"BEACH BALL"
MAKE YOUR PLANS NOW -- ONLY SUMMER 2009 WEEKS LEFT ARE IN JUNE. HOWEVER, YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DISCOUNTED AND W/E RATES FOR THE SPRING AND FALL---GREAT TIMES TO VISIT.
BEACHWALK RESORT is a 160-acre family community nestled amid the Indiana National Dunes, directly across Lakeshore Drive from Lake Michigan's Pristine Sheridan Beach (and a 5-mile beach walk from New Buffalo, MI--ha, ha, ha).
Distinguished by Coastal Living Magazine as "a new community of colorful cottages rising from Lake Michigan's golden sands," Beachwalk's unique, charming properties--accented by picket fences, gardens, and winding streets--create a picturesque, neighbor-friendly beach community set amongst the natural beauty of the sand dune landscape that offers "a step back in time."
Enjoy a day partaking of Beachwalk's many amenities, and then--perhaps--pack a bottle of wine, jump in the golf cart, and join the nightly pilgrimmage down to Lake Michigan for a sunset of fun and friendship. Or, relax and watch the sun set from your own private deck on the shores of the little lake (Lake Kai). There is so much or so little you can do.
Our beach house ("BEACH BALL") is a spacious, two-and-a-half story "cottage" located directly on the shores of Lake Kai (which is perfect for swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddle-boating, or just admiring)! The beach house is also a short 5 minute stroll from Lake Michigan (or, a 1 minute ride on our golf cart, which is included with the house during the summer season).
Next, let's summarize the layout of the house for you.
THE MAIN-FLOOR living area consists of an open, spacious living room, dining area, and kitchen--all of which share magnificent views of Lake Kai and the surrounding dunes. This soaring, two-story space has 2 walls of windows that seem to bring the lake, the dunes, and the sky right indoors. French doors lead from this "great room" onto the large (25' x 10') deck overlooking Lake Kai. The main floor also includes 3 bedrooms, each of which opens directly into 1 of 2 main-floor bathrooms, making each feel more like a mini-suite than a bedroom.
THE TOP-FLOOR master suite is spacious and private, with a king-sized bed and a beautiful, stone and sea-glass tile bathroom--which includes a double vanity, shower, and spa tub. Adjacent to the master suite is a spacious "nook" with a couple of cozy chairs perfect for reading. Down the hall from the master suite, a catwalk leads to the "tower room," which provides unobstructed views of the lakeshore, dunes, and neighboring cottages.
THE GROUND / WALK-OUT FLOOR offers a 2nd, larger family room, complete with a beautiful pool table, large TV (with DVD) and a large, comfortable seating area (with stereo). This light-filled space includes 4 French doors that open directly onto to a 25' x 10' patio, which leads out to the sandy front yard and the shores of Lake Kai. The 5th bedroom is also located on this level and includes a queen and double bed and opens directly into the 4th full bathroom (with tub/shower) and adjoining walk-in closet.
