Updated and great location

The key feature of the property was that it is walkable to shops, dining and beach access in New Buffalo. It was clean and offered nice layout with an extra bed/trundle and 2 bathrooms. The TVs are not streaming accessible and lacked instructions for use and host service was unable to troubleshoot. The house lacked personal touches of a home and included a book of many rules.

A Relaxing and Cozy Escape

We had such a relaxing stay at The Sands! As soon as we arrived, we dropped our bags and headed to Barney’s—just a few steps away—to stock up on groceries for the weekend. The location is perfect, within walking distance to the main strip and Beer Church!The couches were incredibly comfortable, and I really appreciated the welcome binder and the variety of pillow firmness on each bed.The hot tub was the perfect touch for our girls’ getaway!Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Nice house, great location

Very nice place to stay. Close enough to walk to most places. Would suggest to putting a mirror in each bedroom--hard to get ready having to share mirror in bathroom or the one in the living room. Needed blankets and owner responded immediately and brought them to us ASAP!! Hot tub was great!

Everything was great. Place is very clean and well organized. Good location and walking distance to restaurants, a bit of a walk to the beach if you have a lot of gear but also a quick ride in car. Loved that backyard with fire pit! Would stay again.

Great place and location

We had such a nice stay here! Loved the hot tub and fire pit in the back yard. Overall this place was super cute and comfy. My only recommendation is to get actual blankets for the beds as what they had on their was sheet thin. Not that we came their to watch tv but the tv interface and remote need to be upgraded. I would stay there again for sure.

Girls' Weekend in New Buffalo

My sisters and I booked this house for a birthday celebration for my mom. We were drawn in by the convenient location (walking distance to Beer Church, Stray Dog, massage, shops), and the hot tub. Everything was clean and the beds were so comfortable my sister now wants to buy the mattress. Slight hiccup with communication on check-in but the vacation rental group was very responsive when I called and straightened it out.

Everything was clean and lovely. Walk to beach was a bit longer than anticipated- so we ended up renting ebikes which was fabulous! Right near the home new Buffalo pedago bikes! Home thermometer was on program so needed to reset often but not a huge inconvenience. Otherwise beds comfy and kitchen was stocked with necessities
