Good time at the Beach House

We are a family of 7 (including grandma and grandpa) from the Indy area. We think of Allegra as a very good choice as a beach house. There is plenty of space and beds, although we did not use the basement rooms much for lack of good ventilation (AC/openable windows). Having 3 bathrooms was very convenient and also plenty of bath towels (no beach towels are provided though). At the entrance, a very sensitive smoke detector (close to the chimney) activated every time I tried to fry something.Perfect location, easy access to the large beach. The provided kids' wagon and the beach chairs were a nice plus. The kitchen was well furnished, but a pantry/storage space would have been appreciated. We spotted deer in the backyard almost every day.Communication via app was a bit slow, but the manager stopped by to replace the garbage bin, tablecloth, and deck chairs.Overall we were very satisfied with our stay.

Location, location, location

This house was close to perfect for us - three families with kids sharing a getaway. We walked to the beach, to the zoo, and to the lighthouse. A short drive to the dunes and outlet mall. Great living and dining space. The big table doubled for evening games. The kitchen worked well - we fixed all our meals at the house. Great to have a dishwasher. The first and second floor sleeping spaces are wonderful. The basement ... is still a basement, and the bedrooms down there are certainly functional, but not as inviting as the others. Very helpful to have three bathrooms! We were very satisfied!

Great space that easily accommodated our family of 16. Nice backyard deck in quiet wooded setting. Our kids loved exploring the woods behind the house. Nicely decorated space and well equipped kitchen. Walk to beach was manageable with small kids and wagons. Great memories created!

Walk to the beach on Lake Michigan

Home was clean and had everything you need for your stay. Well stocked kitchen, gas grill. Private back deck. Walk to the beach on Lake Michigan and had beach chairs that can be used. The only downfall is there really is no yard for the kids to play in. We spent a lot of time at the beach and had a wonderful family vacation.

Sweet & short weekend stay

Our families second visit to the area and we brought friends along with us this time! Perfect location for us- short trip to the amazing zoo, walked on the pier and the kids loved the beach (even though it was kinda cold& windy), and had an amazing lunch at Dunebillies. The back deck was great and we saw deer on the hill behind us every morning and evening.

Great location

The property was easy to find. It was in close proximity to the beach, the zoo, a large park, and other places of interests. We had a good size group and there was ample space for everyone. Parking was limited but the neighborhood was quiet, and the people around the area were very accommodating it solved our parking issue. Todd was really quick to respond to our inquiries and request.

Would stay again

This was a wonderful family vacation place. My daughter and her husband, my son and his wife, myself (grandma) and my 10 grandchildren had a great time, with plenty of room to sleep. Some of the beds weren’t the best. The queen bed in the loft was like sleeping on the floor according to the couple that slept on it. We took the foam topper off a bed in the basement and put it on the bed in the loft, which helped. The 2 metal bunk beds squeaked so the mattresses were put on the floor. The dryer squealed loudly, so we just made sure to run it only during the day and kept the door shut. The tub and shower in the loft area had some mold on the caulking around the tub and on the shower curtain, which was torn. We loved sitting on the deck, especially in the evening. The house next door had occupants on a couple of the days that we were there, which was no problem until they started smoking marijuana, which drove us indoors. In spite of these things, which I am positive that they will fix now that know about them, our stay was great and we would return.

Family Vacation

The house worked perfectly for our 4 families. The kitchen was exceedingly well supplied. The proximity to the beach was great. We loved the deck and backyard especially the treehouse! The yard could use a little work there is a large limb hanging from a tree that should come down and the deck flowers and beach chairs had been neglected but we cleaned it up and enjoyed all of it. We’ve been staying in the area for 3 years now and we all felt this house served us the best. Thank you Todd!!
