Along the southern shore of Lake Michigan, sits this remarkable home-The Beach House Brigade, a family-owned home for over fifty-five years! A stunning rehab- all three levels were taken down to the studs, and everything is fresh and flooded with natural light!

A 10-minute car ride or easy 25-minute easy bike ride to the zoo, shopping, gaming, boating, spas, restaurants, golf, stables, and the vibrant art district.
15 minutes from Indiana Dunes National Park, 40 minutes from the University of Notre Dame, and 90 minutes from Chicago, 15 minutes from Michigan's Wine Country, Craft Breweries, and Distilleries.

All close enough to enjoy, while preserving the feel and simplicity of a lakeside getaway. Stand-up paddleboards and other beach toys and bikes can be rented and delivered to the home -beach life doesn't get any easier!

The intentional design fosters laid-back luxury for both families and groups- providing ample space to gather and mingle, coupled with outlets for privacy and a peaceful retreat.

Incredible property and we enjoyed our stay this summer.

Our experience was great. The house is awesome, the location is perfect, and the owner was a pleasure to work with and checked in with us regularly to make sure everything was OK. The home is expertly organized and stocked with every kitchen gadget you could think of, lots of yard games, and a variety of books (we liked the ones about the local area). Would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous summer getaway.

The home was fantastic, being across the street from the beach was so convenient, the backyard was the size of a football field and perfect for the family to relax and play with the grandchildren. My family has been fortunate to be able to travel often over the years to wonderful vacation destinations, this 2 hour drive from home was a perfect chance to escape these crazy Covid past 5 months. I would hope to return again to this home with my growing family in the future. The homeowner went well above and beyond to be certain we enjoyed our stay. She was terrific!

Perfect beach getaway!

We have been renting houses with 12-18 people (big extended family!) in Michiana for years. It is sometimes hard to find a place that has enough bedrooms, a large enough dining room table, comfortable sitting areas, etc. This house was perfect for our stay over Memorial Day, and had everything we needed! Communication before we got there was excellent, and the sweet treats when we arrived were a fun surprise. We also loved the rock painting and the ice cream maker :-) If you like to cook, this is the most organized, well-stocked kitchen we have ever seen in a rental house! Enough of everything, and extras! We would highly recommend this house to anyone, and hope to stay there again. Especially since it is just a 2 min walk down to the beach!

Long Beach

From the very start, the owner Colleen was fantastic. Very helpful with the rental and local area. We have nothing but great things to say. We stayed for two weeks. The beach has easy access and is very quiet with nice sand. The home is large. We found that we always migrated back to the kitchen. Every detail was attended to for our stay. Highly recommend this property and it's owner!!

Absolute Dream

We stayed for 2 weeks- 4 couples and a baby, and wish we could have stayed longer. As an artist in design, no detail went unnoticed, and everything about this house continued to impress. From the cookware, to bathroom fixtures, beds, bedding, towels, washer/dryer on every floor, 3 dishwashers, and even the beach chairs- everything has been impeccably chosen. We enjoyed every inch- from the spacious kitchen, and two family rooms, all wonderfully flooded with natural light as well as the expansive yards where we played volleyball, badminton and frisbee (all set up and equipment provided). I will also add that each bedroom having it's own bathroom was yet another key detail. The beach was incredibly close which was awesome because we rented paddle boards that we carried to and from each day, from a rental company recommended by the home owner. The company picked up and dropped off the boards- so convenient. It was an incredible vacation thanks to this perfect home, we did not want to leave- and are already planning our return. We could not recommend more- 10 stars.

peaceful beach getaway

This house is beautifully renovated and decorated with every amenity you could want. When we arrived there was no coffee pot as stated in the listing (only a Keurig) we mentioned to the owner that we would have brought our own if we knew, and she ran out to the store and bought one. The beach is clean but small probably due to the water level being high. But for the most part we had it to ourselves. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful and the yard is perfect for playing with little ones and nighttime fires in the fire bowl on the patio. We enjoyed our stay and made many family memories.
