INDOOR GATHERING SPACE
Your vacation starts the minute you pull up to Lazy Dog. When you walk inside you will immediately notice that Lazy Dog was designed to allow large groups to be together! Right inside, you will be greeted by a fireplace (seasonal) and large living room (with tv). Open concept design contributes to the spacious feeling and seamlessly connects you to the dining area and kitchen – yet there is more – the space continues out into the back screened in porch and the second living space in the basement.

OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACE
Family tends to spend most of their time in the screened in porch, enjoying the outdoor furniture and 8-person outdoor table while overlooking the woods! The best part is sipping coffee on the back porch in early morning, watching the deer run through! Make memories with family and friends! Did we mention the fire pit in the back yard that overlooks the forest? What a great way to end each day, roasting some ‘mallows or popping some popcorn.

Family Holiday Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, our family enjoyed our holiday stay and we appreciated the Christmas tree and holiday decorations. The house is large, and the downstairs space for kids was nice. General maintenance could be improved--slow draining tubs, problem with dishwasher, broken shelf in refrigerator, running toilet, chipped coffee pot and glassware, etc.

Family Weekend
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently stayed at Lazy Dog Dunes in Long Beach, IN, and had a wonderful weekend! The Beachwalk neighborhood is a fantastic place to unwind, with tons of things to do and beautiful grounds to explore. The golf cart was a nice touch, making it easy to zip over to the beach—such a perfect location!The outdoor spaces were lovely, and we really enjoyed relaxing there. While we had a few minor issues (like a nonworking grill and some dust/hair on the floor), the staff, especially PJ, was very responsive and took care of things quickly. We also found a few dirty dishes, but it didn’t take away from our stay. Overall, Lazy Dog Dunes was a great choice for a beach weekend, and we appreciated the helpful management team!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing time had by all of us, everyone that works at Beachwalk is very friendly. The house was extremely comfortable and our view could not be beat. Only recommendation I have would be about our golf cart it was a bit sluggish so it might need a new battery.

Nice Layout, but needs some fixing
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very big with lots of space. I should have thought about the dog dander being present, as I am allergic and had a flare up. Needs some things repaired, like kitchen table bench legs were all loose-my mom got caught up in one and tore her ACL the second night. She then had to be immobile for the rest of the week. Would have been nice to have the community area have a wheelchair and a beach wheelchair foe people to use so we could have wheeled her up the ramp to the second floor of the beach hut. Also the pool does not have a handicap seat for entrance to swim. She would have been able to enjoy that.Would probably choose a different house next time that does not allow animals. We did like location along the woods to see wildlife and have a quiet night time.The golf cart did not work but we got a replacement on the 4th day finally. We still had a nice time especially the kids and will continue to come back but would love to see some accessibility improvements.Would recommend this house if not allergic to animals etc..

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I’ve stayed in 5 homes and unfortunately this one was super dirty. Never liked to keep shoes on but had to to avoid black feet. We were given one towel a person and no beach towels. Beach chairs sucked. They didn’t even clean up leaves in back yard. I stayed here as they allowed dogs was only plus. Basement couch was awful. Most beds not comfortable. Microwave glitchy. Golf cart was very slow.

Family Reunion at Lazy Dog Dunes
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were looking for a place within Beachwalk that could house 3 families and a dog, and Lazy Dog Dunes fit perfectly. We had 6 adults and 5 kids and there was plenty of space. We stayed 3 nights. Everything seemed brand new and clean. There were some toys and books for the kids in addition to the popular foosball table. We loved the screened in porch on the back of the house for breakfast lunch and dinner, and just to extend the living space a little bit. The kitchen was well stocked with silverware, plates and cookware. We used the golf cart to get back and forth to the clubhouse, but the walk was enjoyable as well. We were able to park 2 cars in front of the house and then we had a 3rd car in the parking lot, which is just a short walk away. We loved the proximity to the playground as well. Overall it was such an enjoyable experience!

Lazy Dog Dunes
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property is great for extended family or several families with layout that includes a separate living space, two bedrooms and a full bath all on lower level. However no bedroom on main floor as advertised. Rest of bedrooms upstairs. The place was dirty upon arrival (which has been an issue at Beachwalk in the past). It is a very surface level cleaning done when flipping the homes between guests and this house is filthy and LONG overdue for a very deep clean. The quick in-between cleans are no longer sufficient at this place. The house came with the bare minimum. Not even shampoo or kleenex or Tupperware provided. House has tons of old dirty toys all over it: in family room, basement, screened in porch, and backyard. The worst is not only were they dirty but they were just tossed about and unorganized. Made the house feel cluttered with junk. It’s as though guests keep leaving stuff and they never clean it up or purge. Backyard is gross; really isn’t a backyard at all, especially compared to other properties. The white Adirondack chairs back there are black with filth. The wagon it is advertised as including was so run down it was broken. But management was great about quickly providing a replacement wagon as we relied on their being one and didn’t pack ours. One pro is that the management here is always very responsive and helpful and tries to meet your needs and promptly. The new playground this year is an awesome addition to the amenities. We LOVE the amenities at Beachwalk... this is our third year in a row bringing our family here, but this house left MUCH to be desired and would never book it again.

Lazy Dog Dunes
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 3rd time staying at Lazy Dog Dunes and as always, the house is perfect for our needs. Plenty of space to spread out, a screened in porch where we spent most of our time hanging out and a nice area out back to sit around a campfire. The kitchen is pretty well equipped, there are plenty of chairs for the campfire and they also had beach chairs and umbrellas for the beach. The kids had a nice selection of games and toys to play with as well. The floors are tiled so it does cause noise to travel, but we learned to be extra quiet in the mornings to help alleviate waking up those that want to sleep in.Overall, I highly recommend this home for your stay.Side note: We travel with a group of 4 other house renters and all of us see the same problem throughout the houses at Beachwalk. Be aware that the sand around all of the houses is very dirty and this in turn causes the main floors in all of the houses to be very dirty even on the first day after the cleaning crew comes in. If you go barefoot in the houses or if the kids play in the sand outside, you will see the effects of this dirt on the kids and the bottom of your feet.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time overall, most things were great, clean and as advertised. It was nice and quiet and we had great weather. I am dropping a star because the grill was rusted all the way through and deteriorating and we felt unsafe turning the gas on and trying to light the grill which took us 30 minutes. We did eventually get 2/3 of the burners working, but the grill could use replacement. Also, the back screened-in porch had potential to be nice, but when we got there the mats were wet and it smelled like urine the entire time we were there.

Amazing Experience per usual
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 5th stay with Beachwalk Vacation Rentals! We come during the summer and for New Year's Eve. The property description was accurate about everything and it looked even better in-person than the pictures. The Lazy Dog Dunes is very specious house. The property was extremely clean and maintained! Customer service was above and beyond and this is one of the main reasons why we keep coming back. One suggestion we have and noticed with all houses is the amount of trash bags we get. We cook our food every-time and make a lot of trash. I know that if we asked the office we would've gotten but it would have been easier to just have them in the house. We would definitely recommend it to other people. We are coming back for sure this summer. During the winter stays we are somewhat limited on activities but this time we were able to go out for walks every day and enjoyed one evening by the fire outside.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved getting away from Chicago for a long weekend at Lazy Dog! The kitchen was lauded by my famous chef sister, the firepit in back was lovely, the bathrooms were beautiful, the sceened in porch very valuable because this property is surrounded by woods so there were some mosquitoes, the strolls in Beachwalk were relaxing and fun, the beach absolutely beautiful.The only difficulty was how far this property is from the beach so when it gets its golf cart, that will solve that problem.

Even though it was winter will still took walks to the beach and around the beachwalk community. The house had everything we needed for our thanksgiving dinner- minus the food. Our service was great. Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend this house.

Reviewer Comments: This is a gorgeous property -- very clean, immaculate kitchen and bathrooms, wonderful layout for a large family or even multiple families to stay. Wonderful screen porch off the back... a complete vacation retreat! Our family had the best time staying here and would definitely return. Location is a bit off the beaten path but the LIMO golf cart provided with the home makes it totally doable. We absolutely adore Lazy Dog Dunes! Book it if you have the chance!
