This is my second time renting this property. Great setup with close proximity to beach, coffee shop and restaurants. It’s a relaxing getaway just a short drive from Chicago. Will definitely be back and communication with owners was beyond expectation!

This house was perfect for our family of eight. Everything was super clean and well designed. We spent most of our time on the screened porch- we loved that we could seat everyone at the table and also watch tv on the sectional in the morning. The fire pit and bocce court out front were an added bonus. It was about a two block walk to the beautiful beach. We will definitely be back!

This is a great house. It had everything we needed for a wonderful beach vacation. Beds and furniture are comfortable and in great condition. Kitchen was well stocked but not over crowded like some rentals. The large screened in porch was perfect for large family dinners. We enjoyed the bocci ball court most evenings. Gas fire place is real plus. We’ll be back.

Fabulous house near the lake

Gorgeous home, very new and clean with great layout and amenities. Space for everyone and really well appointed. The common spaces, both inside and out, are great for gatherings. The bedrooms are spacious, quiet and really comfortable. Kitchen and bathrooms are high end. Private beach is a couple of blocks away. Owners are great communicators and very nice people.

Great location!

We really enjoyed our recent stay. The house was very clean, and in a great location. Close to so many Harbor County attractions. Can’t beat the short walk to the beach either. We’ll definitely visit again soon.

Very happy with our stay

Excellent amenities and space for the entire extended family. Lots of gathering spaces and a short walk to a very private beach space. This was a highlight with the beach area itself being free of rocks and lots of sandbar space. Highly recommend this rental for family gatherings.

Perfect family vacation home

This is a lovely property for family vacations. We had our two daughters and their families. 6 adults and 6 children. The house has everything we needed. It is clean and well organized with beach chairs, toys and a great Lily Pad!! The kids loved the bunk room!! The neighborhood is very quiet, a short walk to the stairs down to the beach. Lots of stairs but not a problem! We loved our vacation home and will be back!!

Great location & house!

We had a great time! The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach. The house is well laid out & we (incl. kids 4-13) enjoyed the screen porch & bocce ball court. It is well appointed with a lot of little extra conveniences - containers for food leftovers, shampoo, laundry detergent, beach towels, games for rainy days. Even a splash pad! We hope to make this an annual tradition!
