This cozy coach house can be rented alone, or together with Vacation Station. Flip Flops are a must for your packing list to stay at Bus Stop this summer. This cozy spot is just what a small family or group of friend’s needs. Bus Stop brings you to the heart of the Beachwalk Resort within walking distance of everything across the street from the private resort pool and brand-new sprinkler pad to the beautiful shores of the private Lake Kai. Did we mention the pool is heated and there is a kiddie pool for the little swimmers? You can take a walk to the snack shop and get a soft serve Ice-cream cone on your way to the beach. Pack the complementary wagon with your gear and enjoy your day at the beach, which is only a 5-minute walk from your doorstep.

Cute, Serviceable Home Base
The property doesn't over-promise and it worked out great for our purpose, which was to have a "home base" while visiting family nearby. While the kitchen and deck were great to have, I would't plan on spending too much time in the house as it is quite small! Great deck, relative privacy for the development. The Beachwalk resort itself seems good for families, we were a bit out of place as a group of four adults! Awesome beach access. Certainly preferable location-wise as compared with hotels in Michigan City or other properties with difficult access to beaches and local amenities.

Reviewer Comments:
First, allow me to say that the staff is outstanding!! It is obvious that their quests are their #1 priority. They are knowledgeable, have answers with solutions and are so customer focus. We loved everything about the location of this unit! Location is by the pool, small lake, open gathering area (karoke was a blast), snack shop and short walk to the beach. The reason not a 5 star is the unit could have been updated a bit. However, the unit has everything you need. There is also a lot to do in the area. We will definingly return. Can't wait to return and we would stay in the same unit!!

Love this resort!
When we pulled up, we seriously thought this rental property was abandoned because the weeds in the fenced in area, between the house and the fence was completely grown up. The resort staff where you check-in was VERY accomodating. They even (somehow) knew what rental property we were checking into, and each time we went to ask a questions, etc. they remembered what property we were staying at. Super impressive and excellent customer service! I wish properties were able to be rented out a year in advance and you didn't have to book 7 days when booking a year in advance. This area is amazing, but definitely couldn't keep yourself busy for 7 days! We were there for 2 nights and a day and a half. Which was perfect. This rental property is the perfect size for a small family with one or two kiddos. Anymore than that, you will be crammed! The kitchen was updated and the grill was a nice amenity. Bed was not the most comfiest and you can tell they don't clean the comforters or the pillow shams. Other than that, everything was clean. Cute, quaint and very nice location to the beach, pool, playground and the lake. This rental does NOT come with a wagon or golf cart like the description said.
