Great Spot For The Beach
We stayed here for a week’s getaway to the beach. The proximity to the beach is great because you’re able to walk there if the parking gets full. We utilized the nice Weber grill as well!

Mother’s Day Weekend
We celebrated mother’s day at this beautiful home, nestled in the Indiana Dunes. I got to host my local area family in this beautiful home. It was perfect for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the beautiful lake Michigan scenery.

A nice place
Peaceful and quiet. Yard is overgrown but that adds to its charm. Missing a few amenities listed online and in guests guide book. If I was in the area I would check its availability.

Quiet Get-a-Way
The property was nestled behind a bunch of trees and was secluded and quiet. It was a short walk to the beach and close to the national park. It was perfect for a quiet get-a-way and for a hike or two up the dunes.

Repeat Visitor
Have stayed at this property several years ago. Layout of floor plan great, lovely views & access to private beach as promised. Property is showing noticeable lack of upkeep. Many screens in doors are loose or have holes, ant issues, appliances hit or miss. Still a beautiful rental, a little TLC would make it a five star again!

Great Location
This is a cute house. Great location within walking distance to two beaches. On quiet days, you can hear the waves crashing in Lake Michigan. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. Large deck spanning the back of the house. Easy access off the road.

Beautiful home
Absolutely beautiful home located s short walk from the beach and very short drive to groceries, hiking and biking. The home is very nicely decorated. There were a few minor issues with cleanliness (deck needs a good power washing due to mildew). But we loved our stay and would come back to this house again any day.

Dunes house
House interior is nice but not comfortable. Low back chairs and sofa not great for lounging. Need better instructions for TV and music. Exterior looked neglected with overgrown landscape and poison ivy trailing onto walkways. Railroad tie steps sinking and rotting. Lower level bed and bath extremely dark.

Beach House
The location was perfect. You could easily walk to the beach. I feel like the house could have been slightly cleaner but it was not bad. I did make a call to rental company and they never returned the phone call. All in all it was still a good experience.

Glad we went
We enjoyed seeing the area. The house was clean and had everything we needed but for a place with so many windows and skylights it was incredibly dark. We called it the cave. The lighting was so bad. But we walked to the beach and especially enjoyed the Pavillion at the beach. Would have been helpful to understand the parking situation at the beach (can a short term pass be obtained by guests through the city?), but we made it work. We enjoyed our visit.

Great place to stay, close to the beach
My family (with kids ages 10 and 7) loved our stay at this house. It was clean and well taken care of with beautiful touches. The location was perfect and we were able to explore the area easily. We loved being able to walk down the road after dinner (or drive and park on quieter nights) to spend our evenings at the beach. On our drive home, we realized we left a beloved stuffed animal at the house so I emailed Jason and he responded quickly to let me know he would contact the cleaners. We ended up turning around to retrieve it and the cleaners met us with smiles and had found the stuffed animal, so all was well! Overall, I would absolutely recommend staying here!

Beautiful view, quiet property, close to the dunes. Could use some touchup.
Loved the location. Quiet. Felt the cleanliness of the property could be better. Master bed was sandy. Towels were stained. Outside area didn't look it had been cleaned in some time. Windows dirty. Garbage cans outside hadn't been emptied in some time. Also that front step is dangerous. My husband fell not thinking that the first step is so awkward. I would be concerned for elderly staying at this location. I would suggest having shampoo/conditioner and other such amenities available to quests. Perhaps a welcome basket.
