This vacation home was perfect for our family group. The beach was steps away and it was enjoyed by all. The home itself was just lovely and we were all very comfortable. Scott was so accommodating and a great communicator. Things could not have gone any smoother!

We had an awesome stay at this residence in Michigan city. The property was located just off the beach, as advertised. Everything was clean and well-maintained and communication was prompt and clear. We had no issues with securing the property in our coming and going.
The kitchen was very well stocked with cookware and dishes. We actually had to store a lot of our non-perishables on the counter, because the drawers were full. There was a small Dyson vacuum, available to help keep the sand at minimum. The washer and dryer worked well, although the dryer was quite loud, and we found that the baby had a harder time sleeping with it running.
There was a full stash of games which we put to use on a couple of rainy days. Of the ones we played, none of them were missing pieces. Our children were very pleased with the beach toys and equipment that were provided.
Really, the only major downside we encountered was that the mattress on the king bed wasn’t very comfortable. On our 3rd night there, we went to Walmart and got a thick mattress topper, which significantly improved our sleep.
There was also a book full of restaurants, entertainment, venues, etc. of what was available locally. We have used Vrbo properties several times and this is the first time we encountered such a comprehensive book. We really appreciated it!
We’d stay here again for sure!!

This house is amazing; spacious, clean, decorated nicely, and the patio was huge; bring some firewood! The neighborhood has an old school beach community feel; it was easy to imagine we were on the east coast in Virginia Beach. The beach is just over the dune outside the house and it was lovely; very soft sand! Lots of beds and bathrooms; plenty of room for the family/friends! I highly recommend this property. Thank you!

My new husband and I booked this house as a place to get ready for our wedding and to have a place to ourselves afterwards. The upstairs was perfect for my bridesmaids and I to have a little slumber party the night before the wedding (but it would also be perfect for a family with children!). The house was spacious enough for my husband to get ready downstairs without ever running in to me! There were two beautiful bedrooms and a bathroom for him to spread out in.
First of all, both the exterior and interior were BEAUTIFUL! The house was clearly historic, with a lot of old charm and original touches, but expertly rehabbed and modernized. It smelled clean and comforting when we walked in. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the items we needed for cooking and making coffee, the appliances were excellent, and I especially appreciated the filtered water on the fridge door!
The house is STEPS from the beach and has a lovely backyard for grilling and relaxing. I absolutely want to come back every year (hopefully with kids)!!
One other quick note, I REALLY appreciated the nice hand soap and all the little amenities (a speaker, board games and books, sunscreen and beach towels, laundry detergent and dish soap...I could go on and on). We didn't have a single item that we couldn't find already on hand. It was the best rental I have ever stayed in!

Great time spent with my family at this charming cottage steps away from beach access. More than enough room for my family of 5. We enjoyed morning coffee on the back patio and swimming in Lake Michigan in the afternoon. The property was clean and well equipped with everything you need to feel at home. The owners were very responsive to questions and excellent hosts. There’s plenty of fun things to do in the surrounding area. We enjoyed blue berry picking a few miles away and checking out the local restaurants and shops as well.

The house is clean, well-appointed, and nicely insulated (meaning that the kids could get a restful sleep without being disturbed by outside noises, conversations by the fire, fireworks, etc -- an unexpected and welcome benefit). Direct access to the beach is enormously freeing... no worries about planning beach time, no worries about parking loading/unloading the car. The house is also within walking distance to a couple of good restaurants, park, and zoo. Communication with the owner was exceptional and very cordial. We had a very pleasant stay. It felt like a home away from home.

This property was exactly as it is listed and was perfect for our family of three couples and a toddler and 3 year old. The beach on Lake Michigan was beautiful! The fresh water was a great way to introduce the kids to the beach and it was an easy walk. We also enjoyed the near by parks. The backyard with grill, fire pit and place for the kids it play kept us all entertained. This is a beautiful home to stay in in Michigan City!

My grown daughters and I made this our midway, mini vacation getaway and loved everything about our stay here. Beautiful house, and back patio, so close to the beach and all its beauty in a lovely lakeshore community. The owner couldn't have been more responsive and accommodating. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. We made some great memories.
