Wonderful Stay!

This adorable apartment was absolutely perfect for my husband and I on our trip to Michigan City! The decor makes you feel right at home, and it was so clean and bright! We generally left in the morning to explore and we returned at night, and it was so great to have a lovely, functional space to relax in! We would definitely choose this location again! Thank you so much for hosting us!

Sunshine House is a Ray of Shine

Clean, comfortable, convenient, everything you need. Stayed with my granddaughters for the weekend, they raved about how nice everything was. We loved the fire pit and picnic table in the back yard. Played games and watched movies on the provided Fire stick flat screen TV. The owners even provided a bottle of wine and microwave popcorn! Such a nice touch.

They place was clean and in a great location. The owners were quick with communication about anything that might come up. The only issue was with the listing.. We selected only pet friendly properties and this property came up. I didn't even think to double check so we brought out 2 small dogs. After our stay we were told about the no pet policy and were charged a fair 75 dollars for extra clean up. Not a big deal but we would not have stayed there if we had known. If you don't have pets the place is perfectly fine.

Completely Fine, But Odd

There is nothing seriously *wrong* with this place, but it is exceedingly odd. From the weird notes everywhere, to the sign telling you to wash dishes despite there not being any means provided to do this to the $12 couch to the lack of outlets in the bedroom in the year of our Lord 2024 (seriously, there are a lamp and sound machine in the bedroom which are kept unplugged because their wires can't reach an outlet either! Please get an extension cord so people don't have to literally sleep with the bed pulled away from the wall), this place is just a little odd? It's not bad! It's just fine. And despite what the weird sign on the fridge claims, fine gets a 4 star rating.

Location is 🔥

Great property just minutes from anything you could want to do in Michigan City. Super clean and modern space in the heart of town and steps from the shopping and dining and of course, the Lake. Great hosts and super friendly and very communicative. The process was easy and stay very comfortable. Would 100% recommend.
