Our Duneland Rentals cottages are right on the beach in the heart of the Indiana Dunes. This charming lakefront cottage is located on three hundred feet of private beach. The gradual sandy beach is excellent for swimming and the sunsets from the south shore of Lake Michigan are incredible.
Porter Beach is a small beach community located on the borders of the Indiana Dunes State Park and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and just one hour from downtown Chicago. The beautiful beach stretches in either direction for miles and within minutes you can get to wonderful nature trails, excellent restaurants, quaint shops and many interesting cultural attractions.
The trails vary in length and difficulty but are all wonderful for both hiking and cross country skiing. There are also some excellent sledding hills nearby. Other close by sights include historic Chelberg Farm, Westchester Township History Museum, Zao Island Amusement Park, Taltree Arboretum, Calumet Bike Trail, Imagination Glen with a BMX race track and a 10 mile Outback Mountain Bike Trail and Broken Wagon Bison Farm and many more wonderful places to explore and activities to delight.

Happiness comes in Waves. Beach was perfect!
Small cottage, had good assortment of kitchen utensils. Cozy, a bit rustic, not pretentious. Owners have several cottages in this area. Fortunate to meet nice folks around a campfire on the beach. Would stay again, maybe later in the season. Water was a brisk 54 degrees in May.

Amazing place to stay at the Dunes
We loved every moment of our time here. We couldn't believe how close we were to the beach. Our kids were running in the waves and collecting rocks and playing in the sand within moments of our arrival. Highly recommended. Would absolutely stay here again.

Dreamy
We visited just after the New Year. It was beautiful to see snow on the beach. The views from the cottage are amazing. We slept so well every night with the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. I had a couple of minor hiccups thay were entirely my own fault and the hosts were gracious enough to help promptly. The cottage has everything, including dishes and cookware. I really enjoyed the stove and want to replace my own now. Take heed of the reviews about the stairs, they're sturdy and in good repair but there are a lot of them. Knowing that in advance we just didn't use suitcases, we packed weekender bags/backpacks. Our hosts had great recommendations for things to see/do around the dunes and in Chicago, which is just an hour train ride away. Highly recommend, we're already talking about coming back this summer.

Expectation Management
We had expected to have fire wood available by the fire ring as other VRBO’s we have stayed at. If you want a fire, get the wood before you go down to the house, it is quit a climb. Beautiful, restful, and clean. Do the three Dune challenge, it’s great!

Great spot for staying while visiting Dunes
Next to State Park. Large beach area. Beautuful view of sunset. Very quiet. The unit had anything we needed. Full size fridge, stove, microwave. TV living area and bedroom. Comfortable bed. Ocy si temp dropped but unit remained comfortable. Have to hike up and down about 60 steps so not accessible for all. But was good earmup for the 3Dunes Challenge at park.

Wonderful On the Beach Location!
Stayed here for a long birthday weekend with my daughter. The view of Lake Michigan and the sunsets were amazing! This place had everything we needed. It is a peaceful private location in between 2 public beaches at the Indiana Dunes State and National Parks. The description of the stairs is accurate. The stairs are not for people with bad knees or any other physical condition that might prevent you from getting up and down them. The stairs not a problem for us. I would definitely stay here again. Susan (the owner) was helpful during check in and orienting us to the place.

Getaway
This was a nice, clean, and charming place. We enjoyed our stay on the beach. However, next time we would pack light and be prepared for about 60 stair steps from the top of the hill, where you park to the house. Check-in was quick and the host was gracious to help carry luggage to the house. I would recommend this place and hope to revisit soon!

Fantastic location!
The owners, Susan and Erica have a lovely group of VRBO's on the beach. The location could not have been better. The upstairs space was simple and clean. Furniture and kitchen was basic but they had everything you need. An actual demonstration of the european stove would have been helpful as it was difficult to light. There were little glitches (broken coffee maker, fire alarm going off) that were mostly dealt with a rapid response. The walls are thin and you hear conversations from the neighbors. The stairs are a REAL thing to deal with if you have luggage, coolers or the like. Susan was extremely kind to offer her help in bringing the cooler down. Overall it was a great place to get away for a few days and chillax. The nearby Dunes National Park is great for hiking. For the price, we felt it was a good deal.

Relaxing vacation
Picked this cottage because of location directly on the beach and positive recommendations. Property as described, clean, slept four comfortably and nearly everything provided. OTA TV only but Roku worked great. Good wifi.Was warned about steps so did not bring any suitcases but backpacks and lightweight duffle bags. Brought bottled water but not needed as Culligan filter on faucet. I have balance issues but managed the steps. They had another handrail placed to assist me the day after we arrived. Susan and Erika were both very helpful and pleasant. Several reasonably priced restaurants and pubs within 8-10 minute drive and not much traffic. We will plan to return next if possible. Strongly recommend if able to climb several steps.

Peaceful and fabulous view
Loved our stay… the warning on steps is accurate! We were fine but could be issue for some. We had a short stay so steps were not a huge issue . They could be more lit up at night. The cottage was quaint,super clean and comfortable. We were probably off season , had the beach and the dunes to ourselves!

Great Location
Enjoyed our couple of day stay here very much. The location right on the beach is amazing. It's very quiet and private compared to the busy section of beach down about a 1/4 mile dedicated to the national park. In May of 2022 the beach is fairly wide - nothing like the high tide they had back in 2020 so fear not. Sunsets are fantastic. The guest hosts are friendly and accommodating. The rooms are very clean and well maintained - no complaints about our visit at all and will make it a point to return in the future.

Relaxing, great location.
The listing was accurate except that there were additional amenities that I didn't notice in the listing such as a grill, outdoor fire pit, and beach accessories. Which was a nice bonus upon arrival! Susan is great and easy to communicate with. Cell service is spotty but who cares for relaxing for a few days. The oven is tricky and may have been user error. Loved the location. It's a fabulous getaway for staying right in the beach. You really could just stay there and not leave, but the proximity to the national and state parks makes it so you want to explore nature. Technically you can walk along the lake shore to get into the state park. We drove into Chesterton for coffee one day and then explored other sights by car. The rental is cozy and clean and perfect for two adults and two young kids. I loved that the kids could play on the beach and I could sit and relac or make meals and still watch them. Beautiful lake and sunset views. Definitely want to stay here again.

Amazing location!
We had an absolute blast at this location! We visited in early March so obviously not beach weather but it was really cool to be right on the lake. The house was perfect for what we needed. We spent a day hiking at the Dunes state park, which was only about 5 minutes away. Chesterton IN is nearby and had some great restaurants/breweries/taprooms. We really enjoyed this trip and would definitely book here again!

Amazing Experience
The place was very clean! Especially considering all the sand around. Had everything we needed and didn't have to leave if we didn't want to. Great view of the lake from kitchen and living room. Susan was prompt on answering any questions we had. The extras we loved was the provided firewood, access to kayak, paddle board, and Lilly pad. Although it was too chilly to get in water during our stay. Highly recommend. I'm positive we'll be back next year.

Wonderful beach getaway
Everything was perfect! Exactly what we were looking for… beach, sunset, beautiful lake! We found everything we needed in the cottage. It was very clean, comfortable, quiet. Only downside — the steep steps/hill between car and cottage. For someone with bad knees (like me) this could be a real problem, but I just kept my trips to a minimum and took it slowly. We loved it here and hope to book it again next year.
