Close to everything
Cute little home! Perfect for our family. So close to everything. The walk to the beach was perfect!!
This was our first experience in Michigan City and near Lake Michigan. This adorable yellow house was perfect for our family, especially due to the game room/garage where we spent much of our time when at the home. If returning there we would try to rent this wonderful property again.
