About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Perfect destination on a marina with water views!

Welcome to the Marina Life! We hope you enjoy the unique experience of living in the center of a marina and in the heart of the waterfront district walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops in downtown New Buffalo!

As our second family home, our condo is thoughtfully outfitted for everything you need to enjoy your stay. The 2 bed / 2 full bath - 2nd floor / penthouse condo sits on top of Pleasure Isle Marina where you'll have water views from any window. With either 2 designated parking spots or steps away from Amtrak, that's only 45 mins away from downtown Chicago, you won't need to think about transportation after you arrive as everything is in walking distance.

Our home has a full kitchen stocked with the essentials, washer & dryer, beach towels & chairs. There's 2 large balconies off either the primary bedroom or living area both with seating options. While we also have a grill - you'll have the option to enjoy some of the outdoor seating and grills on the marina.

If you do want to visit surrounding towns like Three Oaks, MI or Michigan City, IN for outlet shopping, wineries, restaurants, casinos, etc they are only 15 mins away!

We ask that guests do not smoke inside the home or first floor marina. Also, unfortunately pets & parties are also not welcome.

Sister visit to New Buffalo
The condo was very nice with mamy windows and located within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Upon arrival, the code was not accurate, so it was a bit nerve-racking. The owner quickly, so we were able to get in. The condo is a very nice size and offered a nice view of yhe marina. I do feel like the overall cleanliness could have been better.. answered quickly and i

Short walk to the beach- ideal!
Lovely stay, enjoyed the location and the property. My family of 2 kids and 2 adults found the property to be comfortable and not too big, not too small. We had a great stay thanks to a short walk to the New Buffalo beach and into town for dining and shopping.

The ‘twin over full’ was not conducive for our party. Our 6’4 friend had a hard time fitting in the bed and his wife is claustrophobic. The living room couch had to be used instead. Otherwise. The condo was great. Location was perfect. View was fantastic. Thanks

My wife and I had a great time in New Buffalo. This property made it that much better of an experience - we parked out vehicle and could basically walk to all of the local attractions. Melanie was a fantastic host and made herself available for any questions we had. We would rent this place again!
