Lindsay - Posted: 7/2/2025

Beautiful home in an adorable neighborhood. Close to the lake.
Melissa - Posted: 10/14/2024

Our stay last week was fabulous. The location was perfect for our excursions in the area and an easy walk to the beach for sunset. The cottage was very comfortable with easy check in and great communications from the host. Really liked the screened in porch and the yard. We had some perfect weather to sit out and enjoy the night. Very clean, well equipped kitchen, beds were comfortable - everything we needed was there. We will definitely be back.

Loved our stay! Private beach was lovely - quaint little street.
Alexandra - Posted: 9/9/2024

Great house and location, we had a wonderful stay! Everything you need for a relaxing and fun beach vacation.
Justin - Posted: 8/10/2024

Great location to walk to a beautiful beach. The wagon in the shed was a great help for taking things to the beach! The house was cute and comfortable.
Christina - Posted: 7/27/2024

This is a great place to stay! It was awesome having beach access right down the street and we made extensive use of the front and back porches. The amenities, communication, and cleanliness were all top notch! Highly recommended!
Neil - Posted: 7/13/2024

Cottage is clean and well-equipped, in a quite location, and the access to a private (association) beach is a big plus.
Paul from MECHANICSVILLE - Posted: 7/9/2024

Wonderful home on a quiet street and a short walk to the beach. Outdoor areas (front porch, back screened porch, and backyard with fire pit) are all just great.
Chris - Posted: 7/6/2024

great beach cottage

The cottage is clean, bright and well-equipped, in a quiet location with access to a private (association) beach. Hope to be back next year.
Paul - Posted: 6/30/2024

What a pretty little home in just the right spot in Lakeside! Everything brand new! We loved the screened in back porch to relax and do a puzzle and the comfy living room to watch movies at night! Great communication!
Steph - Posted: 5/27/2024

i came in for a family wedding & the location was PERFECT. It was so peaceful, clean & a very cute cottage. It met my needs & more. Dan & Leann were extremely responsive. Great little getaway!
Paula - Posted: 10/9/2023

Great communication, loved the "extras" like the toiletry kits and the kitchen necessities, and the snacks were a great touch!Great home with quick access to a fantastic beach.The private beach access and the outdoor shower to wash off the sand after visiting said beach!
Jennifer - Posted: 8/17/2023

The house was great. Very clean. Communication was quick & questions were answered in a timely manner. Check-in & departure were very easy. Serenity Cottage was just the right amount of space for our family of 4. The location was quiet, close to the beach & a quick drive to DT New Buffalo.
