Weekend at the Dunes
This property is great! Beautiful inside and out. The only thing the group recommended was including that the shower is on the second floor:)

Cozy abode
The check in process and communication with the host was effortless. The house was very clean and tidy and well equipped however no bathroom for the basement bedroom. No shower on main floor.

Quirky and comfortable
This charming older house is not far from the Indiana Dunes parks and just a couple of blocks from an excellent Italian restaurant (Lucrezia) and its shop. If you wish to cook, the kitchen is well equipped. The beds are comfortable. For us, the best part of the house was the back yard, delightfully shaded by a couple of beautiful old trees and equipped with a substantial table and chairs where we ate both breakfast and dinner and hung out until dark. Because of the house's age, the stairs to the upstairs bedroom and the basement are steep so people who are unsteady on their feet might want to stay on the main floor.

Family Vacation
Great location! Close to parks. Lots of games and activities for evenings and rainy days. Many more amenities than we expected. Bunk room is the only bedroom in the basement and there is only one bathroom shower (located in 2nd floor bath). Overall a good setup for a large group.

Great place to stay!
The house and yard very spacious. They had everything you need for cooking. The ping pong table is always a must when we rent. They had a lot of games for indoors and out. Close to the beaches. One beach had handicap access which was helpful. The management team was easy to get ahold of and very quick to respond.

Family beach vacation
The house was clean, well stocked and very organized. The location was great for going to the beach at Indiana Dunes State park. A nice touch was the soaps, shampoo, conditioner and lavender bath salts in each bathroom. We really enjoyed the ping pong table and games and the back yard area was very relaxing.. We enjoyed our stay and it was a great place for our short family beach vacation.
