Very beautiful house. Just enough space for everyone to spread out. The walk to the beach was a little hike, but the beach felt private and was well worth it.

We had a great experience at the lake house. Everything was in great condition with all the amenities we could have asked for. Plenty of space and plenty of rooms for family of 12. The master bedroom was absolutely breathtaking. The host company was very responsive and help to make our stay comfortable. Would highly recommend!

Great Stay

Had a wonderful time with family just cooking and hanging out in this beautiful home! Hot tub was a nice spot at the end of the day. Great access to all the sand dune trails. Plenty of room for everyone in our group.

Excellent stay

We had a great week at the Miller Beach house. It was spacious and very well equipped with everything our large family needed. Our only disappointment was the distance to walk to the beach, but the uncrowded beach was worth the hike.

This home was great for our group of 19.

Hilary thought of everything, with plenty of dishes, coffee, games and puzzles, movies, bedding, towels, basic toiletries. It was so nice to just show up and enjoy spending time with our extended family. This home was better than we expected and we can't wait to stay again!

When we travel as a family, we only stay in vacation rental homes for so many reasons, one of which is to see what our competitors are doing and make sure we stay several steps ahead. We try to offer everything imaginable to make your stay with us perfect. Leave your worries behind, enjoy family and friends, and hit the beach! We look forward to seeing you again this Spring.

Great house, great location to the beach. Very close to the Dunes.

Liked the house, liked the location. Checked in on Sunday but on Tuesday the hot water heater failed. We didn't have hot water to do dishes or shower for the rest of our stay. Manager was great to work with and found a Vrbo house across the road to take showers. However, we still enjoyed the stay.

Volleyball trip

I brought my volleyball team to stay here for three days while we played in La Porte. The house was amazing! There was room for all of us to sleep comfortably. We had pme ty of space to gather and eat together. The hot tub and deck was a huge hit. The access to the beach was stellar. The communication with the property owners was open and easy. I wish i coupd give this place 10 stars instead of 5!

Amenities, amenities, amenities! This home has all of the things you could possibly want available to you: all the things you DON’T need to drag from home. Beach, chairs, beach towels, games, books, clean bedding, blankets, and pillows, kitchen, appliances, dishes, pots, and pans, utensils, grill, dish, soap, hand soap, shampoo, and conditioner, dish soap, dishwashing pods, trash bags and more!! Every room has its own air air-conditioning temperature unit plus tornado high-end fans. We never ran out of hot water in the showers (huge plus!) The host was very responsive to any of our questions and needs. Ie: The blender was missing the pitcher, and the host immediately replaced it with a high end Ninja. The sandy path down to Lake Michigan is nice & easy for most. It’s not appropriate for anyone that’s handicapped or has difficulty walking. If you’re not comfortable walking on the sand, you can always take the road around down to the beach, which is fully paved. There were a few very minor things in slight disrepair, but honestly nothing major or that spoiled the trip for us in any way. We're an extended family of 13 & all found spaces to feel comfortable and happy in. We rented both the Elyon and Coach house. Be advised that inhabitants of the Coach House will need to walk through a bedroom to get to their rooms. You can also enter the coach house from the outside, but since we’re all family, this was not something that bothered us. Rent it!!

Loved by all

The house was beautiful! I rented it for 25 people to surprise my husband for his 30th birthday. It was rented for the weekend and everything was spectacular. The house was incredibly clean when we got there & they were nice enough to set up the volleyball net for the unseasonably warm weather. There was tons of space for everyone. Everyone had such a great time. Thank you so much for letting us rent your home for a few days!

Melissa: Glad to hear that everything was perfect for husband's 30th birthday party! We always try to go the extra distance to ensure that our guests are very pleased and have a memorable experience. Normally, we only put the professional sand volleyball court net and boundary markers, etc. up when the overnight lows are higher than 55 degree (i.e., Peak Season), but we were happy to accommodate your request due to unseasonable warm weather in February. Hope to see you soon at the Miller Beach Dream Retreat! Jim

Two brother and sister reunion with kids and some grandkids at the beach.

Beautiful Lake Michigan Beach Home well-appointed and located with a short pathway to a gorgeous white sandy beach of Lake Michigan with a view of the Chicago skyline across the lake. Large, comfortable, well-equipped home. Room for all ages with a kitchen made for a chef. A few of the showers were difficult to operate but in all, this home is well worth the price. Thank you for helping our family make memories that will last a lifetime

Property is a nice location for going to lake michigan. aero beds need replaced. Pull out beds need replaced. House and bathtubs were not very clean. house is not set up to actually sleep 27. We had a great time, but I would definitely consider other homes over this one for my next get away. especially for the price.

Stunning property along a beautiful dune ecosystem

We all just loved it here, all the beds are very comfortable, everything is in good working order. Communication with managers was prompt and easy. We would have appreciated an orientation book, to minimize hunting for first aid kit; we didn't find it until the end of the last day. There is one or two bathrooms that have no towel racks, so door nobs had to do. We also thought the check in early and check out late fees were way too high. Also it is very important to make sure you obey the strict parking rules, since street parking his forbidden. Understood! We'll most likely stay here again for sure.

Wonderful time

Property was as reported. One both room was out of order. Second one had trouble with the sink not draining. Host was notified. Individual appeared and, after trying a quick fix, made arrangements to return the following day. He did do and made the appropriate repairs. When texts were sent to the host, responses were quick and appropriate.
