Everything was wonderful, you can walk to town, ice cream and beach or drive and park there. Home was very spacious and comfortable. Nice front and back porch with chairs. Supplied with lots of things. We would certainly recommend.
Wayne P. - Posted: 5/12/2026

The Barker House went above and beyond our expectations. The home is located on a street that is very peaceful and in a beautiful neighborhood yet extremely walkable to everything in downtown New Buffalo including the beach. The layout of the home is perfect for a large family as there are three full bathrooms and the lower level is a completely private part of the home with 2 additional bedrooms with one of the full baths and a large common area with TV. The fenced in backyard was so much fun for our dog. The deck had plenty of seating for the entire family. The kitchen was fully stocked to allow us to cook meals in but loved that there was such a variety of restaurants very near by. Third Coast Vacations and Dan were super responsive to our inquiries both prior to our stay and during our stay. We had an incredible weekend and are already planning for a second stay at the Barker House.

Thanks very much for staying with us Jesse. Glad you had a good time and if you come back to the area, we hope you will think of Third Coast!
Third Coast Vacations staff

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.

Matua - Posted: 9/26/2025

The house and location was fantastic; however we had a problem with the AC not cooling the main level. We inquired about that and Third Coast immediately sent a staff member out to assess. It was a Sunday so they could not get an HVAC technician out, so they very generously moved us to another property. We were not expecting this at all and were very happy and grateful for the very proactive service from Third Coast. Would recommend Third Coast for their very friendly and proactive service.
Linda - Posted: 8/13/2025

Ten of us stand here for a quick weekend trip. Location was PERFECT - very centrally located. Close to the shops, restaurants and beach. Would stay here again.

We had an enjoyable, easy experience. The house was nice and in the perfect location. Limited fees when booking directly. The house, especially the location, was absolutely wonderful. The beach, shops downtown, ice cream across the street and also around the corner, Beer Church, Stray Dog, and even Barney's.

Jay M. - Posted: 8/10/2024

Everything was as advertised. Communication was quick and always helpful.The house was very well appointed and clean. The layout was excellent (for a family of 6 adults, a 6 year-old and an infant). Having 3 full bathrooms was a plus. And the location was perfect. We could walk to the beach, restaurants, town. Loved being able to walk almost everywhere - including the beach and restaurants. We went several times after dinner to Oinks for fabulous ice cream - also just a shirt was away. In the morning, there was a food truck parked down the block that made fresh donuts.
Howard from Madison - Posted: 8/1/2024

Rosen family

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.
Howard - Posted: 7/29/2024

Great for families! Lots of space, great fenced in backyard which makes it very dog friendly. Great walk ability to main strip and close access to everything. The beach!
Lissie from Chicago - Posted: 7/9/2024

The hosts were very helpful and communicative throught the entire stay. It fit all of our group comfertable and the living room, dining room, and back yard were all great spots for all of us to hangout. We also really enjoyed the surrounding towns beach and restaurants. I would definitely recommend staying here and would come back again.
Marcos - Posted: 6/30/2024

Great stay in New Buffalo

No complaints on this one, everything was as advertised and easy with the property, would definitely stay again.
John - Posted: 6/24/2024

great location and lots of fun for our weekend getaway!
Bryan - Posted: 6/16/2024

If you’re looking for a long weekend, I highly recommend this spot! It is right next to the main strip of New Buffalo! Everything is within walking distance! The house fit all of the ladies without issue. It was clean, organized, and welcoming. We had a very minor issues and the staff at Third Coast responded to my texts immediately. I loved having 24 hour staff. The backyard is great for games and hanging out. If I had to leave one complaint it would be the beds are pretty stiff for my liking. However, we would book here again in a heartbeat!
Allie - Posted: 6/9/2024

Family Getaway

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.
Tim - Posted: 4/2/2024

Central location

We brought the kids for a few days to the area and had a blast. the home is so centrally located, we walked everywhere. Clean property, fenced in yard, and plenty of parking for all of us. We will come back!
Angela from Iowa City - Posted: 10/19/2023

Friendly staff that could answer all questions. Clean house. Great location.THe kitchen was not as well stocked as could have been. The beds were so hard that they were uncomfortable.The location.
Lori from Midland - Posted: 10/19/2023

Wonderful family home. Very well stocked kitchen. Walkable to shops and restaurants.
Sabrina - Posted: 10/15/2023

great place
Dan - Posted: 9/24/2023

Great location - walkable to downtown New Buffalo's restraunts and bars. House is updated and clean. There was a noticeable smell of stale cigarette smoke but we opened the windows to let fresh air in. Nice back deck. We connected with a local Uber driver, Kel who was recommended in the helpful house guest/guide book. He was fantastic! Just be sure to request a ride in advance of your stay to make sure he is available.
Lisa - Posted: 9/10/2023

We had a great stay at Dan’s place. The home was clean, updated and came with all the basics as well as a few additional nice to haves (ie. Kids cups, utensils and plates, ice in freezer, extra beach towels accessible, etc). We loved the backyard and the fire pit at night, and the patio was great for enjoying breakfast and coffee outside on. Was also nice to have 2 sitting areas inside house so we could have kids watching a movie and adults sitting upstairs and not feel too crowded all on one set of couches. Bathrooms upstairs were really nice and spacious- definitely a comfortable home for a group to stay in and enjoy all New Buff has to offer!
Kathleen - Posted: 8/14/2023

Perfect for a weekend getaway

Nothing but 5 stars here!
