Description Description
Welcome to New Buffs Bungalow, a bright and cozy downtown New Buffalo retreat with retro charm throughout. New Buffalo public beach is just 0.9 miles from the house, and downtown shops and restaurants are an easy walk. Parking is available for up to 4 cars off Norton St. This home shares a property with New Buffs Studio, a separate lofted studio above the detached garage — both can be booked together when dates allow.

Where you'll sleep: Bedroom 1 has a queen bed (new as of 2025) with a large smart TV, Bedroom 2 offers a double bed, and Bedroom 3 has a queen bed — sleeping up to 6 guests.

The entrance opens onto a sunny patio with a fire pit, outdoor dining, and an 8-person hot tub. Inside, the kitchen is fully stocked with a coffee bar (drip and Keurig), and the open-concept living area has a large dining table, cozy retro furnishings, and a smart TV. A large screened porch offers a relaxing spot for morning coffee or a nightcap, and the basement adds a second TV hangout space plus guest laundry.

Booked through Third Coast Vacations, a local full-service property manager offering concierge services, beach gear discounts, and charcuterie board delivery.

This place had everything we needed! Walking distance to the downtown area, easy parking, and a playground nearby for the kids. The enclosed front porch was a great bonus space to hang out in as well.
Jason - Posted: 7/21/2026
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad New Buffs Bungalow had everything you needed and that you enjoyed the walkable location, easy parking, and enclosed front porch. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you and your family back again soon!

I stayed here for a girls weekend with three other women. We had a great time! This property was perfect. We spent lazy mornings on the screened in porch drinking coffee. Some of the traffic can be loud because the house is so close to the road, but it didn't affect our sleep.
The downtown is walkable from the property. We did drive to the beach because we wanted to be closer and not have to walk through town in our bathing suits, but parking was easy. The restaurants were amazing.
I would definitely come back and stay at this property again.

Pro’s-
Location
Hot tub
Amount of space inside
Option to rent other unit
Sufficient parking
Easily accessible
Outdoor space
Front porch is cute
Con’s
Trash hanging behind bedroom door
Stains on white towels and some bedding
Bed had sand in it- felt like sheets were not changed
No switch or clear instructions for ceiling fans
Garbage disposal- no switch or not working
turned the thermostat down to 70, it appeared to be remotely changed a few times to 72 which is uncomfortable for our family.
They had an appliance delivered during our stay, although someone from the rental company came so we wouldn’t have to stay.
Overall, I would stay here again with my family.

Nice weekend stay within walking distance to downtown and a quick drive to the casino. Lots of restaurants and bars close by. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. Front porch was enclosed, it was nice to sit and read while watching the traffic go by. Hot tub was nice and hot! We would go back.

Perfect vacation house
This house was just perfect for me and my partner. Would be perfect for a family with multiple kids or a girls trip. Everything was super clean and up to date. Hot tub was very clean and easy to use. The location was also perfect. We walked everywhere. Management group very easy to get a hold of. This is the first rental I would re- book!

Great location!
The house is centrally located so we could walk to a few places and got to several beaches fairly easily. My kids loved the ping pong table in the basement. The hot tub was a hit as well. I contacted the property manager once and they replied quickly and addressed a small issue. Great place!

Great little house for a weekend gettaway. The hot tub was perfect and quite large, and the sun room was lovely for reading and relaxing. Although, the town doesn't have the best sidewalk situation, this was still walkable to restaurants, shops, hiking trails, and the beach. The house is right on the main road, but I didn't hear much traffic noise. It was just 2 of us, so the house felt good in size. It probably would've also been fine for 2 couples or a few friends. Overall, the house had everything we needed.

New Buffs Cottage
My husband and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. It met all of our needs. Property manager was easy to communicate with and assisted promptly when our battery died on our car providing us with a jump and mechanic is needed.

Overall we were pleased with the size of the home and the amenities. The location allowed us to walk to the beach, grocery store and restaurants. Only deducted one star for location due to the fact this home is on a busy, main road. This did not negatively impact our stay, but maybe should be shown in the listing (unless I missed it?) for others who may be sensitive to road noise.

Great long weekend
I stayed here with my mom, my daughter (10) and her friend for a long weekend in July. It was perfect for our needs, although a second bathroom would have been nice. Although it is on a busy road, it wasn’t overly loud. It has a cozy cottage feel, everything isn’t brand new, but the beds were very comfy and it is clean and functional. It is walkable to downtown, even my mom with a bad knee walked it just fine, but the beach would be a hike. Beach parking is pretty limited so get there early. New Buffalo was a really cute city.

Nice family getaway
We stayed here for the 4th of July week and it was a great location for walking to holiday festivities. The house was cute and just what we needed. There were a couple minor cleaning issues when we first arrived but the property owner was very responsive and took care of things. I would recommend this stay.

Nice yellow house
The house was very well kept and up to date; while keeping the cottage feel. Very close the downtown AND you could walk to redamaks to put ur name on the list and prob wait on the porch. Hot tub was great If I have to find a minor issue so my review seems honest, there were DVDs & a player but I didn’t see wires to hook it up to a tv. I didn’t call and ask about bc it was not an issue Very easy fix and the wires may be on site already
Anonymous - Posted: 6/26/2023
Anthony, Thanks for your honest feedback! We will check out that DVD hookup so future guests don't have an issue! Glad you loved the home and location and we hope we get a chance to host you again!
