Great accommodations and close to attractions, restaurants and breweries. We were there to spend time at the Dunes National Park and had a great time.

Thank you for the great review! We're so glad Sand & Sun Retreat was a perfect home base for your Indiana Dunes adventure — with the restaurants, breweries and attractions all nearby it really is hard to beat the location. Hope to welcome you back for another visit soon! — Eddi & the Sauve Stays Team
Book with confidence!This property had many conveniences throughout and was very clean. The host had great communication. Also, it's centrally located with no more than 10min to most sites worth visiting or 20-30min tops for attractions like the Dunes National Park or places in Valparaiso.

Thank you so much — "book with confidence" means the world to hear! I'm so glad the home's conveniences, cleanliness, and central location made your stay easy, with everything from the Dunes to Valparaiso just a short drive away. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you're welcome back anytime!
This was a great property for our volleyball team! Would love the addition of in refrigerator water dispenser. Otherwise, it was perfect for what we needed.

Thank you so much! We love hearing that Sand & Sun Retreat was a perfect fit for your volleyball team — that's exactly the kind of group we love hosting! We've noted the water dispenser suggestion and will keep it in mind as we continue to improve the property. Hope to host the team again next season! — Eddi & the Sauve Stays Team
We had a great weekend stay! Without a doubt, host communication was the absolute highlight of our trip. When booking a vacation rental, clear communication is everything, especially during the booking process, the 24–48 hours before arrival, and whenever quick questions pop up during your stay. This host completely delivered and then some, responding to every message within minutes!While the house itself was fairly simple, it served our needs just fine as a home base for the weekend. The location is super convenient. You are only a 7–10 minute drive to the beach, 20 minutes from Indiana Dunes National Park, and 20 minutes to New Buffalo. Plus, the local town itself has plenty to offer.If you value responsive, reliable hosts who ensure a seamless and stress-free check-in experience, you can book here with complete confidence!

We're glad Sand & Sun Retreat worked perfectly as your home base for the weekend and that the location made it easy to explore the beach, Indiana Dunes and New Buffalo. There really is so much to love about this corner of Indiana!
We'd love to have you back anytime — stress-free check-in guaranteed! 😄 — Eddi & the Sauve Stays Team
Overall stay was pleasant. Property close to Michigan City beach, very nice. Due to recent storms beach had no power so restrooms were closed. Porta Johns were available. There were some maintenance issues that need to be addressed at property. There were plenty of beds. The kitchen was open and stocked well. We chose to bring our own board games. Owner responded to concerns in a timely manner.

Thanks Brandon for the 5 star review. Your family was responsible and kept the place clean. Would love to have you guys back again.
The property was exactly what we were shown online. We loved the closeness to the various beaches and the great restaurant recommendations. Our family had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the different spaces the property had to offer. Also, having the ability to use the washer and dryer was a complete game changer and made our stay even better. Grateful for the space to enjoy our family vacation.

That sounds like a fantastic family getaway! I'm so glad you enjoyed the location, the house, and the little extras. Thank you for the recommendation—I'd love to host you again in the future! 😊🎄
Home was very clean with plenty of beds for guests. Has everything you could possibly need, including stocks of coffee, oatmeal, spices... Great yard with a fire pit and chairs, outdoor table for dining.
Excellent area if you're looking to go shopping, or a day trip to Michigan's many activities. We greatly enjoyed our stay.
