Cool Beach House - novo e melhorado - 3bd-2 ba

Our stay at the "Cool Beach House" was so nice! The house is just right across a quiet road from the sand path to the beach - way closer than I imagined!

The beach was clean and never busy.

The house was roomy, with so many areas to lounge, play games and watch tv. The fenced backyard was great for our dog (for the short bursts of time we could let him out in the heat) and he kept hanging around the back door to be let back out! The beds and baths were clean and comfortable; you can tell the family takes pride in their home! Marian responds quickly to questions and compiled a great "House Guide" with lots of good info!

We've stayed in multiple homes along Lake Michigan and this one is definitely a top pick!

This is our third year of renting from Marian. Love it more each time that we stay here. Beautiful evening sunsets and very friendly neighbors that made us feel so welcome. Our dogs loved the big fenced in backyard to play in. Our grandson said that it was a sad day when we had to leave the lake. There is nothing to be desired at this home. Marian is so nice and accommodating to work with. Can't wait to go back!

We visited "Cool Beach House" for the last week of the cool spring season. No swimming (too cold with a strong North wind), but lots of great walks through Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, visits to the nearby beach to watch the white breakers of Lake Michigan, and day trips into Chicago to check out the Museum of Science and Industry and the Field Museum. Ample room for two adults and four kids. Responsive help from Marian when we had questions. Loved this trip to the South Shore.

I don't even know where to begin! We were looking for a place to stay for two nights on our way from NE to NY with our family of 7. It was very last minute (we called from the road and gave only 6 hours advance notice!) Marian was so friendly and wiling to help me in my moment of desperation. Our whole family was amazed when we walked into her lovely home. We have kids ranging in age from 8 months to 11 years and this house was absolutely perfect (and clean!). The moment we walked in the door the kids went straight for the bookshelves where they found the best types of toys, very neat and organized (and easy to put back away when they were done playing). The pictures don't do this home justice. The decor was so much fun and looked like it was done by a professional. It had a fun retro feel. The whole home was so bright and airy, including the basement which was perfect for our kids! It was full of beds on wheels so they had fun pushing them all together for their movie night. We took advantage of the beach chairs and the walk to the beach couldn't have been easier. We had the entire private beach to ourselves and the kids had a blast! I enjoyed lounging in my chair and watching the fun. We enjoyed hotdogs at Depot Hot Dogs (which is surrounded by a lovely park like yard) and my husband and I enjoyed take out from the Miller Bakery Cafe. We look forward to our next stay at the Cool Beach House!

My wife, 3 children and I had a wonderful time staying at the Cool Beach House! the beach is just steps from the beach. The neighbourhood is very quiet and not touristic at all. The beach is perfect, with the skyline of Chicago within sight. The owners are very attentive and helpful. Frans, The Netherlands
