Great location. Very cute and clean space for a few days. We traveled with two guests and it was the perfect size. Very close to downtown area but far enough away to be quiet and private
Nicole - Posted: 7/4/2026

This location in New Buffalo is truly walkable to everywhere you’d want to go! I arrived by train and never once missed having a car. The loft had everything I wanted—a comfortable bed, a kitchenette for leftovers, and a couch to lounge and read on. Plus, it was very quiet. For anyone looking for a nice beach vacation near Lake Michigan, I’d recommend this loft to them!
Anna - Posted: 7/1/2026

Less than Average - Please read.

We would give it a 3 out of 5. Previous reviews are accurate and disappointing to know management haven't taken them to task. So much wrong with bathroom besides no soap or shampoo product provided for guests. The bathtub-shower with a wooden step stool is far less than ideal and NOT safe for anyone getting in and out. A safety bar should be installed immediately! Water goes everywhere when the shower is used. Honestly, a complete bath renovation is needed. The outlet by the sink didn't work. The sink is tiny - hands barely fit under the faucet. The lighting is terrible. Even the bathroom door needs an adjustment or at least install a hook for closure. Although the towels seem clean, they have stains and the bedding too. One good mention is location of this rental. Walkable to New Buffalo's restaurants, retail shops and the beach.

Nice and clean
Comfortable bed
Big TV
Great deck with chairs
Sabrina - Posted: 6/6/2026

Very close to the shops and was walkable minus the horrible sidewalks on that specific street. Was truly very communicative prior to arriving.
Ritti - Posted: 5/10/2026

Wonderful small coach house loft. Very relaxing!
Des - Posted: 3/4/2026

Des,
thanks for staying with us and the studio is a great little getaway for a couple. We hope you had a good time in the area
Third Coast Vacations staff

Cute and cozy place to stay! My husband and I were able to walk downtown and grab coffee and lunch!! My only suggestion would be a latch for the bathroom room door, as it kept rolling open. Tub/shower is a little difficult to get in and out of. Overall lovely stay and VERY CLEAN, perfect distance to local shops and restaurants!! Would stay again!!
Colleen - Posted: 11/9/2025

Great town and great location! Bed was a little hard, but other than that it's a great spot to stay if visiting New Buffalo.
Matt - Posted: 10/15/2025

The communication from start to finish was exceptional and very responsive.
The only minor things were the following:
• There wasn’t any shower amenities upon arrival (shampoo, conditioner, body soap)
• Several of the towels had the same stain on them
• Light bedding only, no comforter or duvet in the unit
I’m still giving a 5 star though because I believe the soap was an accidental oversight, to which they corrected by dropping off some with a brand new iron the next morning (before we realized the unit had an iron already 🤦‍♂️). Additionally I think all the towels (and all bedding, house, etc) were clean, just maybe had some leak (or something?) resulting in several of the towels having the same stain. However, I have no doubts they would have dropped off whatever else we needed if we had asked, but aside from the soap and iron, nothing else was truly necessary for us.
All in all a great stay, great communication and cozy loft. Would recommend to others.
Graham - Posted: 10/5/2025

Exactly what we expected and exactly what we needed.
Had to buy a can opener - but other than that it had everything we needed for the short stay. It was great - we will book again.
Lillie - Posted: 9/27/2025

Everything was great! Place was clean very close to Main Street! Instructions were clear and understandable!
Alexandra - Posted: 9/25/2025

Great little spot! Not only is the loft spacious, but the setup and decor is perfect. Most importantly, this place is pristine in terms of cleanliness. A little bit of old charm, with modern updates. We loved the location, far enough away from being too busy, but also easily walkable (5-7 min) from downtown and all the action. Absolutely would come back and stay here again.
Lauren - Posted: 8/10/2025

It was really nice views had a balcony and that was super nice to go out and sit in and was a little walk to downtown was a great time would go again.
Zach - Posted: 8/7/2025

Great…but not a full shower. If older, you may have a challenge getting into/out of the tub. All else was great!
Joe - Posted: 8/3/2025

My husband and I were so impressed with this studio. It was super clean,affordable,and within walking distance to the new buffalo strip.
Brianna - Posted: 6/23/2025

We enjoyed our stay at this clean and cozy spot. Quiet and peaceful, and a quick walk to downtown, the Amtrak station, and a great grocery store nearby.
John - Posted: 5/5/2025

Perfect studio for NB area. Walkable to great coffee places, the strip, etc. Comfy, bright, clean + deepest hot tub we have seen! Thank you- will return!
Victoria - Posted: 8/4/2024

Easy check in and good value Great space with everything you need
Mariah from Burke - Posted: 7/9/2024

It’s rare to find a spot that is bigger and better than you expected. This place is in a great location, just a few minutes away from everything you need including food, beach, groceries, and shopping.
Cyterica - Posted: 8/16/2023

We had a great stay at the New Buffs Studio! There were a few things to note for others considering booking. The internet service was spotty at best (I was able to connect on my phone but my phone always defaulted to cellular data instead of the internet, same for my husband’s) and the bathtub/shower could pose a challenge for some (it’s a deep jetted tub and stepping in and out was tricky). We also couldn’t find silverware for eating leftovers, but we managed and Dan was apologetic when we let him know. Overall we had a lovely stay and would book again, but not for a period of time when we would require internet access.
