This is a lovely house which was big enough for us (two families of four) to stay at. Extra perk were all the beach gear (chairs, toys etc), the close distance to the beach, and the washer/dryer. For future guests: be aware that there are 5 bedrooms total, but 1 is on the ground floor (4 upstairs) and the same with the 2 bathrooms (1 upstairs 1 downstairs).All in all highly recommended and we had a lovely stay!

We loved Cottage Blue. Great location - two block walk and you're on a nice beach. Sleeps 10 comfortably, you could squeeze in 2 more. Great shower. Wifi is good, plenty of parking, easy getting in and out. Fully stocked kitchen, responsive and friendly host, quiet neighborhood. We would consider staying there again. Highly recommend.

Property was clean and ready for us with all the extras waiting (TP, laundry soap, DW soap, hand soap, paper towels, utensils, salt/pepper etc.) Front porch was spacious enough for all of us and the fire pit was great in the evening. Great location with easy access to the beach.

Easy rental and close to the beach

There are some needed updates, like the TVs in the bedrooms (which are still tube TVs) and the grill cooked kind of unevenly, but this property was a great getaway for my family. It was very close to the beach. Everything about this trip was easy.

Great house for a family get-together

Nice stay

It was a nice stay, a short walk to the lake. The check out rules need to lighten up some, and not threaten to charge more if somethings aren't done. I understand some things need to get done, but you pay a pricey cleaning fee.

Convenient location. Owner responded quickly to inquiries. Close to beach, park, water!

Really cute and clean! Well stocked kitchen. King size bedroom was large and could easily accommodate a baby crib if needed. Had its own dedicated tv. Loved the outdoor deck with grill that has gas hook up! Outdoor shower. Nice size baths and bedrooms. Downsides: Didn't like the big boulder rocks that outline the driveway on Lake shore drive. It is an eat-in-kitchen that can seat 8, but not any other space to eat other than out on deck. Could do a folded card table in living room.

Jennifer, so glad you liked it. Yes, the kitchen eating area could be bigger. There is a folding table in the front bedroom closet. I don't like the boulders either but then they were not there people parked in our drive way and go to the beach. We want to be sure that it is clearly marked as private for our renters. Hope you can come again soon. Jenna

Great place really close to the beach. Kitchen well stocked and a couple nice touches that were above and beyond. No knock on the host at all, remember the listing is 2 bathrooms. There is hot water at the outside shower...we would book again.

Great location

Wonderful sibling reunion! Grateful for a nice place to reminisce, rest, play, and build new memories. We dealt with a couple of difficulties, however. The TV instructions were minimal, and several intelligent members of our group struggled with its operation. The upstairs thermostat and/or air conditioner was not working correctly, as the temp remained very warm during our stay. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Michigan City very much. Thank you!

Great long weekend getaway

We had an awesome time at the cottage! We met some good friends and their children for a quick weekend getaway. Between the 2 families we had 6 children between the ages of 4 and 9. There was plenty of room and we appreciated the house being relatively kid friendly. There was a super cute zoo less than a 1/2 mile walk away and great beach access about 2 blocks away. It was a perfect location! The house had everything we needed and despite other reviews we found the check out requirements extremely reasonable. The one time we had to contact the property manager about a minor issue with the grill, she was super prompt and courteous in her response. Would definitely stay there again!

Nice property with a few small shortcomings

The property is great. Located 3 minutes from the beach. Amenities were great. Lots of extra items ready for use. Beach chairs, beach towels, toys, fire pit, grill. The biggest let down was that the outdoor shower was not hooked up. It would have been nice to rinse the sand off of my kids with warm water before going inside. The beach wagon had a busted tire and was not usable. Also, the check-out instructions were very specific and a bit uptight. Mandating that all beach towels are washed and folded, all bedding removed from the beds and placed near washing machine, mandating that two loads of laundry be started before leaving. I understand the intent of the requests, and the place is great; however, for the price paid I would like a little more lax policy on linens/towels or at least a better tone to the check-out instructions. 5 separate bedroom spaces, 10 beds all said and done. Perfect for large getaway. Would stay again.

Fun in the SUN!!!

Our group really enjoyed this house! Lots of bedrooms, could use another bathroom - but we made it work. The beach is very close and stunning! There was plenty of everything that we needed. Thanks for providing the beach chairs and wagon, that helped with the trek to and from the beach. We loved our time there!
