About this property

The Mainstay: Newly renovated, built for a crowd!

This is THE spot to gather, connect and celebrate. The newly remodeled, upscale chic beach home is the ideal retreat for multiple-family getaways, girls' weekends and Notre Dame football weekends! Newly remodeled kitchen, bathrooms & bedrooms! Painted throughout! BRAND NEW furniture, linens, beds, etc! The spacious & amazing backyard includes a pool, fire pit. The basement bunk and family room is perfect hangout for the kids.

New furniture, paint and design makes this home the ultimate beach town escape! We know it will make for amazing memories regardless of the season and we've built and stocked the house just for that! The home is a block from scenic Lake Michigan, take the golf cart out and drive around the community. Due to high waters we do not have beach in our community. 4 miles away is New Buffalo Beach or 8 miles away to Michigan City Beach.

You'll have full access of this large home.

Feel free to reach out if you have questions, but you should easily have everything you need!

This private neighborhood is dreamy and secluded! However, should you choose to be more active; there are trails for exploring, a park close by, and plenty to do in the surrounding towns!

You'll have your own golf cart to zip to the park and around the neighborhood!

We will provide you a guide at the house that captures local recommendations for food and sights and any other pertinent information for your stay.

Girls Getaway
Beautiful house with plenty of space for all the ladies. The pool was amazing. We even used the fire pit area at night. There isn’t a beach but the neighborhood is really upscale with gorgeous homes to look at. There is a nice lake access with a gazebo to check out Lake Michigan views. Lisa was a terrific host and responded quickly with any questions we had. I would highly recommend this property if hanging at the pool and just chilling is what your after.

The Best Family Experience!
We are a family of 15 with 7 children ages 5 months to 10 years. We all enjoyed this property very much. Everything was perfect! The kitchen was very well supplied for our large group. The pool was so much fun for us all, and there were plenty of beach towels for everyone. And we loved having the golf cart so that we could tour the lovely neighborhood and go the shoreline to see the sunsets. We would love to go back next year!!

Great getaway
We wanted to get away for a nice weekend getaway for New Years with the family! This was the perfect home. We had 18 of us and it was spacious, clean, and so beautiful inside. Highly recommend! Lisa was also so responsive for any questions! It was my first experience using vrbo and it was great!
