Secluded hideaway with amazing views

Fabulous, private, quiet. Two minute walk to beach (literally). Well outfitted kitchen. Favorite spot was the porch! Everything needed for a beach vacation was provided. Throughly and absolutely enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous Beach House!

If you are looking for the quintessential beach house vacation, look no further! The house is adorable and the views are spectacular—even better than the pictures! The walk to the beach is easy—and the beach is beautiful. We took many long walks on the beach and the weather was warm enough (apparently hot for mid-May) to swim. Despite the unusually warm weather, we did not need the air conditioning because the breezes in the house were delightful. We are already planning a return visit in the fall.

Had a great time!

Our family had a wonderful 3 night stay. The welcome book was very thorough and we used many of their recommendations. It was nice to have access to the outside shed for beach equipment. The house was clean and I appreciated that there were little things like toilet paper, paper towels, soap, cleaning products, bonfire equipment, and even some toys for the kids! The view of Lake Michigan was absolutely beautiful too. Overall a great place to stay!

Very quiet and enjoyable

It was such an easy and relaxing stay. No issues at all. We just got to enjoy our vacation as a family of 4. The place was very well stocked and had what we needed and if not, it wasn’t a far drive to the grocery store. The beach was within walking distance and we so beautiful and not a lot of other people. Overall, it was a great stay and we would definitely recommend this place to anyone else. We would also stay here again if we ever come this way again.

Comfy and cozy for Thanksgiving getaway

The view is so calming - I really enjoyed looking out at the lake. And only takes a few minutes to walk to it. We made use of the full-sized kitchen and the large dining table. Beds were comfy. It was nice for the kids to each have their own room. It was chilly out but the home had plenty of heat. Great location. Consider adding one soft chair to the living room. The couch is great though. Will return.

The view!!!!

Best part of this location is the view! Perfect for your coffee every morning. Nice walk to the lake but beware, the sand gets hot and the dunes give you a good workout! The wagon with chairs for the beach was greatly appreciated. Only some rooms have air but as long as you keep doors open, air to 68 and ceiling fans on, the air travels throughout the house. Plenty of blankets and towels to get through a week stay. Loved the binder full of suggestions from the host. We tried the Blind Pig and it did not disappoint. Host was easy to work with and answered any questions I had. If you struggle with stairs, this may not be a good house to stay at. Stairs not a problem? Book this home!

Upset

Went the first day without an operating refrigerator and to top it all off there was a hole in the drywall when we got there and they blamed it on us and kept our deposit. As a Christian family not only would i have told them we did it but i would've asked them if the deposit was enough to cover it. Let's just say I'll never rent from them again! VERY SAD!

Do not rent!

I was very disappointed in this rental. I found the condition of the house and yard unacceptable. The retaining walls keeping the property from eroding are falling apart or missing. The erosion not only impacts this property, but that of the neighbors. None of the bark mulch edging the driveway remains, leaving the landscaping fabric to flap in the wind. Junk is stacked near the garage (old dishwasher, many overturned garbage cans, strollers, beach chairs, etc). Throughout the yard, there are multiple unopened bags of landscaping materials, exposed piping, wires, a pooper-scooper, overturned garbage can lids with significant algae growth, etc. The entryway door handle was covered in grime (I wish I could upload a photo; yuck). Once inside, the musty smell was overwhelming. The dishes in cupboards were dirty (nothing worse than someone else's lipstick on EVERY wine glass), and strewn about with no order. The oven mitts were DISGUSTING; possibly never washed (again, I wish I could upload a photo). The kitchen sponge was used. The eating utensils were child-sized, with only a few pieces of actual silverware. We rented in Nov, yet each bed had but one thin blanket with no extra blankets to be found. The air conditioning units remained in the windows allowing cold air inside. My overall impression is this house is being used as a money grab, with no care or consideration for the property, the neighbors, the environment, or the renters. VRBO should not allow this rental.

We really enjoyed the property. Even though the house is dated, there are a lot of little perks: beautiful view, extra drinking water, coffee, snacks, and clean white linens. The walk to the beach is a little more strenuous than expected. I would visit here again!

Location Can’t Be Beat

Gorgeous view of Lake Michigan from the comfort of the enclosed porch and easy access to the beach. The house was roomy and comfortable with plenty of room for 5 adults and a toddler to spread out. A quick drive to several good restaurants and the outlet mall. We cooked a meal in the fully equipped kitchen, too. A+++++ experience.

Girls's Weekend Redux

Our five lifelong ride-or-die friends from around the country got together for the weekend, staying at the beach house in Michigan City. It. Was. Perfect. Perfect weather, perfect spot. 10/10, would book again. We loved that chairs, towels, etc. were available to use, especially with the beach wagon. House is super-clean and has everything. Communications and directions were excellent. This was our second year at this property. It was super quiet bc ND and the Bears were both out of town. Perfect!

Summer vacation

Spectacular Views from both the house and nearby beach. While a short walk the dunes and uphill return will challenge you but it will also help you work off the good vacation meals. The one thing I would have appreciated would have been a small bar of soap for the shower. It may have been mentioned in the very detailed information to bring your own. We brought shampoo but missed any memo on soap. No biggie really, went and purchased some. Know this truly is a 100 year old property and the stairs are very steep but once you make it upstairs there is a beautiful view from a sitting room and one of the bedrooms! Don’t put you 6ft plus family members upstairs as the bathroom is really tiny. Our son who lives in Chicago called it an “city bathroom” Overall a very nice stay!

Fantastic home and location!

The location is incredible with amazing views. We spent most of the time in the wonderful sunroom with huge view of the lake. The house is lovely with really thoughtful touches for anyone's needs. My husband and I with our 2 dogs had a great time. Easy access to the beach and quiet residential neighborhood. Perfect!
