PERFECT STAY!

PERFECT STAY!We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this home! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The house was immaculately clean and ready for guests. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, from fresh linens and towels to a fully stocked kitchen that had everything needed. Communication with the host was seamless. They were incredibly friendly and proactive, providing detailed check-in instructions and great local tips that made our stay even better. It’s clear they genuinely care about their guests’ experience.The location was also perfect—peaceful and quiet, yet close to everything. We were minutes from shops, restaurants, and local attractions, but it still felt like a private retreat. The walk to the beach was short and easy. We especially loved the outdoor space—it was ideal for relaxing with morning coffee or unwinding in the evening.Other highlights: fast Wi-Fi, comfy bed, assigned parking, and thoughtful touches like local guidebooks.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-managed home away from home. This place truly deserves more than five stars.

Lovely place in a great location

We really wnjoyed our stay. The licTion is perfe t, with a restaurant less than 30 seconds walk from the bungalow, as well as a groceries/coffee shop. The beach is walking distance and you can rent bikes not far either. The bugalow was really.clean with plenty of towels available. The kitchen amenities are limited but enough for a short stay

This was the perfect place for me to "set up camp" while attending a retreat in the area. Close to beach for walks, close to Whistle Stop Grocery for snacks (yum), and close to Red Arrow Hwy / I94 for getting around. Thanks!!

Cozy and clean stay for 2

We spent a Notre Dame football weekend at the Moonlight beach bungalow. Too cold to enjoy the lake but the surrounding area was very nice and quiet. The bungalow was very clean and nicely furnished, perfect accommodations for our weekend getaway. Thanks for a nice stay.

LOVED this bungalow, perfect location and has everything you need to enjoy your getaway!

What a great property, comfy bed, and seating area. The kitchen is well stocked for a smaller place ( Keurig, coffee maker AND air fryer),great rainshower as well. We were here for a wedding, a little cool for the beach but we walked there anyway. The property was lovely- firepit, landscaping, even tho close to Red Arrow highway, we never noticed, very quiet. Would definitely return in the summer months.

Convenient to restaurant, grocery and beach. Walked a block or so to public beach access. Some attractions in the area were closed since the season was over. Still we visited a nice winery, book store and several restaurants and coffee shops.

New Buffalo 5K

We truly enjoyed staying at the Moonlight Beach Bungalow #2. It was clean and well decorated/supplied. Also, close to a very nice restaurant (Whistle Stop) that offered gluten free items! I would stay again. The only issue was the sleeping arrangements - we had four people and it was very tight.

Great Place

We loved the location - walkable to the beach, close to a couple of restaurants and easy access to New Buffalo. The place was a perfect size for my wife and me. Loved the layout and decor. One question: what is up with the private and public beaches? How anyone owns a beach facing Lake Michigan is a travesty. Apart from that irritant, we loved our stay!

Perfect (almost) location

We had stayed at the inn up the road 2 years prior and loved the location near the beach, the whistle stop grocery and nearby restaurant. (All walkable) Daves place was perfect for us because it’s on that same street, in a cute shared courtyard of homes. We were there in September so we seemed to have the whole courtyard to ourselves. Kitchen and bath are plenty large, and sitting area outside was nice for wine and a game of Yahtzee! Only drawback is proximity to the train tracks and thus the 3am freight train. 🚂. Dave was extremely accommodating and easy to reach.
