Nice location. Cute place. Enjoyed the hot tub and the bike rides to duneland beach. Loved that their was a park down the street for young kids. Safe, family friendly neighborhood. Would recommend better upkeep outside since the yard was covered in dry leaves and couldn't enjoy the space.

The inside of the house was very clean and neat. The shed has a lot of wonderful things to use for the beach and bikes but everything was covered in spider webs and dirt. A nice place to walk to the beach, hike, and ride bikes.

We had a great time! Walked to the pizza place, beach and park just up the street. We used the grill, fire pit and hot tub daily! We loved the fenced in yard for the dog. This place was decorated beautifully, clean and stocked for our trip! Management was easy to reach and responsive. We will be back!

Property was great! Well maintained and thought of everything. The only part that surprised us was that the yard was not fully fenced in- not a problem unless you would like your pet off leash. Otherwise the property is in a great location and has everything you could need for a wonderful stay!

Family time.

The wooded neighborhood was lovely. Deer strolled right through the yard. We very much enjoyed the screened porch for playing games and the firepit area. Well stocked with everything we needed. We appreciated the little extra touches like cookies and coffee.

Wonderful Experience!

Wonderful house that is in a fabulous location. Rooms are clean and there is anything you would need for a fun beach day. We also thought the house decor was very cute. The best part was being able to use the fire pit at night and relax in the adironack chairs.The only thing that I would recommend to improve is a few ant traps on the back porch and front door, there were a lot of them. Not a huge deal as it is something to be expected in a house in the woods. Would highly recommend this for anyone visiting Michiana Shores!

This is a very cute little house. Everything was clean and in good shape and looked like the listing. They also had coffee and plenty of basics for the visit, which I highly appreciate, and newish bed linens. It’s in a nice community with a good wood fired pizza place a few blocks away. Only negatives are that it is VERY small - the bathroom and one bedroom in particular. And it’s a 15-20 minute walk to the nearest beach, which has zero parking. We ended up taking a car to ferry the kids and all our gear, then driving home and taking one of the bikes in the garage back to the beach.

We have never been in this area before, we usually head to N MI. This took us aback, as the waterfront and cities were beautiful. We couldn't be more happy about our communications w/the host. Every question answered, from start to finish, was quick and accurate. Had a couple of bumps (not to hosts' fault) and they were quick and resolved issue immediately. Beach is truly breathtaking and only a lovely 12-15 min walk from the front door. Home and surroundings were cozy, quiet, and private. Host provides everything except food! Coffee makers for both Keurig (and K-cups) & coffee pot. Interior decor quite adorable. Short on dressers/closet space, but manageable for sure. We will definitely come back and go through Juniper Holiday Home. Highly recommend. 1st time Vrbo customer as well.

Thank you for the wonderful 5‑star review and for giving our area a try. We're glad the waterfront and nearby towns were a pleasant surprise and that our communication was prompt and helpful. Sorry for the bumps you encountered, but those were resolved quickly. Thanks for the note about limited dresser/closet space. We’ll look at ways to improve storage for future guests. We’d love to host you again and appreciate the recommendation.
