10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
You really can't go wrong with this option. The house is fully equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Communication with Robert was excellent—he was responsive and helpful throughout.The location is great. We visited during the off-season, which made parking near the beach easy. As others have mentioned, it's possible to walk from the house to the public beach, although only one route has sidewalks.Overall, we had a wonderful experience. The price is fair, and the house offers great amenities. The basement is a fantastic space for quality family time. While the house may appear a bit dated, it's in excellent condition and well-maintained.

Interior is casual beach vibe (a bit dated) but all amenities needed for a family get away to nearby beaches.

This was a comfortable home for our family of 6. Plenty of bedding and towels. Clean home, nice area, and pleasant home! We would go back!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2019
This is an affordable, spacious property. It is good for families that need to space and home amenities (kitchen, washer/dryer, etc.) It had all of the basics - plates, cups, cooking utensils, towels, etc. There were actually 4 bedrooms (one in the basement). The finished basement is spacious and has a pool table.
Areas that were not ideal - the home had a musty/unpleasant smell around the entrance and bedrooms, many of the home items are well-loved and could use updating (threadbare sheets in master, kitchen chairs with wobbly legs tied together, older TV, furniture, decorations, etc.). In the listing, the beach seemed to be closer than it was - it is really like a 10 min walk on streets to get to Sheridan Beach (unless there is another secret way we were not aware of - there were no instructions). There is a beach shuttle with a stop near the property if you can coordinate to use this - it is more ideal than walking, especially if you have kids. There is not very much walkable from the property if that is something that is important to you. Communication with the property owner needs to be on phone, emails were not responded to. He did answer the phone when called.
Opportunities that would be helpful that we've experienced at other VRBO properties - it would be helpful if there was a binder that had local information, how to get to the beach, local restaurants, etc. Also, since it is near a beach, having beach chairs, toys, umbrella, etc. would improve the usability of the property with families.
Tips: We were able to have groceries delivered to the house with Shipt, this was really great! They got there when we arrived. We tried the new local Jamaican restaurant - it was great but is cooked to order (slow) and is very spicy. Other restaurants my family loved - Bentwood Tavern and (New Buffalo) - great food and kids menu. Sat on the deck and watched the boats. Sophia House of Pancakes - delicious breakfast and very big portions (share). Oinks ice cream - visited a few times to try different flavors (cash only, busy). Other activities and day trips they loved: we visited the local miniature horse farm, Washington park zoo, Sheridan beach, warren dunes, kayaking in new buffalo on papaw river, exploring St. Joes and beach.
Nice area and lots to do.
