Absolutely beautiful and stately house with plenty of room for three generations of family while celebrating a wedding. Our host/owner, Craig, was so very conscientious and courteous, sending helpful messages about the property, local eateries and activities, and nearby entertainment. The spacious patio was perfect for dining al fresco and the built-in firepit added to the beach vibe after sundown. The beach and Lake Michigan are as advertised-a very short walk to the dunes. An ideal week at the beach!

We had the best week at La Terrazza

My family and I had a wonderful stay. Craig was easy to work with and his communication was the best. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfy and the walk to the beach was so easy (even for my 82 year old mom). I highly recommend La Terrazza to any family looking to enjoy a summer in Michigan (Indiana)!!!

Huge home super close to the beach

It's rare to find a large home that can comfortably accommodate so many different couples and their children, but this one did! Loved the large back patio, two long picnic tables, and fire pit. It was a great place for all to gather and enjoy the weekend!

Great house, perfect location

La Terrazza was the perfect house for our group of 14 - the house and patio are spacious and are well stocked with everything you need to host that many people, and the beach is just steps away. Craig was kind, helpful, and super communicative - would definitely rent here again.

Friends to the Dunes

Wonderful visit to the Dunes and Lake Michigan City. The VRBO was perfect for our stay. The owners have put a lot of attention to the details to ensure your stay if a great one. Especially loved the new kitchen and the outside lounge area with the gas fire pit. Just a few short steps to the lake. Will definitely go again and stay.

Great house for a large group

My friends and I rented this house for a weekend getaway and had a blast. The kitchen area had enough seating for our large group, we enjoyed hanging around the outdoor and indoor fireplaces and the super short walk to the beach. The property manager was responsive. We would happily rent this house again in the future.

College Family Reunion

Great stay at La Terrazza! We had a large group of 14 adults and 7 children (ages 1 - 5) and it was very comfortable for all. Plenty of space on both first floor and second floor as well. Basement is recently finished with tons of storage space, kitchen and wash area. We did not need to leave the area because the beach is just a short walk away, but the local recommendations for groceries and take out were well appreciated. Looking forward to staying again in the future!

Great House for a Family Holiday

Our family of 19 people, ages 5 to 73, enjoyed our stay in Michigan City. The house had everything we needed... lots of plates, flatware and cooking stuff! Plenty of room for us to spend time together and privacy when we needed it. The homeowners were great and responsive. The house was clean and tidy! Will be going there again next year!

Home with great combination of large and small gathering places, lots of bedrooms with comfy beds, close to beach, and kitchen stocked with all types of pots, pans and dishes. Everything you need for multiple families to gather, eat, and play together. Great patio space with gas grill and fire pit. We had five families together and we all had our own space. It was perfect.
