Great house

This was a fantastic area to stay which is centrally located. We took the train into Chicago (station only 5 mins away.) We liked being within walking distance of the beach. This is also a very quiet area. We liked the vintage vibe too.

Home owner was very quick at answering questions about the area! Short walk to a beautiful beach! Great, friendly, safe neighborhood. Lots of space in the house and activities for the time we were in the house. Sand dunes are incredible and the sand is more fine than most popular beaches! Took an Uber to Chicago for a couple of ball games but there is a close train if we wanted to take that. Definitely recommend

We had a group of 12 and this was a wonderful vacation home. It had a lot of character and while it was dated, it was charming and clearly loved and well taken care of. There were many small touches that were great (beach carts available, some basics in kitchen/bathroom) and the kids LOVED the ping pong table/game room downstairs. The location was perfect for us - we enjoyed walking to the beach and it was a very short drive to the National Park section we wanted to visit as well as the Indiana Dunes State Park. We would stay here again.

Wonderful Multi-Family Vacation Spot

This house was a great place for our three families to convene and explore Indiana Dunes National Park. Everything we could have wanted was available in the VRBO. We cooked our dinners in the kitchen and brought no supplies other than food with us. While 12 of us stayed in the house, it never felt crowded and our kids were entertained by the ping pong table and other nice surprises. We had a wonderful time exploring the area and wouldn't hesitate to book again.

the stay was great and space was great. It was difficult getting there with snow but otherwise it was like a winter wonderland. The app did not notify her when we confirmed so did not get details for the place until day before so make sure to directly contact owner to get details if vrbo app does not forward them to you.

Great place!

We needed a place close to the lake, and within a reasonable distance from Chicago, this fit the bill perfectly! The house was as described, and has a fun retro theme. We really enjoyed the ping pong table, such a fun addition! We only had 4 of us on this stay, but this house would be excellent for a larger family too! One bedroom had a comfy memory foam mattress, the others upstairs were VERY thin and stiff and need some memory foam toppers or something to make them tolerable. Other than that, the place had everything we were looking for and we would stay here again.

Great Sand Dunes VRBO

Our family spent Labor Day weekend at Indiana Dunes in Gary Indiana. The house was a great find! It was the perfect size to sleep our family of 10. The house was safe for the kids which ranged 3-7. The walk from the house to the beach was not far at all. The buggy’s provided in the house made it easy to transport everything we needed for the day. We highly recommend Tiny’s in Gary. Short drive from the house. Excellent food, drinks, and coffee. If we ever go back to Gary we would definitely stay here again.

Great place to meet family for thanksgiving

We had 3 generations of family ages 11+, a total of 10 people, at the home for Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful stay for us and we all loved it. The dining room table even had enough seating for all 10 of us to dine together! The home is very clean and in excellent condition. The teens in our group loved the ping pong and chess board. We enjoyed walking to the beach daily and hiking along the shore. The neighbors were all extremely friendly and we met a lot of dogs out for walks. Our only complaint would be that the lighting provided was too dim in the long winter evenings to work on the craft projects we had brought along.
