Great location with easy access to the beach! It was perfect for our family of 3, especially with it being our first beach trip with a toddler. The home was as described and whenever a question came up the hosts were super responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Thank you for your kind review, Sabina! We're so glad The Grand Retreat was a great fit for your family's first beach trip with your toddler. It means a lot to hear you enjoyed the location and our team's responsiveness. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Our stay was overall very good! The property was in a beautiful, peaceful location with easy access to New Buffalo and Michigan City along with the beautiful waterfront of Lake Michigan!
The property was neatly kept and beds and living spaces were comfortable.
We did have communication issues regarding the use of the advertised golf cart that was available for use.

Lovely house just steps from the lakefront. We stayed Christmas week. The house was unexpectedly and delightfully decorated for the holidays, just like grandma's house.
Third Coast provided thoughtful amenities for both bathroom and kitchen. Kitchen is well equipted with dishes, pots and pans. Bed linens were ample and comfy.
A lovely location and a comfortable home.

They make everything seamless!! And are very responsive. Only because I want to keep it a secret ;) We love Grand Beach. Have been coming there for several years. There is a ton of fun things to do in New Buffalo, Three Oaks and Union Pier!
