Nice little home with everything we needed plus some! They had beach toys, chairs, boogie boards, a cooler and most importantly a nice beach wagon to carry everything. They also provided the paper towels, coffee filters, garbage bags, dish soap, handsoap, shampoo, conditioner and toilet paper. A nice deck on the back made mornings with our coffee very relaxing.

We loved this cute, comfortable, and cozy house. Very clean. Very bright. Nice towels and linens and super comfy beds. But, our favorite part of the property were the high, beamed ceilings and the outdoor deck. The deck is surrounded by foliage that softens the sounds of the highway. Perfect spot to sit, have a cup of coffee, and chat.

New Buffalo House

The house was great for a long weekend. The yard is big enough to play lawn games and it’s a short walk to downtown. P.S. don’t use the downstairs air conditioner if you stay here in the summer… it leaks and the floor is carpet.

Short Vacation

Well stocked and clean. Power went out our last night and it was in the 90's that day. I was a little surprised that none of the windows would open for ventilation. There are plenty of fans provided but some air would of helped. Overall a great place and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

The place was clean. Location is good to the cute little downtown area. No laundry - had to go in town and use laundromat. Needed a regular pan. We made pancakes and eggs in a wok.

Close to town

Close to town, about 1/2 mile. We rode our bikes in & explored the downtown & the beach. Walked to brewery for dinner. Burger joint across the street. Backyard is beautiful & wooded, enjoyed relaxing on the deck in the evenings. Drawback is that the house is located on a busy road, lots of traffic noise.

Clean and plenty of space

We had a great time, we took our 3 grand daughters with us. Roomy, with large dining room table. Our youngest son and his family rented a place a short distance away so we had a couple of large dinner parties with them. It is worth the drive to Warren Dunes State park, much nicer than the New Buffalo Beach. Would definitely rent again when the grandsons are a little older. Only mistake in the description is there is no washing machine.

It was such a pleasure having you and your wife along with ur granddaughters stay at Auggie's. Loved seeing all the children's books and movies being utilized. Your a great grand father and I'm sure your grand daughters will remember the time they spent at Auggie's with u guys. Love that u utilized the big table. That space was designed with big groups and families in mind. I apologize for the washing machine mistake. Profile was made thinking washing machine would have been installed by now. Glad u guys chose Auggie's.

Great beach house, accommodating owner, location prime, reasonable price, needs adult beds.

Great beach house to stay, location is prime for restaurants and walking distance to the beach (est: 1/2 mile). Owner went out of her way to accommodate. Only down fall is that the beds are very uncomfortable (IKEA futon type), great for kids and the Pepsi machine in kitchen is for looks only. But none of the down falls would make me not want to rent again....I would love to stay again, just time I will be bringing foam cushion for the beds! ;)

Driveway blind spot

There is a large bush with lots of creeping grapevine that obstructs the view of the road towards town and makes it difficult to exit safely

Some pros and some cons

The house was laid out well for a large group. It had a large open area for the living/dining room and a very large dining room table. The house is decorated in a cute surfing motif, with surfboards and wave boards on hand, which made for some fun photos. :) The location was pretty good too - walking distance to downtown and the beach (although a long walk - too long if you're carrying a lot of things). The house is older, but clean. Our only complains are 1) the plumbing wasn't very good (toilet was always over-flowing) and 2) the beds were not very comfortable. The double bed in the upstairs bedroom was quite comfortable, but the double bed on the loft was as hard as a rock and on the twin beds downstairs, you could feel every single spring. If they replaced some of the beds, we'd stay there again.

Thank u for staying at Auggie's. I appreciate ur review and suggestions. I apologize that the plumbing backed up just before u guys left. Plumber came that night and fixed it and took measures to prevent back up even with large groups. As far as the twin beds those beds are less than a year old but I will look into changing them to a different quality because of ur suggestions. As alway, Thank you for choosing Auggie's.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Augustus

Host profile image
This property was purchased for the purpose of deigning a surf house in the New Buffalo, Michigan. Surf houses like Auggie's Surf House exist all up the East Coast, California Coast, Hawaii, and Australia. But there wasn't one in the Third Coast. I wanted to give my customers a real surfing experience whether they surf or simply enjoy the surf and beach decor.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique in that it is in town yet offers private woods in the back. It is a large property equipped with an outdoor shower - large deck - fire pit. The inside is decorated for beach and surfing enthusiasts. Sure anyone can rent a house by a beach. This house was designed to give the customer a beach house and more. What's also great about this property is that you can drive up and park your car and leave it until it's time to leave New Buffalo. Walk to beach during day with provided surf boards and boogie boards. Stop by Third Coast Surf Shop and pick up some surf apparel. Hang out at the surf house after. Do some grilling on the deck. Then, at night, head out on foot to popular places like Redamacks, Stray Dog, and Buffalo Bills Bar-B-Q and more.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits to Auggie's Surf House in addition to all the amenities like deck, outdoor shower, fire pit, DVDs, books, grill, hammocks, is the feeling you will get when your there. You will feel like your part of something special. Your not just staying in a hotel room or house. You really feel like your on vacation.
