Great Lakes getaway

Overall, hard to beat: great sized bedrooms, clean unit, beach toys on site for the kids, powdery sand, clean water, and a walk as short as a beachfront high rise on the gulf. Our family is already planning for next summer👍

August beach getaway

We had fun family time at the beach. The outside seating area and grill were perfect for our family. Short walk to the beach with beach gear and towels supplied. I was able to get in a couple hours early which was a bonus.

Clean, short walk to the beach.

This property hosted my family of 6 plus my parents for a quick 3 night trip. Everything was as described and more. The building consists of 3 units, we stayed in #2 and it fit our needs perfectly. There is a gas stove and a 4-5 step access into this unit. We had a wonderful time with its close access to the beach and restaurants. We hope to be repeat customers.

Jill and Brad were fantastic. We really enjoyed our conversations with them. The home was clean, neat, and packed with beach toys neatly stored in the basement. The appliances are in good condition and newer. The neighborhood was quiet even at the height of the season.I would spruce up the entry and deck area. Meaning to touch up the deck stain. Eventually, install blacktop or pavers for the parking area in the front. The location has easy beach access. We would stay again! Thank you

Loved it!

The rooms were super clean when we checked in! We were also also able to get into the property a bit earlier than the check in time which was awesome! Also communication with Jill was awesome she would respond quick, and was making sure we were enjoying our time and if we needed anything. This is our 2nd year booking this property and it was amazing again. We love the close walk to the beach it was less than 5 mins to get there which was awesome!! We loved our vacation again!! There is also a washer and dryer which is wonderful since we had a lot of clothes and swim suits to wash since we stayed here for a week. The kitchen is also pretty stocked up if you need plates, glasses, pans, and anything else you might need. There’s also a patio table and chairs if you want to sit outside. We just love love this place!!

Perfect Beach Rental

Jill's place is WONDERFUL! Location can't be beat. She has everything you need for your stay, beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys for every child. You just need to bring your clothes and get ready to enjoy the most wonderful time in Michigan City. The kitchen is also supplied with all you need. Washer and dryer is so nice to wash everything up after being at the beach. The place is roomy, nobody on top of each other. Stay here and you will not be dissatisfied .❤️

Great house and best location

This home was amazing!! Communication with the owner was easy and fast response. Home was clean and had everything for the beach. The walk to the beach was so close and easily a accessible due to the blue walking path. Hands down best place to rent for a beach weekend. Looking forward to rent again!!

We loved it!

When we got to the apartment it was so clean and spacious, everything you needed was available if you didn’t bring it. We had the top unit and we could see the lake from there it also had a balcony with chairs to sit outside and enjoy the outdoors. It was also less than a 5 min walk to the beach which was wonderful. Jill was also so helpful when we had any questions. Will definitely book again!

Great Beach vacation!

My family loved our stay here-it is literally a 5 minute walk from the beach. There are so many beach toys, towels and chairs to choose from in the basement. The unit we stayed in (upstairs) is even bigger than the photos showed. My two small children, husband, myself and mother all lived comfortably. It is very kid friendly and has a gorgeous patio. Jill was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be staying again!

Nice place to stay

Everything was provided for, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, living room that we could watch the Olympics at night, and a hose to wash our feet when we return from the beach. What was scary it was I didn’t know that there was people living downstairs, using the shower and the washer dryer!!
