August beach getaway

We had fun family time at the beach. The outside seating area and grill were perfect for our family. Short walk to the beach with beach gear and towels supplied. I was able to get in a couple hours early which was a bonus.

Great Lakes getaway

Overall, hard to beat: great sized bedrooms, clean unit, beach toys on site for the kids, powdery sand, clean water, and a walk as short as a beachfront high rise on the gulf. Our family is already planning for next summer👍

Loved it!

The rooms were super clean when we checked in! We were also also able to get into the property a bit earlier than the check in time which was awesome! Also communication with Jill was awesome she would respond quick, and was making sure we were enjoying our time and if we needed anything. This is our 2nd year booking this property and it was amazing again. We love the close walk to the beach it was less than 5 mins to get there which was awesome!! We loved our vacation again!! There is also a washer and dryer which is wonderful since we had a lot of clothes and swim suits to wash since we stayed here for a week. The kitchen is also pretty stocked up if you need plates, glasses, pans, and anything else you might need. There’s also a patio table and chairs if you want to sit outside. We just love love this place!!

Perfect Beach Rental

Jill's place is WONDERFUL! Location can't be beat. She has everything you need for your stay, beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys for every child. You just need to bring your clothes and get ready to enjoy the most wonderful time in Michigan City. The kitchen is also supplied with all you need. Washer and dryer is so nice to wash everything up after being at the beach. The place is roomy, nobody on top of each other. Stay here and you will not be dissatisfied .❤️

Great house and best location

This home was amazing!! Communication with the owner was easy and fast response. Home was clean and had everything for the beach. The walk to the beach was so close and easily a accessible due to the blue walking path. Hands down best place to rent for a beach weekend. Looking forward to rent again!!

We loved it!

When we got to the apartment it was so clean and spacious, everything you needed was available if you didn’t bring it. We had the top unit and we could see the lake from there it also had a balcony with chairs to sit outside and enjoy the outdoors. It was also less than a 5 min walk to the beach which was wonderful. Jill was also so helpful when we had any questions. Will definitely book again!

Great Beach vacation!

My family loved our stay here-it is literally a 5 minute walk from the beach. There are so many beach toys, towels and chairs to choose from in the basement. The unit we stayed in (upstairs) is even bigger than the photos showed. My two small children, husband, myself and mother all lived comfortably. It is very kid friendly and has a gorgeous patio. Jill was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be staying again!

Nice place to stay

Everything was provided for, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, living room that we could watch the Olympics at night, and a hose to wash our feet when we return from the beach. What was scary it was I didn’t know that there was people living downstairs, using the shower and the washer dryer!!

Great place, great location!

We stayed upstairs and the rooms were big, clean and well kept. The balcony was nice and there was plenty of parking. The location was amazing! 1/2 block to the left or right and there is a path to the beach. The communication process was seamless and clear! Thank you for letting us stay for a quick trip with our college aged kids! Great times!

We have never been to Michigan City and this house was a perfect opportunity to experience the lake and the beach! A short walk to the beautiful sand made it a memorable trip with our littles. Jill is a great host and responds quickly to any questions.

Perfect spot

Steps from the beach is right. We walked up the path every single day. Twice. The house was spotless and big enough for the five of us - plus Jill and Brad we’re giving a day between each guest for COVID. We all felt very safe here. A washer and drier in the basement was a HUGE plus for us too! Will stay again!

Lake unit next to the beach

The vacation exceeded my expectations. The unit was clean and pleasant and the location can’t be beat. I had no idea how nice the area is and how wonderful the lake is. Water is clean with nothing to bite or sting you. Cancelled a Florida vacation and for this and I think it was a very good decision.

Great Stay

The house is in a great location for a short walk to the beach and a slightly longer walk to Washington Park. A cannot say enough good words about our host. Jill was informative and responsive and truly concerned that we enjoy the stay. Would definitely consider another stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jill Houston

Why they chose this property

We now live in the Indianapolis area, but I grew up in Michigan City and spent many sunny days on the shores of Lake Michigan. I still can't think of another place I'd rather be for a summer vacation. A friend from Indianapolis said to me while visiting Sheridan Beach, 'You've always talked about the beach here, but I never imagined that it looked like this!' My husband and I, with our four children are very excited to spend a large part of our summer here and are anxious to share all of the fun that Michigan City has to offer.

What makes this property unique

We love the versatility of using one single unit or accommodating our large extended families and filling the whole place! Our building has two 3-bedroom units and one 1-bedroom unit. The advertised unit is the main floor unit. Half of the basement is used as shared space with a beach shower, W/D, and beach chairs and toys.
