Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Beachwalk. The house was clean upon arrival. There were some kitchen items that were missing, such as oven mitts. It would also be helpful to have some lamps in the living area. And the lamps in the bedrooms were not good for reading. Otherwise, we were happy with our stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second time staying at Beachwalk and our first time at Manatees Retreat. Overall, it was a great experience. Nice location near the playground and the golf cart made getting to the beach, pool, clubhouse very convenient. Appreciated beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, etc in the little shed. The house was clean, but not sparkling. One TV did not work at all, the others were a bit finicky. The couch needs to be replaced (lots of stains). Kitchen could use a little TLC - 1 cabinet door was broken, a few chipped dishes, no potholders. Fire ring was nice for an evening relaxing around a campfire. Screened in porch was lovely! A place to hang up wet towels might be nice if it could be added somewhere. 5 minute drive to restaurants and outlet mall in Michigan City.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect size for our party of 4, 3 generations. My mom stayed on the 1st floor in the larger bedroom with bath. I utilized the 2nd floor bedroom (comfy bed) with my kids on the top floor. Loved the golf cart (made my mother's mobility much easier) and beach chairs, umbrella, etc... Kitchen sized just right for us. New grill- we used it to grill fresh caught salmon from Lake Michigan that AM. This is our 3rd stay in the resort area (1st at this house). Good location. Cons were: 2nd fl bedroom has very little storage for clothes. Two drawers are nailed shut. The third has the nails protruding from them, which snagged my clothes and was a safety hazard. I did alert resort staff via the feedback form. The 3rd floor bunk bed is so noisy it wakes everyone when the person in the bunk moves (lots of squeaks and creaks). An AC type unit on the 3rd floor is necessary to keep the cool temp, but very loud, so you couldn't hear the TV when it was on unless you turned it up very loud.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at Manatees Retreat! We were traveling with two kids and four adults and the house was perfect for us. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had all the necessary things, and everything was clean. We loved being by the playground and the golf cart was a favorite way to travel around Beachwalk. The small fire pit in the back was perfect for s’more making. We had two minor complaints: - there was limited hot water for baths/showers and we all experienced cold showers throughout the stay - the screened in porch needed some cleaning Overall, great stay and we would stay again!

Great stay and amazing resort. House was very clean and spacious and just what we expected for our family trip. Location right next to playground for our young kids and golf cart was a bonus. Resort is great too, plenty to do to keep everyone entertained. And close access to travel to surrounding beach towns. Will stay again for sure!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is super cute, perfect size for a small family. It was very clean, terrific natural light and nicely stocked. There is a playground right next door and a golf cart to use. I liked the community, with fun family activities. The houses are quite close, grilling and fire pit evenings are not private. The quiet hours are not really observed as there was a party next door and firecrackers until midnight. Another negative was the main floor bedroom bed with its crunchy protective sheet. I understand trying to save the mattress but would have been better with a higher quality sheet that didn’t feel like it was old fashioned bed-wetter plastic. I was pleased to see they upgraded the tv’s however. They were all smart tv’s with great wifi. Overall, this place was terrific!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was worn and kitchen and cabinet space were sparce. Lack of utensils and peeling paint in cabinets. Couch is old and not comfortable.Our golf cart was in bad shape, no headlights. We received a replacement but not until 3 days into our stay. Air conditioning was inadequate, hot upstairs, freezing downstairs. Stairs should have a runner or carpeting, very slippery.
