"Lots of love and history has been put into this charming rental cottage named Serendipity, as it is one of the original Sheridan Beach homes built back in 1942, that has been renovated and upgraded with top notch materials and an upstairs loft added on to create more space and a slight view of Lake Michigan!! All the thoughtful touches inside and out, plus the warmth and the cleanliness are what make for a comfortable place for all guests to relax and de-stress! Start out the day soaking in the morning sun's energy in the front porch chairs with a cup of coffee, made fresh from the house coffee bar, or retreat to the back porch (off the master bedroom), to take in some calming meditation or yoga while listening to the distant sounds of the waves from Lake Michigan nearby. Lots of comfy, quiet places to get lost in your favorite book or find one from the vast collection that fills the shelves in the living room and 2 bedrooms. Curl up on the couch, in the master bedroom or upstairs in the cozy loft to enjoy movies or streaming from your Netflix or Amazon accounts on the 3 mounted TVs! Need to catch up on a little work while the kids watch a movie? There's a dedicated work space/desk up in the loft for your use. Okay, now that you've caught up on work and relaxing, it's time to venture out! Ready for a scenic bike ride around the cute neighborhood (beach cruiser bikes provided!)-OR a peaceful, nature walk down to the serene lakefront to collect pretty beach stones, and lots of cool driftwood- OR if weather is warm, pack a picnic lunch, cooler on wheels (1 provided!),grab the house beach wagon, fill it with beach towels, chairs and sand toys-(all provided!), to take a short stroll down to spend a lazy day at the best beach stops in Michigan City! Come back just in time (but not too soon!) to wash off the sand and prepare your evening meal in the fully- stocked kitchen,- OR if short on time from your lazy day at the beach, throw some hot dogs or burgers on the convenient gas grill, while the kids play games in the fully-fenced in backyard. Top off the day relaxing again, with your favorite beverages, maybe singing and laughing around the backyard fire pit, while the kids make smores for dessert! Very friendly neighborhood with a mix of long term resident locals and short term visitors. Super-convenient, central location with 5-10 minute walk or drive to most everything MC is well known for ...The Indiana Dunes State Park, the Washington Park Zoo, Historic (1858) Michigan City Lighthouse and Pier, and of course, the beautiful Sheridan Beach along the shores of Lake Michigan! Lots to do in a short drive by car, whether in the mood for indoor or outdoor adventures! Lovers of shopping will go crazy at the Michigan City Lighthouse Place Premium Outlet Mall with 100 stores-OR for more unique finds, check out the different shops down in the Uptown Arts District of Franklin St! Lovers of outdoor adventures can check out Friendship Botanical Gardens, kayaking on Trail Creek, guided boat tours for fishing, sailing and sunset cruising, -OR head to the Indiana Dunes or Warren Dunes State Parks for swimming and climbing some of the natural sand dunes that are protected in our area. Hungry yet? Plenty of beach casual, more upscale or in- between dining options in the local restaurant/cafe/ bar scene of the area- depending if you're in the mood for Italian, Mexican, American seafood and steaks or simply Delicious Pizza, hot dogs or sandwiches. You can find it all, and try something different every night! Dune Billie's Breakfast & Lunch Cafe and Cool Runnings Jamaican Restaurant are both within walking distance from the cottage with Shoreline Brewery and Restaurant, Bridges Waterside Grille, Fiddle Heads, Leed's Public House, Galveston's Steak House, Bartlett's Fish Camp, Swingbelly's, Zorn Brew Works Co., Burn ‘Em Brewery, Matey's, Scartozzi's Trattoria, Miller's Pizza AND MORE all within a short drive! You will never run out of options!! Shady Creek Winery Tour during the day, Blue Chip Casino Hotel Spa, or Four Winds Casino Resort by night--any would make a spectacular girls or guys trip, AND don't forget that the windy city of Chicago is also only an hour drive by car or a hour and a half relaxing South Shore train ride away! The surrounding fun and adventures may never end, but this home will always welcome you back to relax your mind and rest your tired feet!

The two queen beds were super comfortable and the beach is a short walk. There was an issue with the A/C and Angie let us know before we even arrived that she would take care of it ASAP. She was always readily available for any questions and recommendations. The backyard games, bikes and boogie boards were huge hits for our kids. We now have to have boogie boards anytime we go to the water :) We come up to Lake Michigan every summer and plan to return to this home next year. Thank you for a wonderful stay! ##### Shantel A.

There were bikes, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, backyard games, indoor games, puzzles, books, movies, a gaming system and the list goes on! The kitchen was stocked and even included a little Keurig coffee bar with coffee/hot chocolate and all the fixings. If you are considering a trip to Michigan City Indiana, do not think twice.

They truly have everything for for fun in the sun to rainy weather/staying in activities. There is a book with all the rules, places to go, restaurants (and menus), grocery stores. We ordered pizza one night, another night we hung out at the firepit, making hot dogs and smores. The beach was a bit chilly but we anticipated that with the time of year. Even though it was chilly it was beautiful and peaceful. The cottage is charming and it feels like home. We could tell how much love has been poured into making this a fabulous getaway! So many thoughtful details. One of my favorites was the labeling of things like light switches. My girls loved it and even my teenage son enjoyed the house - and you know sometimes not much impresses them at that age. Lol. Serendipity—they picked the best and most fitting name for this slice of heaven. Thank you for sharing this special place with us. I sincerely hope we followed all the rules and didn't miss anything at checkout. I would love to return for a longer stay. I highly recommend. The owners are attentive and just a text away if you have a question.You can't go wrong with this one!!!! ##### Johanna G. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alise G.

Also equipped with everything we needed for our baby including baby monitor and high chair. Loved the back yard for fires every night. ##### Alise G.

We were so impressed with this place! The minute we walked in the door we knew we would love it. The finiahes are gorgeous and the whole place is full of lots of unexpected amenities. We are very picky with lodgings but all our expectations were met and then some. Such a comfy cozy retreat for our family of 5. We already can’t wait to book it again next year! ##### Maggie L.

This was probably the nicest property we have ever stayed! The hosts communicated very well even with my family’s hectic schedule. My husband and son arrived a day ahead of myself and daughter. It was just the relaxing vacation we all needed! We walked to the beach daily as well as the zoo one day, breakfast another and dinner one night. I love being able to walk to places which was one major point that attracted me to this house. There wasn’t anything we needed that was not provided! My husband and son even took the kayak down to the beach one day. I wish we could have stayed longer! I would definitely stay here again! Thanks for a lovely place! ##### Elizabeth G.

Just a short walk to the beach with all the staples (beach cart, umbrella, chairs, coolers, etc.) available. Property manager was super friendly and responsive and even mailed us a couple items we left behind. Highly recommended! ##### Aron D.

It had everything we needed! The beds were comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. They have all sorts of toys and items for the beach. Our daughters loved all the books and games when we wanted to cool off in the house. It is super close to a nice beach! We also enjoyed going to the Indiana Dunes National Park each day, so our daughters could be Jr. Rangers. I totally recommend this house! We loved it! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith H.

The house is well stocked with beach equipment, much more than I would have expected. There are also wonderful touches throughout the stay that made it feel like home. Would stay again. ##### Keith H.

Very cute house and yard with everything you need and then some. Short walk to the beach and zoo.
