We've been to New Buffalo several times and this was, by far, the best house in the best location. We traveled with 8 people (3 adults, 4 teenage girls, 1 pre-teen boy), and the room setup turned out to fit our needs perfectly. It was only a few blocks to the downtown shopping area, restaurants (Oink's ice cream!), and a lovely (not-too-long) walk to the beach. The home was beyond clean and well appointed. It had clearly been nicely updated with well thought out details (even the shower doors were soft close). The complimentary packets of toiletries, laundry detergent, and kitchen necessities (sponge, dish soap, etc) were a nice touch and much appreciated. We made use of the games and beach towels. Communication from the host was timely, clear, and thorough and answered all of our questions ahead of time. We would not hesitate to rent through Third Coast in the future. My husband even commented on our second day how perfect it was and said we needed to reserve it again for next year. (The only 2 things that could be improved upon -- but were minor so I did not let them affect my 5-star rating -- were the grill and the ventilation. The grill was rusted enough that we weren't comfortable using it (burgers on the stove!). The 2 upstairs bedrooms were much warmer compared to the rest of the home (which I'm sure is only because of the age of the home). Those sleeping downstairs were wrapped in blankets and those upstairs had fans on high speed.) All in all, a wonderful stay!
