Fantastic Winter Stay!
We loved our stay. The property was clean, comfortable and the hosts clearly spent a huge amount of time and energy thinking of everything to make it a smooth stay. They had so many thoughtful touches from eye masks to extra blankets. Communication with the hosts was also a breeze. I am certain we will be repeat guests!

Beautiful Rental
This rental is a modern piece of heaven. Everything you would need the owner's thought of. Location is so close to the beach and plenty of parks. The amenities outside are as nice as the inside. Definitely would stay here again.

One of the best ever!
This home was ever thing as advertised and more. The hosts thought of ever tiny detail to make our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. Several outdoor games provided that we really enjoyed. It was one of our favorite VRBO rentals ever. We definitely hope to return someday. The very short walk to the beach and all the beach accessories they provide were also a fantastic touch. It was obvious they put a lot of thought and care into providing a fabulous experience for their guests.

Perfect beach getaway and gathering place
Great location and property-perfect for a beach getaway and gathering place! Jim and Angie are fantastic hosts and have thought of everything. Perfect decor with so many personal touches. The beach is just steps away, and Lake Michigan was pristine. Rent Holliday House and you will be so happy you did!

A truly amazingly beautiful house
WOW! This was a truly amazing weekend at the HOLLIDAY HOUSE in Miller Beach. We want to thank you for sharing your beautiful home. While we were anticipating a beautiful “rental property”, Holliday House is so much more than beautiful. From its location, an hour from Chicago, to just a hop from one of Lake Michigan’s sandy beaches, its modern style with large windows that lets the right amount of sunlight in, its comfortable furniture and Zen décor, to the many smallest of touches, the Holliday House is truly a treasure! We loved the quiet and peacefulness of the beach and neighborhood, the trails in the nearby dunes of Northwest Indiana, the local farmers markets, and the friendly people we met. This weekend was so wonderful and relaxing! Thank you.
