Great Stay

Property was clean and met our needs. The neighborhood was beautiful. Private beach was an extra plus. All the neighbors/locals were very friendly. We loved walking to the beach and through the neighborhood in the morning and evenings.

Everything was beautiful, clean, and welcoming. It was family with my 3 and 4 yr old and everything was ready for some fun. Toys, games, screen in patio, and beach fun. The walk was easy for young ones and for grandma. We would definitely plan another trip.

Great beach getaway

We spent most of a week. The place was clean, well stocked and quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed the beach. Was able to walk to beach easily and only a few stairs to reach. We visited the botanical gardens nearby and a few restaurants. Would definitely rent again.

Great stay close to a nice beach

Great stay close to the beach! It was a lovely unique space to stay in. Keep in mind there’s only two bedroom spaces that have doors that close. But it was perfect for our needs and our kids loved the loft sleeping area! We also loved the screened in porch and the various beach items and fire pit! Great spot and we hope to come back!

Great place for a family to get together.

The kitchen was stocked with all kinds of kitchen items, dishes, pots and pans etc. Plenty of beds for everyone. Nice porch and back yard with fire pit. Two good bathrooms with plenty of towels. The beach was great and not too far away. We also saw two small deer roaming around on two days. Wish we had stayed longer.

Nice House

Overall, this is a fine place to stay. It's a short walk to the beach, and the house has plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen would benefit from more silverware and a functioning can opener. Clear instructions on how to use the outdoor shower would have been helpful. We never did manage to crack the code for getting that to work during our stay. But, for what it is, a spacious place to crash after letting your kids wear themselves out at the beach, it's nice. We would definitely rent again.

A house close to the beach

The biggest advantage of this house is that it is only a short walking distance to the beach. If there are any rain days, there is a screen porch to enjoy the day. There was only two of us, but this house could hold many more. Lots of large table games in the basement for children to play. Negatives are the master bedroom has a double bed, not a queen, which we are use to. Also, the second bathroom in the basement is far from any bedrooms. However, if the goal is to visit the beach daily, this house is well positioned.

Family Vacation

What a great place to stay! So clean and comfortable- and such a short walk to the beach! It was perfect for me and 3 young adult kids- husband and oldest child couldn’t make it. We had more room than we needed, but that’s not a complaint. My kids and I had fun with the foosball table, too. Great location, close to everything and we had all we needed to make food and enjoy the fire pit for s’mores on our last night. We hope to revisit in the future!

Great beach cottage

Our family loved this home! The proximity to Long Beach was great, an easy walk even with our three kids. Michigan City was a great town and we loved also being so close to the Indiana National and State Parks.

beyond expectations!

We booked this place to have friends come visit us in Michigan City and it went beyond our expectations. The purpose of the stay was mostly a place for our friends to sleep and the place was bigger than anticipated. The upstairs loft had plenty of space and the beds were all made for us which was really nice to be done. Communication with Ed was extremely prompt. We will be booking this place again!

Enjoyed the beach

We really enjoyed our stay. The best thing was the walking distance to beautiful beach. The only safety issue I noticed was the stairs from the loft down . It is not safe for younger kids and elders. Other than that we love the place and all the amenities and beautiful area. Thanks much.

Great location and comfortable home.

Loved the backyard and screened in porch. Nice easy walk to the private beach on Lake Michigan which is beautiful. Kitchen is well-stocked and there are plenty of toys and games for kids of all ages inside or out. The loft is charming and the house is comfortable; only has one bedroom though. Lots of stairs. Owner is very helpful. Lovely neighborhood. Good shopping close by and restaurants.
