  We held a family reunion, renting 3 beach houses. This house was perfect for all our needs. Large rooms, clean, updated, many bathrooms, large well-stocked kitchen. We would definitely stay again!

  We rented both of Trish's properties (plus another home in Beachwalk) to accommodate a family reunion. Everything was wonderful! We feed 30-40 people (ages 2-82) out of the kitchens twice a day and the outside eating area was perfect. With so many bedrooms and beds, everyone had their own 'space' yet we were all together! We were all so impressed and had a fantastic time.

  This is the second year that my family has stayed at this house. It is absolutely wonderful!! There is a total of 12 of us that stay there, and we cannot say enough about how inviting and comfortable this house is. We love that we can spread out to all the different areas in the house. We love that when we eat dinner, we are still able to all eat in the same room. The outdoor dining area is amazing...it's such a nice way to start or end your day! The beach is wonderful! It's the cleanest stretch of beach that we have been on in awhile. The lofted area in the house is awesome for the teenagers in our family to gather. We couldn't be happier!

  We booked the two side-by-side houses in July 2011 to fit (quite easily) 19 family members from 5 states, including 5 married couples, some young adults, 3 kids from 6-12 years old, and 2 teen-agers. Our 82 year old mom and 89 year old dad appreciated one of the main floor master beds/baths, and the younger kids enjoyed sharing the upper family room with day beds. Splendid accommodations -- comfy, beachy, clean, well-equipped -- with plenty of room to spread out and find a place to make some noise or play a game without disturbing those wanting to read or have a quiet chat. Made good use of the beach (and the beach chairs!), right across the sleepy street and down a sandy dune path, and the inviting backyard(s), too. There always seemed to be a cluster of us in the bigger house's kitchen, hanging around the island just enjoying each other's company. Brava and thanks, Owner Trish!

  I booked this house for 8 adults and 4 children under the age of 3. It was perfect! Not only was there enough room for everyone to relax and do their own thing, but it was beautifully decorated and well stocked. The pictures really do not do this house justice. Also, Trish is WONDERFUL to work with and very accommodating. You will not be disappointed if you book this house!

  We had 9 adults and a 15 month old stay for a mini college reunion. Trish was a fantastic person to work with - replied back quickly to questions and was easy to get ahold of even when we had a question at the house. I have stayed at multiple places through vrbo and this was by far the nicest one. Everything you need is at this house - a complete kitchen with everything you need to cook breakfast, lunch, or dinner, plenty of outdoor seating, and even hairdryers in all of the bathrooms! The path to the beach is across the street, and it is not crowded since it's far enough away from public parking. We ate at the local brewery, went to the farmers market on Saturday morning, hit the outlet malls, and spent time biking by the dunes. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably (plus some!) and the bathrooms were amazing! I highly recommend this house to anyone needing room for large groups.

  Myself and 9 other women booked this house for a weekend away from the busy lifes we lead. We were amazed at how well stocked this house was with everything you could imagine you needed, games, books, dvd player, beautiful patio, fully stocked kitchen, 3 different family rooms/sitting areas, 4 1/2 baths, cozy beds, so wonderful, we didn't want to leave!! The spa bathrooms were wonderful, many of the women were thrilled to take a shower without a toddler or child pounding on the door and were so excited to use the spa like bathrooms, we had to take numbers for our turn to use them!!! The owners of the home really have done a great job creating a home that can be shared by a large group of people, whether family or friends, there was no lack of space. The backyard and arbor was a great place to sit and drink your coffee or wine and relax. The house was easy to find, close to the lake, minutes from the Outlet Mall and Blue Chip Casino as well as a beautiful family zoo. We also found time to make our way to some of the local wineries and enjoy the local wines and lovely family owned restaurants. The kitchen can seat everyone comfortably which allowed us to enjoy a wonderful Sunday brunch together. I cannot say enough about what a great rental this was and would recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable, relaxing, weekend with friends or family. We loved it so much, we are already trying to book our girls weekend for next year! Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful weekend!

  We've stayed here twice. Love the area and the walk across the street, down the sand dunes and to Lake Michigan. Lovely backyard. We've shared with another family and hope to come back as schedules allow. Big kitchen, which is great for larger group.

  This is the only place I stay when I need a quick Michigan City escape from Chicago living. The house is beautiful with three finished floors, it's easy to have everyone in one room, or send the kids (or the dads) to another floor while the girls enjoy a little R&R on the main level. The house is literally steps away from the breathtakingly beautiful beach, which is great for sunning in winter, or cool walks in winter. Love it, love it, love it!!!!
