Management responded quickly to all questions. It was a nice spot that worked well for a group of couples with kids. Nice to have a beach area in back to Play volleyball. A nice walk through the dunes to a nice big beach on Lake Michigan.
The properties were extremely clean and well-stocked. We appreciated the responsiveness of Miller Beach Vacation Rentals team. We appreciated that the properties accepted dogs. Everyone loved the beaches and dunes, and lots of delicious meals were enjoyed. Check in and check out were super easy.
I brought my volleyball team to stay here for three days while we played in La Porte. The house was amazing! There was room for all of us to sleep comfortably. We had pme ty of space to gather and eat together. The hot tub and deck was a huge hit. The access to the beach was stellar. The communication with the property owners was open and easy. I wish i coupd give this place 10 stars instead of 5!
Stunning property along a beautiful dune ecosystem
We all just loved it here, all the beds are very comfortable, everything is in good working order. Communication with managers was prompt and easy. We would have appreciated an orientation book, to minimize hunting for first aid kit; we didn't find it until the end of the last day. There is one or two bathrooms that have no towel racks, so door nobs had to do. We also thought the check in early and check out late fees were way too high. Also it is very important to make sure you obey the strict parking rules, since street parking his forbidden. Understood! We'll most likely stay here again for sure.
The house was beautiful. We had 23 people and everyone had a place to sleep (with the air mattresses). The private beach was perfect although the walk was a little further than I had anticipated. The house was very fully stocked with kitchen items, beach items, linens, and everyday items. The outdoor area was very nice. We used the gas fireplace every night. The property manager was quick to call me back with any needs I had. One of the air conditioners was out but they sent someone out right away to show us how to adjust the other units to make up for the deficit. I would suggest if you are going to use the off-site parking, to get an exact address as we had a hard time finding it from the map. This was a great place for a family stay! Between the beach, volleyball and dunes, we kept busy and made some wonderful memories.
I stayed here with extended family, 14 adults and kids in total. Overall, the place was a really nice surprise! Most everything felt new and updated and it was very clean. All the levels and hangout areas are great for a big group, and the deck and hot tub were a lot of fun for everybody.
A few notes: the rooms have been moved around a bit so the photos aren't quite accurate. The bunk room is in the basement now and top bunks are VERY close to the ceiling...like claustrophobia level! (Impossible to sit up in bed unless you're a toddler.) That leaves a queen room in the walk through space (if you're using the guest house as well) which means no privacy for that person. It all worked out for us but just a heads up!
There was also a bathroom out, which made things tight for a big group.
The walk to the beach is a bit of a tricky one, including one little steep and sandy hill. People with limited mobility will need to drive to (and pay at) the beach nearby. Also note the beach closes at dusk.
A maintenance man seemed to come and go, using the garage, which was a little odd. We received a text once but not each time.
Overall the minuses weren't huge issues and the stay was really nice! We'd definitely return.
We recently rented this home for our church's women's fall spiritual retreat. This stay for our group of 21 ladies was more than we expected. We chose this home for its size, proximity to the shore, and great accommodations. Upon our arrival we were pleasantly surprised to find the house had been recently updated. It was absolutely beautiful...bright, serene, and peaceful!
The cleanliness of the home was great! The attention to detail was appreciated. I love a well stocked kitchen and this one hit the mark. We had everything we needed, even two crock-pots that came in handy. There was plenty of extra bedding, folding tables and chairs for our group.
Communication with the property management company was superb throughout our stay. All and any issues were quickly discussed and resolved. We had issues with the air mattresses holding air, within hours we had new air mattresses delivered. The hot tub blew a breaker while we were using, the service technician was there within the hour of our call, and kindly explained how to avoid that happening again. Thanks to their camera system, they even let us know when we inadvertently left our car doors open outside, after bringing items in.
We even had the honor of meeting the owners of the property during our stay. Their welcoming and gracious spirit were as beautiful as the home they shared with us. Every lady that left our retreat remarked on what an amazing time we had.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!
We had 17 people-11 adults + 6 children (7yo-15yo) The house is at the end of a quiet, established residential neighborhood.
The pros-The house is clean & comfortable. It has enough beds for all of us, 2 full kitchens, 2 laundry areas, a picnic table style kitchen table we all fit around. The house is well equipped with bath towels, linens, & kitchen supplies to prep & serve 20+ppl. The “penthouse” is a suite-bedroom, bathroom, sauna space on top level with an amazing view of the lake. The back deck has a grill, firepit, and hot tub-all worked without any trouble. The sand volleyball court is well maintained w/ soft sand-volleyballs & sand toys on site. The path to Lake Street Beach is a short distance thru sand & dune vegetation, then a paved path. The beach is awesome! Communication with host was wonderful-Hilary & her team always responded quickly and were attentive to our needs.
The cons-There are no ramps between the 6 levels of the home-just stairs. There are no bedrooms or bathroom on the “main”level. One full bathroom is currently out of order. You must go thru the “pass thru” bedroom or go around outside to access the 2nd kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and the penthouse. Several of us got chigger bites along the path to the beach.
The vrbo photos show this house in its best lighting/staging/angles. We were slightly disappointed at the actual lot size & interior spaces. Without hesitation, I would recommend this house for a large gathering 🙂
Pros: We had 15 people for an annual family vacation. House was very nice, well appointed, alot of space and clean. Property management team was great. We had some special requests relating to a disabled child which they readily accomodated. Had a few maintenance issues but they were quickly resolved. Beautiful beach. Miller Beach Pizza was very good. Easy to have grocercies delivered. Large outside deck area was very nice and comfortable. Great to have the guest house.
Cons: not a good surrounding area. We felt perfectly safe in the house and immediate block around us but the rest was run down and not a good part of town. My son and I went to a liquor store and got in on the tail end of a police chase involving 6 police cars, cops with guns drawn and 3 people on the ground being arrested. While we loved the dunes, the only views of the water were from the master bedroom and the loft/game room. The house will sleep 27 but 3 of the air mattresses did not work and the bunk room has no privacy as it serves as the walkway to the guesthouse. The living room only has comfortable seating for 6 people. A couch and 2 chairs. The rest was backless bar stools 2 benches and a few chairs around the table. We brought chairs down from the game room which helped. Kept getting alerts telling us we were making too much noise outside when there were literally 3 people outside talking quietly. They had to come and disable the sensors. We had a great time but the location was a concern.
The host was great to work with and answered questions quickly! The house is beautiful and accommodates A LOT of people. It was perfect for 3 siblings and families to gather together. We will definitely be scheduling more stays here.
Very beautiful house. Just enough space for everyone to spread out. The walk to the beach was a little hike, but the beach felt private and was well worth it.
The property was wonderful. So many amenities that our team loved! The sauna, proximity to the beach and the two kitchens were highlights. It was clean and well-maintained.
We had a great experience at the lake house. Everything was in great condition with all the amenities we could have asked for. Plenty of space and plenty of rooms for family of 12. The master bedroom was absolutely breathtaking. The host company was very responsive and help to make our stay comfortable. Would highly recommend!
Had a wonderful time with family just cooking and hanging out in this beautiful home! Hot tub was a nice spot at the end of the day. Great access to all the sand dune trails. Plenty of room for everyone in our group.
We had a great week at the Miller Beach house. It was spacious and very well equipped with everything our large family needed.
Our only disappointment was the distance to walk to the beach, but the uncrowded beach was worth the hike.
A great house and location to be with our 4 children and their families. Everyone enjoyed our time together as a family for the first time in four years.
With the exception of one bathroom being out of service and nearby location being a little sketchy everything else was a great place at this beautiful house.

This home was great for our group of 19.
Hilary thought of everything, with plenty of dishes, coffee, games and puzzles, movies, bedding, towels, basic toiletries. It was so nice to just show up and enjoy spending time with our extended family. This home was better than we expected and we can't wait to stay again!
Great property for our gathering of 25. Beautiful spot near beach and walking trails. All accommodations were excellent. Only negative was volleyball net wasn’t up which was one of the features we wanted. All else was great!
Pros: Huge space, great amenities, easy communication and check-in
Cons: "well-loved" (some signs of wear and tear). One leaky shower (which we reported)
Great for our group of friends for a winter getaway at a resaonable price.

Nice house
Bad internet service but everything else was great
Each year we look for a place to gather with our kids and grandkids (20 give or take a couple). This was another fun place to make that happen. Lots of space to gather or spaces for more private conversations. We ate, played games, walked the beach, flew kites, enjoyed the hot tub, jacuzzi and sauna. It was a great time!
Great house, great location to the beach. Very close to the Dunes.
Liked the house, liked the location. Checked in on Sunday but on Tuesday the hot water heater failed. We didn't have hot water to do dishes or shower for the rest of our stay. Manager was great to work with and found a Vrbo house across the road to take showers. However, we still enjoyed the stay.
