About this house rental

*9 bedrooms total, 6 full baths.
*Brand new kitchen in 2021, all new modern bathrooms in 2019.

**Book now for Notre Dame game weekends, or your holiday gatherings. Winter getaway weekends are better at the beach! Our original stone fireplace is absolutely enchanting during the cold months.

Why compromise for your VIP gatherings? Our returning guests enjoy the easy beach access, minimal steps to two main floor suites for two sets of grandparents, and a private patio able to hold your outdoor meals in relaxed comfort. Enjoy your Lake Michigan beach walks with a beverage in hand, barbecues on the oversized Weber grill, and gatherings on the private patio with gas fire pit--all with the perfect blend of convenience and elevated comfort for everyone.

As one of the original homes in Sheridan Beach, this stately property has just undergone a complete renovation and upgrade. Unlike any other property in the area, you'll enjoy the perfect blend of a convenient walk to the water's edge, plentiful modern bathrooms and privacy for your extended family, along with a beautiful 800sf private "terrazza" with natural gas firepit and grill. With designer-grade finishes, and tasteful, travel-themed artwork throughout, you will enjoy an elevated and relaxing stay in this comfortable home designed with extended family gatherings in mind. Only 60 minutes from Chicago by car, or 90 minutes from Midway Airport. The new kitchen features a 36” Bertazzoni gas range, quartz countertops, plentiful lighting, and is well-equipped with all the serving ware and tools needed to prepare great meals for your whole crew.

We purchased the property in 2017, and have worked hard to renovate and upgrade the property, while preserving its character and charm, to go with its fabulous location. Many of our guests return year after year, because they appreciate the superb location, convenience and comfort, along with the new modern bathrooms, premium linens and guest amenities. We recently upgraded to fiber optic internet, which accommodates up to 75 devices. Stream your music to our premium Sonos sound system, and use your login to watch your favorite shows on one of two HDTVs.

It's rare to find a large home that can comfortably accommodate so many different couples and their children, but this one did! Loved the large back patio, two long picnic tables, and fire pit. It was a great place for all to gather and enjoy the weekend!

We always have the best time staying at this property. The home has just the right balance of together space and private space for large parties (20+ people). It is clean, close to the beach and comes supplied with everything you'll need to create lasting memories for everyone!

The space and location were perfect for a multi-generation family. The owners have provided all the amenities needed for a big family that likes to cook. The back patio and fire pit were the perfect gathering place at the end of the day.

Our group really enjoyed their time at La Terrazza. This is an older home that has been renovated thoughtfully. The kitchen is not enormous but it is very functional and well-stocked. It was great to have six couples in the house who all had their own bathroom. The best part is the location - a very easy and safe walk to the beach access with mats along the dunes to help get wagons to the beach. We had some issues with appliances being finicky, but the owners were very responsive in helping us get them working. I would definitely recommend this property to any family looking for a Lake Michigan vacation.

Our family of 19 people, ages 5 to 73, enjoyed our stay in Michigan City. The house had everything we needed... lots of plates, flatware and cooking stuff! Plenty of room for us to spend time together and privacy when we needed it. The homeowners were great and responsive. The house was clean and tidy! Will be going there again next year!

Spacious and yet cozy. Great outdoor patio in back . Plenty of amenities within. Short walk to the beautiful lakeshore of Lake Michigan. The host was very responsive and checked in several times to make sure we were comfortable
