Don’t hesitate - just book! Perfect accommodations for our family of 4. We had amazing weather and took advantage of the beach, but you never know what kind of weather you’ll get so having the pool and hot tub as a backup was amazing. The shed is stocked with all the beach gear you need. Walkable to the Whistle Stop, close driving distance to New Buffalo, short bike ride to Union Pier (you could walk it, too, but we brought our bikes). A couple blocks from a lovely beach. The house was comfortable in every way possible, truly I wouldn’t change a thing except to have had more time to stay!
The house was beautifully organized. The hosts were very kind and accommodating and would help out with any issues. I would highly recommend this house as a vacation spot. The shower pressure was really nice. The pool was nice and warm. The lake was a six minute walk put the entrance to it was more of a downhill slope with sand, but it wasn’t that big of an issue, but it could be for older people with disabilities.

This property was exactly as described, we had everything we needed at this home away from home and it was just a walk away from Lake Michigan in a great neighborhood. The pool and hot tube were wonderful!

The house is as shown in the pictures. It was clean and tidy and stocked with everything we needed. The pool was fantastic and just a short walk to the beach. We will hopefully be back to stay again.
This is in a great proximity to the beach and having a pool and hot tub we never got bored. Nicely updated cottage, well appointed with plenty of beach towels and cooking supplies. Nice surprise was the retractable awning to keep the back patio shaded. Would def stay again.

This home was quaint, clean, comfortable and delightful. Would return in a heartbeat.
My husband and I both agreed this one was the perfect house for a summer getaway. Pool, hot tub, private years, patio furniture, grill…it has everything you need and in a prime location. Beautiful home and very clean. We will definitely be back.
The house was in a great location and just a short walk to the beach. The house was comfortably furnished. We totally enjoyed the outdoor space, pool and hot tub. The retractable awning added to our enjoyment of the pool area. Provided of beach towels and the storage shed included beach chairs, umbrellas (and beach toys for youngsters). We would stay again.

This house was absolutely perfect in terms of location, amenities, and customer service. We had a great family vacation here and would definitely return!
Awesome girls getaway!! Love the beach decor, and the layout of the place. The backyard was relaxing and fun. The pool is heated, and the hot tub worked great. We really enjoyed the beach cart and beach chairs (I think I counted 8) provided at the rental. Easy access to the beach, and it was quiet. The area has a few restaurants, but we ate in New Buffalo @ The Stray Dog, and enjoyed our time @ Round Barn. Our group had the most fun sitting around on the back deck, playing games and laughing with each other. Thank you so much for sharing your home.
My girlfriends and I had a great time at the house. It was clean and comfy and the pool was the perfect addition. The neighborhood was cute and quiet and we loved being right next to the beach. Instructions for the house were clear and easy to follow.
Great floor plan, very clean, didn’t have to bring our own linens (a first in over 36 years of beach renting on Delaware coast). The best was the short walk to the Lake and gentle incline down to the beach. No struggling with 92 or 135 stairs!
We had a great girls' weekend in this cute & clean cottage! Was a great location & we were able to walk to the beach & a couple of restaurants. If we had acomplaont, ot was only that the sleep pillows on the beds were pretty thin, so if you like a nice pillow, bring one from home. Other than that, it was a great property, the hosts were extremelynice & accommodating & we would recommend it & would stay, again!
We had a short and very pleasant stay on our family vacation. House was clean and fresh when we arrived. The loft area was a little warm, so the kids slept on the pullout couch in the living room which worked just fine.
The open concept allowed for me to easily keep tabs on everyone, and the pool and hot tub were a fun addition.
The beach was closer than I expected and we easily managed multiple trips back and forth throughout the day.

We loved Sandy Shores and would definitely stay here again. The layout is really conducive to a relaxing family vacation and our 3 kids absolutely loved the pool. Location was great, we walked for breakfast and coffee every morning at Whistle Stop. The home was clean and well appointed and Aqua is very responsive to any issues that arise which is great for peace of mind.
