About this property

This sunny, charming beachfront home is just steps from the sand, containing 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and features all the comforts of home. Located just 60 minutes from Chicago and 50 minutes from South Bend, this home is perfect for summer vacations, weekend winery tours, and Notre Dame sports weekends. Only a private sand dune separates this home from one of Lake Michigan's most gorgeous beaches, so you can enjoy the privacy of your own yard while celebrating the tranquility of beach front living.

The recently refreshed home features a large open living, dining, and (fully stocked) kitchen area offering sunny, sweeping views of the waterfront dune. Over 800 square feet of deck and 450 square feet of patio space with a large fire pit and plenty of seating offer tons of space for dining and enjoying the beach. The house also has an outdoor shower, an extra den with a flat screen TV, a large private back (sand) yard, and an indoor/outdoor speaker system.

Family beach vacation

We enjoyed everything about this house. It was well stocked with the essentials and was very clean. Easily fit grandparents and two families of 4. Loved the location on the dune and the incredible short walk to the beach access. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Beach House Location

The real charm of this house is the feeling of seclusion, although it is in a pretty densely populated area, and the direct access to the beach. The back deck area is perfect! The kitchen is very accommodating and stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses and cooking ware. Plenty of beach towels are provided too. A great place!

Great location and wonderful house

The house had plenty of space, was in a prime location to the beach and had a great outdoor space. Loved the views, especially at sunset. House has everything we needed for a long weekend stay and the owners very responsive to questions. Would stay again.

Great House on the Lake

We shared this house with a few families and kids and it couldn't have been better. The beach was right over the dune and the kids could play in the sand on top of the dune while the parents hung out on the deck. Cannot wait to come back!

On the Dune

The location directly on the dune is great. The outdoor patio has lots of seating, and a separate fire pit area, which makes for great evenings as the sun sets. Plenty of beach towels and chairs. Our second time at the house!

Great time on the Dune.

A very nice home that was nicely equipped. We have 16 people in our party and there was ample space at the house. It was very close to a nice beach area and good off-street parking available.

Relaxing weekend

This house was great for our large group of adults and kids (ages 1-4). The property had everything we needed, from a well-stocked kitchen to beach toys/chairs to a fire pit. We enjoyed going to the beach close-by but still separated by a dune for backyard privacy. Felt like the property accommodated us even more than expected from the listing!

Great time, great place!!

We rented this for my parents 45th anniversary celebration. 15 of us from 6-68 stayed in the house and had plenty of room and space if needed! Short walk to the most beautiful beach and lots of toys/floats/chairs come with the rental. Highly recommend! Thanks for the amazing memories!!

Family Vacation

Stayed there for recent family vacation. House worked out great. Very clean with all top grade appliances including the grill. Large deck worked perfect as place for family to gather and accommodated everyone for dinner when the weather was good. Just a short walk from the back deck down to the beach.
