Nice House
Overall, this is a fine place to stay. It's a short walk to the beach, and the house has plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen would benefit from more silverware and a functioning can opener. Clear instructions on how to use the outdoor shower would have been helpful. We never did manage to crack the code for getting that to work during our stay. But, for what it is, a spacious place to crash after letting your kids wear themselves out at the beach, it's nice. We would definitely rent again.

Great place for a family to get together.
The kitchen was stocked with all kinds of kitchen items, dishes, pots and pans etc. Plenty of beds for everyone. Nice porch and back yard with fire pit. Two good bathrooms with plenty of towels. The beach was great and not too far away. We also saw two small deer roaming around on two days. Wish we had stayed longer.

Family Vacation
What a great place to stay! So clean and comfortable- and such a short walk to the beach! It was perfect for me and 3 young adult kids- husband and oldest child couldn’t make it. We had more room than we needed, but that’s not a complaint. My kids and I had fun with the foosball table, too. Great location, close to everything and we had all we needed to make food and enjoy the fire pit for s’mores on our last night. We hope to revisit in the future!

Great beach cottage
Our family loved this home! The proximity to Long Beach was great, an easy walk even with our three kids. Michigan City was a great town and we loved also being so close to the Indiana National and State Parks.

This place is wonderful for a family getaway. We all enjoyed the quiet, beautiful screened in porch. It comfortably accommodated eight people, and the owners were responsive and kind. Short walk to beautiful beach. Highly recommend.

Great stay close to a nice beach
Great stay close to the beach! It was a lovely unique space to stay in. Keep in mind there’s only two bedroom spaces that have doors that close. But it was perfect for our needs and our kids loved the loft sleeping area! We also loved the screened in porch and the various beach items and fire pit! Great spot and we hope to come back!

beyond expectations!
We booked this place to have friends come visit us in Michigan City and it went beyond our expectations. The purpose of the stay was mostly a place for our friends to sleep and the place was bigger than anticipated. The upstairs loft had plenty of space and the beds were all made for us which was really nice to be done. Communication with Ed was extremely prompt. We will be booking this place again!

Enjoyed the beach
We really enjoyed our stay. The best thing was the walking distance to beautiful beach. The only safety issue I noticed was the stairs from the loft down . It is not safe for younger kids and elders. Other than that we love the place and all the amenities and beautiful area. Thanks much.

A house close to the beach
The biggest advantage of this house is that it is only a short walking distance to the beach. If there are any rain days, there is a screen porch to enjoy the day. There was only two of us, but this house could hold many more. Lots of large table games in the basement for children to play. Negatives are the master bedroom has a double bed, not a queen, which we are use to. Also, the second bathroom in the basement is far from any bedrooms. However, if the goal is to visit the beach daily, this house is well positioned.

Great location and comfortable home.
Loved the backyard and screened in porch. Nice easy walk to the private beach on Lake Michigan which is beautiful. Kitchen is well-stocked and there are plenty of toys and games for kids of all ages inside or out. The loft is charming and the house is comfortable; only has one bedroom though. Lots of stairs. Owner is very helpful. Lovely neighborhood. Good shopping close by and restaurants.

Perfect Beach House Getaway
This beach house was absolutely perfect for our sisters-in-law retreat this past weekend. The house was inviting and cozy and amazingly well stocked. The screened-in porch was a wonderful addition and was wonderful to sit in at night to eat our dinner. The house is also only a short 5 minute walk from the beach and the owners provide camping chairs and a wagon to haul everything down to the water. The basement is full of fun activities for kids to enjoy. There are a good number of stairs, but it wasn't an issue for our group at all. The owners were extremely inviting (even left us a little welcome note!) and were incredibly responsive with the few questions we had when we were there. There were several of us staying there that are excited to come back with our own families to enjoy this house once more!
