This property is great! Beautiful inside and out. The only thing the group recommended was including that the shower is on the second floor:)
4.0
The check in process and communication with the host was effortless. The house was very clean and tidy and well equipped however no bathroom for the basement bedroom. No shower on main floor.
5.0
This charming older house is not far from the Indiana Dunes parks and just a couple of blocks from an excellent Italian restaurant (Lucrezia) and its shop. If you wish to cook, the kitchen is well equipped. The beds are comfortable. For us, the best part of the house was the back yard, delightfully shaded by a couple of beautiful old trees and equipped with a substantial table and chairs where we ate both breakfast and dinner and hung out until dark. Because of the house's age, the stairs to the upstairs bedroom and the basement are steep so people who are unsteady on their feet might want to stay on the main floor.
5.0
Very cool older house… lots of room… close to the beach and downtown! Great host, very accommodating! Will hopefully get to stay again
5.0
Great location! Close to parks. Lots of games and activities for evenings and rainy days. Many more amenities than we expected.
Bunk room is the only bedroom in the basement and there is only one bathroom shower (located in 2nd floor bath).
Overall a good setup for a large group.
3.0
This place is really not kid friendly. Lots of steep steps, back yard was in the process of getting an updo, so the kids did not play much out there. Rocks were the pathway, so not as easy to walk on. Would have expected a hairdryer somewhere in the house. It was ok, but really was not a great place for our family. Was expecting more for the price. Only 1 tv for the whole house? We left a day early

Home is a fantastic mix of old world and new!
We loved all the space!
Perfect for 10 of us!
And was pleasantly surprised at the pack and play that we found!
5.0
The house and yard very spacious. They had everything you need for cooking. The ping pong table is always a must when we rent. They had a lot of games for indoors and out. Close to the beaches. One beach had handicap access which was helpful. The management team was easy to get ahold of and very quick to respond.

The house was clean, well stocked and very organized. The location was great for going to the beach at Indiana Dunes State park. A nice touch was the soaps, shampoo, conditioner and lavender bath salts in each bathroom. We really enjoyed the ping pong table and games and the back yard area was very relaxing.. We enjoyed our stay and it was a great place for our short family beach vacation.
