Jul 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful House. The house was great! Plenty of space for all my family. Very close to the beach and only about 20min from the Indiana Dunes State Park. The stairs to the basement was a little steep. However, the kids loved having their own space. Great arcade games. Kitchen was very useful, but I would recommend bring your own pans. ##### Stacy P. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Rebecca P. Aug 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great option There are many things about this stay we really enjoyed. The host has good communication and has set up the home very nice. Unfortunately, the condition of the home was not what we prefer to experience when we rent a home. Part of this was cleanliness and the host was good to try to resolve the situation, which to some extent was out of her control and we were grateful for her very professional response. ##### Rebecca P.

However on the initial walk through we notice hair in the tub, and trash in garbage that was missed. We did go buy an iron, and kitchen strainer for our use. We appreciated the extra bottles of water. Overall it worked for us just a bit pricey. ##### Toyalita C. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly J.

We would DEFINITELY stay here again. ##### Kimberly J. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Decerrie R.

Jan 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property and good location My family and I traveled from St Louis to Gary Indiana for a funeral and stayed at this beautiful property. When we arrived at the property and spoke with Christina the owner the check in process was good and she was nice and polite and stated if we need anything to just give her a call. As we walked through the property I was amazed how everything was set up. Christina had plenty of games and all of the necessities that were needed for our weekend stay there at this newly remodeled home. Christina is a great host and I want to say thanks for everything and I will be staying here again. Beautiful home you must see it for yourself. ##### Sylvia L.
