This was our second year staying at “the purple house” with extended family (all between the ages of 2 and 65) and we had another wonderful experience. Trish is great with communication and an incredible host. We hope to continue the tradition of renting this beautiful house!

Perfect family spot!

Our cousin vacation couldn't be better! Royal Retreat is a super house for multiple families with a great layout of bedrooms and bathrooms and plenty of space in the basement for the kids to bunk up. Terrific common area where we could all cook and eat together, play games, and hang out. Loved the screened porch -- hot tub and grill were great and the golf cart and wagon make it easy to get to the beach. We'll be back!

Great stay in Michigan City!

Stunning property that is walking distance to the lake! Perfect for hosting my family and friends for graduation weekend at Notre Dame (very simple/easy drive to campus). We really enjoyed the amenities and the check out process was very easy. The host was also very kind and responsive! Would definitely recommend this property for anyone in the Michiana area!

Better than expected!

We were a family group, ages 1-91 and everyone was comfy and had a great time! We found it to be Exceptionally clean, fresh and well-appointed. The house is bright and cheery and the owner responded quickly to all our questions. We are already thinking about booking again. We really liked the plentiful beach towels but we do recommend bringing your own beach chairs.

THE BEST!

My family of 12 have been renting vacation homes for over 20 years, and this one is hands down the best we’ve ever stayed in. Everything about the home was perfect, beautifully maintained, thoughtfully stocked, and so comfortable for our whole group. You can really tell the owners put a lot of care into every detail. The location within Beachwalk Resort was ideal, with easy access to the beach, pool, and all the fun amenities. We made so many great memories and truly didn’t want to leave. Already looking forward to coming back next year, thank you for an unforgettable stay!

A terrific winter escape

About the host

Hosted by Tricia Pusatera

Royal Retreat is owned by the Pusatera brothers. John, Mike and Matt and their families live in the Chicago Suburbs. They have many fond memories of the Lake Michigan Beaches. They are very excited to have a lovely house of their own for renters and themselves to enjoy with their families for years to come.

Why they chose this property

Lake Michigan is one of the most pristine beaches in the United States. The proximity to Chicago makes it great location to vacation. The house is brand new and it has been well thought out. We have been vacationing for years together and we know exactly what it takes to have a perfect rental. We have put great detail in providing a home that has everything for you. We hope you enjoy our home and the Beachwalk area for your family vacation.

What makes this property unique

We have bikes for you to enjoy. Also a golf cart to take to the beach parking area. It helps with transporting all the towels, blankets and kids. The house has 2 separate areas for kids to play besides outside. The den in the living room and the basement are great areas. The basement has a gaming tables and a tv with video games.
