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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
