The distance from back patio door to water is roughly 100 yards of straight sand (no hills or stairs). It's on the water but it's still a walk from back door. This is in Sheridan Beach, the largest beach fronts in this area, no erosion...big, beautiful sandy beach.

Location, location, location!

Back of house faces Lake Michigan. THREE screened in porches help to enjoy the views! We had three people who “worked from home” during our stay and the house has many nice spaces where they could choose to work. This house is close enough to lighthouse to walk to. Like to sandglass hunt? We found plenty! Close to many good restaurants, public golf course (with the best executive course as well), a botanical garden with walking paths, the outlet mall. House has everything you can think of in the kitchen, plenty of beach towels, sand toys/chairs. My communication with Maggie was quick and she made us feel so welcome - like we were a part of the family!

Great family vacation

We had a wonderful week at this beautiful home on Lake Michigan with our 3 adult children, their significant others and 3 grandchildren ages 4 and under. The house was the perfect size and location for our family. Lots of beach equipment and toys available. We spent a lot of time on the multiple screened porches and took numerous walks along the beach and through the neighborhood. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Location

The property has an incredible view of Lake Michigan and sits right on the beach, sans in your back yard and just steps from the water. Plenty of room for a big group including 2 master suites and a double bunk room for kids was great. So many amenities, everything you’d need is right there. Maggie was fantastic to communicate with as well.

A little slice of heaven

Nice property in a great location. The private beach access was great as public access points were closed due to COVID during our stay. Loved the screened in porches. I would stay at this property all summer if I could!

Amazing get away close to Chicago

We had a great stay with our family and another family. It was so convenient to walk right out to the beach and the property had everything we needed--chairs, beach toys, a big float, towels, etc. We enjoyed cooking and grilling and going for walks in the neighborhood. We look forward to going back.

COVID-19 vacation

We decided to proceed with our planned extended family vacation despite the worldwide pandemic, and we were so happy we did. The house was great, and the beach access made it easy to keep ourselves entertained no matter what else was closed or limited in the area around it. Maggie was a very attentive owner, and communicated well with us through every step of the booking and the actual stay. We would return to this home again for sure.

Beautiful family home with a beautiful view

This home was perfect for our family. We have two young kids and the beach access was easy (no steps). The public access was right next to us too and provided a hard path to take when my kids were tired. The sunset view on the top screened in porch was AMAZING!!! We enjoyed eating dinners in the side screened in porch every evening. The kids LOVED it! The sandy backyard was also another fun place to go with our little ones. We built sandcastles and played frisbee there. We love Lake Michigan for its constantly changing waves- some days it like the ocean and other days it’s like glass. You can’t beat the view of being right on Lake! It felt like we were a thousand miles away. Thanks for renting out your beautiful home, my family made unforgettable memories there. ❤️

Luxury Lake Living

This fully updated house accommodated all of my friends for Labor Day Weekend. The home is well maintained and super clean. It had all the bells and whistles you could ask for including an open concept kitchen perfect for entertaining. We loved all of the outdoor spaces including two enclosed screen porches. There was also direct beach access just steps away from the home. I highly recommend staying here and I can’t wait to book it again for myself!

Great rental for family vacations

A wonderful home right on the Lake Michigan beach. The house comes with all the beach gear a large family needs. It also has bikes, floating pad, paddle board and kayak etc. and the view from the screened in porches is also great. Wonderful place for a family vacation.

Beautiful View!

Beautiful, peaceful and relaxing! All amenities included with rental are great! We took advantage of shopping at outlet mall, went to the zoo, and chilled out at the lake and the most awesome part for me was the back porch. I loved the morning with my cup of tea and just chilling out! Fabulous. Would rent again and recommend to friends and family. Also, communication with owners was great. Easy to contact. All directions on arrival and departure were clear and easy to follow.

Great family vacation!!

Beautiful, clean, and well cared for. Ideal location being close to all the Michigan City activities and restaurants. We particularly loved the two lake facing decks and all the stocked items for the beach. From Tommy Bahama beach chairs to the Lily Pad, this place had it all. Thank you, Maggie, for such a wonderful setup.

Beautiful home with a lovely view

This home was perfect for our 3 generation family vacation: beautifully decorated and fully equipped with everything we needed for a great vacation. It was a short walk out the back door to a sandy beach. Downtown Chicago is 1 hour away on the train which runs regularly from Michigan City. A great house in a great location!

We rented the house for a couples weekend! It was a fantastic time. We grilled out, hung out at the beach, and enjoyed each other's company playing board games. It's a quick trip from Chicago to escape the hustle and bustle. Definitely will be renting again, when we need an easy getaway. It's the perfect set-up for a few couples to get together and rejuvenate.

My girlfriends and I chose this house and absolutely LOVED everything about it! The living room and kitchen is all an open space which makes it easy for large groups. The views are out of this world and the owner was amazing with communicating with us the entire time to make sure we were enjoying our trip. We will definitely return next year!
