The home is beautiful. We enjoyed time by the pool, the beach and the fun hip restaurants in the city center. The host was kind and responsive. We would definitely come back. It accommodated the ten of us generously. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The heated pool was wonderful and we used it a lot! We also liked that there was an hot tub to use. Everything was clean and organized for our stay. Check in and out was very easy with no issues during our stay. We would definitely rent this home again in the future.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the house. It exceeded our expectations. It was so clean, had all amenities, extra pack n play. and even kids toys. The beach was walking distance and New Buffalo’s main strip of restaurants and shops was a short 5 min drive. The neighborhood was peaceful and private.
Third Coast was extremely communicative before and during our stay. We had a couple hiccups with getting in, and the pool, and all were resolved very quickly. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay at the property. I appreciated all the information that was provided in the weeks and days leading up to our vacation. Pretty much all of my questions were answered with the guides and FAQ that was provided. And to the extent I had very specific questions, the team was very responsive. The home was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. We really liked that the pool was so well maintained and the electric pool cover was very convenient. We were also pleasantly surprised by the pool toys and floaties. The kids spent hours in the pool with plenty of toys to keep them occupied. We forgot to bring my youngest nephew's floaties and there was a set that fit him perfectly. Thank you for the comprehensive directions to the nearest beach. We took a walk down there on the first day and really enjoyed both the walk there and the beach.
