved pulling the wagon of supplies to the beach. The walk to the beach was definitely less than 5 minutes -- even closer than we had anticipated. The beach is on the smaller side but was not at all crowded. The sunset views were indeed great. The house is also a reasonable walk to the playground. The yard across the driveway is large and we even saw a deer come through. Good food was a short drive away, and we got carryout several times. We came from central Indiana and were pleased to have found such a gem without having to travel farther north. (We had one issue but Gina handled it immediately and to our full satisfaction.) One of our very best VRBO experiences. We hope to be back!"

Located central to everything 1/4 mile from Lake Michigan, 5 minutes from Four Winds Casino, Blue Chip Casino and two golf courses and the Lighthouse place outlet mall.
The best beaches are the Michigan City beach and the New Buffalo beach both are about a 5 minute drive with lots of sand and sun,
Rental supplied with 2 passenger golf cart, but you can upgrade to 4 passenger or even 6-8 passenger limo golf cart for an additional fee, just contact us for details.

Large rear deck with grill for outdoor enjoyment. Fire pit and fully fenced back yard (60ft x 45ft)
Location is in the middle of everything. 5 miles from Four Winds Casino, Blue Chip Casino, New Buffalo an Michigan City. We are on a highway and you can hear cars in the front of the house but the sleeping area in the back is very quiet. Amtrak operates a 100 mph train a few times a day and you will know when it is coming, thankfully they do not run late at night with the last train about 10 PM Michigan time.
The lake level is high this year so the beaches have been reduced but we are 10 minutes from both New Buffalo and Michigan City beaches.
I would stress with one word what you will find in our cottage 'Sanitized'.
We clean this unit ourselves and do not use a service, everything is laundered and bleached, floors are 100% ceramic with throw rugs and you will find the entire home immaculate, I'm sure. You will never find any sign of a pet and we use ozone generators between guests and UV sanitation.

It is definitely, as advertised, a cozy cottage and they are NOT kidding that you only have to bring yourselves - everything you could think of and more is supplied and waiting for for you. The location is convenient to so many adventures and their beach is perfect and super close. Being pet friendly was a plus for us and the fenced yard was also perfect. Definitely recommend to anyone!

- "My husband and I came with two of our grandchildren, ages 3 and 4 to play at the beach. We were hoping to hang out at New Buffalo Beach, but it was very small with limited parking. We went to Warren Dunes State Park instead-a bit further to drive, but more spacious beach. Unfortunately due to weather, we only had part of 2 days at the beach. Our hosts had made suggestions of other activities to do with the kids, which we really appreciated (and needed)! The kids loved the Heston Steam train and the smaller gauge train in Indiana, Oink’s and the Galien River Trail and Lookout! Our cottage was very clean and comfortable-Jan’s flowers around all the properties and gorgeous! Den’s concrete work is cute and creative. The business next door has a huge grey tabby cat that came to visit one morning and made himself right at home on laps! The kids thought he was cute! I appreciated Jan making suggestions for groceries-very helpful and not too far of a drive. Just a suggestion: a pair of kitchen shears and sharp knife in the kitchen and a new dustpan. Beds were comfortable; we enjoyed the deck, fire pit area and the hammock! Truly appreciated Jan and Den’s property and will return."

- "Great place to stay with a group, right near the heart of New Buffalo!" - "This property was beautiful and worked out perfectly for our family trip. We had 10 people, including two children and an infant and we all fit comfortably. The decor was very modern/pretty and the bathrooms were wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the host was excellent about communicating with me. We also enjoyed the pool (heated and clean, beach towels were provided) everyday we were there. Walking distance to Beer Church, there's a Rainbow Cone within walking distance as well. Quick drive to Three Oaks if you're interested in Journeyman. You can also walk to the beach, but we chose to drive there upon checking out. We recommend this property! "

Only 1 hour and 15 minutes from downtown Chicago but we felt the calm of New Buffalo as soon as we drove into town. The calmness was magnified as we settled into this great cottage It was extremely clean, great bed and large peaceful screened in porch.

Beautiful secluded private cottage. Walk to Lake Michigan private beaches. Modern kitchen with all amenities. Beautiful remodeled bathroom. 2 bedrooms plus queen sleeper sofa. Sleeps 6. 2 large TV's. Heated outdoor shower. Fire pit.
- "we very much enjoyed our time in New Buffalo! The house was very close to a more private beach which everyone enjoyed. We also loved walking through town and eating at Oinks & The Stray. Picking blueberries at Mike’s was also very fun! The house was great and having beach towels and chairs available helped cut down on packing." - "This was a wonderful rental. It was so charming and perfectly stocked. The space was perfect for my family of 4. The outdoor space is so pretty; one night we grilled and sat around the fire pit. The cottage is decorated so well, and we loved the blue and red motif. Such a cute place! The location was wonderful, just a short walk to the beach. The walk is less than 1/2 mile (maybe like .3 or something). On the second day my husband dropped us off with all our stuff, then left his car at the house and walked over himself, which was so fast. So if you have young kids like me (who don't carry much and leave you with all the chairs and beach bag!), that is such an easy option. The beach was awesome, not crowded and clean. FYI there are stairs to walk down to the dunes, but they are really nice stairs and easy to walk."

You couldn’t ask for a sweeter spot for your southwest Michigan getaway than this cozy two-bedroom cottage in New Buffalo. This 1200-square-foot home lives large, with an airy main floor, a huge enclosed sunroom, deck, and extra sleeping space upstairs in the loft. In the warmer months, grab a book and spend the morning in the sunroom.

When you get hungry, make breakfast in the well-equipped, full kitchen, and then grab one of the benches at the kitchen table to dine together.
When you decide to venture out, you’re about two miles to the New Buffalo Public Beach and only about a mile and a half to downtown New Buffalo, with its many unique shops, bars, and restaurants. Hiking and cross country ski trails are right across the street, with more only a block or so north.

- "We were thrilled with our experience staying at Beach Glass. It is cozy, clean, and offers top notch amenities that we haven’t found with other properties. Kayse provided a great stay that was geared at making it a great experience for us. The property is clean, in a great location with close access to Grand Beach and New Buffalo, and was kid friendly. Kayse is super friendly and very responsive and we plan to visit again soon! " - "We loved our stay at the Beachglass Cottage! The host was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. The golf cart is a wonderful addition to the rental and was perfect for exploring the Grand Beach neighborhood/beaches. Would highly recommend the Beachglass Cottage to Chicago residents looking for a quick beach getaway!"

Modern cottage on a wooded lot in a small private community just over a mile from downtown New Buffalo, Michigan with three bedrooms, two baths, and a wrap-around country porch that's partially screened-in. There are two bedrooms on the main floor that share a full bath. The second room on the main floor has a queen bed and its own entrance or exit to the back porch. The master bedroom on the second floor has an outside balcony and a bath with a tub and shower. The roads that wind through the trees and the natural surroundings of the area are great for short walks or bike rides. Guests have access to the Harbor Dunes Association swimming pool.
We kindly request that guests refrain from hosting large parties or family gatherings out of respect for the neighboring homeowners, many of whom reside here year-round. By fostering a sense of harmony and consideration, we can ensure that everyone enjoys a peaceful and rejuvenating stay.

The pics don’t do this home justice, it is absolutely beautiful , from the beautiful artwork everywhere, window treatments, bedding, screened in porch, fully stocked kitchen, it was just like home . We never even turn the TV on ! It is such a relaxing retreat, near beaches, shopping, restaurants. Beautifully located, we really enjoyed the heated private community pool.

Enjoy a screened-in porch with views to the woods, an outdoor eating area with grill, lovely terrace with firepit and laundry room. Bedrooms are cozy and comfortable. The bathroom features a luxurious rain shower with hand shower for junior guests. To allow our cleaning crew time to prepare, we're unable to offer early check-ins.
The space
The Birdhouse is a cozy getaway that's both private and within walking distance of the shops, restaurants and beach in New Buffalo.
Located a 90-minute drive from Chicago, the Birdhouse is also accessible via Amtrak from the New Buffalo Amtrak stop, an easy 4-block walk away. The Birdhouse is ideal for a private, quiet getaway where you can enjoy wooded views from every window yet walk everywhere.
We've carefully designed our 700 square-foot cottage to make every space beautiful, private and efficient. The bedrooms are small, yet comfortable. The occupancy is for four people, including infants. The dining area is comfortable and stylish, and the sofa, loveseat and lounge chair are perfect for reading or watching a movie.

Our high-speed Xfinity internet has been very reliable and averages download speeds of 25Mbs+ with strong wifi coverage throughout the entire home, deck and yard.

The kitchen is equipped with space-saving, high-end appliances: refrigerator, electric range, toaster, blender, microwave and dishwasher. You'll find pots, pans and a Cuisinart coffee maker with a timer and insulated coffee pot for keeping that second cup of coffee warm. You’ll also find plenty of cookware, dinnerware and cutlery.

The house is situated on the side of a gentle ravine with a small, shallow stream. Under the deck, there's even an outdoor shower for a refreshing post-beach rinse.
Although we have taken every opportunity to create a safe space, parents should be mindful that our cottage is located in a wooded area filled with flora and fauna, so children should be supervised at all times and respectful of the wild turkeys, deer, rabbit, raccoons, hawks, woodpeckers and other woodland friends who live nearby.

Anchors Away
You couldn’t ask for a sweeter spot for your southwest Michigan getaway than this cozy two-bedroom cottage in New Buffalo. This 1200-square-foot home lives large, with an airy main floor, a huge enclosed sunroom, deck, and extra sleeping space upstairs in the loft. In the warmer months, grab a book and spend the morning in the sunroom. That hammock strung between two trees, just past the above-ground pool, is another likely candidate for whiling the morning away. When you get hungry, make breakfast in the well-equipped, full kitchen, and then grab one of the benches at the kitchen table to dine together.
When you decide to venture out, you’re about two miles to the New Buffalo Public Beach and only about a mile and a half to downtown New Buffalo, with its many unique shops, bars, and restaurants. Hiking and cross country ski trails are right across the street, with more only a block or so north. In the evening, screaming-fast internet will help you stream your favorite shows on the wall-mounted smart TV in the living room. Or, head out and visit one of the breweries Michigan is so well-known for, with several within 10 miles. Even better, grab your beverage of choice and head back outside to one of the two firepits to watch as the night stars fill the sky.
