We booked for a week for our annual family summer vacation. Property is very well cared for and bright with lots of windows, We loved being able to access the lake and the national park quite easily. Elena was a very good host and proactive with her communication. Highly recommend!

Loved the king size beds, expansive kitchen, and amazing artworks throughout the house. Lake Michigan is visible from the house, and just a short walk to the beach. A five minute drive takes you to Indiana Dunes National Park with miles of trails and more beach front.

Large spaces for gathering of 9 adults, big dining/game table between kitchen & lounge.. Plenty of bedrooms & baths. Easy walk to the beach. For Handicapped adults many steps to navigate in the home, but doable. Great kitchen for multiple cooks to share in preparation & clean up. Great appliances. Enough dinnerware & silverware to serve twice as many lodgers. But strangely only 6 teaspoons.

Our family of 7 stayed and enjoyed thoroughly. Not only is Elena most accommodating, her home is beautiful and comfortable. Lots of room for everyone to have their space if wanted. Short walk to the most beautiful beach. To say this was a great family getaway is an understatement as it was above and beyond my expectations.

We had a great time at this house. Other than a little hiccup at check in everything else was fine. The 3 bathrooms in the house are upscale. Full body shower was amazing. Other than sleeping we spent most of our time on the patio. Weather was great. Mentioned to Elena about how nice it would be to have a firepit on patio. Would stay there again if we are back in that area.

Beautiful place and very well appointed. Large private patio off the back with multiple sitting areas. Landscapes lended to the peacefulness. Then there’s the beach with the entrance path just across the street. Elena was great with instructions to get in and quickly answering our questions. Strongly recommend.

We came here to celebrate my daughter’s Sweet 16 and had absolute amazing time. The home was comfortable and clean. It is very spacious and allows for you to move around the home freely. The girls loved it and have already asked to go back again! Elena was simply wonderful. I will definitely be back. Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your home!

Loved staying in this beautiful home with lots of space and amazing vibes. Booked it for a women’s retreat and all of the ladies felt very comfortable and “at home”. The host was wonderful!! Hope to stay here again!

Perfect location to enjoy the beach and visit the Indiana Dunes! The house is super close to the beach access and our kids loved walking the beach every day. It was an easy trip over to Chicago and South Bend, and we spent a day enjoying the Indiana Dunes NP. The host was very accommodating and friendly. She was responsive in her communication and sent recommendations of restaurants and other things to enjoy in the area. We look forward to staying here again!

The owner was very easy to communicate with. The many beds are comfortable. The kitchen is fantastic and well-stocked with dishes, pots, pans, etc...we even hosted Thanksgiving for 10 people comfortably. The décor is modern and new with interesting artwork around every corner. Teens loved their space downstairs while adults hung out upstairs. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay literally steps from the beach. Well equipped kitchen and really comfortable beds. We enjoyed the large dining room table for gathering and we used the round table downstairs for cards. The patio is nicely secluded and private (even though the neighbor is close). The patio has a big picnic table, mood lights and a cozy couch. We could hear the waves from the patio and spent quite a bit of time out there! We found a gate for the stairs (toddler) and it worked great for us. The beach blankets and toys were a nice touch. Just a five minute drive from Indiana Dunes State Park. Also, there is a good pizza place just a couple of blocks away that we ordered from twice when we weren't cooking in the lovely kitchen. If I were to change anything it would be the couple of toe stubbers in thresholds where the floors don't quite match (we put a bright colored paper on the floor to remind us) and add curtains in the downstairs bedrooms. As a family we have stayed in many vacation homes and this was one of the best! Will return!

Very nice atmosphere in home. Had everything we needed and with a nice layout. Lots of room and comfortable. Loved the closeness to the beach!

We received detailed info on how to access the property, along with accurate property details. It made it easy to get in/out. Home was as described, clean and airy. A great property for large families and friends!

We had a truly wonderful time here! Elena was warm, kind, and extremely responsive. The beach is incredibly close. The house was well-appointed, clean, and inviting. Everything was really just exquisite!

The house is in a slightly secluded location but wasn’t too bad, had a few of nice restaurants and a Walmart within about 20 mins. I think it was 30 mins to the Hard Rock Casino. The house has a ton of space for hanging out, a huge table for group meals etc. There are some good views, the beach is super close and really nice. We went out to the beach multiple nights although I think it’s supposed to be closed at night. It’s a very nice quiet neighborhood. Plenty of parking we had 3 cars and a large pickup with plenty of space. So 5 cars could probably fit fine. There are a few steps from parking down to a really nice patio with nice mood lighting and a good bit of seating that the host provides cushions for. They have a fairly nice propane grill but it’s not on the patio, it’s on the side of the house down a pretty tight staircase. But it’s still accessible and easy to use. The patio is however just off the very nice kitchen and one of the bedrooms also has a sliding glass door to the patio. The outside shower is really nice for cleaning up after the beach and the entire house has an incredible hot water heater and large spacious showers. At one point we had all three showers going for probably 20-30 mins at least and no one ran out of hot water at all. Water pressure decreased slightly but hot water held out no problem. The host was super responsive and pleasant. Gave us recommendations for restaurants etc. for sure try Taquilla and Tacos. Great tacos and strong drinks. Checkout procedures were very reasonable and easy. For sure would stay there again!!! I paid for my group of 10 adults 24-37yo and all of them were super impressed with the house and I felt like for such a large nice space for a great price.

House was great for our family of 8. Beds were comfy and house is fully stocked with everything you would need. There is a very short walk across road to Miller Beach. Nice family trip!!!

Can't beat the location if you want to be close to the beach, but the house could use some improvements to make it a 5 star stay. The Good: Great location, super short walk to the beach Bathrooms are updated and clean Updated kitchen is nicely laid out, clean, and well-equipped. Dishes and glassware were in good condition and there are plenty of them. Mattresses are very comfy and sheets were soft Towels are white, fluffy, and clean, and they look fairly new The house layout provides nice separation for bigger families/groups Basement is bigger than it looks in the pics - there are 2 lounge areas plus a table with chairs, and a small wet bar with a mini fridge Outdoor shower is great to rinse off after the beach Outside spaces are nicely landscaped and have plenty of seating Plenty of toys, a wagon, floats and pool noodles, 3 umbrellas and 4 folding chairs for the beach are in the garage - a couple more chairs would be nice. Owner was very responsive via text to all my questions and seemed to be very on top of taking care of any issues Hand soaps, toilet paper, sponges, dish soap, paper towels are provided. There was also bar soap, makeup remover wipes, and Poopourri in the bathrooms. Neighbors were friendly and nice The Bad: The only TV in the house is in the small lounge area on the lower level Couches, chairs, and bedspreads need a cleaning as they had quite a few stains The grill is situated in a small cramped area down a few steps between the house and the neighbor’s house, so we didn’t use it, but it looked new and it’s a good size The house next door is very close Lower level does not have an easy exit in case of fire. The back door has been sealed shut, and the garage is closed with a latch and padlock. No beach towels are provided Flooring changes height (approx 1-1.5”) in several areas of the house, which is a tripping hazard Strong musty/mildew-y smell throughout house Lower level bedrooms don’t have blinds or curtains Limited space for hanging towels in the bathrooms No blinds or curtains in the kitchen or living room A/C seems undersized and the house was warm on the hottest days we were there (temps in the mid 90s) Owner asks for 2 loads of towels to be washed/dried and folded before checkout No bathtub in the house

Elena's home is so nice and had a lot of amenities. She was prompt and helped us out tremendously. A beautiful view from their house.

This property is situated perfectly next to a public but very private beach access path and it contains all the amenities to support time at the beach including a wagon and buckets for sand castles. It's laid out well to keep the sand outside including an outdoor shower to rinse off. The other highlight of the property is the big cozy beds that are really nice and typically had to find in a rental. We had a large group of 9 (5 kids 4 adults) and slept really well. Downsides of the property are that it is much more worn than the pictures show. It's evidence that it's a heavily utilized rental which is understandable but some things like the couches and chairs could be updated. The water pressure was weak and electric were kinda strange but I think it's an infrastructure issue more than the house. There is only one TV which may be good or bad depending on your perspective. The neighborhood is pockety. There are beautiful homes in the neighborhood but trying to find restaurants or groceries nearby is a pretty ghetto experience. Plan to have to drive about 20-30 min for anything other than pizza. I would rent it again. It really was convenient, clean, and the beds were cozy.

I absolutely love this rental. The property is amazing and spacious. Everything is top of the line. I appreciate how the owner takes the time to explain everything about the property. 3 full bathrooms plus and outdoor shower!!! She is so generous with allowing us to use all beach items too!

This is a great house for family and we were about 25 feet from the beach. The house is lovely and the property owner is fantastic. I only wish we had a fire pit to roast s’mores!

We had ten women stay for my cousin’s bachelorette and this place was beyond perfect. If you want a lake house but are burnt out on seeing super-expensive, dated places with the same cheesy, generic beach decor — tchotchkes, turquoise pillows, etc — THIS is your place. It’s special. I don’t know Elena’s background but this is the home of an artist. Every inch of it is thought-out and curated, from the beautiful, natural, high-quality materials to the plant sculptures to the abundance of original art. It’s giving understated luxury… warm, comfortable minimalism. It’s bigger than it looks in the photos. Very clean. The open concept kitchen and dining area is heaven to cook in and has every pan and platter you could possibly need. The beach is literally across the street and can be seen from the windows so don’t let the desire for beachfront deter you. I am sincerely inspired to level up my decorating after staying there. And Elena - love her! She could not have been more responsive or helpful. Even suggested a good resto - The Goblin and Grocer. I can’t recommend this property enough and hope to return. Thank you, Elena!

The property was perfect for 7 adults to stay comfortably. We loved the kitchen, the backyard, and the proximity to the beach!

We enjoyed a short family getaway almost right on the beach. Enjoyed walks exploring the area and grilled on the BBQ and dined in the spacious dining room. Everything was immaculate and communication very good. Some wifi problems but that was not the owner’s fault as there was an area outage after some high winds. I recommend this for larger groups wanting to experience the beaches and dunes.

We had a great time spending our weekend at this property. Located very close to a beach, this property provides a great get away from the city. You can even see the lake and Chicago skyline through the main windows. Thank you for allowing us to use your property. Just an FYI, Keep your toes safe from small step in the basement.

Don’t let the “Gary, IN” fool you. This is a beach house 1 block off Lake Michigan where you can see the lake from the house. Super safe, neighbors friendly, groups walking in the morning. We did walks on the beach two miles each way, and skipped stones on the way. Plenty of space, well stocked, modern, and 1 hour from Chicago and South Bend so you can do day trips. Highly recommend.

Our family had a wonderful experience at Elena's Miller Beach property. This home has it all. Comfort. Style. And a fantastic kitchen. What a delight to catch the views of the Chicago skyline at night and hear the lake on a crisp, windy Thanksgiving morning. Elena offered a terrific local dinner reservation! We hope to stay here again in the warmer months. The outdoor space, beach, and dunes walking trails are even better than the photos.

The Family and I enjoyed the rental property. The home met all our needs during our 5 day visit. The home was clean, had all the imenities we needed during our stay, and was beautifully decorated. as seen on the website. Our Host Eleana was very helpful and responded immediately to our texts. This would be a great home to spend the summer vacation. Thanks Eleana for entrusting your home to us. Naomi
