It was just perfect!

The house and accommodations were perfect for a family vacation! The screened in back porch was our favorite hangout place!

Lovely home

This home is absolutely stunning and very accommodating for 3 families for our recent vacation. Spacious rooms, tons of amenities for the 3 children- plenty of beach toys, games, videos, and the game room was a hit! Our favorite feature of the home, which occupied most of our night time, was the over sized screened in patio; we spent plenty of nights playing games and cards until the wee hours! Beachwalk Resort is a great for walking, a short golf cart drive to the beach and a short 5 minute walk to the playground; which was used daily. Upon arrival we realized the golf cart hadn't been charged and the charger wasn't working. Rachel was quick to respond, unfortunately it couldn't be corrected so we rented one from the main office which wasn't a deal breaker. You definitely will want a golf cart for beach transportation to and from the beach. We took short hikes in the wooded trails around the resort and our favorite venture was to St. Joseph to see the lighthouse- highly recommended!!! St. Joseph also has a children's museum, discovery zone and a huge water feature with sprinklers near the beach for the kids. We enjoyed the outlet shopping and the casino in close proximity to the house as well as a drive to see the beautiful Notre Dame campus during our visit. The resort displayed a very welcoming community of tourists, we met our next door neighbors day 2 and their daughter joined right in with our kids for nighttime bonfires and smores', fun on the putting green and a late afternoon lemonade stand! Thanks Rachel for the memories your house provided for our family vacation to bring Michigan and Virginia travelers together!

The house is beautiful and very clean. Loved the kitchen and the screened in back porch. Beds were set up exactly as listed which was perfect for our 2 families. Any questions sent to the owner were answered promptly.

Beautiful home! Loved the large screened in porch and the side yard with the putting green. Three families (12 people) stayed in this house and there was plenty of room for all. We also loved the location even though it was further away from the beach. We did rent the golf cart but we found that many of us still wanted to walk. Highly recommend the Dubliner house.

Excellent home.

The property was everything I thought it would be and more fully equipped with everything including a gift from the host! Disappointed the pool was closed our entire stay but we made the most of it

For years our family of 7 has stayed in cottages up and down the Michigan shore-line. When we stumbled on the Dubliner on VRBO it seemed like the perfect getaway for our crew... and it was in every way! Rachel was an absolute pleasure to work with and she takes great pride in this home. It is beautifully decorated, carefully maintained, and had everything that we could have possibly dreamed of for our stay. Elegant rooms, comfortable beds, great climate control, a sprawling and properly screened-in back porch, new appliances throughout, TV loaded with entertainment options for the kids and family including indoor games and pool/beach toys and gear, great park right behind the house, and an awesome zoo a very short drive away... the list goes on and on. The pool is easily walk-able and the beach is a pleasant stroll away. That said, we took advantage of a new "trolley" service offered in the village where a driver picked us all up in a jumbo golf cart and brought us around (Note: a golf cart is offered with the house but we needed more seats for our crew). Kayaks can be taken out on the smaller lake there which was just a blast for the bigger kids. The community pool was great, especially the 2' kiddie pool for the little ones. They also had both a pack-n-play and a crib to choose from which was amazing and saved us critical trunk space. Rachel, Thank You -- You really thought of everything! We'd surely love to stay here again!

This property was our home base for a extended family trip. We all met here from all across the country. The property was well equipped to accommodate everyone including the children. Located walking distance to the lake, pool and just a short golf cart ride to the beach, though also completely walkable. The property was very nice and updated it basically had everything you would need. Ample space to relax inside, on the large screened in porch or the side patio around the fire pit during those cooler evening.

We had a wonderful time staying at The Dubliner! The house was clean and spacious and had everything we might want. The kids (and grownups) loved riding around on the golf cart, visiting the pool, and cutting through the backyard to the great playground. And of course, the beach is beautiful and so close by -- how can you go wrong?

For the 2nd year in a row, our sons' families have joined us for our summer gala at the Dubliner cottage. The cottage is perfect for us. The home's floor plan allows for plenty of room whether on the main floor or on the other 2 levels. The screened-in porch is a special bonus. The porch table allowed 12 of us to enjoy our dinners together while the kitchen counter was perfect for flexible seating at breakfast & lunch. The porch also has an area set up with comfortable seating for conversations, reading, or just relaxing. The bedrooms & baths are well appointed. The cottage has always been super clean and easy to maintain during our week. While the cottage is further back into Beach Walk, there's a wonderful playground seconds from the porch door, the pool is 5 minutes, and Lake Michigan is a little further. We have rented the cottage's golf cart, which is a fun addition and very practical. As an endorsement, we have reserved the cottage for the same summer week in 2019!

This was our 6th visit to Beachwalk and our 2nd stay at the Dubliner. Gorgeous house, very well stocked, and golf cart included! We don’t have to worry about bringing beach chairs or cart/wagon...all that is provided! Kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. Owner is very responsive to any questions/issues. Love that there is a TV area downstairs for the kids. We are already finalizing our dates to stay at the Dubliner again in 2019!

We had a family reunion with two families and grandma. This house fit us all very comfortably (8 kids!). The kitchen and porch were perfect for winding down after a day at the beach every day. There is a park for the kids to play just right off the back of the house. To get to Sheridan beach was a 10 minute walk or a quick golf cart ride. The resort had a pool and free kayak/paddle boarding as well. The owner was very responsive when arriving and we were able to check in without any problems. We would definitely stay here again.

The Dubliner was a beautiful house with a great open floor plan, and upscale modern conveniences. The rooms accommodated our family nicely. Our family loved the game room and outdoor porch along with the putting green and bar-b-q area. The golf carts were a great aid in getting around the complex and going to the beach. Great week in Michigan City!

This was our first stay in the area, so I have no other houses to compare this property to, but we loved it! The house was well equipped for our large group of adults and toddlers...all of the necessary beach gear, kitchen tools, and comforts of home were available. We did not mind that the bocce ball and fire pit were right next to the neighbors (as in no privacy fence), but that would be something to note if you are renting this property. We only wished we had brought more toys for the toddlers to play with in the house because we ended up with rainy weather during our stay. A baby gate for the stairs would be a something to bring for toddlers as well. We made great use of the park directly behind the house and did make the short walk to the beach and pool a few times. We did not get a golf cart and did not miss it, but would consider it in the future because the kids would have enjoyed it. The back porch and the kitchen ended up being our gathering areas, as the living room did not have enough comfortable seating for more than 4 adults unless someone was willing to sit on the floor. We would definitely recommend this property and hope to return in the future!

We visited the Dubliner and had a great time! Perfect place for families given the amenities and beach/pool nearby. Also, the House was very clean and well-outfitted. Awesome stay!

We loved every minute of our stay at this beautiful home. It is simply impeccable. Spotlessly clean and so comfortable with top of the line, modern amenities, furniture and fixtures. The home is breathtaking - beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, clean, spacious bed rooms, a GORGEOUS large functional kitchen and dining area, an inviting and light-filled living room, AND a fabulous covered deck to lounge in. There is also a charming fire pit and a putting green! Downstairs in addition to a bathroom and bedroom, there is a lovely "play area" - fully equipped for kids of all ages...Foosball, table tennis and a plethora of games. There is also a golf cart available for rent. Hosts Rachel and Simon have really thought of EVERYTHING to make The Dubliner an unbeatable place to stay. It is so much better than staying at a hotel as it truly was a home away from home. The Beachwalk Resort itself is charming. Overall, I couldn't rate this as less than 5 stars. It is great value for money and we can't wait to go back to the delightful Dubliner!

We traveled with another family to the Dubliner and we had the best time. The house was gorgeous and fully stocked, making our trip a breeze. We traveled with kids ranging from 8 months to 9 years old, and the house accommodated everyone. Beach walk is the perfect getaway for families, and I highly recommend the Dubliner! I wish I was back on that screened in porch having a glass of wine and enjoying friends and family!

Beautiful beach home. Spacious, clean, well decorated. Amazing screened in back deck. Great activities (pool, ping pong table, beach, fire pit, etc) either at the house or close by! We loved our stay.

This new home was just wonderful and so lovely decorated with an Ireland theme throughout. There were eleven of us with four children and seven adults. The three levels provided plenty of space for all of us. The large screened patio was great for our evenings and many breakfasts. The home was well supplied with all the necessary amenities. The many colorful dishes always provided a beautifully set table. The wine cooler provided plenty of space for all the various drinks as it was warm weather. We went to the beach daily vs the pool. The golf cart and beach wagon was helpful getting supplies to the boardwalk. The children enjoyed catching many fish in the small pond and the playground behind the house. The welcome note and French wine were a nice "greeting touch". I would recommend this Dubliner home to anyone. It would be fantastic if I could get the God Children together to vacation here again. Thanks Rachel and Simon for sharing your absolutely beautiful home. Mary

The Dubliner is an amazingly well designed home with thoughtful features for the beach-goer(s). The Dubliner has an great outdoor spaces including an enormous outdoor screened-in porch, a second floor porch of equal size, and a patio with fire pit. There is also a neighborhood playground ~100 ft from the back door, a bonus for families. playground The interior is an open floor plan with high-end finishes that are both luxurious and resilient. The front stoop is in walking distance from the pool (~5 min) & the Beach (~10 min). I look forward to staying there again!

This was an amazing vacation for our family. The Dubliner is more beautiful than the pictures, and so conveniently located. Our grandchildren loved the nearby playground, we all loved the screened porch, and the layout of the kitchen/living room made it easy for everyone to enjoy each other's company. We will definitely try to rent it again on our next vacation!

The Dubliner is the perfect property for two families wanting to vacation together. We loved the location within the Beachwalk community - off the beaten path and sits right on the children's playground. The home features a fabulous outdoor screened in porch with fans which is where we spent the majority of our time. We loved the style and decor throughout the place. The owner Rachel was very attentive and accessible, she has made sure there is all the needed amenities for a beach/lake vacation with kids, we didn't have to pack sand toys or extra towels. We will be returning to The Dubliner!
