Beach, Indiana Dunes, LEGOLAND, Holocaust Museum, GREAT TRIP
Nice home for our group of 6 adults and 5 children ages 15 to 3. We enjoyed the backyard fire pit for s’mores, walked to the beach every day, made 2 trips to Chicago, did the 3 dune challenge and the Diana of the Dunes Dare at the Indiana Dunes. A full week …Thank you for sharing your home

Great for families
The home was beautiful and a great space for our group of 10. There was lots of room to spread out and the kitchen was great and well stocked for lots of meals at the house. We loved how close it was to the beach and visited every day sometimes twice.

Great home base for Volleyball Tourney
Great central location for getting to the various sports complexes our kids played at. Two families (4 adults and 5 teens) for very comfortably. Lots of space to spread out and/or gather together for games. Kids loved ping pong and piano and grown ups loved the easy access to the lovely beach. Margaret was very friendly, accessible and accommodating. House was clean and beautifully decorated. We had a really nice stay.

Great getaway at Miller Beach!
From the minute we walked inside we felt right at home! It was very clean and the layout of the house is very welcoming and open. The kitchen had all the necessities to make dinner and enjoy each other with plenty of seating. The hot tub was perfect with the waterfall and lights. It was a short walk to the beach where we enjoyed the day in the sun! We will definitely rent this location again if our travels bring us back up to northern Indiana! This was a mother / daughter weekend to remember.

Lovely Miller Beach home!
This home was a five minute walk from the beach and we enjoyed amazing sunsets everyday! The layout and amenities of the home were perfect for family to meet and spend time together, both indoors and out. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in yard immensely. This is the second property that we’ve rented from this host-she’s great and very responsive.

Miller Beach
The house is in a wonderful location to the beach. It is a short walk on quiet roads to the beach. My family and my two brother's families enjoyed the week immensely. Even with the weather in the 70s, we were able to enjoy time in the water and on the beach.

As Advertised!
Everything advertised online in the description about the property is accurate. Great home for the family to spend the week. Can hang out inside or out. Walk to the beach is 5 minutes and not much beach traffic making for a relaxing experience. Will definitely look up this place again for our next trip to Lake MI.

Perfect place for a Indiana beach getaway
We really enjoyed our time at the house. We had the whole family (6 adults and 4 kids) and had plenty of space, and the multi-level was nice. We had a couple of small issues, but they were resolved quickly. The beach is super nice, not crazily crowded (even the holiday week) and as close as advertised. We easily walked down and back more than once most days. We used the deck and hot tub, too. Overall, a really positive experience!

Beautiful home & Beach!
House was exactly as described and was very clean and spacious! Great house for family time and playing games. Short walk to the beach which was very private and not many people there at all. Beach very clean! Would recommend bringing all of your groceries etc. as not many clean places in town to shop , but it worked! Took Train into Chicago for a day- very easy process and station very close to house. Definitely enjoyed our stay!

Miller Beach Get-Away
We enjoyed our time away at Miller Beach. The design of the house is lovely - very mid-century modern vibe which we liked. The ping-pong table and games were a real hit with everyone and provided some enjoyable inside time when the weather wasn't conducive to swimming. There were only 5 of us in our party but if you are coming with a larger group you might want to supplement with additional beach chairs and if you have smaller children maybe some smaller glasses for drinks as many of the glasses were pretty big. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Nice Spacious Home —super appliances!
This house is within a very short walk to the beach and easy drives to the State and National Dunes Parks. The hiking is fabulous! Beach, Dunes, forest and rare Black Oak Savana. There are not many dining choices nearby BUT the kitchen has wonderful appliances making dinners in the house fun to prepare. The local Jewel grocery has a surprising variety and quality of fresh food. Margret, the owner does a very good job responding to needs or concerns that come up. She clearly cares about the property and the VRBO guests.

Really nice property
Overall the property is beautiful with really nice decor and amenities. Beds are super comfortable and the kitchen was really well appointed. There are lots of different areas in the house to congregate which is good for a larger group or family. Our kids especially enjoyed the piano, foosball table, and ping pong table! The location 1.5 blocks from the beach is amazing. We thought there would be more going on in downtown Miller but sadly the town looks pretty burnt out. You'll have to go further afield to find some nice restaurants and shops. The property owners are very nice. That said, we had a bit of an issue with one of the toilets not functioning and the response was slow and the issue was never resolved.

Birthday Beach Getaway
We had such a great time celebrating my son’s 9th birthday! And the beach house was the icing on the cake! The home was just as described and the open floor plan invited easy commingling. The game room kept the kids off their electronics and into free play with one another. There were a few minor issues I communicated to Margaret, but they didn’t disrupt our enjoyable time. We didn’t get as much use as we wanted out of the back patio, but only because it got really dark at night and there was very little lightning outdoors. We did however make great use of the beach which was only 2 blocks away! Overall great time creating priceless memories!!!

Spacious and Fun
This property was perfect for our large group. We were a group of 4 adults and 8 children aged 5-15. The littlest two kids slept on camping mats on the floor of a parent’s room, which we knew would work well for that family. Everyone else had beds. Three full baths were wonderful for our group size, though the downstairs bath (and washing machine) only had hot water, so those showers were steaming hot. The hot tub and backyard were fun. Lots of indoor dining space between the oversized table and eat-at kitchen island, plus outdoor table on the back deck. We were delighted to discover a piano! We are a musical bunch and played it every day. Two recreation areas added to all the space: a lower level and a basement. Quiet neighborhood. Super close to the beach and dunes. We also spent a day in Chicago. Our stay was wonderful. If you want to boil a large pot of water for pasta, consider bringing your own pot, as there are only sauce pans. (We made them work!) Also, consider bringing a supply of consumable products (toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, kitchen trash bags). There were some, but not much. Walmart is only 20 min away.

Excellent rental close to beach
Great rentals start with the owner, and this is no exception. She has excellent communication, clear procedures and reasonable expectations. A lot of thoughtfulness goes into this house.....fully furnished kitchen, excellent game room that includes ping pong, lots of board games, books and tv. Excellent washer and dryer. Comfortable tv room with Foosball, kids bedroom and large bathroom complete the lowest level. Huge open kitchen/dining area on main level, and three bedrooms on the upstairs. Comfortable backyard that includes hot tub, gas grill and large sitting area. The beach is a 4 or 5 minute walk down a quiet neighborhood street. Most grocery stores and dining options are 10-15 minutes away. Indiana Dunes visitor center is 15-20 minutes away, but there are many trails closer. Lighthouse outlet shopping in Michigan City is an easy 25 minute drive. We are glad we stayed and would again!
