We stayed at Bob’s as a group of 14 for one week. This house had pros and cons, I’ll start with the pros:Pros:* the location of this house is excellent. It’s very easily the biggest selling feature as the house is in the middle of all the amenities. My family really enjoyed being able to cross the street for the pool, club house, and both lakes. * We easily slept 14 people here. We had a total of 5 individual families and we were each able to have our own space to sleep. * The large open layout of the kitchen/living/dining area was really nice as well. This was an area we used quite a bit. * The management office was very nice and helpful with all of our questions throughout the week. Cons:* This house needs a DEEP cleaning. After just a day here, the bottoms of our feet were black from walking in the house. * It’s evident that the owners didn’t take comfort into mind when choosing furniture and rather chose the cheapest items they could find. The beds, couches and chairs are very uncomfortable. * For a house that sleeps 14, it does not seat more than 5-6 in the living room. In the evenings when we’d want to relax and spend some time at the house, most were stuck sitting at the counter or going to their bedroom to sit. Those bedrooms didn’t have any comfortable seating options and there are no televisions in the bedrooms for those who’d prefer to watch something rather than read. * An outdoor space would be an excellent addition to this house too. A small area out front with a fire pit and a few chairs could easily be added instead of the weeds growing in the dirt. This house needs some love. It’s overall functional and served its purpose for the week, but it appears the owners don’t much care about the house and its guests. I’m not entirely sure I’d stay here again without some MAJOR updates.

Reviewer Comments:
Check in was easy and helpful at the front desk. Was unfortunate to get into property to find the thermostats were all programmed to be set at 49 degrees. Took until late evening for the house to warm up to acceptable levels. House was clean but starting to show lots of wear and tear. Carpeting upstairs had many stains throughout and dish washer was not cleaning dishes very well even with rinsing prior to loading. Wine/beverage cooler in kitchen also did not work. Given the size of the house, more plates and bowls would be a nice touch as well.

I booked Bob’s Boathouse for a family gathering. Other relatives rented other houses on the resort property. We went in October and the resort really didn’t have much to offer in terms of activities. The rental itself was as described in the listing. There were quite a few maintenance-type issues (I.e. screen door didn’t slide well, cracked toilet seat). These issues were not disruptive to our stay and were reported on checking out. Note that none of the houses my group had were mobility friendly. All had steps and Bob’s Boathouse had no railings. The space was great and the resort was located close to a lot of area attractions.

Reviewer Comments:
Sixteen of our family members stayed for 5 nights over Labor Day weekend. This is our fourth visit to Beachwalk. It's wonderful having a beach community right here in the Midwest! Everyone loved the location of the house . . . closer to the beach than we've ever been and right across the street from all of the wonderful new resort activities. The house doesn't come with a golf cart, which adds so much to the fun of staying at Beachwalk; so we rented one from Lancam. The house itself was spacious, clean, and well-stocked, with a good ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms; and the bedrooms were all nice and big. The huge great room (LR, DR, and kitchen all in one) gave us a fantastic place to hang out. Definitely a 5-star vacation!!

Reviewer Comments:
We choose Michigan City because it is close to Lake Michigan, our grandchildren (ages 3-10) love the beach and the waves! Our immediate family (4 families) live in Central Wisconsin, Madison, WI area and Northville, MI so we choose this location because it is somewhat centrally located for us. This is our 3rd year at Beachwalk Rentals and Bob's Boathouse is probably our favorite location and the lay-out of the house was very suitable for our family. Close to everything....the beach, the pool, the playground, the pickleball courts, the new ice cream building, the splashpad, and the registration desk. Overall a great 4+ days! Suggestions to the property owners would be please provide more rugs for entrance and bathrooms and more towels!

We've stayed at Bob's Boathouse for 3 years now because of the location. Our families enjoy the pirch fireplace and large gathering area. The building/furnishings could use a lot of love, but we overlook that for the location.

Location was great! Staff friendly :)Unfortunately we will not stay here again though for many reasons - the kitchen was not well stocked and it was very dirty - mold in the dishwasher we had to clean out and lots of food crumbs and dried liquid around the trash and recycle area. Beds were extremely uncomfortable. Living room furniture was stained so we covered them with blankets. Carpets dirty so we wore shoes inside.

We had a great time with plenty of space for our family. The house was perfectly located near the pool, Lake Kai, cafe and playground and a short walk to Lake Michigan. The house needs a good cleaning, especially the floor and some repairs. The cabinet where the trash cans were kept was very dirty and hard to access. The basement smelled bad, maybe mold. However, we did enjoy our stay and would rent again.

This was our 14th year at Beachwalk Resort and at least our 10th year at BBH. Weather didnt totally cooperate but it didnt stop my 7 grandkids from totally enjoy their week. I love the feel of BBH beause of the very open first floor. We are never crowded or falling over each other. A plus is that every bedroom has its own private bathroom. See you next year.

We enjoyed the beach walk community. We found it very unique. The staff was helpful and friendly. The only complaint was the cleanliness of the home. Smelled like fish when you walked in. The inside trash drawer was filthy as well as the floors. Our feet were filthy. When opening some windows we saw that the ledges were green. Carpet and couches were in need of after too. I pulled out a ridge d fry pan which was covered in solidified grease. There were broken beach floats under the side stairs.

Our New Years Eve stay was very enjoyable. The house is as described and fit our family perfectly. I didn't remember on the house description but there is a loft with 2 twins and a basement (not really finished) with a ping pong table. The management company was fantastic - there was not a BBQ grill, so we called and one was delivered. We will definitely rent again, hopefully the summer!
