We LOVED our stay here! It was clean, stocked, and close to the beach. There is no smart TV which they do make it clear to bring a firestick if needed. However, we loved the option of watching local cable and tons of dvds provided. It was a nice break from the real world. Our ONLY complaint is that the knives provided are SUPER DULL. couldn't cut through a tomato. Clearly an easy fix. We look forward to staying here again next summmer.

This was a nice, well kept house in a great location. The host provided very good communication. It was nice to have beach chairs provided. There are only window a/c units, which was a slight drawback, but they kept the house cool enough. Overall, it was a really good place to stay.

Nice little place and location

This was an ideal property for our family of five. Nothing fancy, so we felt comfortable and at home. We loved the private beach access! Michigan City is a fun place to visit. We hope to come again. Highly recommend!

Clean and spacious.

This is our second time here. We love the location. It's just a short walk to the beach (150 yards maybe?). It's clean and had all the amenities we needed. The owner is pleasant and helpful.

Beachy Getaway

The location of the property is ideal for beach-goers, only a short 7-10 min walk. The house was clean and in a fairly quiet location. The only downfall is the driveway is tricky to get in and out of due to the angle and steepness, but manageable with a smaller vehicle.

Wonderful retreat!

This cottage felt like staying in a family's place on the lake. We had such a great time walking the easy path down to the beach several times a day, then returning to the cottage high up on the bluff, surrounded by trees with a lake view from the screened porch(great for coffee time). The beds are comfortable, the place has character and John's suggestions for local restaurants in his welcome binder were excellent! A perfect place to get away from the city and enjoy Lake Michigan with welcoming hosts.

Great Location. Friendly Hosts

I will start by saying that the location is incredible! Just a short walk (and I mean short) to majestic beaches. Be prepared to walk stairs to get to the cottage. This isn't a negative, but it is a fact. The cottage is cozy and clean. The hosts let us have our own private vacation, but were also accessible if we needed anything and always had a smile. Our kids definitely want to come back!

One block from beach entrance

Check-in process was easy. The host was there to welcome us and he walked us through the house. The forecast was unusually cold for summer during a couple of days of our stay, so he turned on the fire in the heater for us. The property was 1 block from the beach entrance. It was very convenient. It was not even a hassle to go back and forth to the house if we forgot something. I appreciate that the host has provided beach chairs and beach umbrella. There were even some sand toys available. The parking spot was at an incline and can be challenging to back out of it onto the street since the street can be quite busy and it's hard to see upcoming traffic if you're backing out. It's easier if you go up to the driveway then back into the parking spot. This way, you can see the traffic (and pedestrians) when getting out. Bed was comfortable, plenty of pillows and blankets. Overall, we were happy with our stay. No complaints whatsoever.

This home was a gem in a great location. Washington Park was a nice easy 30 minute walk and Sheridan Beach access was a quick 5 minute walk straight across the street. Beautiful view of the lake from the screened in front porch. The hosts were great!

John and Pat are wonderful hosts and wonderful souls. 10 out of 5 stars! Met us and ensured we had everything we needed. This is a great spot for a getaway relaxing trip. Very close walk to beach. Stairs are well lit at night. New flooring looks fantastic. Porch is a lovely spot for reading and coffee in the morning with a lake view. Cozy living room- plenty of seating-the AC units really keep it cool even if it’s super hot! Lots walkable close by, the zoo, parks, boardwalk. Plenty to do when we come back in a fall season!

We had a perfect stay for a no-fuss family beach vacation!The house is very cute, comfortable, simple, and family-friendly. Everything was clean, functional, and homey. Temperatures were 50-75 while we visited, and the house stayed comfortable with minimal effort. It is very very close to the beach - we walked down the hill to the beach every day with two small kids, no problem.It’s also pretty close to amenities - just a few minutes’ drive or a 20-minute walk to a big grassy park and playground, the zoo, kayaking rentals, and a couple of restaurants.We had a couple of small questions during our stay, and John was prompt in replying.

Convenient Cozy Cottage

Great little property, perfect for myself, wife, and two kids. Convenient location, short walk to the Beach and still within walking distance to Washington Park area. Attached sunroom was perfect for dropping hiking gear, beach gear, and shoes before going into the house. Stairs up to the property were a little cumbersome for vehicle unloading/loading, but otherwise not a problem. Would come back!

It was OK.

First understand this is a cottage...not a house. It IS clean and well kept and efficient. It sits at the top of a steep bluff. It has a nice front porch with screened windows, which offer those nice views of lake. With the windows open there is a lovely breeze that comes in. The wooden plank stairs that lead up are considerable....not impossible, but they definitely get your attention. Notably, there is only one (1) steep parking spot. The parking spot is gravel and so steep that it is imparetive to use the parking brake. So, this isn't a fancy hotel, and if you have vertigo you will want to keep looking. However, with all this said, it IS truthful about being a 10 minute walk to Lake Michigan. Down the steps, down the street and down the sandy path to the beautiful sandy shore line. As the section of beach area is not public access, the beach is never crowded and is as lovely as can be. The brisk walk back up to the cabin is nominal, and there is a convenient downstairs shower to wash off any lingering sand. Proximity to any restaurants, bars and retail is only 5-10 minutes drive. If you are interested in proximity to the beach this is a good choice.

Perfect for our small family getaway!

The cottage is exactly as advertised on VRBO. It is a simple accommodation about a block from the beach, with a cabin feel. It’s clean and cozy, with a well-stocked kitchen. It is on a wooded lot, complete with an occasional deer, beautiful natural ferns and a peaceful vibe. We loved it!

Great quaint cottage

Small cottage very close to the beach, and enjoyed by our family. I enjoyed coffee on the covered porch in the morning with lake views. Simple kitchen, bath, and bedrooms, older but still nice and functional. WiFi was fast and reliable, cell signal was very limited. Overall we would stay here again for sure, great value and location.
