About this house rental

Ruby's Lakehouse is a secret treasure, on a perfectly located, quiet street in the fabulous Beachwalk community. Ruby’s is the ultimate gathering place for a large family or group of friends that wants a beach get-away with modern luxury in a quaint, warm, inviting home. This house is a very popular rental in the area, due to the size and location of the home. This home is OWNER-MANAGED, and there are NO EXTRA RESORT or MANAGER FEES added on, as you will find with many other houses in the area. Plus, during the peak summer weeks, we provide A GOLF CART FREE OF CHARGE! We personally tend to the house on a weekly basis, and make sure it is immaculately clean and stocked for you. You will love our Personal Touches.
Please note: We do not allow PROM parties. The age requirement is 25, and proof of age may be required. This is also a perfect place to spend THE HOLIDAYS! Special rates may apply during the winter and holiday season.
Ruby’s is surprisingly large, providing 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths in the main house. Plus, we have a coach house that sleeps 5, that can be added for an extra fee if you are interested. The main house sleeps 14+ people with a king bedroom, 3 queen bedrooms and a bunk room that sleeps 7. We have bonus sleeping spots, like 2 sleeper sofas and mattresses in the giant walk-in closets. You won’t believe the great room at the back of the house, boasting a full kitchen, dining and living room space. Enjoy modern amenities and a fully-loaded kitchen, laundry room, 5 flat screen smart TVs(no cable tv, but there is access to netflix, disney, youtube tv, amazon), XBOX 360 gaming system, free WIFI, and more. The unfinished basement provides an extra play room and a lounging area for the kids, with a large tv and a WII gaming system. Perfectly located, Ruby’s is only 1 block from the pool and the park, and a leisurely 5 minute walk to Lake Michigan on the pristine Indiana Dunes (national lakeshore) which is a top rated beach where you can see the Sears/Willis Tower on a clear day.

Want to bring a dog? While we love dogs, we are very particular about allowing them. Due to very quick turnarounds between rentals, and with respect of potential allergies of future guests, we ask that only non-shedding, mature, and well behaved dogs stay at Ruby's. All dogs must be approved by owner prior to booking. Please submit an inquiry if you are interested in bringing your dog.

The coach house above the garage is a separate rental, and may be rented to another party (2-5 people) during your stay. It is completely separated from the main house, and has a small common area of the back deck where the entrance to the coach house is located. If you are interested in renting the coach house too, please send a message with your inquiry. The back deck area is reserved for the renters of the main house, and anyone staying in the coach house is informed of this. They simply use the back deck for access to the coach house entrance. 1 parking space is allocated to the guest house as well. The property fits 6-7 cars, so this is normally not a problem. Extra parking is available 3 doors down when needed.

Why Ruby's and not a different house in Beachwalk?
Location. We are in the front part of Beachwalk where there is ample parking and no congestion, very close to the pool and beach.
Fees. We include everything in our rate. Other homes charge resort fees and manager fees.
The Golf Cart. We include Ruby's golf cart with your rental. Other homes charge up to $500/week.
Owner-managed. We give personal attention to you and respond very quickly with all questions and issues that arise.

This was our first time to Beachwalk. Our house and host were amazing! Everything we could possibly need was readily available! Plenty to do with our 3 kids ages 7-13. Hoping to come again next year!

Our family loved staying at Ruby's! We have been to Beachwalk for many stays over the past 18 years and found this house to be the among the best. The thoughful amenities like games, books, beach toys, beach chairs, wagon, and more made for easy enjoyment of the beach and house. We like to cook at home and found the kitchen to be better equipped than most rentals. The house was comfortable, larger than expected, and in an ideal location at Beachwalk. The hosts were very responsive and communicative before and during our stay.

Ruby's was perfect for our large group. We also rented the smaller house. The kitchen was very well stocked. We always prepare all meals at the house due to the number of people we have, and we had everything we needed! Rooms were great, beds were comfortable. Having the golf cart included is always nice as well (we have had to rent from an outside company at some past locations). There were several beach chairs, umbrellas, and a beach cart available for our use. Communication was easy, Sam checked in on us throughout the week, including after some storms to be sure all was well. Would definitely stay again.

The house along with the coach house accommodated the 18 of us very comfortably. The location is very good, not a main road, yet very short walks to all the resort amenities. The host answered all questions very quickly and well. The house was very clean and nicely decorated and arranged. The host provided lots of nice touches to make our stay fun and relaxed. I highly recommend Ruby's. We were all very impressed with this house and location, the 10 kids never got 'bored'!

Clean with plenty of amenities. We used all 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms! Plenty of eating spaces. Front porch with sitting room for all of us (12 total). The area had so much to offer-pool, lake fun (paddle board and paddle boats), splash pad, golf cart all in the cutest community. A short walk to a lovely beach (ADA accessible-important for our party) with spectacular sunsets. When it rained we went to the outlets and found something for everyone. Wish we had one more day!
