Lovely house in a perfect location.
The location is perfect for visiting the Indiana Dunes State & National Park and Lake Michigan. Very quiet and private. Had all the amenities we needed. Would recommend.

Perfect for a couple couples
My girlfriend and our friends stayed here for the weekend and the layout was ideal for two couples. The split bedrooms allowed for the perfect amount of privacy.

Glad we went
We enjoyed seeing the area. The house was clean and had everything we needed but for a place with so many windows and skylights it was incredibly dark. We called it the cave. The lighting was so bad. But we walked to the beach and especially enjoyed the Pavillion at the beach. Would have been helpful to understand the parking situation at the beach (can a short term pass be obtained by guests through the city?), but we made it work. We enjoyed our visit.

Good short stay
Loved the house and furnishings. Great kitchen. A few small things, ice maker didn’t work, TV wasn’t connected to network, but fixed it next day. Also, the notebook with information about the property didn’t reflect the local area, restaurants listed were 30,minutes away. We

Beach House
The location was perfect. You could easily walk to the beach. I feel like the house could have been slightly cleaner but it was not bad. I did make a call to rental company and they never returned the phone call. All in all it was still a good experience.

Beautiful view, quiet property, close to the dunes. Could use some touchup.
Loved the location. Quiet. Felt the cleanliness of the property could be better. Master bed was sandy. Towels were stained. Outside area didn't look it had been cleaned in some time. Windows dirty. Garbage cans outside hadn't been emptied in some time. Also that front step is dangerous. My husband fell not thinking that the first step is so awkward. I would be concerned for elderly staying at this location. I would suggest having shampoo/conditioner and other such amenities available to quests. Perhaps a welcome basket.

Great Location
This is a cute house. Great location within walking distance to two beaches. On quiet days, you can hear the waves crashing in Lake Michigan. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. Large deck spanning the back of the house. Easy access off the road.

Lack of followup
A very nice property/location. Could have used more basic supplies such as bath and kitchen towels. We contacted management about oven not working, toilet that didn't flush properly and missing supplies. They responded someone would be by "shortly." 4 hours later person arrived, clearly hadn't been given a copy of our email/full details about issues. He did get oven working but didn't even look at the toilet. Said he'd be back to bring missing items and he never returned, We got a voicemail only message was to call back. We did and got voicemail. I sent an email telling them we never heard back and there was no response.
