Good location for a relaxing weekend
Place is a 1 minute walk to Lake Michigan and the beach is great. The house has a really nice finished basement that wasn’t shown in the pictures that we really enjoyed. The only downfall was that the place was not very clean (dirty floors) and lots of bugs throughout the home (bees, spiders, ants).

Wonderful beach location!
We spent a wonderful long weekend in this charming cottage, had perfect weather for our multiple outings to the beach, which is steps away as advertised! The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed, and the neighborhood is outstanding! We will definitely be back!

Girls weekend getaway!
We enjoyed our stay at this house! There was plenty of beds and the weather was perfect for us to have a bonfire! The wood provided was a little green but burnt well after we got the coals nice and hot. The beach was a quick walk away and a great place to relax and catch some sun. There was plenty of great beach stuff at the house but the umbrella was older and looked broken so we didn't take it. I would rent this house again! If your looking for a place that has a lot of places to eat or things to do, this isn't your area. It was fantastic for laughs and relaxation for a group of friend whom go away once a year to forget the real world for a few days.

AMAZING!
We loved the location and the environment! The secluded, wooded yard out back was so inviting, quiet, and serene. We heard birds, saw wildlife, and listened to the waves. When we were ready to go to the beach, we simply walked over to the water! We loved how close we were. It made it so easy to hop back to the house for lunch and dinner, spending the rest of our time at the beach. We felt safe the entire time, there was plenty for the kids to do, and the adults got to relax.

property was very nice and as described, Quiet neighborhood and close walk to the beach. Beach was very nice. Did not expect boats to park so close to the beach- too many boats. House and location great.

Great Stay / No Issues / As Advertised
Great overall stay - the house was very clean - great inclusion of linens - comfortable beds - good inclusion of things in the Kitchen, etc. Though located in Gary, IN it felt to be in a safe area and the beach really is just a short distance away. Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to the area.

Family Getaway
This was the perfect spot for a quick family getaway! The house is a minute walk from the beach and we practically had the beach to ourselves our whole trip! The house was nice, clean, and had everything you could possibly need- towels, bedding, extra pillows and blankets, beach toys, chairs, kitchen supplies, coffee, etc. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it to others!
