Missing essentials, house didn’t give the typical VRBO feel. Garbage disposal was clogged with no flip to switch. No extra blankets, house ran cold. Found random hatchet just out on the grill. Good location for new buffalo but will not be coming back.

Our family of five and two senior dogs enjoyed our stay very much! The location was perfect for walking to some of our favorite restaurants such as Brewster’s, Stray Dog and Casey’s. We visited a winery, went to St. Joe one day and visited Sawyer to enjoy lunch at Greenbush Brewery on another.

Pro: Upon arrival we were impressed with cleanliness, neat yard. Location for NB was perfect. Cute little house. Gift bag was a nice touch.Con: Beds all looked made by a child with ‘dollar general’ quality bedding. Primary bed was extremely hard and sheets slid everywhere due to the type of mattress cover which was awful. Had to have company come wash the bedding due to overwhelming ‘scent’ from laundry cycles. Extra blankets not available except for lower level closets where they were stored on the floor with disgusting wooly worm cocoons in them. They dropped the ball on what we feel is the most important provision…. Bedding and pillows.

Our family, 6 adults a 6 year-old and an 8 month-old had a wonderful time. Everyone had their own room, and with three full baths it was easy to schedule showers after the beach. The house was very well-appointed and in a fantastic location: we walked to the beach, restaurants and town. Communication with the property managers was excellent. We would be back, our schedules permitting.

We had a great stay in this home. The home itself was clean and newly remodeled. It is close to amenities making for fun and easy walks throughout the day. The backyard has a great fence and plenty of room for our dog to enjoy the stay too!

Location is everything
The location is perfect - 4 minute walk to almost everything in downtown. If you desire proximity, this is an excellent location. The home itself was clean and nice. It does feel a little barren and sterile with no real decoration and pretty much just beds in bedrooms and that's about it - not a huge deal if you're out and enjoying the town vs. sitting inside all day.

Great Location and Great House
We enjoyed our stay on Barker Street. House was exactly as listed, and newly renovated. Plenty of space for our group of 7 adults. Very easy 2 block walk to New Buffalo Main Street. Fenced in backyard was a huge plus. Would definitely stay here again.
