About this property

Charming Beachfront Home, large backyard and deck, walk over dune to stop2 beach

Our home has close beach access, recently renovated bathrooms, a huge yard with playset for kids, a large deck with firepit, and is full of charm! Located just 60 minutes from Chicago and 50 minutes from South Bend, this home is perfect for summer vacations, weekend winery tours, and Notre Dame sports weekends. A giant back yard separates you from Lake Michigan's beautiful Sheridan Beach! Relax on the large back deck, enjoy yard games, and enjoy grilling under the stars. No street for 90 feet, so you can enjoy the peace and quiet.

The home features a fully equipped kitchen, living and dining area. Wifi and streaming services are included as well as a DVD player and Amazon fire stick . Front porch, deck with sitting and dining area, and hardscape stone annex with fire pit and gas grill make for easy entertaining. A huge back yard with outdoor shower offer plenty of green space, and the beach is a just a walk over the dune! There are accessible pathways one block in each direction as well. Three bedrooms total, two with queen beds, and 4 twin/2 bunk beds. The second floor is a large loft space and can accommodate an air mattress for additional sleep space (crib available). There are two full baths, one on the first and one on the second floor. Gas grill, beach toys, beach chairs, and numerous board games are all available for use. Linens and towels included. The backyard is truly a unique place to enjoy your morning coffee or wind down after a day at the beach. Plenty of space for kids to play on the playset or play soccer in the grass. This is our vacation home and we care for it as a second home, not a "rental".

About the host

Hosted by Aimee and Adam

Host profile image
Adam and Aimee grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and currently reside in the City's Bucktown neighborhood with their rescue lab/ pointer and toddler son. Aimee is in management for a Genetic Cancer Testing Laboratory and Adam is an entrepreneur in the promotional products and real estate space. We both love the peace and quiet of this home in both summer and winter, although we prefer flip flops over boots.

Why they chose this property

We looked at one house and this was it! The charm of the home and close proximity to restaurants and Washington Park /Zoo/Marina were so wonderful but the cherry on top was the lakefront access and the beautiful grass back yard. We have worked to update the home while keeping the historic character in tact.

What makes this property unique

This home is located on the lakefront and does not have a access from a street making peace and quiet a priority.
It has a wonderful green back yard if you just want to hang out there and enjoy the deck and a game of corn hole. The house interior is charming with archways and original fireplace and sconces. We hope you find it as restful of a haven as we do. (But we are known to dance on the lawn to loud music too).
