Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We enjoyed our stay. The location of the house was great. Kai lake is not really a lake you’d want to swim in (although a few do). The pool facilities were great, the common areas with ping pong, pool table, basketball & tennis court, playground and gardens. We moved walking around. The house has its own kayaks, bikes, wagon and chairs for beach, umbrella. We did not see any towels that resembled beach towels, so bring your own. There is a hairdryer. Any cooking items (oil, spices) are not stocked if you plan to do cooking.

Fabulous week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house we stayed at was directly on Kai Lake. This lake was perfect for my grandchildren ages 1 thru 11. A sandy beach just feet from our porch were we could actually watch them play from our porch. Lake Michigan was a 7 min. walk. Swimming pool was also just feet away. The home was very clean and just as advertised. This was our 3rd time coming to Beachwalk and I'm sure it will not be our last.

Liked: Location
We had a wonderful time and the location of our house was perfect. We were close to all the amenities and had a view of Lake Kai the whole time. Our grandchildren loved the beach right outside our door. We spent many happy hours on the screened in porch, loved the pool nearby and celebrated with ice cream in the evening. Would highly recommend this rental.

Great location of property in a nice neighborhood with parks and areas to walk. Very clean and family oriented. Our property included plenty of sleeping options and a nice screened in porch with plenty of seating and outdoor seating and you step right onto the boardwalk which surrounds the lake homes as well as continues down Lake Kai. Our unit was very generously stocked with soap, toilet paper, some shampoo, K-cups, plenty of kitchenware and cooking and grilling utensils. Washer and dryer and plenty of bath towels. Storage shed included 6 beach chairs, 2 wagons, 2 beach umbrellas, cooler and beach toys. Approximate 15-minute walk to beach. Beach was beautiful and well worth spending a couple days. Our property was just 1 home away from the pool and splash pad which was included in our stay. There is a cute cafe/ice cream/coffee/gift shop where you can get to-go or eat outdoors. Soft serve was excellent! Sand volleyball, basketball court, tennis court, open area with fireplace and tv for larger groups, paddle boats, kayaks and shuffleboard also available. There was music in the park on Saturday night. You will need a resort band to enter the pool area. If you lose your wristband etc you will have a 15 fee to replace. Parking pass is provided and we had to purchase an additional pass and had off street parking. Would recommend the area for a nice getaway family vacation.

Beautiful weekend away!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You would never believe you were in Indiana! This truly feels like a key west vacation! The grounds were immaculately clean, the pool and splash pad were well kept and great for our kids! Lake Kai was great and Lake Michigan was an easy walk! This house was such a great location! You have the beach right out the back door, a quick walk down the boardwalk to the activity center, and steps from the pool! The house was so clean on arrival and had plenty of space for our 10 adults, 2 kids, and 2 infants. Seating was never hard to get and a table big enough for family dinner. Cannot recommend this house enough! Already booked next year! The only complaint our family came up with was wishing there was additional trash cans in the house. Management was so helpful and great with communication.

Great Family Visit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was great for our family - a small sandy area just off the porch and before the boardwalk with a bigger beach area in front of the lake. Four children under 10. Kayaks and paddle boards available free as part of the package. Two bedrooms up and one bath, one bedroom main with 2 baths. Would have preferred a second bath upstairs. Overall, very pleasant and enjoyable.
