Perfect family spot!

Our cousin vacation couldn't be better! Royal Retreat is a super house for multiple families with a great layout of bedrooms and bathrooms and plenty of space in the basement for the kids to bunk up. Terrific common area where we could all cook and eat together, play games, and hang out. Loved the screened porch -- hot tub and grill were great and the golf cart and wagon make it easy to get to the beach. We'll be back!

THE BEST!

My family of 12 have been renting vacation homes for over 20 years, and this one is hands down the best we’ve ever stayed in. Everything about the home was perfect, beautifully maintained, thoughtfully stocked, and so comfortable for our whole group. You can really tell the owners put a lot of care into every detail. The location within Beachwalk Resort was ideal, with easy access to the beach, pool, and all the fun amenities. We made so many great memories and truly didn’t want to leave. Already looking forward to coming back next year, thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Better than expected!

We were a family group, ages 1-91 and everyone was comfy and had a great time! We found it to be Exceptionally clean, fresh and well-appointed. The house is bright and cheery and the owner responded quickly to all our questions. We are already thinking about booking again. We really liked the plentiful beach towels but we do recommend bringing your own beach chairs.

Great stay in Michigan City!

Stunning property that is walking distance to the lake! Perfect for hosting my family and friends for graduation weekend at Notre Dame (very simple/easy drive to campus). We really enjoyed the amenities and the check out process was very easy. The host was also very kind and responsive! Would definitely recommend this property for anyone in the Michiana area!

Enjoying the Royal Retreat

The 2024 Women’s Retreat was held at the VRBO Royal Retreat. This property has been a popular choice for our retreat for multiple years (starting before Covid). Its location is central for the members attending from Illinois and Michigan, and it is close to Lake Michigan for amazing scenery. The property is suitable for holding our 3-day retreat, and the accommodations lend nicely to a comfortable stay. We conduct sessions and hold discussions during the day. The open space design of the living/dining room meets our need for conducting our sessions. The kitchen is spacious and well-stocked with appliances, cookware, utensils, and dinnerware. The sleeping accommodations and linens are adequate for our needs as well. It is a plus to have a washer and dryer, and a bonus to have a lovely enclosed porch, nice deck, hot tub, and a golf cart for local transport. As a repeat renter, I recommend the Royal Retreat as a choice location and rental.

Family Memories Made Here

Our stay at Royal Retreat was amazing. The house was beautifully decorated - spacious for 8 adults and 6 younger kids and well-stocked with all we needed. Having a golf cart was great for getting around to the pool, the beach and other activities. We also brought two bicycles which helped in addition to the golf cart. The whole area is walkable but it was nice to have. Patricia was a great communicator. Whole area was family friendly. We really enjoyed ourselves.
