Spring break stay

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The property was exactly as described—clean, well-stocked, and in a perfect location. The check-in process was smooth, and the host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our visit. We especially loved the little touches that made it feel like home. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Great time at the Lake Shore house. My family flew into Chicago and was going for the Texas A&M vs. Notre Dame game. This is a great location because it is right in the middle between Chicago and South Bend and only about 1 hour drive to each. The house has tons of beds and nice accommodations and amenities and the gorgeous Indiana Dunes West Beach is right across the street just like the picture shows. We took long walks and enjoyed the beach and dunes on one day and went to Notre Dame for the other day. Great trip. Recommend staying at this nice property.

Beach Please

Elena’s house worked perfectly for our group of 10. You can’t beat the proximity to the beach as the access to Miller Beach is across the street. The beach is exceptional…wide sandy beach, gradual water entry, clear water, not rocky. Perfection! Elena was easy to communicate with and was available if we had any questions. The house had several different areas for gathering and conversation and a nice outdoor space if the weather suited. We would definitely rent Elena’s house again.

Great Family Getaway

We had such a wonderful getaway with family in Miller Beach at Elena’s lovely property. It was even more beautiful than the pictures. The kitchen was very well equipped for meal prep. We really enjoyed the patio, grill, and outdoor table and chairs. The beds were so comfortable with great linens. The beach is close and an easy walk away. Elena provided so many beach toys and blow-ups as well as a wagon for toting to the beach. This experience was superior to most other rentals we have tried. We can definitely recommend it to others and hope to be back soon!

Came here with my sister and our families and parents. This is a nicely modern home with very nice decorations and kitchen appliances and plenty of quality pots and pans and spices. Felt like the host's home and not just a rental. While we were there, we put aside some decorative vases, so the kids could not accidentally break them. A partial view of the lake and close easy walk to the beach with the kids and some toys to enjoy too. Host was proactive about reaching out to talk through the check in process and so very helpful afterwards in helping ship some items we had accidentally left behind home. I would stay again.

Very Pretty Area

This is a very nice area with lots to do. Elena was very informative about the area and restaurants. The house was very clean and neat. Well stocked with all necessary accessories. Lake Michigan beach is less than a block away. Visited Marquette Park, St. John - The Shrine of Christ's Passion, Valparaiso University Chapel, Michigan City Lighthouse as well as surrounding wineries. The sunset at West Beach was outstanding.

Fabulous house, well appointed and decorated. The washer, dryer, kitchen appliances, pots, pans, dishes are top of the line. The bathrooms are marble and the linens and towels are luxurious. A huge picture window opens up the space with sunlight and you can see the lake just beyond. The neighborhood and beach are clearly cared for like the treasure they are. Elana, our host, had excellent communication and advice for activities. She is gracious and helpful. She has a beautiful rental home. Our family will certainly return, and the grandchildren are already asking when that will happen. We had a wonderful time.
