We really enjoyed our stay. The property is close to everything which allowed us walk to coffee shops, stores, and restaurants. Everything on property was clean. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils. The host is also very communicative with key information and reminders for check in and checkout.Theresa - Posted: 8/14/2026

Property consistent with listing details. Great location- our family of 6 walked everywhere. We really enjoyed having the extra space of the carriage house - perfect for older kids. Kitchen has everything you need and the beach chairs, umbrella and beach wagon were very appreciated. Bathrooms were clean and updated.Kristan - Posted: 7/31/2026

Very nice location in downtown New Buffalo! The house is very cute and was incredibly clean. The hosts have lots of beach items, including a wagon, that you can use to walk to the public beach. The house is right on the Amtrak line, so the train goes by a handful of times each day, as an FYI! I also had messaged the host a few days before my stay and never got a response back, but they have automated text messages and emails that send with all of the information you’ll need for your stay! A great place if you’re looking for a getaway to New Buffalo!Sarah - Posted: 6/9/2026

Cozy, beautiful, well maintained, and great location. Our family of five was looking for a final vacation spot before sending our oldest to college, and this house checked all the boxes. The communication with, and accessibility of the management company was fantastic. The house was super clean and had all the amenities, including beach chairs, a beach umbrella, plenty of beach towels, and a fully stocked kitchen, including a handy single-serve Keurig to go along with the traditional drip coffee maker. My wife and I were able to enjoy some peace and quiet in the guest house and let our three teenage boys hole-up in the main house. We could walk to everything in town (food, shopping, the beach), and took full advantage. Wonderful place that our family hopes to come back to.Aaron - Posted: 8/22/2025

Wonderful Family beach vacation
Delightful and conveniently located cottage plus mother-in-law unit. Perfect for our family 5 day vacation pre-larger family reunion in Chicago. Beachtime twice daily with the grandkids.. when they got up and then evening when the weather cooled and the sunlight was golden! We enjoyed the firepit, making s'mores and watching fireflies.We took side midday adventures to Warren Dunes State Park, picked blueberries at a nearby farm, explored the cute downtown area, splashpool and walked everywhere...and found lots of yummy ice cream! We preferred slower activities from Sunday evening through Thursday departure. Saturday and especially tge evening was young folks-celebrating very exuberantly.JoAn - Posted: 7/7/2025

4th of July weekend was perfect at our VRBO. The location was so close to everything. The Amtrak behind was never late at night. We had so much space. We would definitely stay there again!Crystal - Posted: 7/6/2025

Wonderful Property Close to Shops and Restaurants
This property has everything you need! Fully equipped kitchen and plenty of sleeping space for family. The location is perfect being just a couple blocks from the main street where there are many shops and restaurants. You will not be disappointed. There is an Amtrack that runs through town and this house is right behind the track. This was no issue for us, but it comes through a few times a day (latest we heard was 1030pm). Third Coast was incredible and I would not hesitate to rent from them in the future!Carly - Posted: 6/1/2025

Perfect house, perfect location, perfect town. The house was immaculate. Beds were very comfortable. The provided snacks, playing cards, and soaps and shampoos were a great touch. Loved the fire pit area too. Amazing location to all that New Buffalo has to offer. Easy walk to the beach. Loved the rooftop at Stray Dog. Amazing patio at Casey’s. So many great breweries and wineries in the area too. Beer Church, Seedz, Watermark, Round Barn winery were all amazing. We can’t wait to come back and I would stay at this house again in a heartbeat.Taylor - Posted: 10/6/2024

Girls Trip
3 of us booked the Lake Escape for a quick girls trip weekend. The house was super cute! The guest house was also adorable. We were a 5min walk from the Stray Dog. Pretty much walking distance to everything in the downtown area, and just a short drive to The Round Barn and Ghost Isle. We would definitely stay with Third Coast again!Ashley - Posted: 4/8/2024

Family Getaway to New Buffalo
I was very impressed with this property. Some notable strengths include: the ease of communication with the property managers before check-in, the seamless nature of check-in, and the welcoming nature of the home upon entry. The house was clean, well-organized, and made for a sweet first day in New Buffalo. The house is close to nearly everything - a short walk away. I was thrilled to not have to hustle for parking when going to downtown New Buffalo on a busy weekend night. I loved the amenities within the home and the attention to detail. They had taken extra steps to ensure a comfortable stay. We enjoyed making meals at home and had nearly everything we could ask for stocked in the kitchen. There were plentiful cleaning tools in the home to sweep and vacuum sand/dirt tracked in from the beach. The outdoor area was stocked with sand toys for the nearby beach, and there was a hose for getting cleaned up afterward. We loved the swing and being able to sit outside in the nice weather. My dad (grandpa) loved the guest house and being "king of the castle" for a week. Some areas of opportunity include: taking a moment to clean little nooks and crannies (inside and under the sofa, under the bed), stocking a blender, and perhaps placing a white noise machine in each room to drown out loud train noise for sensitive sleepers. I felt like I was making myself right at home in the rental and plan to bring my entire family back next year!Kristian - Posted: 8/4/2023
Kristian, Thank you SO much for this excellent review. We really appreciate the thorough feedback and kind words. Thank you for being an excellent guest and we look forward to hosting you again.Third Coast Vacations staff

Great beach time in beautiful New Buffalo
The place was very clean and the decor and setup was nice. I am not durecif the dryer heat worked or not so this may need looked at. It had all the amenities needed including lots of kitchen appliances and beach towels.Leslie - Posted: 7/8/2023
So glad you loved your beach time here in New Buffalo but we are sorry you had to deal with a slow dryer. We will pop over and take a look!Third Coast Vacations staff

LakeEscape house was amazing for what I needed for the weekend. Wish it was a longer stay. Me and my teens enjoyed the house, comfortable beds, the couch!..so cozy. Clean house. Short Walk to all amenities in town.
The guest house was perfect too.
Dan was very friendly and answered my questions and helped me with my request for early check in.
Will definitely consider this house for future stays.
Thank youMiriam - Posted: 7/2/2023

Great stay in New Buffalo
Great spot for beach bumming and exploring near by areas. The four of us (41,42 5 & 3) stayed in the main house, while grandparents enjoyed the separate space. Not a lot of room, but if your sleeping, heading to the beach, showering, and heading back out. Is a great spot. Easy walk to almost all of the New Buffalo eateries, breweries and attractions. Right on the Amtrack line. Only heard 3 trains per day (Thursday-Sunday). Which worked out since our 3year old lives trains. Latest train comes by around 10:30. Never write the kids up. Supplied beach towels and consumables were greatly appreciated. There was a French press, Keurig, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, popcorn and welcome bag.Joshua B. - Posted: 6/27/2023
Joshua, Thanks again for coming to stay with us and for your excellent review - while the tracks are close the Amtrak line isn't too busy - but a bonus since you have a train lover in the group! Glad you enjoyed your time with us at the beach and downtown. Thank you again for being such a great guest.Third Coast Vacations staff
