Perfect short walk to the beach!

Our favorite part staying at this home was how close it was to the beach! ☀️ 🏖️ Our host stayed in contact with us and we enjoyed our stay. We noticed that there were small factors (lack of toilet paper, wobbly chairs, hard to lock patio door) that needed improvement but overall we greatly enjoyed staying in this home with wonderful friends.

Loved it!

Christy was really flexible with letting us check in early which we greatly appreciated! House is better than the pictures indicate- had a lot of fun grilling and hanging out on the deck, relaxing indoors, and it really is a very short (<5 min) walk from the house to the beach. Perfect getaway for Memorial Day weekend and we will certainly be back!

Perfect beach house

This is our third stay in the house, and we’ve had a great experience each time. There is room for extended family to stay together but still have plenty of space. The kids love the basement tv setup and the adults especially enjoy the back porch. Christy is a wonderful host and very responsive to any questions!

Great spot for a family get-together

The house was a great size for our 3 generation family gathering. Plenty of space for everyone, and lots of different hang-out spaces to be together. It is super close to the beach. We came in the off season and so didn't get to enjoy the big deck, but it looked like a lovely space for relaxing. The host's communication was excellent and very helpful. We'd definitely recommend this place!

What a perfect property... location, deck, multiple living areas and just like the pictures. We are fortunately enough to take our family on a vacation every year and feel blessed that we were able to spend it at Michigan City this year. We walked to the beach everyday and grilled out in the evening perfect! From Kansas City MO

Life is a Beach

Great family vacation at this lovely home, only a short walk from the beach. There was plenty of room, and a great enclosed deck for little kids to roam. They allowed pets, which let us bring a dog to share the family time. The only downside was the HOT weather! Highly recommend this property and location.

Spacious and cozy

Stellar location close to the beach on Lake Michigan. Plenty of space for 6 adults, 5 kids and a dog. Cute decor throughout the house, and the stash of beach toys was helpful. Front room gets the early evening sun and was a favorite hangout spot before we walked to the beach to watch the sunset. Splendid!

Most relaxing Thanksgiving ever!

With 25 years of celebrating Thanksgiving together, this was the most relaxing one yet. Perfect late fall weather made the location on the beach incredible! The house was cozy, comfortable, and fit us just right. We used the fireplace and the deck, the "kids" who are no longer kids at all totally enjoyed the bunk room, we cooked and laughed, played silly games and made plans, and enjoyed time together in beautiful Sheridan Beach.

We were 3 generations - teens, adults, and grandparents. The house was spacious and fit us all with a nice dining area and outdoor patio. The neighborhood is nice and has easy access to the beach and also the restaurants and amenities in Michigan City. Check-in and check-out was super easy and it was easy to communicate with the owner via the VRBO app. We had no issues.
