Fabulous Beach House!
If you are looking for the quintessential beach house vacation, look no further! The house is adorable and the views are spectacular—even better than the pictures! The walk to the beach is easy—and the beach is beautiful. We took many long walks on the beach and the weather was warm enough (apparently hot for mid-May) to swim. Despite the unusually warm weather, we did not need the air conditioning because the breezes in the house were delightful. We are already planning a return visit in the fall.

Comfy and cozy for Thanksgiving getaway
The view is so calming - I really enjoyed looking out at the lake. And only takes a few minutes to walk to it. We made use of the full-sized kitchen and the large dining table. Beds were comfy. It was nice for the kids to each have their own room. It was chilly out but the home had plenty of heat. Great location. Consider adding one soft chair to the living room. The couch is great though. Will return.

Fantastic home and location!
The location is incredible with amazing views. We spent most of the time in the wonderful sunroom with huge view of the lake. The house is lovely with really thoughtful touches for anyone's needs. My husband and I with our 2 dogs had a great time. Easy access to the beach and quiet residential neighborhood. Perfect!

Absolutely Fabulous
My 3 grown children and I stayed here for one week. We absolutely loved it the entire time. The views were spectacular and the lake breeze coming in fabulous. We enjoyed our daily walks to the beach. The only thing I wish was different about our vacation here was - I wish I could have rented it for two straight weeks. I highly recommend staying here!!

Second Time and Will be Back!
The views even on rainy days is amazing. We stay because it is a clean and quiet place to relax. Nothing better than napping on the front porch. The amenities are really good and everything is clean and well cared for. It would be a great beach house for a group or family and I could see staying with a few friends. It’s also a great value!!

Great beach house
We had a lovely family vacation in the dune beach house in Michigan City. It had an absolutely great view of the lake/sunsets. We comfortably slept six teens/adults. The AC was great, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was easy to use and clean up, the outdoor shower was handy, the outdoor seating and fire ring were great. And Michigan City is a charming little town (very quiet!). The beach is absolutely great (and this is coming from an East Coast native). I would definitely return to both the house and Michigan City.
