Holiday Vacation Rentals in Harbor Country & Lake Michigan

The holidays are a time for connection for gathering around the table, sharing laughter, and slowing down to savor the moments that matter most. But hosting at home can quickly turn from cozy to chaotic. Skip the crowded kitchens and endless cleanup this year, and celebrate in a beautiful Third Coast Vacations home designed for comfort, convenience, and togetherness. 

Our holiday vacation rentals in New Buffalo, Union Pier, St. Joseph, Michiana, and Grand Beach offer the perfect blend of space, style, and seasonal charm. From lakefront luxury estates to classic cottages filled with warmth and light, every home is ready to welcome your family and friends for the most wonderful time of the year. 

Imagine waking up to the quiet beauty of Lake Michigan, enjoying a slow morning over coffee in a spacious kitchen, and gathering the whole group for holiday meals at a table that truly fits everyone. Many of our homes feature multiple living areas, cozy fireplaces, game rooms, and outdoor hot tubs, giving everyone a place to relax their own way. Whether your traditions involve board games, movie marathons, or fireside chats, you’ll find room to make new memories together. 

Why guests love holiday stays in Harbor Country: 

  • 🏡 Spacious homes with room for everyone to gather comfortably 
  • 🍽️ Fully equipped kitchens for real holiday cooking 
  • 🔥 Fireplaces, hot tubs, and cozy indoor spaces for chilly nights
