Enjoy an evening by the fireplace inside or at the shared fire pit outside. Stocked with games, books, and movies, the entire family will be entertained in this new gem in Lake Michigan's premier vacation resort. For larger parties, you can rent along with the adjoining Troll's Den or Valhalla, which sleep up to 6 and 11 respectively. Earning rave reviews, come check out the coolest property at the Beachwalk!

Our Beachwalk vacation

Our weekend getaway was an absolute delight at this VRBO! The home was furnished with everything we could imagine from every kitchen appliance to extra blankets and toiletries one could need. The karaoke stage in the basement was amazing and it was so fun to see how the passion for music came out in the decor. We will definitely be returning!

Perfect Gathering Spot

A group of us rented this property to celebrate a co-worker’s retirement. It was the perfect gathering spot! We walked to the beach, hung out around the fire pit, played games, and did lots of karaoke. Such an amazing weekend at a beautiful place!

Review

Great property! Fun extras in the basement for entertainment. Nice layout and decor. Floors are in need of a deep cleaning, we had lots of black feet. Other suggestion would be some new mattresses and bedding is outdated. Oh, and the oven needs cleaned as it set the smoke alarm off with every use.

Fantastic place to stay for kids/adults of all ages!

On sunny days you have the pool, beach, kayaking, bicycling, etc., and if it rains, there are movies, video games, books, pool table, karaoke, and more. Plenty of space for everyone to enjoy their separate activities, with a nice large kitchen and eating area to gather for family meals. I would highly recommend this property.

Great house!

Our family wanted a spot where we could hang out and laugh and enjoy each other’s company - this is that spot. With it being cold and snowy- I can’t comment on any outside amenities but they all looked great and as advertised. The house had tons of seating. We cooked in almost all meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. The basement was very fun and exactly as advertised. The hosts are very responsive. Highly suggest this property. Thank you!

Amazing stay guaranteed!

We rented this home for our bridal party for our wedding weekend, and it was PERFECT! The owner, Anders was extemely prompt and helpful with all questions, via text and vrbo messaging. The basement of this home is AMAZING! Very spacious for the entire bridal party, partners, and children. It's got a fun, rocker vibe - so nicely decorated. The wide open living/dining/kitchen area made it easy for all to be together whether eating, lounging, or playing games. Would recommend this home again and again!

What a beautiful well maintained property and wonderful owners to work with! They had an informative binder full of instructions for the property and local ‘to do’s’, restaurants and menus. Plenty of space, large kitchen, lovely front porch to sit on and the house was very clean and comfortable. We only stayed for the weekend but we had 3 generations of family and everyone was comfortable and had plenty of room. Everything you need was provided. Tons of board games and entertainment for all. Karaoke stage, arcade game, and pool table in the basement was a huge hit for both young and old. Everything was absolutely amazing, we enjoyed our stay and would love to return next year.
