Downtown bungalow near beach

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 169 reviews5 months ago

This was one of the best airbnbs I’ve stayed in! It was a beautiful house with plenty of beds and rooms. Everything was clean and easy to find. It was a beautifully taken care of older home: clean, solid, and plenty of space. We appreciated how close it was to everything and how peaceful it was. We’ll definitely be back for future girls weekends!

Bright Beach-Community/Winter Wonderland Cottage

4.74 out of 5 average rating, 105 reviews8 months ago

Louise's house is magical. I've never felt more at home in an Airbnb. The minute you open the door, you are surrounded by the beautiful colors in her gorgeous fabrics and rugs. Louise has thought of everything-from lots of towels (high humidity area and longer drying time), an incredibly well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and lots of different seating areas and options. The screened in porch is beyond relaxing. Early mornings on the porch, listening to the birds, was my favorite way to start the day. The neighborhood beaches (15 minute walk) were private, quiet, and beautiful. Sunset at Stop 39 is the best. The beach town of New Buffalo is only a 10 minute drive, with fun rooftop restaurants and a larger beach. A farm for blueberry picking is also close by. We hope to return to Louise's again!

Dunes Beach Retreat House

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 132 reviews8 months ago

We had a great time! The house was very clean, the neighborhood was quiet, close to a lot of areas we wanted to see. There was plenty of space for us all to do our own thing and not disturb each other, but also space for us to all gather together. Linda had great recommendations and was an excellent communicator!

Dunefarmhouse Modern Country Escape

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 394 reviews2 months ago

Laurel's modern, beautiful and cozy home in the woods is the perfect getaway to relax and restore. There are trails right out the door to explore and enjoy the trees and fields. We were greeted by a blanket of snow and saw families of deer as we walked. After, we spent time by the fire puzzling and playing games. The kitchen is well equipped for shared meals. Laurel is an amazing and responsive host. We have been before, and we will be back again! Thank you Laurel!

Vale of Paradise: 5min to Downtown, 20min to Dunes

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 93 reviews1 month ago

The space was clean, comfortable, and overall a nice place to stay. It had everything we needed. The pictures are reflective of what you'll find. Lyndsay's communication is amazing - very fast, kind and helpful. Lyndsay has labels on everything making it easy to find items in the kitchen as well as figuring out the light switches. Would recommend her home without hesitation.
