About this property

Beachwalk 6 Bed/4.5 Bath FAMILY Getaway - 3rd house from Lake Shore

Shore Thing is located near the beautiful sandy beaches of Lake Michigan, in a prime Beachwalk location (3rd house from Lake Shore Drive!). The house is located in the acclaimed Beachwalk community.

Shore Thing has six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, plus sofa bed in the finished basement. We have plenty of space for your family get-together, with plenty of bedrooms and plenty of gathering and entertaining space inside and outside! Plus, the perfect location close to Lake Michigan and the Beachwalk pool. Shore Thing is one of only a handful of wheelchair accessible homes in Beachwalk, so everyone in the family can be included in the fun!

The first floor has an open plan with the kitchen and living room, with plenty of space for the entire family to gather. Eat in kitchen, 4 seats at the kitchen island, 10 seats at the reclaimed wood kitchen table. The living room has a fireplace and Smart TV with YouTube HDTV. The finished basement features another separate large living area, with ping pong table, wet bar, full bath, board games, HDTV, and Nintendo Wii gaming system. The basement sectional also has a pull out couch.

There are also plenty of outdoor spaces for the family to enjoy! The front lower porch is screened in and has a picnic table for six with additional seating. We have a brand new large Weber natural gas grill. The upper porch has seating and views of Beachwalk Lane, and the 3rd floor porch has views of the dunes and across Beachwalk.

Shore Thing is child friendly with booster seat, pack n' play, and ample games and toys. We also have beach chairs, coolers, and wagons.

There are 6 bedrooms across 3 floors, 2 on the first floor, 3 on the second floor, and 1 on the third floor, plus a sofa bed in the basement.

The master suite has a king bed, plus the private master bath with a large newly renovated bathroom and access to the 2nd floor deck. The second floor also features a queen bedroom, with access to a private back deck, and to the "Jack N Jill" bedroom. And the 3rd bedroom on the second floor is set up for the kids with a twin-over-full that also adjoins the Jack-N-Jill. All three second floor bedrooms have flat-screen smart TVs.

On the 3rd floor there is a daybed with trundle, the perfect escape for the tweens, older cousins or the aunts or uncles who need some space. The 3rd floor also has a desk for the family member who needs to check in at the office during the vacation (hey, it happens!), Smart TV, and access to the 3rd floor deck with gorgeous views! Conference calls or maybe some yoga al fresco, anyone?

The first floor has two bedrooms. The wheelchair-friendly bedroom has a queen bed and full bath with accessible sink and shower. And a kid-friendly bedroom with twin over full bunk beds.

FALL WEEKEND SPECIAL: Get early Friday check-in and late Sunday check-out so your family / group can enjoy the full weekend together! Also includes our area guide/recommendations which includes indoor and outdoor activities and restaurant recommendations.

We have three total properties in Beachwalk with plenty of space for your entire extended family, contact us for more details! Belle Isle across the street sleeps 8-10 in 3 bedrooms (Listing 2091403) and is well-stocked with gear for your beach vacation.
Captain Jack's Loft sleeps 4 with a queen bed and sofa bed, plus bath and full kitchen (Listing 1533858). Contact us if you need space for a bigger group, we have discounts for groups booking multiple properties!

The Beachwalk community features various amenities unique to our community. Highlights are the pool and kiddie pool, basketball court, tennis courts, playground, cafe, and man made Lake Kai that is ideal for family fishing, kayaking, or paddle boarding.

While Lake Michigan steps away is the major highlight, there is so much more to experience in the surrounding area! Shore Thing is located less than one and a half miles from Washington Park, the Michigan City Zoo, The Blue Chip Casino, and Lighthouse Place Outlet Mall. Just down the road is Mt. Baldy (a fun, easy family hike!) and the Indiana Dunes National Park. Slightly further are many more beaches in southwest Michigan, and many breweries and wineries! Great restaurants and shopping can be found in Downtown Michigan City and every town in Southwest Michigan.

Long term off season rental also available, contact us for discounted long term rental rates!

We are excited to share our home with you and your family. Upon booking a reservation with us you will receive a copy of our rental agreement for review and signature. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have as you are planning your vacation or after booking with us.

Great location and house for family fun
We loved the house in Michigan City. It was a cool weather weekend but the walk to the beach was very easy. It rained one day but the house is equipped with a family friendly basement! Jason was very quick to respond to any question we had. Great host!

Terrific family getaway property
My family and I spent the weekend here celebrating my mom's 75th b-day. With ages ranging from 2-75 years, I had to make sure the property would be comfortable enough for all and spacious for the teens and kids to run around/hang out. The home was well-stocked with kitchen essentials, rooms were comfortable and the property allowed everyone to have fun for the weekend. Would highly recommend.

Exactly what we were looking for
We spent a week here with our three adult children, their spouses and our 4 grandchildren ages 5 and under. It was noisy, hectic and there were lots of tears and laughs. There was good space for everyone and we all enjoyed the beach, the pool and other nearby attractions. The house was clean, well stocked and just as advertised. We cooked all our meals at the house and the kitchen was easy to navigate. Would absolutely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Maslan

Host profile image
We are a family from Chicagoland who found Beachwalk when looking for a place to get-away and enjoy nature. We love that it's just a short drive but in the summer months it feels like a tropical paradise! There is so much for everyone in the family to enjoy, from time on the beach, swimming, nature hikes, fishing, tennis, basketball, and nearby wineries, breweries, shopping, casinos, and more!

Why they chose this property

We love the location of this home, the third house from Lakeshore Drive. It is so close to walk to the beach and to the pool, and you don't have to worry about a golf cart! This house has so much space for the family to gather but also have privacy in 6 separate bedrooms.

What makes this property unique

Location, indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, ping pong table.
