Wonderful property right by the water! Fantastic layout for 3 adult couples or families. Very clean and well appointed. Great indoor and outdoor spaces to hang out! Lots to do in the area.
We had a great time at the house. The kiddo especially loved the loft hammock! Great place to stay with out family as we celebrated thanksgiving in the area!
This house was everything we could have asked for! It was clean and stocked with everything we needed and then some. The beach access was perfect! A bit of a drive to most restaurants but there are some delicious options 20-30m away. Pizza at Flamingos was within walking distance and very good. Hosts were extremely responsive and kind!
We loved our stay. The property was clean, comfortable and the hosts clearly spent a huge amount of time and energy thinking of everything to make it a smooth stay. They had so many thoughtful touches from eye masks to extra blankets. Communication with the hosts was also a breeze. I am certain we will be repeat guests!
This rental is a modern piece of heaven. Everything you would need the owner's thought of. Location is so close to the beach and plenty of parks. The amenities outside are as nice as the inside. Definitely would stay here again.
Great location and property-perfect for a beach getaway and gathering place! Jim and Angie are fantastic hosts and have thought of everything. Perfect decor with so many personal touches. The beach is just steps away, and Lake Michigan was pristine. Rent Holliday House and you will be so happy you did!
We had an amazing stay at the Holliday House! The house is just like it looks in the photos. We loved all of the special little touches around the house. The location is great- cross the street, take a little path, and you will be on the beach. We were there in the off season (March), but hope to return when the weather gets a little warmer. There was plenty of space for 2 adults and 4 teens.
You won’t be disappointed in this house! The entire weekend was so easy and comfortable. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Great hosts and their taste in the home and decor was impeccable.
Great owners, unbelievable home! Beautiful! They think of everything that anyone would need for a wknd getaway or vac home. Literally they think of everything! Great people to work with from beginning to end. Can't say enough good things!

Thanks Jeff - glad you guys had a great time - hope to see you back soon!
This home was ever thing as advertised and more. The hosts thought of ever tiny detail to make our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. Several outdoor games provided that we really enjoyed. It was one of our favorite VRBO rentals ever. We definitely hope to return someday. The very short walk to the beach and all the beach accessories they provide were also a fantastic touch. It was obvious they put a lot of thought and care into providing a fabulous experience for their guests.
We loved the Holliday House! The owners have thought of everything you would want and need in a vacation home. The house is great for family and group gatherings! It is beautiful, but also extremely functional.
We loved the indoor/outdoor seating featured in the kitchen to the patio! The kitchen bar window was fun and useful while dining outside.
The access to the beach was great and easy to come and go to the beach house. All items you need to go to the beach were provided as well (toys, chairs, umbrellas, and towels etc.)
There are also plenty of spaces to retreat alone to relax, read, or sip your cuppa!
The house itself is amazing and beautifully decorated. We appreciated the toys for our four-year old and board games for our teenagers.
We hope to come back again!

We’re so happy you and your family enjoyed the house and the beach! Can’t wait to have you all back again…
This place has everything! Location! Plenty of space! Gorgeous bedrooms, bathrooms, patio, grounds. We stayed for a short weekend and wished it was longer. There were 6 adults, and we all had our own space but also the main room/kitchen was great for gathering and cooking. You cannot beat the location. The dunes are literally at your doorstep. Some people came from Indiana, others drove in from out of state, and others flew into Chicago. Holliday House is so easy to get to while also feeling totally away from it all. And if lounging around in the beautiful space isn't enough, it's a super quick drive to the state and national parks. The house comes with great suggestions and information about the local area. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend!
The Holliday House is a lively retreat with great views of Lake Michigan at Miller Beach. The house is comfortable and well stocked with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable and cozy. Check in and check out were easy.
WOW! This was a truly amazing weekend at the HOLLIDAY HOUSE in Miller Beach. We want to thank you for sharing your beautiful home. While we were anticipating a beautiful “rental property”, Holliday House is so much more than beautiful. From its location, an hour from Chicago, to just a hop from one of Lake Michigan’s sandy beaches, its modern style with large windows that lets the right amount of sunlight in, its comfortable furniture and Zen décor, to the many smallest of touches, the Holliday House is truly a treasure! We loved the quiet and peacefulness of the beach and neighborhood, the trails in the nearby dunes of Northwest Indiana, the local farmers markets, and the friendly people we met.
This weekend was so wonderful and relaxing! Thank you.
I have lived here in Miller Beach my entire life. My family and I love hiking, biking and enjoying this amazing area. I love hosting because I get to let others experience everything about this town that I have been lucky enough to have.
