Perfect Location Great Price All Year Long! You'll Love This Beautiful Home!

All completely renovated in 2021 & still looks brand new, this private home in the small community of Sunset Shores is next to the Marina. These three blocks of homes are nestled right by Lake Michigan and have their own private beach accesses for your use. They are perfect to watch a sunset or skip stones. The public beach is about a half mile walk away and is great for building sand castles, splashing in the lake or climbing the stairs through the dunes.
This one level ranch has three bedrooms; two bedrooms each with a queen and one with a set of twin bunks. There are two full bathrooms, one as an ensuite to the master bedroom and an additional full bath in the main hallway. The whole home was remodeled in 2021 and offers all the finest amenities. There is a W/D, D/W, C/A, WIFI, smart TV's to watch your favorite shows in the evening, front patio, outdoor back patio, gas grill and a firepit to sit after a long day of exploring the area or being at the beach.
This is the perfect home for a small family or two or three couples. Close to town and the beach. You can walk to everything and not have to worry about parking. Enjoy the many shops & restaurants that you can walk to in town. The marina is out your front door so plan a day to rent a boat or a jet ski from Oselka Marina and have a real lake experience.
Many people find Dockside Retreat to be a great place to stay while in the area visiting the many wineries & distilleries.
It also provides a welcoming place to stay when in the area for a fall Notre Dame football game.
For those coming for more of the nightlife the Four Winds Casino is about two miles away and there is a shuttle right outside Docksides door that can pick you up and bring you home. The Stray Dog offers rooftop drinks for 21 and over where you can sit and watch the sunset over the harbor.
Dockside Retreat seems to have the best Harbor Country has to offer and we'd love to welcome you to come stay with us.

Perfect House for a New Buffalo Summer Weekend
This house was the perfect VRBO home for our family weekend in New Buffalo. It was cute, clean, perfectly well appointed and has a great location. I would definitely recommend this house for a family or friends.

Great location, great house
This is our second stay at this property. It’s clean and nicely decorated. It’s in a great location; just a short walk to the downtown area. You can walk to the beach, but we usually drive (kids have lots of stuff!). We really enjoyed our stay.

Felt like home. The home was full of special little touches from coffee to s’mores at night. The family was sad to leave. Walking distance to downtown and the beach. We loved our stay.

Girl's Weekend
We had the best weekend! We are mommas, wives, and have 9 to 5 jobs so this was the perfect place for us to get away! Everything was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed going to the great restaurants nearby and walking by the marina. This was a well needed break and we had the absolute best time. Thank you to John for being so responsive with questions i had and making our stay amazing. I will definitely stay here again.

Perfect Family Lake Vacation
We were looking for a house near a sandy beach and lake to visit with our children and 4 1/2 and 1 year old grandchildren. This was perfect. The location was walking distance to the beach and downtown. The house was newly renovated with a lovely interior and plenty of room for all.

New Buffalo trip
Property fit our family just right. Plenty of room, everything we needed. The only issue is there that there are no views from this property. The house across the street is a real eye sore, there were people coming and going all hours of the day and night. However it is only 1 1/2 blocks walk to the marina/lake.

Well appointed home close to everything.
Had some trouble locking front door from outside home. Wound up having last person come out back door after securing deadbolt on front. Was a bit annoying and not well communicated by owners. Other than that stay was great.

Great idea place to stay.
We could’ve we could not have asked for a more comfortable, clean place to stay. Not only did it include all the creature comforts you could ask for, but, in addition, all the makings for s’mores, the sticks, the firewood and the firewood starters. Who could ask for anything more?! Suggestion would be to include some puzzles and games. I wanted to leave a couple of these items but it stated, please take all personal belongings. Since I didn’t want these items thrown out, I took them home with me.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
This property was perfect for our family with two toddlers to explore New Buffalo with the convenience of having a home right in town. We are so glad that we decided to stay here. The home itself is very clean, updated, and comfortable, and the hosts have most every amenity that you could ever need available to you. We loved having the backyard space for our little ones to run around in and the campfire to have s’mores. We were able to easily walk downtown and to the beach, meaning we really didn’t have to drive anywhere all weekend, which is a major plus when you have two toddlers. Thank you John & Jean for such a great weekend! We will most certainly be back

Little gem of a rental!
This was our first trip to New Buffalo. First of all, the town is charming and beautiful. Second, John and Jean’s home was a perfect stop for our group of 6. Very easy to live in and the location is ideal for walking around the marina and into town. Lovely!

We love staying here! Plenty of space for our family. It’s clean and comfortable, with everything we need. Walkable to downtown for coffee or ice cream. You could walk to the beach, but if you have lots of kid stuff, I recommend driving.

Charming and comfortable!
Our stay was lovely, and this home is absolutely charming and comfortable! We couldn't make it on Friday, which is when we were scheduled to check in, so Jean and John offered to extend our checkout time by several hours on Sunday, to maximize the length of our stay at the property. John and Jean were very communicative, procedures were clearly laid out, and they did much to ensure we were comfortable throughout. The supplies for that were left for s'mores by the outdoor fire pit were a nice, thoughtful touch. Highly recommend!
