This location appears to be a delightful retreat, conveniently situated just eight minutes from the beach. This marks our second visit to Megan's establishment. We particularly appreciate the tranquility of the neighborhood and the comfortable atmosphere provided by the accommodations.

I came in very March weather for NW Indiana (meaning we flopped between 60 degrees, a thunderstorm, and snow) and found the property very quiet and welcoming. The host has done a good job at making the space inviting.

Thank you so much for the kind words! March in NW Indiana is nothing if not an adventure — you never quite know what you’re going to get! We’re so glad the property felt quiet and welcoming despite the wild weather swings. We hope you’ll come back and visit us in a calmer season!

Our stay here for my boyfriend's birthday was truly delightful, and we enjoyed every moment. The covered deck, the lighting, the fire pit, the backyard, and the accommodations themselves were all superb. The location is very convenient, being just three blocks from the beach and Lake Michigan. The neighborhood offers a wonderful vacation atmosphere, and there is a restaurant situated only five houses away. We loved it!!!! Thank you!!!

Convenient, clean, and comfortable

Megan checked in on us, beach chairs, towels, sheets were nice, tv projector worked great. Deck was nice. We had all that we needed and enjoyed ourselves. It was nice just strolling half a block to dinner and entertainment.

Nice clean place. We felt safe in the neighborhood walking back-and-forth to the beach. It was a 10 minute walk to the beach. Pros clean, great backyard and deck, chairs included. The large screen was cool for watching movies. Cons: no microwave, tiny shower and the room was very warm and we were not able to control the air. It made it hard to sleep at night.
