Sq Toe`s Last Resort:Pet-Friendly*Fenced* GameRoom
Nestled in the heart of New Buffalo, this modest two-bedroom home offers a quiet retreat. Steps from Whittaker St`s boutiques and eateries, and the marina and beach just a gentle stroll away. It`s a space of simple comforts: a queen bed, cozy bunk beds, and a convenient sofa bed. The fenced yard, with its patio, bar, fire pit and grill, is perfect for relaxed gatherings. The thoughtfully updated garage game room provides an added touch of leisure.
Guests have full access to the entire home.
There is a queen size bed in the main bedroom, along with a full closet, bedside tables and a dresser. The second bedroom features a full over full bunk bed with a pull out twin sized trundle bed underneath. We provide pillows, sheets and blankets for all of the beds. The living room also has a great sofa that turn into a full size bed. Also a love seat that pulls out to a twin size bed. The living room is a smart tv so you can access any of your streaming apps. Don’t have Netflix? No problem we have an account set up at the house that you are more than welcome to use. So cozy up on the couch, put on a movie. (the fireplace does not work) The kitchen is also equipped with refrigerator, microwave, stove, dishwasher, and a Keurig! Outside you will find a large deck with a table with seating for four, 4 Adirondack chairs around the backyard firepit, and a large propane grill. The detached garage has been made into a bar and game room that opens up to the backyard. Perfect for get togethers. The room features a ping pong table, a bar countertop with 8 total stools, a 50” smart tv, and ice chest with a drain so need need to empty, and several games. So please make yourself at home, relax, have fun, and enjoy your stay!
New Buffalo has strict rules for short term rentals. So we have placed on camera on the front of the house that overlooks the front door and driveway. This way we can make sure we have the correct number of guest, the limit of 4 vehicles, and that there are not any parties taking place. But this is also an added safety for you as our guest. Thank you for understanding.
Guests have full access to the entire house , except the utility closet for safety reasons. The garage game room is open and you will receive a code to access the garage on the day of your arrival.
ABSOLUTELY NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 21 WITHOUT AN ADULT PRESENT THE ENTIRE TIME. NO EXCEPTIONS.
We are available through the app, email, or by phone during normal waking hours. We try to give guests their space and let them feel as if they are at home. We will only come to the house if need be or a guest needs our attention.
There is plenty of parking at the house. The main strip is within a 5 minute walk. 10-15 minute walk to the Stray Dog and beach. You can also go to the Grand Marina and rent bikes for just a couple bucks a day! A free shuttle bus to Four Winds Casino also makes pick ups at the Grand Marina!
Local Attractions
Restaurants
Here are a few of our favorite local restaurants nearby. There are well within walking distance, which is nice because parking can be somewhat difficult, especially in the summer months.
Rios Mexican Grill- fantastic drive through and walk up taco stand with outdoor seating available. This is one of our favorites, highly recommend the Shell-less burrito with spicy pork and avocado.

Five minute walk or less than a minute drive
Jackie’s Cafe- Cheerful, independent eatery offering elevated American breakfast and brunch eats and a seasonal patio.

David`s Delicatessen & Coffee- Located in the middle of downtown on the West side of Whittaker street. Known for their rueben sandwiches but also have a great constantly varying menu based on what ingredients are available from local farmers. Great place for a quick, delicious, and healthy breakfast. Organic options available. Wonderful selection of coffees and teas as well as made fresh daily pastries. Really cool atmosphere with wonderful seating inside and out.

The Stray Dog Bar & Grill- Bright spot with wood tables & booths. Offers New American fare & wide beer list, plus rooftop patio and bar. Another one of our favorites. Located in the heart of downtown and near the beach. Perfect place for dinner and drinks. Would give a meal recommendation but honestly everything is great.

The experience was okay. When we arrived, the code didn’t work for the lock on the door. We were able to message the host and get that addressed quickly. The home seemed to have been cleaned in a rush. There was quite a bit of pet hair on the comforter in the main bedroom and the yard still had quite a bit pet waste from the last guests. There was a piece of metal trim that was dangling from the house and banging into a downspout right outside the main bedroom all night which made it difficult to sleep. I did let the host know about these issues and they acknowledged and were responsive to my messages. Overall, the stay was okay but for the cost it was a bit disappointing.

We came up for a quiet relaxing week. This is just the place- close drive to beaches, parks, restaurants but in quiet safe neighborhood. Place very nice for those traveling with pets and or children. They left great instructions for things to do and a great basket of mubchies. Literally didnt need to take anything but personal stuff.

Overall the property was fine. Grass was very long, especially in the fenced area making it very hard to enjoy or use. Heavy smell, of something, in garage could not use.
We enjoyed a very comfortable stay in this cozy home. Our dogs loved romping in the yard while we enjoyed a glass of wine on the deck. Thanks for such a lovely time.
