Fantastic time for a family reunion of 28
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 have 10 grandchildren under 12 years old and 8 adults and it was the perfect place. 6 of the grandkids slept in the big room at the top of the house. It's also much appreciated that all 18 of us could sit at the same table for our meals. And as always the Beachwalk staff is super helpful.

DEVILLEZ Family vacation 2023
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: Our extended family booked 10 houses at Beachwalk Resort Michigan City IN. My family stayed at Austin Dunes Beach House. Even though we had 24 people in the house and Cabana we never felt crowded! There was so much room on each level people were able to spread out and not feel like we were in each others’ way. The house was very clean upon arrival. Amenities available. And it was nice to see some items left behind such as coffee filters. Dishwasher tabs. Paper products. There was plenty of kitchen items and grill tools to make family cooking very comfortable. It was a great location quick walks to pool. Beach. Cafe. And Central Park for evening entertainment. It also does not have a neighbor behind so when outside a sure sense of privacy was felt. It was an amazing week with 4 generations living loving and laughing together. Thanks for opening your home!❤️

Beautiful home in a beautiful community
Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: The home accommodated 4 generations comfortably. It was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The beds were comfy. However, the living room couch and outdoor furniture were broken and pretty uncomfortable. It was great having the golf cart and wagons, although one wagon broke on the last day.

House Sleeps Plenty
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very spacious and had plenty of beds for all to sleep. The cabana in the back was very cute and made for a nice separation for those who got up early. Unfortunately the temperature control was challenging. It was either way too cold or way too hot. Covered porch furniture needs updating as well. Need more amenities in the public areas for the number of people on the resort. Only 3 ping pong paddles for two tables? Is there a place for a pickleball court?

Gorgeous Property
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: Our four children and their families joined us for a week at Austin Dune. We had stayed there 8 years ago and loved it. The accommodations are spacious, which turned out to be even more significant this time since three of the days were either stormy or had air quality warnings that kept us inside. The kitchen is well-equipped with every utensil you might need. The use of the golf cart was an extraordinary bonus, especially for the seniors with mobility issues and the preschoolers with little legs. We really appreciated the addition of the pool table in the basement, and the variety of games that were supplied in the living room. Our only problem was handled quickly and well by management when we reported it. A wonderful, memorable week.

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’ve stayed at more than 9 Beachwalk properties and this is a one of the best. Usually we stay during the summer months but chose to spend our Family Christmas at Beachwalk instead of a downtown Chicago hotel. Enough space to be together and apart. Large 20 seat table was perfect for our activities and 9 bedrooms were perfect for comfortable nights. Beautifully decorated and even had a Christmas tree for our gift exchange. Loved it!

Thanksgiving Gathering
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 spent 3 days with our large family and extended family in this wonderful rental, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We rented both the main house and guest house. Both places were very clean, and we had everything we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving feast. They even provided a yummy coffee cake as a welcome gift, which was a nice touch. We had a problem with the oven in the main house, and the management responded in a very timely manner to fix the issue; and even provided us with a backup plan in case they were not able to resolve. Overall, this was a great experience, and we will definitely return!

We were so happy to see our old friend get some love. New furniture, games and pool table really made the difference. Happy to return next year.
