Great Spot
The house itself was great. Nice and clean. (The inside) The outside leaves a little to be desired. The weeds around the property needs to be killed or cut. The front yard needs manicuring and weeds on the archway entering the yard needs cutting. Other than that, everything else was awesome. Just work on the outside.

Don't recommend / left a night early / lost that night's money
We pulled in to weeds. Got inside to a clean pleasant inside to realize that the thermostat was set at 72 and locked. The room with the thermostat was cool but the rest of the house felt 80. We all slept horrible because we were sweaty. I was sweaty trying to get ready. Then the 2nd night the big bed me and my husband shared the slats fell. They wouldn't stay in place so we had to sleep on a hideaway. Our whole bodies ache. Also the washer didn't work! So bad we left a night early. I told the owners and they said thanks fir future reference but never offered us anything.

Secret Oasis in Gary ??
My stay was amazing at this property. When me and my fiancé first arrived , we were coming from out of town so not very familiar with the area. I must say our expectations were low because of the drive in , you don’t really see a lot going on within the town. But once we got to the home we instantly felt like we were on a resort in a cute little beach town. The house was clean from head to toe. The back patio was the highlight of the trip. It’s some beautiful lighting the host had back there so you could step out any time of the day or night and still have the same cute environment. The house features truly two living room areas, so if you come with family it’s enough space to be together but separated if need be. The kitchen was huge!!!! Featuring so many cabinets for your own personal items to go into if you plan on cooking or hosting a dinner. It was skylight windows featured throughout the house that looked so romantic when it rain or when the sun came up or went down . Which was crazy because this trip was a combination of Mother’s Day, my first vacay as a new mother, my first vacay with my fiancé after the baby, my birthday, and anniversary lol . So this home gave family vibes when needed . It gave romantic vibes when needed && most importantly it’s so close to the beach that it feels like you’re in Cali or Florida however you’re in Gary , IN . Who knew Gary had the heat ? We will 100% be back we are already planning

Very clean, and peaceful get away. This was my second time staying here. The only thing that I do not like about the place is the over grown weeds on either side of the property. Other than that, this is the absolute ideal spot to get away from it all.
