Property was wonderful and an easy walk to the beach. Check in was very easy and had everything needed for our stay. Traveled with family and they had a Pack and Play and high chair available if needed. Beach chairs were also great to have. Would stay again in the future.

Nice stay

The house is lovely and well appointed. We enjoyed our stay. Nice neighborhood. The host is accommodating and communication is excellent. The only negative is that the beds upstairs are not comfortable for adults. They would be good for young children . The downstairs beds are very comfortable. Many thoughtful touches such as beach towels and chairs, games etc..highly recommend.

Beautiful home / Great stay

This house was the perfect size for our large family. In fact, due to illness, we had more than enough room for our family.The house was clean and provided enough bedrooms and beds for all.It might have been good to add a TV(s) to bedrooms.

Wonderful beach house for a group of family or friends

We stayed at Mandy's beach house in Sheridan Beach for a family wedding. We all grew up in the area but now live in California. Modern, clean, well organized house with plenty of space and amenities. We had a hiccough and Mandy and her mom Sue got it taken care of right away. We all decided we would stay here for the next visit home.

Michigan City Beach Trip

Our stay at Mandy’s home was overall pleasant. The location was excellent—quiet, walkable, and close to the beach, park, and zoo. The home matched the listing, was spacious, and had useful amenities like a washer, dryer, and dishwasher. The firewood delivery was a nice touch.That said, we did experience a few issues. The refrigerator wasn’t cooling, and the door sensor beeped continuously despite the doors being closed. We contacted the host immediately. Since they are not local, a property manager was sent over. While she arrived promptly, she was confrontational from the start, escalating the situation unnecessarily. She later returned with a cooler and her husband, who was even more aggressive—belittling us and giving an unhelpful lecture on how refrigerators work.A repair technician came the next day and resolved the cooling issue, though the beeping persisted. We also found several nails in the driveway—dangerous for our child and vehicles. This was reported but never addressed.The home itself could use a deep cleaning and some minor repairs. Future guests should be aware of the property’s current condition and the property manager’s unprofessional behavior. We hope this feedback leads to improvements, as the home has great potential.

The perfect Michigan City Getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home! Mandy was very easy to work with, and accessible. This home was immaculately clean, and very tastefully decorated. The towels were fluffy, and the beds were very comfy! There was plenty of room in the home for everyone in our group. We hope to stay here again!

Perfect for our stay. We had 5 adults and 4 kids. Clean and well decorated but not too many things young kids could get into and break. Plenty of room! Great location to walk to the beach. Lots to do in the area. The host is kind and easy to contact! We would stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Mandy

Host profile image
I'm Amanda, and together with my husband Goran, we are very excited to have a beach house in Michigan City. We purchased the lot in 2018 and immediately started construction. I grew up in Michigan City, and my family runs a building company in the area, so there is a lot of love and family effort that went into every stage of building this home. We have twin girls who are two years old, and are so looking forward to spending summer vacations and holidays with them in this house. We hope that you love it too!

Why they chose this property

Michigan City is my home town, and I grew up going to the beaches in Michigan City. Although work has taken me away from Michigan City, we are very happy to have a place of our own to come "home" to. This property provides good proximity to the lake (an easy walk) and also to my family, while also being a bit quieter than some of the other beachfront rental areas. And it was very fun getting to construct the house for the ground up, building to suit our family needs.

What makes this property unique

New Construction - everything is modern and up to date!
