Having the coffee shop at the end of the street was a fantastic bonus. We loved the covered porch and huge sun benches! Great for chatting and hanging out. Guest house was cute, probably best suited for teens and kids. Very clean with everything you could need, would stay again next year! ##### Kathleen K.

The location is perfect. If you bring groceries, there is no need for a car. The beach is a short walk away (even with toddlers) and the restaurant at the end of the street is a great place to bring the kids too. The house is clean and spacious and had everything we needed, from beach chairs to Roku. ##### Will G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David B. Jul 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice house with some quirks We loved renting a house together and being able to fit our entire family there at an affordable price. The owner provided towels, dishes, some kitchen items and also some travel sized toiletries if you forgot them... and I did forget my toothbrush so I was happy to see that. Owner was nice and flexible with us and we really appreciated that. Also, there are two very close entrances, you want to use the one that is all stairs. Much easier than trying to walk up a dune. The owner left instructions for that.A few small quirks - the fridge and freezer won't stay closed consistently so you really have to check on it if you want your items to be cold. The first night we were there, a mouse chewed through a ziplock of granola that we had on the counter. Also, the thermostat was set to go up to 77 during the day at different times. ##### David B.

The home's open floor plan lends itself to just hanging out, cooking meals, watching TV, and catching up on the U-shaped window seat. The guest cottage is a great place to go for those who need a little seclusion. There's plenty of beach toys and gear for all ages, and a nice fire pit to gather around in the evening. The host is very responsive and helpful with any issues that come up during your stay. Can't wait to come back again!! ##### Linda S.

The house is very well stocked with supplies. Had every kitchen utensil we needed and lots of beach toys and furniture. A very short walk to the beach made it all the more enjoyable - you did not fret if you had to walk back to the house for anything. Martin is a great host and we hope to stay at the Owls Nest again someday. ##### Dan H. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa S.

My mom had her own space in the guest house and the main house was perfect for my brother, sister in law their 3 kids and myself (3 bedrooms). The shed had a ton of beach toys and the house was stocked with towels and everything we needed in the kitchen. Martin thought of everything and was super responsive. I was also shocked to see how close the roadhouse restaurant and whistle stop grocer were, just a quick 5m walk. Hoping we can rent again next year! ##### Sadie O.

The smaller/secondary home was humid and had small bugs, and not 'sealed' from the outdoor elements adequately. A big draw of the home was easy access to the private beach - but it was overrun with 'biting flies' during our stay (first week in June). We're not locals, and weren't aware of this before our stay. ##### Ben C. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer O.

Truth be told, I over packed as I was not sure what to expect. The owners have thought of everything from beach chairs and towels to a more than well equipped kitchen. This place had everything we needed to make our family feel right at home. We are a family of 6, stayed a full week and it was hard to leave. We will definitely visit this rental again in the future (our kids are already planning the next trip)! ##### Jennifer O. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Cynthia Q.

Thee only disappointment was the advertisement for the kayaks and canoe. Who could carry those down the steep embankment. Unless you in your 20,s. My husband has a few disabilities .

We enjoyed reading on the front porch and dining on the screened porch. The kitchen is well-equipped. The beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, toys, etc., made those we brought unnecessary. The wagon made the half-block walk to the beach, that much easier. The shed had ample room for bike storage and the nearby bike routes were well-marked and lovely. All-in-all, we were able to settle in quickly and vacation seamlessly. ##### Elizabeth G. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah G.

We knew we wanted a beach day on the Lake but did not anticipate how much our kids would want to keep returning to it and this place offered that quite easily! We also shopped and ate at restaurants in New Buffalo. The house itself has a fenced in yard and great privacy, perfect for our kids. Also, you'll see in the photos a picture of the window seats. The pictures make this area look much smaller than it really is! It was a constant place where multiple people could comfortably relax. Great town, great home. ##### Sarah G.

Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Beach Cottage A superb place for us to bring the whole family for a week at the beach! The combined main cottage and smaller side cabin easily accommodated our family of 9. There were multiple gathering places - both inside and outdoors - for us to hang out. The semi-private, very uncrowded beach was an easy 10-minute walk down the street. And Martin provided all the beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, and sand toys we needed. We especially enjoyed going down for the sunset every evening. We were just far enough away from the New Buffalo rat race, yet within an easy 5-10-minute drive for groceries or dinner out. The Owl's Nest is located in a very quiet residential area, and we even met some of the friendly neighbors. This was an ideal place for our family retreat, Martin was an amazing host, and we are hoping to return next year. ##### Peter F.

The cottage was perfect for my daughter and her husband who have a one-year-old. The main house is well accessorized, bright, and airy. We loved sitting out by the campfire in the evening and walking the neighborhood after dark under the stars . The beach is beautiful - fine sand but a little challenging to climb back up for us older folks. We found a more gradual public access a little further down the road. All in all, it was a great success as a family gathering. ##### Vicki P.
