About this house rental
Here is your relaxing, beachfront retreat. The beach is your backyard during your stay with sunset and lake views. The private beach is perfect to view from the back patio, indoor porch, or the romantic swing set. Each room in the home has views of Pine Lake in this "tucked away" home. Enjoy the fire pit outside or the inside fireplace to stay warm and cozy.
This a contactless property. You will receive your code prior to check-in time. Please contact your host in the app in which you booked with any questions or concerns! I am happy to assist.
This home is tucked away in between a few homes on the lake, but has the comfort of privacy being further away from the main road and trees/ fences for added privacy. Surrounding homes do not obstruct the views of the lake.
A short drive away is Soldier's Memorial Park with a public beach, walking trails, and public playground. Close to downtown La Porte, you are minutes away from local and chain restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, etc. This property is about 25 minutes away from Lake Michigan. 5 minutes away is Fox Memorial Park with a public beach, walking trails, and a playground.
Please contact your host for directions, as your GPS will take you the wrong way. The driveway is shared access. You can park in front of the shed near the fence on the left. You will have the entire property and private beach to enjoy. The owner stays in the home between guests, so there are some drawers with the owner's personal items.
The property is small and intimate. It is a single level 2 bedroom home with a combined living/ dining space. There is an attached bathroom in one of the bedrooms. There is another half bathroom off the kitchen. The home features a back enclosed porch with two sitting chairs for your morning coffee. Because of limited space, the kitchen does not have a lot of counter space and has the washer and dryer under some butcher block counters. One of the bedrooms has a jacuzzi tub in the bedroom overlooking the lake.
Ubers and Lifts are limited to none in La Porte.
Enterprise Rental Cars is about 10 minutes from the property.
South Shore Line Train (best for travel to Chicago) is about 20 minutes away in Michigan City.

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful time at the Sunset Hideaway in La Porte! Everything we needed was there plus some. The location was SUPERB! The park, the paths, THE WATERFRONT… amazing! And that jacuzzi… mm mm mm! So relaxing. We just have a few recommendations for management:
Regarding the lake toys (kayaks, paddle boards), we were really looking forward to using them but they were filthy inside. We tried cleaning them but couldn’t get enough of the plant life/bugs out to be comfortable enough to use them. The paddle board let in water due to holes, so every time we used it, we would have to lift it to let out the water. It was heavy and took a long time standing there holding it upright to empty it. It’s a great idea to have a rack for these items.
There is poison ivy lined by the stones as you step down to get to the dock entry that should be removed- BE CAREFUL!
The gas grill instructions should be more clear to simply say ‘press start only’. And then, with the propane stuck in the on position, that doesn’t feel safe? The first night we weren’t able to use the grill because of not being aware of this and not receiving a response about it until the next day (in person), so I had to pivot with the dinner I made for us.
Lastly, the wet, water logged flower stamp on the toilet paper rolls for presentation- cute idea, but the wet part feels icky considering what we’re wiping, lol! Catch my drift? Oh and speaking of drift- GO TO DRIFT ON PINE! Great rooftops :)

So peaceful and tranquil. The tub overlooking the lake was the best. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is stocked with spices and coffee for the Keurig. Plenty of pots, pans, and blenders for cooking to your heart's desire. We are glad that we chose this property for our getaway.

We really enjoyed our time at this property! The lake was beautiful and it was great to take in the fall views before winter comes. There were a few disappointing things that ultimately didn’t too negatively effect our trip. Unfortunately, the jacuzzi tub’s plug didn’t fully close, so you couldn’t use it since it wouldn’t fill properly. There was a water filter there that was confusing to try to use, but the tap water was completely fine. The neighbors were also doing some pretty loud construction on our second day so it was a little loud. The kitchen has to be one of the best stocked in a rental I’ve been to! We did a lot of cooking and it had most things you would want to use in a kitchen and then some. We brought a lot of things assuming we would need it, but ended up not needing to use our own kitchen items! I think with a few small repairs and a good deep clean this place would’ve been absolutely perfect. Overall, we had an amazing time getting away for the weekend and were so grateful to enjoy it in such a beautiful spot.

We took a short trip to plunk down by the water and celebrate our anniversary. The lake is beautiful and clear, and the proximity to Soldier's Park was great to take walks. The home itself has tight quarters, but perfect for a couple. Really all you need. The sun porch was great to sit, read, play the ukelele they had on premises (thank you for that!) and make up songs. We had some confusion about the portable dishwasher since we'd never operated one before, but the property manager was very helpful and quick to respond. It's a sweet little place!

It was a great little house. Beautiful view of the lake right off back porch. There was a great paved walking trail right across the street that went around the lake. LaPorte seemed like a great town. Very friendly people. You must eat at Trattoria Enzo. Amazing!!

While the quarters are tight - worked perfectly for a short weekend with our young kids. Great access for the young kids to play in the sand on the beach, and enjoy the sunset on the porch!

Cozy cabin on a busy lake. Close to La Porte. Disappointed in VRBO customer service on explaining how to pay for this rental. Caused a lot of back/forth with property manager as VRBO call center was unhelpful.

The three day getaway at this fantastic property is just what my family needed. Plenty of water activity fun to be had. House is quaint but newly remodeled it seems and cute as a button. All household necessities one would require are provided. Paddle board and kayaks available for lake adventures. Sunsets are beautiful. Close to town but also tucked away enough to feel somewhat isolated from the city which is just a hop and skip down the road. Loved the retreat and would definitely stay again. I would highly recommend renting this gem for your next family vacation or friendly outing. Thank you and maybe see you again down the road sometime.

We had a wonderful time at this cabin for our short summer vacation. Beds were comfortable and kitchen stocked with everything we needed. The lake was super clear! We explored the area along with both the Indiana Dunes State and National Parks, which were around 20-30 minutes away.

Never been to area but dang i had no idea how beautiful. Loved the house zero problems. The lake is amazing water so clear wish we got to spend more time here and outside. We will definitely be back.

The property was hard to find. Google nor Apple Maps could get us to the correct address - this was a little frustrating. Once we found it and got inside, we were pleased. It looked just like the photos; very clean.
The WI-FI information was not updated in the guest info book nor communicated to us, so we had to reach out to the property manager. They responded quickly with the right password and we were then good to go.
Check out instructions requested that we strip the bed, put all towels in the washing machine, and take out the garbage. We did all of this, but if we’re paying the “cleaning fee” this seemed a bit excessive.
Overall, this was a good place to stay. It would have been even more enjoyable if we could have taken advantage of the outdoor area to enjoy being by the water, but it was an incredibly cold weekend!

It was the perfect place for our family to meet up and stay. Warm and cozy in the winter.
