We had a wonderful time at this property for our Indiana Dunes vacation. The property was clean, the host was responsive and helpful; answering questions about how “childproof” the property was and approving us bringing whatever we needed to feel more secure with our two year old. The neighborhood was very walkable with the zoo, restaurants, parks etc. We walked to the beach several times as well and appreciated the wagon, umbrellas, chairs, toys and towels.
We went on several hikes at the State and National Park areas and it was an easy drive.
The house had shower supplies and a stocked kitchen. There was coffee, filters, k-cups and some spices already available. We were able to Instacart the rest of the needed groceries the same day as check-in.
This was our first week-long getaway as a family of four and we had a great experience in Michigan City.

The property is nice, but needs some TLC. Lots of little damage and disrepair. There was a lot of sand on the floor as soon as we arrived, so I had to vacuum. Also, there is a light at the back of the property that does NOT go off, and makes the second bedroom VERY bright all night long. Missing blinds and cheap "black out curtains" do a poor job making the room dark. Also, the washing machine is extremely noisy. Owner requires all towels be washed and dried before you leave, so make sure to start that process EARLY, as check out is at 10AM.

The property was exactly how it listed. Very clean and convenient. The unit had everything we could want or need. Location was perfect walking distance to the beach and zoo even for 2 toddlers. Nice, quiet neighborhood. We had a great relaxing time!
4.0 / 5.0
The place was cute and clean as described, and it was very close to the beach which we enjoyed a lot. However, after a long day of being in the sun and water, we couldn’t sleep very well because all the beds were very firm even for me who likes a firm mattress. Part of the check out process is to put the towels in the washer and dryer and we also had to take out the trash and strip the beds. Overall though, we enjoyed our stay!
4.0 / 5.0
The location was perfect for us. The walk to the beach was short. The place was comfortable and had what we needed for our stay. I was worried when we arrived as the front door was in need of some attention. It needs to be scrubbed and/or painted. I agree with other comments about washing the towels. I think that adds a little pressure to vacationers as they prepare for departure. I’ve never stayed anywhere that required that. Overall good place and the owner was very responsive.

This place was a perfect walk to the beach! It was super helpful to have beach items available for us to use such as a wagon, umbrella and chairs. The house was clean and simple.

4.0 / 5.0
Overall we enjoyed our stay. Proximity to the beach was great. Owner provided beach chairs and a wagon to transport all of our stuff! We appreciated the little things such as body wash, shampoo and conditioner that was provided as well as plenty of paper towels, TP and cleaning suppliers. The only negatives...the mattresses were as hard as a rock and the couches were fairly uncomfortable. Simply replacing throw pillows on the couches might help. For what is charged to stay at this unit you might want to consider replacing the mattresses or adding pillow toppers. I would also suggest adding some type of drawers in the bedrooms.

Lake fun.
We were traveling from NC for our grandchildren dance recital. They live in Valparaiso and we were able to spend time with them. The girls loved the house. Sand toys. And close walk to beach.

Perfect mother daughter girls trip
It was a cute clean house. They supplied soap along with shampoo and conditioner. Plenty of towels for showering and also for the beach. There was a coffee maker, a keurig, and a toaster. Pots, pans and utensils. Plates and cups of course. The beds were spring beds. They were firm but not too firm. The side deck was perfect for morning coffee or a meal. They also supply several beach chairs, an umbrella, and toys. We walked about a mile to the zoo. It was bigger than you’d think. The beach was a 5 minute walk. Close distance to restaurants. Definitely check out Harbor Country Adventures, Sea Rock Adventures. It’s a speed boat tour of the dunes and local history. Perfect for thrill seekers! It’s a mile away.

Nice place but not comfortable
Overall the apartment is nice enough with updated finishes but the couches were badly stained, the bedrooms were small and the mattresses/pillows were BAD. So thin and uncomfortable. We ended up driving the hour home on our last night instead of sleeping and leaving in the morning just to avoid another restless night. Think in hindsight it’s pricey for what it is. We also had to do a lot of required cleaning (take all trash out, wash and dry towels, strip beds) so not sure why the cleaning fee is as high as it is.

Great stay in October
Our first trip to Lake Michigan was a great and we enjoyed our stay. Duplex was clean and well maintained. Lots of towels. Appreciated the beach chairs and toys. Plenty of paper towels, clean up supplies, etc. Utensils and pots and pans were meh but not unexpected for a vacation rental. Nice appliances. We had a one year old new walker with us and this place was pretty babyproof. Appreciated that the canoe type bookcase was secured to wall and we used cushions to block off fireplace edges. Only suggestion would be to add a window covering on the glass of the main entry door.
Michigan City was too cute. It was the off season so it was pretty quiet but this place is a great location to the park, beach, zoo, restaurants, brewery, and more. I guess the quickest way to the beach on foot would be via the park nextdoor--- we weren't exactly sure. We drove down most of the time because it was easier with baby and they weren't charging (offseason). The zoo is small but very cute. We enjoyed visiting the National Lakeshore, Zorn Brewery, Lakeshore Coffee Shop, and Royale Burgers. We had a delivery of groceries from Wal-Mart delivered on our first night which worked out perfectly. Thanks!

Great place and short walk to the beach!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this property. They had everything we needed and we got a lot of use out of the beach umbrella and chairs. It was perfect for our 4th of July vacation.

Nice little place to stay.
Overall, the "cabin" was clean and efficient. Had most everything we needed. However, there weren't any instructions for the TV, so we weren't able to use it at all, even though the TV came on, the remotes either didn't work or we weren't able to figure them out. After a heavy rain storm, there was water on the kitchen floor in the morning. We aren't sure what the cleaning fee covers, since we were asked to strip all the bedding off the beds, wash any towels/washcloths we used, dry them too, and take out the trash before leaving. Seemed a bit high if we had to do all of that!

great place to stay
the condo was adorable. looked just like the pics. walking distance to beach and zoo. adorable little getaway. only complaint was the hard mattress, but i like my memory foam, so it would be fine for those preferring a firmer mattress. still a great place to stay.

Good Value
Overall this property is a decent value. (2) twins, (1) dbl., (1) queen sleeper sofa. Sleeps 5 at a maximum. Cleaning fee is unfair. Between two different guests, cleaning crew spent no more than 10min on each occasion “cleaning” apt next door. Our apt (126 Prairie) was generally clean, but not spotless: cobwebs in ceiling corners (complete w/dead bugs), filthy broiler (someone’s old toast still in there), feet turned black just walking around inside the apartment, sand in washer bleach dispenser & around washer rim, crumbs around dishwasher seal. Most things were in working condition, but found it a bit dangerous that the bathroom sink top was not glued down. Location is good: walking distance to the zoo, park & play lots, marina, and beach. No direct access to beach. Walk to the beach totals ~3blks plus the dune, and requires about 1 block along Lake Shore Dr (busy highway, but navigated commonly by pedestrians). You’ll need to drive for groceries no matter what and, if you have little kids, restaurants too. Private deck exposed to next door neighbors, but neighbors are great. Nice space on deck. Grilling set up is good. Kitchen could use more tools, but one can improvise. Beach umbrella, chairs, and sand toys ready to use. Management team is very responsive.

Short and Sweet Getaway!
This lovely home is clean, comfy, and very pretty with lots of natural sunlight! It was a real treat to have the beach just a l five minute walk away from the property. It was neat to be able to see Chicago's skyline from the beach's shoreline. The host was extremely communicative about the beach possibly being closed down since there was a beach closure in August. The host did well with providing alternative beaches to visit if the nearby Sheridan beach was closed. To avoid crowds of people, we found it best to visit the beach during the weekdays and in the early mornings. This was the perfect getaway for a change of scenery! Looking forward to visiting again!
