While the pictures and amenities were the initial draw, its so much better in person. Newly remodeled and has everything you could need in the fully stocked kitchen. Screened in porch was a huge bonus and the we spent every night at the fire pit. The beachwalk area is really cute and close to everything. Casino was 5 minutes away and New Buffalo only about 15 minutes. But you dont really need to go anywhere. Nicole as a great host, super informative and checked in with us to make sure everything was to our liking. Will definitely stay again!!!

Really beautiful home in Beachwalk. Home is in like new condition with a lot of luxury finishes. Kitchen was well stocked and extras of everything were provided. The screened in back patio was perfect for enjoying the cool mornings and evenings. Nicole was a great host and provided ample information about check-in and made it easy to get in touch. We were staying with a 2 year old and he had an absolute blast and loved both the house and the pool, beach. Would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our 1st visit to Beachwalk Community and Dune Our Thing house was a beautiful place to live for the week; light and airy, gorgeous finishes, and very clean and organized! With 3 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms downstairs our two families were each able to have their own space. The beds were comfortable and bedrooms were spacious. The main level was a great hang out space and had everything we could think of- games and puzzles, couch and table space for all nine of us, and every kitchen utensil/pan/dishes we needed! The front and back porch were wonderful, and the firepit was great too! Location was great (near the playground and off the busy main street) and the golf cart was so nice to have. Beach items like pails and shovels, chairs, umbrella, etc. were so nice to have! Nicole was easy to communicate with and quick to respond before and during our stay. Highly recommend staying here- we dream of returning soon!

From initial reservation to now...we just arrived home, Nicole was a superior host. It is instantly evident the pride and effort that Nicole and her team put into sharing her beach house with us and many others. Dune Oue Thing was appointed nicely and is a perfect place for families. From the playground out back, the included golf cart, tons of beach/pool toys, beautiful screened porch and fireplace, we found we had everything we needed. The interior is immaculate and spacious. Plan to return annually.

We greatly enjoyed Dune our Thing for our family vacation getaway from the city. We’ve come to the area for the last 5 years and this year set the bar for our future 4th of July gatherings in large part because of our rental location and set up. The host was most thoughtful on the finest details and very responsive to all questions, we look forward to staying again next year!

We had a lovely time staying at Nicole’s home in Beachwalk. We have been to Beachwalk many times prior but was our first time in this home and we are already ready to book next summer! Everything was clean and well maintained for a rental home. Nicole was easy to communicate with and accommodated our requests. The location of the home is perfect and fit our needs very well. We loved the options of the front or back porch and the kids loved the golf cart rides! Our only suggestions would be a few extra towels and a rear view mirror on the golf cart. Thank you for letting us use your home!

We had a great trip to Beachwalk this past week. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Nicole was very attentive and the check in process was super easy. The location of this house with the park in the backyard was a huge bonus. We loved nights by the fire pit and golf cart rides around the neighborhood. We would definitely return!

The owners very clearly take a lot of pride in their home and are extremely thoughtful in their approach to hospitality. Their communication was clear, friendly, and thorough. Check-in could not have been any easier, and the few times that we did have questions, they responded quickly. The house itself was beautiful and was equipped beyond our expectations. It really made for a worry-free and relaxing week. We appreciated how clean and cozy everything was, it truly felt like a home and not a rental property. The layout of the house was perfect for multiple families with young kids to share the space. We never felt cramped when the house was full and when one of us had to stay back when the baby napped, it was still refreshing because the home is so nice. The community itself was really fun and a great location. There was enough to do even on a week when the weather was spotty. The included golf cart was a huge hit with the kids, but it was also really nice just to walk around. Even though the home is located further from the beach, it is a very pleasant and easy walk. We would highly recommend a week at Dune Our Thing!

We had a fantastic time at Dune Our Thing. Our extended family stayed for a week in June and it was exactly as described. The location is great - Beachwalk Resort is a cute little beach community, with a 10 minute walk to the beach. The golf cart is an added bonus, and a fun way to get around the property or to lug equipment for little kids to the beach. We especially enjoyed the screened back port - we spent most of our time out there hanging out, eating, playing with the kids, or reading. We had four children 3 and under and felt the house was very well set up for families - plenty of bedrooms, and the kitchen table with benches easily accommodated everyone for family meals. Highly recommend!

This was one of our best stays yet. Overall, traveling with a 8 year old, 5 year old infant and 2 older grandparents is stressful on its own. We couldn't of had a more perfect property to accommodate all of our needs. Activity wise, the kids were enamored with the pool, play area, golf cart, and lake. They went apple picking, and enjoyed every ounce this area had to offer. My parents also enjoyed the peace and quiet of the area, as well as the golf cart (apparently for all ages). The house itself was beautiful, everything looked and felt brand new. Nicole was a great host and responded to every question we had about the neighborhood and such. It's a great area, house, and host overall.

We spent a week at Dune Our Thing and already can't wait to plan a return visit! The home as fabulous as pictured: immaculate, up-to-date with all furnishings and decor, lots of natural light, and had all the necessities and more (including wagon for the beach, beach chairs, beach umbrella). There was ample space across the home's three floors plus the outdoor patios and backyard firepit for our extended family of 9 (ages 5 - 70+) to relax and spread out. We enjoyed cooking dinners in the well-appointed kitchen, dining as a family on the outdoor screened in-porch, and making S'mores over the firepit. And highly recommend renting the golf cart--it was so convenient to get to the beach, cart our beach gear around and to tour the beautiful Beachwalk community. Nicole takes tremendous pride in her home and ensuring her guests feel welcome and have everything they need. Off-property, we ventured out to dinner on the patio of Shoreline Brewing (highly recommend the hot pretzel and great craft beer selection) and rented jet skis at Harbor Country Rentals.

We had a lovely stay in Beachwalk this past week and Nicole’s home was perfect. We really appreciated the fact that it didn’t feel like a rental. It was so clean and set up with everything we needed. Nicole is easy to communicate with - she checked in with us to make sure everything was okay when we arrived. I let her know we were arriving later in the evening our first night and she left the parking and pool passes at the house to save us a step from having to pick them up at the pool. She also went to the house after our check out to make sure everything was good for the next guest. She really puts in the extra effort to make sure the place looks great and it shows. Aside from how nice the house was, we also appreciated the clean grill, all the games and the beach umbrella (our tent broke so it came in handy). Thanks for everything!!!

House had everything we needed! Three families with kids ranging from age 6-13. Plenty of room for everyone. Enjoyed the screened in porch, and access to the park right in the backyard. We did not use the Beachwalk pool due to crowds/COVID, but enjoyed the beautiful MI city beaches every day. Having a golf cart was great for carting stuff back and forth from beach. Beach toys/chairs and beach umbrella also provided. Kitchen was well stocked-- we ate in for every meal and had everything we needed. House was clean and tastefully decorated-- felt like home! Would recommend this property to any of my friends, and would stay again.

Everything about the house, the community and the amenities were excellent. The owner, Nicole, is first rate. There is definitely pride of ownership. The house is in beautiful condition. We had a wonderful vacation.

Beautiful home and owners are wonderful to work with! Highly recommend

We had such an amazing time at Dune Our Thing. The house was beautiful. Had everything we needed for our extended family! The golf cart was an added bonus. So much fun. This lot was perfect! The owners were so easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend this house for anyone coming to the area. So much to do. The beach, pool, park right behind us, fishing- my son caught 8 fish in less than an hour one evening! The grocery store was right down the street- with 6 teenagers....we were there quite often! Outlet mall close too! Mount Baldy just down the road....the lighthouse so close. The kids really enjoyed walking to that. Just a great area to see many things. I loved being able to sit down and eat dinner with everyone. I can’t say enough about how amazing this place is. Thank you Nicole and Gordon for sharing your beautiful home with us!!! (Bonus- the weather was so good to us!!!) Nikki

Our family enjoyed staying at your home. The floor plan was just right for our family and we found everything just as it was described to us. The location was great, and the many activities in the area provided fun for everyone. What an enjoyable vacation it was for our first visit to Michigan City.

Easy to find what we wanted/needed. This home was lovelier than the photos. Well equipped kitchen, plenty of seating, two fabulous porches. One enclosed . Fantastic

Beautiful home, and appointed as advertised. Communication with the owner made check in and out as easy as could be. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the access to the fire pit and playground was perfect for us!

My family and I had a wonderful extended weekend here. The house is beautiful and very well kept. The screened in porch offered a great gettaway for that morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The basement gave a nice escape for our older boys to play their games. My youngest kids loved the golf cart rides through the subdivision. The open concept dining, kitchen, and livingroom gave a large amount of space for us all to bond together as a family. The community has a charming beach feel, offering many activities that our family enjoyed. The owners were great and we look forward to renting from them again.

Everything you will need and want for an amazing vacation. Clean, stylish and perfect for a family or group of friends. You will not be disappointed!

The home felt new and cozy. I loved the screened in porch in the back the most.

I can’t appropriately express how sweet of a rental experience this was for our family! Nicole was extremely helpful and responsive to questions. She treasures her home and wants to ensure you have a fantastic time during your visit. The house is beautiful, extremely functional for families with kids (the park right out back is a huge bonus!) Well kept, clean, spacious, well-thought out, and organized. The front porch and screened-in back porch were great places to enjoy the weather and peacefulness of the place. The golf cart was both helpful and fun for transporting kids to the beach. The community is beautiful and quiet. Definitely recommend this property!

Every year we rent a house in the area for Labor Day. This by far was the best. Very nicely appointed and great amenities, Everything is up to date and clean. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch and the fire pit. The access to the park behind the house was great for kids, and the golf cart allowed easy access to the community. The owner was very pleasant to work with and was responsive to all question and inquiries. We will definitely be back, it was wonbderful.

The house was perfect for our families. It was amazingly equipped with everything you could need. It was in immaculate condition. It is obviously well loved and taken care of. Lots to do in the area; zoo, playground, pool, beach, casino, .... and more. We had a wonderful time!

Nicole was a great host! She was available and responded to texts immediately! Everything was perfect on arrival! The house was spotless. The house was nice and new with a very nice decor. The firepit in the backyard and the screened in back porch were awesome! Can’t go wrong booking this house for a week in Michigan City!

We loved the spacious, open living area that accommodated our family and occasional visitors. We spent a lot of time inside because of the 90 degree heat on several days and a couple of days that were rainy and perfect for spending time on the screened in porch. We got to the beautiful beach on the other days and took advantage of the kayaks and paddle boards. There are many good restaurants nearby, but we cooked family dinners most days in the well stocked kitchen. You can tell that the owners have paid close attention to every detail for comfort and convenience. I can't think of anything they've missed. I especially enjoyed being at the quiet end of Beachwalk. Easy access to Route 12 makes trips to New Buffalo or Michigan City very convenient, as well as our annual ride to Captain Mike's Adventure Park in Sawyer. This is definitely the best vacation house we've ever rented.

This home is new, clean and has all that you will need for a great family vacation. This is our eighth year staying in Beachwalk, we have rented several other homes in the community. This one is the best one we have stayed at and will continue to rent from from Nicole. We would highly recommend renting this home, owners are wonderful and easy to get ahold of for any questions, or needs you may have during your stay.

Dune Our Thing was the perfect rental property for our family vacation- 12 family members, ages 5-71. The property is very clean and well organized. All of the necessary amenities, including beach toys, chairs and an umbrella, are all included. My family's favorite part of the house was the large screened in back porch. It was a great spot for morning coffee, afternoon cocktails (perfectly located beverage refrigerator), and evening card playing. The house was perfectly located next to the playground for the smaller kids and was an easy walk, bike ride or golf cart ride to the pool and beach. The community has a great vacation vibe. Nicole was very easy to work with and responded quickly to any questions we had.
