About this property
Sunset Hideaway - A Beachfront Bungalow
Here is your relaxing, beachfront retreat. The beach is your backyard during your stay with sunset and lake views. The private beach is perfect to view from the back patio, indoor porch, or the romantic swing set. Each room in the home has views of Pine Lake in this "tucked away" home. Enjoy the fire pit outside or the inside fireplace to stay warm and cozy.
A short drive away is Soldier's Memorial Park with a public beach, walking trails, and public playground. Close to downtown La Porte, you are minutes away from local and chain restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, etc. This property is about 25 minutes away from Lake Michigan. 5 minutes away is Fox Memorial Park with a public beach, walking trails, and a playground.
Sunset Hideaway has Wifi, a washer, dryer, and dishwasher. If you need any assistance with appliances, the lockbox, or anything else with the property, please contact the property manager.
This home is tucked away in between a few homes on the lake, but has the comfort of privacy being further away from the main road and trees/ fences for added privacy. Surrounding homes do not obstruct the views of the lake.
NOTE: DO NOT TRUST YOUR GPS. IT WILL TAKE YOU DOWN THE WRONG ROAD.
Head SOUTH on Highway 35 (Pine Lake Ave).
Turn right onto Waverly Rd.
Slow down after you see Closser Ave, the home is coming up on the right after the bend in the road.
The driveway is between 325 Waverly Rd and 327 Waverly Rd. You'll see a green pole sticking up from the ground at the end of the driveway.
NOTE: THE HOME CANNOT BE SEEN FROM WAVERLY ROAD. The home is directly behind 327 Waverly Rd.
You can park in front of the shed near the fence.
The property is small and intimate. It is a single level 2 bedroom home with a combined living/ dining space. Not ideal for kids. There is an attached bathroom in one of the bedrooms. There is another half bathroom off the kitchen. The home features a back enclosed porch with two sitting chairs for your morning coffee. Because of limited space, the kitchen does not have a lot of counter space and has the washer and dryer under some butcher block counters. One of the bedrooms has a jacuzzi tub in the bedroom overlooking the lake.
Ubers and Lifts are limited to none in La Porte.
Enterprise Rental Cars is about 10 minutes from the property. South Shore Line Train (best for travel to Chicago) is about 20 minutes away in Michigan City.

The host and owner were very respondent with any issues we had. The house was cozy and clean. The view of the lake is lovely and we enjoyed watching it snow! Would definitely be fun for a small family in the summer.

Thank you for your kind review. We’re glad you enjoyed the cozy, clean space and the lake views, especially with the snowfall. We appreciate your note about communication as well. We’d be happy to host you again!
Really enjoyed the views and loved the sunroom. It was a nice quiet space right on the water. House was central to everything we wanted to see during our vacation.
The property location was phenomenal. It was right on the water and there was great water activities and very close to town. Would definitely go back again
While the quarters are tight - worked perfectly for a short weekend with our young kids. Great access for the young kids to play in the sand on the beach, and enjoy the sunset on the porch!
We had a wonderful time at this cabin for our short summer vacation. Beds were comfortable and kitchen stocked with everything we needed. The lake was super clear! We explored the area along with both the Indiana Dunes State and National Parks, which were around 20-30 minutes away.
This was a great place to call home for a few days with my spouse! Not far from the dunes, and the sounds of the shore are hard to beat. There’s a couple tips and tricks that would have helped to know, like not using other water when trying to take a hot shower in the house and turning on the sink in the bathroom to get it started. That didn’t make or break our stay and is workable as a whole.
I have to say this was the perfect place! It’s so beautiful and private. Everything is so convenient in the area. Can’t say enough how I would recommend renting this place!! No joke! I can’t wait to go back!!
This was the perfect house for a break from the stresses of everyday life. A calm, Zen-like atmosphere with a simple, yet intentional and functional layout made the house feel somehow bigger than it actually is. I can imagine in warmer weather the lake feeling like it's right outside the back door. I would definitely stay here again.
This cozy lake cottage was perfect for my husband and me. It is right on Pine Lake with a wonderful ake view and spectacular sunsets. Having 2 bathrooms was so nice. The outdoor seating was ideal. It was quiet and safe. Highly recommend.
So peaceful and tranquil. The tub overlooking the lake was the best. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is stocked with spices and coffee for the Keurig. Plenty of pots, pans, and blenders for cooking to your heart's desire. We are glad that we chose this property for our getaway.

Thanks for your review, Noelle! Are you able to change your review to 5 stars? It looks like you may have made a mistake!
Never been to area but dang i had no idea how beautiful. Loved the house zero problems. The lake is amazing water so clear wish we got to spend more time here and outside. We will definitely be back.
It was a great little house. Beautiful view of the lake right off back porch. There was a great paved walking trail right across the street that went around the lake. LaPorte seemed like a great town. Very friendly people. You must eat at Trattoria Enzo. Amazing!!
Everything about this place is amazing. The listing does not do it justice. You feel out of the way but you’re right next to everything. Peaceful, breathtaking sunsets! Incredibly comfortable beds & bedding. I am so thankful I have accidentally stumbled across La Porte. Leaving this little slice of heaven was the hardest part. This was a stay I won’t soon forget! Thank you!
Every time I thought about the need for something I discovered / found it. The only thing we would have liked if there was use of pillow protectors on the bed pillows instead of just pillowcases.
Waiting for dates to open to book future stay! :-)

Lakeside getaway
Cozy cabin on a busy lake. Close to La Porte. Disappointed in VRBO customer service on explaining how to pay for this rental. Caused a lot of back/forth with property manager as VRBO call center was unhelpful.
We took a short trip to plunk down by the water and celebrate our anniversary. The lake is beautiful and clear, and the proximity to Soldier's Park was great to take walks. The home itself has tight quarters, but perfect for a couple. Really all you need. The sun porch was great to sit, read, play the ukelele they had on premises (thank you for that!) and make up songs. We had some confusion about the portable dishwasher since we'd never operated one before, but the property manager was very helpful and quick to respond. It's a sweet little place!
The three day getaway at this fantastic property is just what my family needed. Plenty of water activity fun to be had. House is quaint but newly remodeled it seems and cute as a button. All household necessities one would require are provided. Paddle board and kayaks available for lake adventures. Sunsets are beautiful. Close to town but also tucked away enough to feel somewhat isolated from the city which is just a hop and skip down the road. Loved the retreat and would definitely stay again. I would highly recommend renting this gem for your next family vacation or friendly outing. Thank you and maybe see you again down the road sometime.
The property was hard to find. Google nor Apple Maps could get us to the correct address - this was a little frustrating. Once we found it and got inside, we were pleased. It looked just like the photos; very clean.
The WI-FI information was not updated in the guest info book nor communicated to us, so we had to reach out to the property manager. They responded quickly with the right password and we were then good to go.
Check out instructions requested that we strip the bed, put all towels in the washing machine, and take out the garbage. We did all of this, but if we’re paying the “cleaning fee” this seemed a bit excessive.
Overall, this was a good place to stay. It would have been even more enjoyable if we could have taken advantage of the outdoor area to enjoy being by the water, but it was an incredibly cold weekend!

About the host
Hosted by Ashlan Siford
My name is Ashlan and I'm the manager for the owner. I grew up in La Porte and often enjoy the outdoor parks that our city offers. I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee, running, and swimming. Not only am I a property manager, but I'm also a realtor! I love being a host because I get to share my sweet city with out of town guests and share what our hometown has to offer!
Why they chose this property
The beach and views is like no other. The fire pit, kayaks, and outdoor seating are my favorite features. The Jacuzzi tub overlooking the lake is so serene!
What makes this property unique
Although small, it's a beautiful little home in a great area. Being tucked in from Waverly Rd gives a little privacy, but the convenience of being close to restaurants and stores. It's hard to find a home on the beach to rent in this area! It's peaceful and romantic.
