About this house rental
What makes us special? Our rental is privately owned and managed by 1 family and this is our ONLY vacation rental. If you are sick of the cookie cutter rentals that have basic necessities and basic cleaning practices then we are here to make your stay comfortable and unique to you! We don't settle for anything less than what we would want out of a vacation home for our family. If you have a special request that falls outside of our stay requirements, just send me a message and we can try to make something work out!

Welcome to “Take It Easy.” Purchased and recently updated in March 2023! Right as you enter the community of Beachwalk, the rainbow of homes welcomes you with feelings of joy and excitement. You may spot the community heated pool, sand volleyball court, basketball court, tennis court, multiple parks and soo much more! Our beautiful home is located quietly in the back of the community RIGHT on Lake Kai. There are only a few homes in Beachwalk that offer waterfront and a private sandy beach! In the home an array of windows throughout the 3 floors allows for stunning natural light and GORGEOUS picturesque views of the lake. We are locals and have lived in the NW Indiana and SW Michigan area our whole lives. We are so proud of our little piece of paradise, and we can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself!
Sorry but we DO NOT ALLOW ANY PETS in our home. We love our animals too but we must be respectful to our renters with allergies. If we find that you have snuck a pet in you will be asked to leave with no refund.
We value your sense of security so we just added an ADT Security system and coded front door keypad that will be changed with every new renter. We will send you the code right before your stay. Beachwalk offers their own security that patrols the community as well. It is a very safe area but it’s nice to know these things are offered.
The main floor offers a dining table, fully stocked kitchen with utensils, dishes, cups, coffee makers (both drip and Keurig), paper towels, garbage bags, baby high chair, double dishwasher, countertop seating, open floorplan living room, TV with Firestick, a two way fireplace that also opens onto the fully screened in porch! Newly refreshed with brand new screens, paint, ceiling fans, extra large dining table that seats 12, rugs, and a cozy outdoor couch to snuggle around the fireplace. Steps head down from this porch directly to the private sandy beach and Lake Kai. Back on the main floor we have a full bathroom with tub/shower combo, all the linens, blow dryer, hotel sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, and lotion. The commode area is separated behind a door. This bathroom opens directly into the main hallway and also into a bedroom with a Queen size bed. Down the hall is ONE of the master bedrooms with a King size bed and two bathrooms inside including one with just the commode and sink and the other with a large glass walk in shower and sink. All of the bathrooms in the home are fully stocked with the items I mentioned in the first bathroom description. We’ve also included 2 baby gates for the stairs, 2 pack n plays with sheets, 1 mini crib, and 1 baby bath seat.
Upstairs you’ll be welcomed into the loft area that overlooks the main floor. We have two cozy futons that open into Full size beds, a sweet window surrounded nook that has the best view of the lake. We added a two couches to enjoy quiet mornings sipping coffee when the weather isn’t “deck ready,” chatting with your loved ones or snuggled up reading a book! Right next to the nook you can head out to the second story deck. We just replaced all the wooden decking with composite decking for comfort and durability. This deck is not covered so it’s the place to be to lay out and enjoy the sun! It also has a gas outdoor fireplace and on outdoor couch for a cozy spot to sit and enjoy your favorite drink and look up at the stars. The second master bedroom is right down the hall and features a King size bed, a twin bed, TV with firestick and attached large bathroom with HUGE all glass shower complete with multiple spray nozzles. There is a second door in the bathroom for hallway access.
Downstairs on the ground floor you’ll find the laundry room stocked with a new washer and dryer, detergent and dryer sheets, slop sink, and an extra fridge. Down the hall is a bathroom with a shower, the bunk room with a bunk of two Twins and a bunk of two Fulls, a smaller bedroom with Queen bed, a futon and TV with firestick. A large living room with two couches, games and puzzles, a TV with firestick, and a brand new air hockey/ping pong table. You can head outside to the concrete patio to relax in the shade, enjoy our brand new HOT TUB, cook on the new gas grill, or enjoy your private sandy beach and fire pit! We are located right next to the brand new bocce ball court, shuffle board court and kayak and paddleboard rentals! They are free to rent with your Beachwalk Community wristbands! Make sure to hold your spot by visiting funatbeachwalk.com to sign up for a timeslot to play or paddle! Right from our beach you can walk down the boardwalk along the lake to the community pool, splashpad, sand volleyball court, clubhouse with observation deck, pool table, ping pong table, inside and outside decks, big screen TV, and the communities very own restaurant called the Beach Hut. Just a little bit farther down you will walk down the white boardwalk to the beach and Lake Michigan! We have a wagon to help haul down those beach must haves and 8 beach chairs!
FISHING! You can fish dawn to dusk on the main fishing pier at 234 Beachwalk Lane and in the ponds at Waterfall Park and Putting Green Park. You can also fish the pier located directly next to our house but you will need to do it before the kayak rentals start at 8:00am. You can fish off the beach in our back yard at anytime too of course.
Golf Cart rentals are a breeze through the community’s approved vendor LanCam. You will call them directly at (219) 929-9221 to book your cart and schedule the drop off date.

Being a native of NC and growing up with NC beaches I didn’t expect Lake Michigan to have a wow factor. I was completely wrong and what made everything perfect was our home away from home Take it Easy. Spacious house, well stocked, first class service, and its location never left us entertainment. Fishing, kayaking, paddle boats, fire pit, and so much more all at your fingertips. The walk to Lake Michigan to see the Sunset was 5 minutes.
4.0 / 5.0
We have stayed in the Beachwalk area many times and love the location and ammenities. We did have some issues with this house (dishwasher broke mid way through our stay) and the house manager was prompt to respond but didn’t fix the problem. There were also lots of “workers” who would show up which was a little disruptive. Overall nice place.
5.0 / 5.0
The home was exactly as described. Even better in person that it looked on the listing!!
There were a couple of minor issues that I communicated to Danielle and she was very quick to respond - all was worked out quickly.
We are hoping to stay again next year. This is the third house we've had at Beachwalk and the family consensus is that it is the best one yet!!

Our family of 11 fit very well into this home located in the most ideal location in all of Beachwalk! We had back door access to everything on Lake Kai, as well as the shuffleboard and bocce ball courts! The house had all the essentials we needed and more! We enjoyed the screened in porch and the wonderful kid-friendly basement. Clear communication with the property manager was much appreciated. We'd love to come back again!!

This house was perfect for our family; 6 adults and 4 children under 6. The home was spotless and well appointed with everything we needed. The yard was huge and included a fire pit and hot tub. I highly recommend this property,

House was just a pictured, we have been at Beach walk for the last 5 years and this was/is the best of the best for us. Spacious with a great location and very clean and comfortable.

Our stay here was just amazing! We had a group of 11, including children ranging in age from 1 to 12 years. Sleeping arrangements were perfect, and there was something for everyone to do, from shuffleboard and kayak rental next door, to the park less than a 2 min walk away, to the gorgeous Lake Michigan beach. Children of all ages were easily entertained and happy, and adults could relax and vacation easily as well. Gatherings around the fire pit were a hit, and the outdoor seating allowed everyone to eat dinner together nightly. Danielle was a lovely and responsive host, and the house itself was comfortable, clean, and lovely. We have stayed in many homes in Beachwalk over the years, and this one by far fit our family and all the different ages and interests best! We cannot wait to come back for our next family reunion!!
5.0 / 5.0
Our group of 10 really enjoyed the property and all of the Beachwalk amenities.
Less than 10 minutes stroll to lake Michigan beach. Heated community pool was great, especially in early season when Lake Michigan was a little chilly.
Meals on the screened in porch off the kitchen were just fabulous with the view of lake Kai. Hot tub was great. Fire pit was a fun spot as well.
Parking was easy with space for 4 vehicles at house and an additional overflow lot less than 2 minute walk from front door.
Owner was very helpful in check in process and resolving the most minor of issues. Communication was fantastic. We look forward to returning.

The home itself was in a perfect location and we loved the enclosed patio. It was well stocked for a family of 13. The home needs some repairs etc: bedroom fan, stove fan, stove light, regulating shower water temperature. We also loved the little town setting.

My family and I rented this lovely property to celebrate the holidays. It is very spacious and was able to accommodate our large group. The owner was very easy to work with and even allowed us to check in early.
Although we stayed during the winter, the amenities were perfect for summer, so we plan on rented again when the temps are a bit warmer.

We had a great time at the house! Very spacious but there is not enough space for dining inside the house, we had to arrange the table. But everything else was nice. We had a room for everyone. The kitchen is equipped with everything that we need. Perfect getaway not far from Chicago! Thank you!

8 adults and 5 kids, plenty of room to accommodate our group, very comfy beds. Kitchen/seating worked out fine for our Thanksgiving dinner. Great view, hot tub was enjoyable. Would definately return

Our stay at "Take It Easy" couldn't have been any better. The house had great spaces for everyone to come together but also to spread out when needed. The house is well stocked and had everything you would need to make a meal. We enjoyed the various outdoor spaces and loved having coffee in the morning on the upper deck, meals in the screened porch and fires outside at night! The location of the property is great as it doesn't feel too crowded but you can easily walk to the beach and the other amenities Beachwalk has to offer. And the owners were quick to respond to any questions we had. Our only complaint is that we should have stayed longer! Thank you for letting us enjoy your home.

The property is fantastic. Multiple living areas so there are spaces to be together and apart. Multiple patio and deck areas and private beach area was enjoyed by all ages.Bathrooms are beautiful. Location location location - house is next to bocci ball and kayaks yet amazingly quiet.
The huge screened in porch was our favorite gathering place. Great family vacation.

The area is perfect for families with a wide age range of people to entertain. The house is clean, comfortable and spacious and really comfortably fit our large group. You look out the window onto a beautiful peaceful lake… if the kids had let me sit still I’d have stayed on that porch with a glass of wine all day :). Our host Danielle went above and beyond and was super lovely in general. A lot of little touches to make the stay extra special!

Our family had an awesome time at the house. It is perfectly located, lots of activities around and the beach Is in walking distance. The owner even got us some gates, a bed and a high chair for our baby.

Th property was a perfect gateway for our family gathering with 2 toddlers. Only 2 hours away from Chicago, the property is tucked away in a nice colony facing a small lake that made it a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend for everyone.
The property is very well maintained, clean with everything under the sun - Daniele was extremely responsive with every query I made even before we checked in, and during our stay. She was very welcoming host, and made our stay very comfortable.
We would love to come back again!
