Well Equipped & Comfy & Cozy - Definitely Recommend

First time using Vrbo, and overall everything met my expectations. The listing was very accurate and the owner made sure had new appliances, enough plates, utensils, and important home comfort and TVs in all room. Very impressed with cleanliness and upkeep. We had a bunch of 18 year graduates staying and they all really thought it was absolutely comfy and cozy for them!

Family weekend

Had a great stay here! The house was absolutely perfect for our needs. Everyone had their own space but still enjoyed spending time together in the living room. The dunes were a short walk away, even a playground for the little one! We’ll definitely be coming back in the future.

Stay at Michigan City

The house was nice, 10 minute walk to the beach and a park. We had some maintenance issues while we were there but the owner was very quick to respond.

Great big house for family vacations

House is a short walk to the beach, has plenty of beach toys and chairs. Nice big porch with natural gas BBQ (no need to get propane). Kitchen is well stocked. Beds could use an update as the mattresses are good for a few days but not the most comfortable.
