Third Coast Vacations communicated well before our trip began, sharing detailed instructions of how to check in and things to do. When questions came up during our stay, the host was very responsive and helped resolve our issues. The Airbnb was stocked well with items we needed for our stay - toiletries, linens, kitchen items, etc. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

This was our second stay at Steel Magnolia. It was perfect for our family of grown kids, their significant others, and our grandbaby. Easy access to the lake, perfect kitchen to cook in, and plenty of space for us to sleep. Loved that the zoo and outlet mall were nearby as well as lots of places for our daily walks. The sunsets are priceless and it really felt like we were more than 3 hours from home. We will be back again next year!!

It’s great to hear the home was a perfect fit for your family and that you enjoyed the easy lake access, spacious layout, well-equipped kitchen, and nearby walking paths. We couldn't agree more about the sunsets! Thank you for choosing Third Coast Vacations, and we look forward to welcoming you back for your third visit next year! ☀️🌅🏡

We loved our stay- very clean place and lots of space. The walking distance to the beach was also a plus. The only issue was check in where we had the wrong code but they responded to us promptly and even called again to make sure we got in.

Wonderful beach stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! More than enough room for the 5 of us to spread out. Short walk down the path to the beach. Would have loved for a path from the back patio to the beach path but was totally fine to use the front door. We couldn’t figure out to get the water on the back patio to work to wash off sand but we improvised. Condo had everything we needed! Loved the sunsets from the beach each evening.

Beautiful condo in a prime location just steps from the beach. Very clean and updated with lots of room. We’ve stayed at 3 different Airbnbs in the area and this was by far our favorite! Can’t wait to come back next year!!

Hi Molly, thank you so much for your kind words here, I really appreciate it and you know we'd love to have you back any time!

Amazing Home With Direct Beach Access!
This house could not be in a more perfect location. We are avid renters in this area will certainly be back to this rental. The layout is ideal for family gatherings giving each floor its own use, though don’t go here thinking you won’t get a calf workout! The many staircases and even simple walk to the beach are not for the faint of heart but the views from the rooftop are stunning. The home is very well appointed with everything you will need. Just bring groceries, toothbrushes, and a few changes of clothes! Everything else is provided. The Rental company was also super helpful and kind!

We really enjoyed our short stay at Sweet Magnolia. There was plenty of room on the 5 floors. During the day we would enjoy the short walk to the beach on a path in the back. At night we would travel to New Buffalo to dine and shop. Our night would usually end on the top deck by the fire pit! There were plenty of towels for our stay and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking essentials. We made a quick trip to the store the first night and ate breakfast and lunch there each day. The beach is nice and not very crowded. There is a nice public bathroom by the path you take out back to the beach. We look forward to staying again!

Nothing like sitting on the rooftop deck watching the sun set over Lake Michigan. Great property.

My family and I stayed here for our granddaughter's first vacation. The Airbnb was very welcoming and accommodating! We hope to stay here again next year. The host company is well-established, professional, kind, and knowledgable. We hope to stay again next year!
