We had a great experience! The location was perfect with just about 3-4 minutes walk to the beach. You can see the beach from the windows and the patio. The water was very comfortable and kids enjoyed swimming and spending time by the water. ( August ) We also loved that within 3-4 miles you have variety of different restaurants and stores. The house was clean and comfortable. We brought everything we needed for our family and the house had everything else. No issue while staying. Very positive experience. We will be recommending this property to our friends.

My family had such a wonderful stay in Porter Beach. The house was spotless and beautifully decorated. The pictures did not do it justice. It was HUGE and had plenty of room for at least 4 more people. We loved sitting on the deck in the mornings with our coffee and enjoying the beach view. The beach was by far our favorite part. It was so nice to be so close. We just packed up the chairs and the beach toys into the wagon that was provided and walked down the road. It took less than five minutes to walk and find a place. The beach was GORGEOUS. The sand is clean, and the water is clear. Sometimes you really do forget that you're on a lake. The living room is super cozy for those days you want to just relax on the couch and watch a movie. The town has plenty of stores and restaurants for anything you may want or need. There are several parks nearby with playgrounds for young children. The owner was very friendly and reached out the day before our arrival to verify that the house had been cleaned and to discuss how to access the place. I have stayed at several places through VRBO over the years and I have to say that this was my favorite by far. We will be back for sure!

We stayed in this house for a week with our 8yo, 6yo and 1yo. It was clean, comfortable, well-appointed and accurately represented by the photos! The kids enjoyed the yard space and the deck was very private. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets. We cooked all our meals in and had everything we needed to do that. The beach access was 100 yards from the house, and we could see the lake from the house despite one property between us. The state park was next door and can be accessed via the beach. This time of year it was very quiet, but I can see it being much busier (and louder) during peak times with the public beach parking lot across from the house. The property manager communicated well and is very friendly and helpful! This is a great location to visit Lake Michigan and Indiana Dunes National and State parks. It’s always a gamble when visiting a property for the first time after scouring vacation rentals online, but this property did not disappoint. I only wish we had booked a longer stay!

We stayed here in July with our 7, 5 and 2 year old. The proximity to the beach was amazing! We had everything we needed in the house to enjoy a day at the beach. We loved exploring the dunes that were really easy to get to from the beach. The hosts were great and responsive to questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will be back!
