It was by far one of the best rental properties I have ever stayed at. The house was very clean, in a great and safe neighborhood and the kitchen was fully equipped with very good quality pots and pans. The host was very responsive, and she had looked at all the very little details.I will for sure stay there again and do recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at this home with my spouse and our 1-year-old. The house was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we neededincluding a few helpful touches for traveling with a toddler. The location was peaceful yet close to local shops and parks. Communication with the host was smooth and responsive. We’d definitely stay here again!

Hostess was wonderful and very responsive. We loved the fresh decor, the brand new and high quality cookware and glassware. There were plenty of "extras" left in both the kitchen and bathrooms. There were candles to light, and extra soft blankets for a night in. Location was a close drive to both the Dunes and Valpo. It was a quiet neighborhood. We had a great stay!

Thank you so much, Laura! I’m so glad you enjoyed the fresh design and all of the thoughtful extras throughout the home. We put a lot of intention into stocking Moody Modern Dunes with high-quality cookware, cozy blankets, and those little touches that make a stay feel comfortable and relaxing. Happy to hear the location made it easy to explore the Dunes and Valpo while still enjoying a quiet place to unwind at the end of the day.

Jessica has done a truly outstanding job in providing all the little things for making a great stay. The finishes, kitchen & equipment, towels & bedding and snacks/coffee/spices are all best I have seen through many short-term stays. The unit is in a very central location with access to Chesterton, Valpo, the dunes and all transportation. Thanks Jessica!

This was one of the nicest, cleanest VRBO we have stated in. Don’t let the neighborhood detour you from staying. We felt safe and slept amazing in the VERY comfy king bed !! The master shower drain wasn’t working during our stay but the owner was very responsive and apologized for the inconvenience.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and slept well in the king bed — comfort is a top priority for us! I truly appreciate your understanding about the shower drain and I'm glad I could respond quickly. It has since been addressed. You were a wonderful guest, and I’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!

This is our second time staying at this wonderful property! Jessica is the most amazing host we have ever had! She really thinks of everything and goes above and beyond! We stayed on Halloween and she had the cutest decorations inside and out AND provided candy for the kids. We also had a girls night at this location and she provided the cutest girls night activities and snacks! The beds and pillows are so soft, with big smart TV’s in 3 rooms. Did I mention there are heated floors and robes!! Truly a spa like experience and a cozy home away from home. We will be back!
