About this property
Porter Beach Vacation Getway! Lake Michigan Beachside Home - Newly Remodeled
The Wabash Dunes house offers the perfect place to stay for families, groups of friends, and couples, with spacious bedrooms and all the comforts of home provided. It's newly renovated with hardwood floors, central air and heating, and brand new furniture.
The beach is steps away - Reference Map attached shows exact aerial view!
Large bedroom has 2 queen beds and a trunk bed that sleep 2 so a total possible of 6 people and the smaller bedroom has 1 queen bed. The total that can be accommodated is 8 and we provide a pack-n-play for any small toddlers or babies.
The home includes a well-equipped kitchen with cooking and serving implements, charcoal grill & tools, a couple of beach chairs, wagon to transport items to the beach, linens and bath towels (not beach towels), basic bathroom (TP to start, hand soap) and cleaning items, and new appliances including: dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, stove, washer, and dryer!
There is wireless internet and a smart TV with the popular apps for entertainment such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon (not cable/satellite); or you could play some of the games we provided. The house sits on a large lot, about a third of an acre, with plenty of space for parking, fun & play including sports, and relaxing; especially on the wide wooden deck. When you arrive, you will be able to park right by the house on the property, up to 4 cars!
Beautiful Lake Michigan is very close to the house with beach access! There is plenty of room to bring kayaks, paddle boards, and fun beach items that you could store on the side of the house during your stay. There are trails, sand dunes, and woods of Indiana Dunes State Park and National Lakeshore Parks next door.
Property is located 45 miles from Chicago and accessible by train, South Shore Line. There is a wide variety of dining and entertainment in the surrounding area if you are inclined to explore or on a rainy day.
Plan for your stay accordingly, but here is a list of items to consider to bring: extra toilet paper, extra paper towels, personal items/toiletries such as shampoo and conditioner, laundry soap, charcoal for the grill, food, drinks, and whatever other entertainment items you would like for your vacation.
Come and stay at Wabash Dunes for a relaxing and fun beach getaway!
Some housekeeping:
Please note there is a SIX NIGHT minimum during peak summer months.
ALL adults staying at the home must SIGN the rental agreement.
2 of the adults must provide ID's to verify age requirement (if at least 2 adult guests are staying)
The occupancy overnight cannot exceed 8 people including children. Guests can have people visit and spend time at the beach house, but not spend the night. Large parties and gatherings of more than 15 people are not permitted.
Respect the private property of neighbors!
