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!

Girls weekend

Property was immaculately clean. Well maintained, everything in working order. Plenty of room for the 3 of us on a college reunion weekend. Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer!

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!

Second time at this house and won’t be the last!

This house is perfect for a little get away. I’ve gone once for a girls weekend and now for a two family get away and both times it’s been exactly what was needed. Clean, well stocked, great location.

The sands

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great 4 days. The area has wonderful eateries. The house was clean, with the exception of the hot tub. My one concern was the bedding. The middle room bed is extremely uncomfortable. The sheets were uncomfortable on all the beds. The blankets were not really for beds-they were more like light weight throws.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property description was accurate. The property was very clean and comfortable. We were able to take advantage of everying in downtown New Buffalo. The lack of cable t.v. was a bit disaapointing. The 10a check out and the 4p check in was frustrating as standard times of 11a check out and 3p check in are the standard.

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.
