Our priority was a fun beach vacation and this BnB hit all the buttons! Short walk to beach, beach was wide, uncrowded, and beautiful. An abundance of beach toys provided, from kayaks to paddleboards, assortment of life jackets, and beach towels! Very clean, great supplies in kitchen. Keurig cups provided, but coffee snobs may want to bring your own beans. Massage recliner and hot tub were a hit. And for the kids both young and old, arcade games! Highly recommend.
Couldn’t have had a more enjoyable time. Games were fun, view was beautiful and communication with owner was excellent. Would love to stay there again if we go back to Michigan City.
Overall the area was nice. The home was a little hard to get to. Not much room to park. I wouldn’t suggest taking a big vehicle. The host was very good with communication and gave great detail on how to get to the room.
Beach is beautiful. Easy access. However there is major construction going on next-door, and the noise is unbearable. Owner was apologetic and allowed us a little extra time to check out as a courtesy but for the price and with old state of house & the noise it’s definitely not worth it. Even without the noise, it is way overpriced.
Just got home from our 29th Wedding Anniversary stay at the Lake House . I would tell anyone who is planning a stay here to book an extra day or two. Sand gravity was real for us as the beach was so perfect during our Aug 7 & Aug 8 visit. There is so much to do and see not only in the town of Michigan City but on the property as well . I could not get enough of the massage chair . AMAZING !! I saw a mom & baby deer from the balcony . Seeing the deer made my whole night ! We made waffles and headed out to the beach to rock hunt , visited the lighthouse , had many great meals & cocktails . This was a 4. 1/2 hr drive from our home in Illinois . Very worth it . We hope to come back each year . Can’t think of any negatives other than it was a little tricky to get out of the parking spot but it seems like that’s the norm in the area . I’m not sure who I spoke to via email but the Manager onsite was very kind & respected our privacy . Next time we will book a longer stay . Thank you for sharing your home with us . The Mueller’s from Illinois .
We had a great time thanks for letting us stay!!!!

The photos are outdated, the outside area is overgrown and not maintained and has a lot of clutter and broken items. It’s not “steps away from the beach” you have to choose a path and the one belonging to the home is horrible, host advises to go down two houses and use theirs but it’s definitely a hike. The balcony is unstable and safety rails wobble. Hot tub is outdated and broken. The home has carpet even in the kitchen which again is older outdated carpet. Entry way is full of storage/junk/dirty linens. Listing says there are two jacuzzi tubs and in fact there is only one but don’t get too comfortable because every light switch is on a timer that annoyingly ticks and you have to keep turning it back on to have lights which was another downside because for 2,700 for a weekend I should be able to leave a bathroom light on for my kid if I want. There is dirt and grime along all the grout and jacuzzi tub. Ceiling leaks in multiple spots including the dining room table while you’re eating. The host is very nice and thoroughly explains arrival and how to hike to the beach oh and parking because you can only have one car but that’s done AFTER you book and pay. Some things and true honest photos should be posted prior to people paying so they can look at other options if they choose to.
This was a great place to stay! Lots of space and the hot tub on the balcony was excellent! Also, being within walking distance of the beach could not have been more perfect! Thank you for a wonderful vacation spot!
Great location with easy access to a beautiful beach. Property manager was very attentive to all our needs. Our family enjoyed our stay here very much.
Perfect spot for our family. The location and access to the beach was wonderful, and we saw a lot of wildlife from the back deck while sitting in the hot tub. The kids really enjoyed playing all of the games inside, which was perfect since the weather was a little cooler. And the host was very responsive.
Affordable (considering the beach location and many amenities), spacious, and beautiful, quick walk to the lake! The property is not perfect, but it has character, and it is a great value for what you get. We would return.
My family and I had a great time staying at the beach house. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The kids loved the arcade games and the hot tub. It was very easy to communicate with the owner. Great beach access, just wish it was a little warmer :)
Wife and I wanted a week to just be secluded with a good location, and we really enjoyed this place! Lots to do, but also still home-y enough that you could just relax. Very good location, close to the beach, very nice vibe. We loved it and would definitely come back!
