We were a party of 7, ranging from 2 to 74 - and we had a great time being together. We used the golf cart or walked to and from the beach ( a 10 minute walk at most), swam, cooked, ate, read, etc. The 2-year old loved being right next door to the playground (and the golf cart!). We took short trips to Sawyer, the Botanical Gardens, the local movie theater, and the Casino, but mostly took it VERY easy. Michigan City is easily reached from Midway Airport too. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking; the house is very clean; there are many beach towels, etc. and the house sleeps 14!
