I decided to take my adult children on a mini vacation for some family bonding time. This was the perfect place, we loved everything about this house. It was perfect, very accommodating and so close to everything. The owner's recommendations were spot on. We enjoyed time at the beach during the day and game time and movies at night. Do yourself a favor and stay here for getaway.

Great place in New Buffalo!

We really enjoyed our stay! Great location in a quiet neighborhood, with lots of space. We loved the sunroom. The yard was big, though the weather didn't really allow us to use the outdoor spaces. House is located close to the beach and downtown. Great place!

We Didn’t Want to Leave

Sheilah’s place was perfect!! From the moment we stepped in the house, it smelled like a brand new home and was the cleanest place we ever stayed. She had everything you could possibly need & so many extras that we enjoyed. We had some family ping pong matches, played “Clue “, and would have used the fire pit if it hadn’t rained. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch! The private beach was also so special!! We’d definitely stay again!

This is our fifth time staying at Sheilah’s place, and every time the house is even nicer than the last time. Sheilah’s cleanliness and attention to detail are second to none, and I never cease to be amazed at how she is always upgrading the place in both big and small ways.

Annual 5 Girl Cousins Get Together

The size of the home and location was perfect for our cousins get together. Walking to shops and restaurants was great. Our favorite spot in the home was the 3 seasons room. We had a couple things come up and our host responded instantly and they were taken care of. She was wonderful. We are already booking for next year.
