Great location, cute house, good communication

We had a wonderful time and this location was perfect for us. The communication with the property manager was great and we loved that the beach was right there.

Easy rental and close to the beach

There are some needed updates, like the TVs in the bedrooms (which are still tube TVs) and the grill cooked kind of unevenly, but this property was a great getaway for my family. It was very close to the beach. Everything about this trip was easy.

Great house for a family get-together

We comfortably had 10 people staying here for a family gathering. Beds/rooms were comfortable. Everything was clean. It's close to the beach. It worked out very well. I would rent again. Thanks!

Nice stay

It was a nice stay, a short walk to the lake. The check out rules need to lighten up some, and not threaten to charge more if somethings aren't done. I understand some things need to get done, but you pay a pricey cleaning fee.

Great location

Wonderful sibling reunion! Grateful for a nice place to reminisce, rest, play, and build new memories. We dealt with a couple of difficulties, however. The TV instructions were minimal, and several intelligent members of our group struggled with its operation. The upstairs thermostat and/or air conditioner was not working correctly, as the temp remained very warm during our stay. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Michigan City very much. Thank you!

Great long weekend getaway

We had an awesome time at the cottage! We met some good friends and their children for a quick weekend getaway. Between the 2 families we had 6 children between the ages of 4 and 9. There was plenty of room and we appreciated the house being relatively kid friendly. There was a super cute zoo less than a 1/2 mile walk away and great beach access about 2 blocks away. It was a perfect location! The house had everything we needed and despite other reviews we found the check out requirements extremely reasonable. The one time we had to contact the property manager about a minor issue with the grill, she was super prompt and courteous in her response. Would definitely stay there again!

Nice property with a few small shortcomings

The property is great. Located 3 minutes from the beach. Amenities were great. Lots of extra items ready for use. Beach chairs, beach towels, toys, fire pit, grill. The biggest let down was that the outdoor shower was not hooked up. It would have been nice to rinse the sand off of my kids with warm water before going inside. The beach wagon had a busted tire and was not usable. Also, the check-out instructions were very specific and a bit uptight. Mandating that all beach towels are washed and folded, all bedding removed from the beds and placed near washing machine, mandating that two loads of laundry be started before leaving. I understand the intent of the requests, and the place is great; however, for the price paid I would like a little more lax policy on linens/towels or at least a better tone to the check-out instructions. 5 separate bedroom spaces, 10 beds all said and done. Perfect for large getaway. Would stay again.

Fun in the SUN!!!

Our group really enjoyed this house! Lots of bedrooms, could use another bathroom - but we made it work. The beach is very close and stunning! There was plenty of everything that we needed. Thanks for providing the beach chairs and wagon, that helped with the trek to and from the beach. We loved our time there!

Nice place to stay at the beach!

The home is clean with a well stocked kitchen. Furniture is dated, but not uncomfortable. We had an issue with getting the gas fireplace started consistently. Would have appreciated knowing in advance to bring TP and hand soap. But otherwise this is a great place for a family getaway! Be sure to check out the outlet mall!

This property was great for the Christmas gathering of our family and grandchildren

We had plenty of sleeping space with 5 bedrooms. The downstairs bedroom became the main play room for the kids. Only suggestion would be that cleaning staff provide extra trash bags for kitchen and additional toilet paper. The boxes of tissue were appreciated since this is the season of cold!

Loved the house

We stayed at the house for our daughters wedding. We loved it. It has beds for like 14 or something, it’s crazy. We only used like 5, people ended up crashing at other houses after parties. So we had so much more room for activities. We would stay there again. It was super clean. Highly recommend.

It was a neighbors weekend with 6 ladies. We loved the location and all the space in the home.

It was a great location. Our contact Cari was very accommodating. It worked for the six of us. We plan to book here again for the next year.

Great stay for expanding families

We stayed at the cottage for our family vacation and really enjoyed the space. The previous 3 years we had stayed at hotels and found that it was hard to spend time together in the evening. We had 8 adults and a two year old. Every couple had their own room which was good for privacy. We went to Four Winds Casino which is a really cool place and if you like to gamble a little it is fun. Their is a local beach within a block that we walked to everyday. The house has an outdoor shower that was great for getting the sand off before going inside. There is a small zoo & a splash pad close by that was great for younger kids. There is a Meijer within 5-7 miles which had everything we needed. We cooked all our meals at the house so I have no recommendations for places to eat. With that being said, the grill looks like it could use some maintenance or even be replaced. Only half of the burners were working well and it made it a little difficult to cook all our meat at one time. But we made due. The Lighthouse outlets near by were a great activity for a rainy day and we found some pretty good deals. The only other thing I wasn’t aware of was the arrangements for picking up and dropping off the key. It did not make a difference for us since we were leaving earlier in the day but the keys are picked up at a real estate office and it is recommended to pick up by 5 pm central time. The time change helped us since we were traveling from Michigan to Indiana and we gained an hour. The “list of things that need to be done before you leave” letter that you receive with the key comes across much more demanding than what it really requires. Just have to do a couple loads of laundry and straighten up. Overall this is a place we would stay again. Reasonably priced and very functional for a larger group.
