Wonderful New Buffalo abode
We had a great time at this property in New Buffalo. The location was great - just know that in order to get to the beach and downtown, you need to walk around the marina. There is no cut through. The house was very clean and well maintained. There were plenty of starter supplies like towels, shampoo, dish soup, etc. The house didn’t include basic pantry items, but the listing was very clear on what was included and what wasn’t. The hot tub was fantastic - it was extremely clean and functional! Our only note for improvement would be better lighting. There was only one lamp in the master bedroom, so lighting was low, the basement overhead light was missing a pull string to turn on, and we couldn’t find outside patio lights for the hot tub. Small minor opportunities for improvements. Overall a wonderful property, great location, clean, and affordable. We would absolutely stay here again!

We can not say enough great things about Blue Fish Vacation Rentals. We had everything supplied for a perfect first night- dish soap, paper towels, toilet article supplies, etc. If we needed anything it was given attention and dealt with in a very timely fashion. This was a perfect vacation. Very clean, charming house over looking the Harbor and a view of the lake out of the front windows. We highly recommend Blue Fish Vacation Rentals.

Summer Fun House
We had a great time, the house was nice, key features are the deck overlooking the marina & the hot tub. We were mostly at the beach, only in the house at night. Not a ton of kitchen supplies to cook, bring your own spices! Showers are hot & hotter, no cold water after a hot day at the beach. We had a great time, thank you

Ladies Get Away!!
We had a wonderful time. It was late in the season when we could all get away so "Seasonal" stores etc were closed but we still had a great time. We did have an issue with our stove, but the maintenance guy arrived quickly and resolved the issue. Everything was clean, the beds comfortable and the hot tub was wonderful. One concern was with the unfinished basement: mainly the stairs. They are very steep and not a lot of room for your whole foot. We would love to come back and have already discussed using this same rental again. Thank you

We had a great experience at this rental. It was the perfect size for a girls weekend. It was walking distance to town for the Wine Festival. The kitchen wasn't as stocked with as many things as I am used to at home rentals but we made it work

Upstairs was nice downstairs was ok
The downstairs was a bit musty smelling and unfinished. Couldn’t get the girls to sleep down there. Very minimal kitchen supplies like glasses and plates, no dishwasher. Other than that the bedrooms were clean, beds nice walking across the street to the little deck at night was beautiful.

What a wonderful vacation house!
We have been to New Buffalo a few times before, and stayed in the hotel. Great low key town, just touristy enough. This time we decided to rent this house, and it was wonderful! Worked out perfect for our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids) , plus grandma! House is Exactly as described, clean, great location in town close to everything. Walk to the beach and little shops is 15 minutes. Or it’s a 5 minute drive to the main beach if you don’t want to walk. The kids loved the hot tub, when it needed repair, it was fixed within the hour! Communication was great any time we had a question. The kids didn’t want to leave after our 5 night stay. We hope to go back again!

Weekend getaway pro/con
Pros: Overall, clean. Great location. Hot tub clean. Cons: Bring your own pans/utensils bc they do not have everything. And the beds- two thumbs down. The beds were absolutely terrible. Two of three bedrooms beds were clearly very old and past their prime (visibly sunken in middle). Three of the four of us woke up with severe back pain the two nights we were there and had to attempt to sleep on the couches, because the bed quality was atrocious.

Nice property.
We really enjoyed our stay. Nice location. Very comfortable. Two things we thought should be addressed. The back door does not seem to lock. We just locked the screen door, weren’t too concerned. The other thing was that there was no electricity in the bathroom. Since it was just the two of us I used a bedroom to get ready. The hot tub was very enjoyable!

Picture and communication
The picture of the gate across the street was deceiving as you cannot get to the beach from there. My husband called and left a message the day ouf our check in, he asked for a phone call back but never received one. That was disappointing.

Ok Stay
Location is great, however a few things really need to be addressed. The back porch railing is rotting and not stable. A huge concern for young children. There is a large television down in the basement that is shown in the advertised images that does not work. Several knobs on the gas oven do not work. We had to purchase trash bags and toilet paper as not enough was provided for a week stay with six known guests. To access the back porch from inside the home, you must awkwardly go through a bedroom. Overall shabby interior. Priced too high.

New Buffalo July 2019
The town is great. Plenty to do. The Inside of the house in general was okay. Check in was easy. There is no beach/lake access. You have to walk quite a distance to get there. The outside was not clean. Area around the hot tub is dirty. Hot tub was dirty. The pictures do not match this at all. Inside was clean. When we arrived we had to change light bulbs in quite a few rooms. We had to take bulbs from unused areas and switch to kitchen/bedrooms. Basement is unfinished. It did have a couch and ping pong table. You have to park in the back of house. Basement doors were very hard to shut/ lock. We had a door knob come off in our hands. The deck on the back of the house is UNSAFE. It appears to be rotten. I wouldn't let anyone near the edge. The knobs on the gas stove are broken. The kitchen is not stocked very well at all. If you are planning on cooking, bring your own utensils/pans. Overall for the price charged for this location I was very disappointed. I would look for a different property.
