Great base for exploring the area and reconnecting
The neighborhood deer paused their grazing to greet us. Adequate parking in drive and down the block. We grilled dinner and planned our tours of Michigan City, Botanical Garden, Winery, Brewery and Dunes. Puzzles and games, chatting and even sleeping.

Just what we needed!
This property accommodated 6 adults and 5 children perfectly! We had everything we needed and more. It is very kid friendly. We saw several deer in the neighborhood which was really neat! It's a short walk to so many places such as the beach, the zoo, a park, a splash pad, restaurants, etc. We loved Al's Grocery store, too. We were barely home before discussing booking again for next year.

Family Weekend
We had great time to visiting on Memorial day weekend! Our group of 8 was comfortable, even with a day of rain .. and I'm pretty sure no one actually used the game room. The house is in a neighborhood but is set back in mature trees that blocked the neighboring homes. It is a short walk from Lake Michigan and to the park. Todd was a great host responding to questions quickly. The property was clean and actually feels larger than the description. Definitely adding to our save list so we can visit again.

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!

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.

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.

The house is huge and can realistically sleep a dozen people. It was well supplied in terms of linen and kitchen amenities. Beach is a 6-7 minute walk and is lovely. We had a minor plumbing issue but the owner sent someone to fix it quickly. This was a girlfriends' weekend getaway and we had a great time.

Michigan city vacation
The house was large and comfortable for my family. There was plenty of beds and lots of space for us to eat together on the deck. The layout of the kitchen was awkward. One of the plugs 2 plugs in the kitchen went out, so we used appliances on a rotating basis. The kitchen was well equipped with all kinds of appliances and sharp knives. There was everything I needed to bake a cake with my grandchildren. It is a short walk to a lovely beach. We had a great time.

Nice Beach Area
The house was clean but the deck railing was a little jakey so I didn’t allow my grandson on the deck. Unfortunately, every queen bed had mattresses where you feel the springs when you lie down. That is the worse when your visit is a week long. I’m not sure the owner has ever slept there but definitely give it a give a try.
