Great family house & beach location
Could not have been any closer to the beach - amazing! Perfect for our family of 16 that includes 3 generations. So close to everything, we honestly didn’t even need the golf cart we rented. Colleen was awesome to work with - responded immediately and helped us navigate a few small issues. Would definitely stay again!

Great for a girls getaway
We had a wonderful time staying at the Family Tides beach house in Michigan City! It was enough room for all of us to stay and sleep comfortably. Great amenities and amazingly close location to the beach. We loved being able to go do things but also have down time and time with our group catching up. Colleen was an amazing host and quick to respond and incredibly helpful! We all have talked about staying here again with other friends or bringing out families on a family trip as well. Absolutely wonderful!

BEACHY KEEN
Our Michigan family vacation was amazing and had a lot to do with the Family Tides beach house we stayed at. The capacity easily handled 16 people. The convenience of the 3 minute walk to the beach along with the pool, kayaking, paddle boarding, paddle boats, tennis and basketball courts was appreciated and totally utilized by all. Our host Colleen was so attentive and responsive which only added to the wonderful experience. We hope to be back soon!!!

2024 Family Trip
This year we decided to look into something outside of our typical "head to FL" for vacation. Somewhere to beat the summer heat, enjoy a beach during the day, roasting marshmallows at night wearing a light jacket. Most important we needed comfortable accommodations to fit our blessed brood of 21. This place hit all of our hot buttons ! Located within a quaint resort, a short walk to the beach and to the resort pool. After a week of memories all decided this house is a definite repeat in our books ! Thank you !

Great family vacation
We loved our stay very much. Our only regret was that we had unseasonably cool weather but that can’t be controlled. This was the most well equipped place we’ve ever stayed. They had everything… beach chairs, beach toys, games, and everything you could possibly want in the kitchen. Plenty of room for all of us and easy access to both the beach and pool area. Communication with the owner was great. We’d highly recommend staying here.

Perfect Labor Day getaway!
We had a wonderful stay Labor Day weekend! We had 18 people total, including 4 families with 10 kids. The house is very clean with everything you need, including a wagon, beach chairs and beach toys. Having the guest house with the extra kitchen was key when prepping meals for our large group. The house is prime location with being right across the street from the beach and just a quick walk to the pool and coffee/ice cream shop. Highly recommend!

Perfection in every way
We loved this property and our entire experience! The property owner was SO responsive and accommodating, and the house had everything we needed, including beach chairs, sand toys, bikes, and more. The house is a very short walk from the beach, pool, and other amenities, which was great for many reasons. Our group included 5 adults and 6 teenagers, and every single person raved about what a great experience it was. Our purpose was to create some fun memories among our teens before they headed off to high school, and this house gave them all the space, opportunity, and freedom to do that. Thank you, Colleen, for being the perfect host!

Family reunion
We had 4 families- 15 people stay at the house from all over the country. From the search process to check out Colleen was so wonderful to work with. I have stayed at many rental properties and she was by far the most responsive and even seemed very happy to answer all of my questions. There was plenty of room in the house for everyone to move around. There was a small situation that required the assistance of a maintenance person and Colleen was quick to respond to my request and he came out the next day. We spent a few hours one day kayaking, paddle boarding and peddle boating. Trips to get coffee and ice cream from the ice cream shop were daily. My son lost his AirPod there and Colleen found it immediately and mailed it back to me. You will not regret booking this property.
