This house was perfect for my adult children, their significant others and me and my boyfriend. Room to gather in the comfy living room or on the outside deck. We loved the location one block from the lake and Walking distance to a couple restaurants. Will definitely book another stay here.

My sons and I were looking for a quiet, comfortable place to stay near the beach. This checked all of our boxes. It was clean, well located, everything we could have wanted. Sitting out on the deck with a cup of coffee, listening to the birds in the morning was just what I needed. Thank you for an amazing weekend!

Our stay was absolutely amazing . House was very clean and provided everything we needed . Communication with the property owner was fabulous! He communicated with us every step of the way . The location was great as well with only being a block away from a private beach . My family really enjoyed their selves and made great memories on this trip . I highly recommend this house and location if your looking for a nice and peaceful little get away .

I came to the area for a birdwatching festival, this was the perfect location! The neighborhood was super cute, the home had everything I needed, and the host was wonderful to work with! Check in was easy- I arrived at night and felt safe even though I was traveling alone. The bed was so comfortable and the towels soft and fluffy! It felt just like a home away from home! The house is also very close to the beach and other park areas! Be sure to check out “Indie Indie Bang Bang!” While visiting, it is a super cute gift shop not too far from the house.WiFi and appliances were easy to use, and I had what I needed for cooking my meals before and after each day I spent exploring the dunes area. I cannot wait to stay here again!

Weather was awful…. Wish they could have done something that!😂 kids like seeing Chicago across the lake! Good location for the National Park. Comfortable!

Wanted to stay close to the beach for a swimming tournament in Hobart and this house was perfectly located to both. Kitchen was perfect with everything I needed to cook for 3 days. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable.
5.0 / 5.0
Nice location to base a visit to Indiana Dunes National Park. Plenty of room for our 3-person family get-together and a short walk to the beachfront. Appreciated the fenced yard for the dog. We had a car issue and found a friendly neighbor who loaned us what we needed to solve the problem!
5.0 / 5.0
We wanted a quick 3 day getaway for fall break and decided to rent a home instead of a hotel. This house was perfect. Tom our host met us there and walked us through the property. Although a little older the wood floors, cozy environment and bedrooms were charming. The house has smart tvs so it was no problem linking into our favorite streaming apps to watch a movie. The fireplace outside was perfect for the crisp look October evenings and Tom made sure we were fully stocked with firewood. One of the best VRBOs I’ve stayed in. Super clean, comfy and the beds were perfect. Would stay here again for sure!
5.0 / 5.0
I wanted a place to stay while visiting both Indiana Dunes National Park and Chicago. This was the perfect place. Driving to both the state park and national park was very easy as both were very close. We were able to spend several days hiking. Then we used the South Shore Line to go into Chicago to do some sightseeing and visit museums. The place was clean, cozy, with all the amenities that were promised.
5.0 / 5.0
We booked the house for a trip to visit family and it was perfect for the 4 of us and 3 medium/small dogs. The house was clean, well decorated, and had everything we needed. There is no washer or dryer but there are a few laundromats nearby. We went to Sunny Days in Willowcreek Plaza in Portage. Clean and well-managed with plenty of machines.
Tom met us upon our arrival to give us a tour and answer any questions we may have had. He was great. Very friendly and quick to respond to any texts we sent.
The house is in a great location as it is within walking distance from the beach and Flamingo Pizza of Miller. The neighborhood itself was great for walking our dogs. We went in the offseason so there was barely any traffic.
All in all, we were very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We look forward to visiting again.

We had such a great stay in this home. TV in every room, clean, fenced in yard for our dogs. Owner met us at check in and was so kind and communicated thoroughly. We will hopefully be coming back every year!

This was our 2nd time staying here & we absolutely loved it! So close to the beach & the house felt like home for us!!! The homeowners went above & beyond in making this a memorable get-away for our family!! Will definitely be back!!!
5.0 / 5.0
For several months we'd looked forward to this chance to spend some quality time with one of our grown sons and his wife and just-turning-one daughter. Logistics of getting three generations from multiple locations together can be complicated. Luckily for us, nearly everything worked out well. The rental property was a good fit for us--very near a beach, not far from several sections of Indiana Dunes National Park, relatively easy to child-proof, within walking distance of small shops and restaurants, neither too fancy nor too plain. Could have done without the extra layer of bureaucracy provided by Evolve, but liked the owner/hosts. Would recommend the place to others.
4.0 / 5.0
The house is conveniently located about a block from the beach as well a few blocks from Marquette park and a few miles from the national park. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in yard and we took advantage of the fire pit and s'mores kit. The house had sufficient space for our family and enough cooking accessories to easily facilitate making meals. The main drawback was road noise, especially at night when trying to sleep or eating outside. No washer/dryer probably limits the duration of stay as well. Overall, would stay here again. Good communication with host.
5.0 / 5.0
This was a great place to stay for our family of 7 over the holiday. It was cozy and perfect for us and the host was incredible. Would recommend if you are needing a few days with family and friends.
4.0 / 5.0
Overall, it was the perfect spot for what we needed. Some small annoyances were the decor that was breakable and eye level for a child, if you are setting the place up and you know there are child/ren coming, maybe put them up higher or away? Also, there were spider webs everything. It seemed clean for the most part but some really gross webs in some bad spots. I appreciated being able to communicate with the property manager, Tom - but he was a bit over the top with communication. A text goes a long way these days. Maybe ask the renter how they would like communication to go? Again - cute little spot and perfect for what we needed.
5.0 / 5.0
Host was very helpful from initial questions on line, during our stay & departure. Home is immaculate, great beds, linen & kitchen utensils. We brought in food & bathroom needs.
Easy one block walk to beach (our Midwest ocean.) Granddaughters loved the bunk beds & we left totally relaxed.
Seven min. drive to train station for day in to Chicago. Easy access on Highway 12 to all Dune beaches & parks. Overall-excellent!
5.0 / 5.0
This was the first time my family and I have ever done anything like this and we honestly didn’t like what to expect. Tom, our host meet us at the property and walked us through everything which was great! He really made our stay a lot easier and more enjoyable with the local recommendations. It was very clean and cozy! We brought our 6 kids and everyone was comfortable and happy. The beds were comfortable and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We actually plan to come back during the summer and hit the beach!!
5.0 / 5.0
Our stay at the Miller Beach house was great. It was an easy walk to get to the beach, great jumping point to get to the national park, and exactly what we needed. The 2 dogs enjoyed running in the fenced yard, we enjoyed sitting by the fire at night, and sharing meals around the table. Would recommend and visit again in the future.
5.0 / 5.0
Just a relaxing stay. The whole family enjoyed themselves. Definitely coming back.

This house was perfect for our little getaway! The kids loved the bunk beds. All the beds were super comfortable with plenty of pillows. The jet tub was really nice and they had plenty of big fluffy towels. There was a smart TV in every room. We enjoyed hanging out on the patio grilling and sitting by the fireplace. The beach is only a block away and is an easy walk! Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for the perfect getaway!
5.0 / 5.0
The house is located a short walk from nice beaches. The house seems to have been recently renovated and is nicely furnished. Nice details were included. There's a small, private yard/deck. The street it's located on gets somewhat busy, and cars certainly don't follow the 20 mph speed limit, making for some street noise. Aside from that our family had a great time and we'd stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
My family stayed at this property and it exceeded all our expectations. My wife and I and my daughters husband and two children (ages 2 and 7). Very clean with all the amenities and beach is 1 block away. Enjoyed the firepit and smores in the evening, coffee on the deck in the morning, and grilling on the Weber Grill. Beds were unbelievably comfortable and my wife had a relaxing time reading her book with a glass of wine in the jet tub. Kids thoroughly enjoyed the bunk beds.......tremendous property for a family vacation.
I highly recommend staying at this property and will book again for next year !
5.0 / 5.0
