BEACHFRONT LAKE MICHIGAN w/Lookout Tower & Lake Views - Sleeps 13

Bedroom: 4 | Bathroom: 2 | Sleeps 13

When location is everything, you get everything right here when you stay "On the Beach"! Whether you are looking for a beach vacation for the whole family or a romantic beach getaway, the experience is sure to be extraordinary. Tucked into the dunes, this large beachfront property and desirable location cannot be beat. Just a short walk away from several exciting adventures, be sure to take advantage of the nearby public amenities including miles of nature and hiking trails through the Indiana Dunes National Park, along with biking trails on various turf. Seasonal water sports will keep you busy for days, from boating, jet ski and kayak rentals, to fishing charters and sunset cruises. Shopping, Casinos, unique shops and restaurants galore are just done the road.

Entering the main level, the front sitting room greets you with space to soak up the sun, enjoy a friendly game with the family or just simply relax. You will notice the perfect mix of new beach décor and the classic feel of this 1930s beachhouse house as original.

The fully stocked kitchen was designed to entertain, a chef’s paradise. Let the creativity in the kitchen expand to the farm style table in the adjacent dining room where your guests can gather together and swap stories over a home cooked meal. A place for generations to stay together, the main level features the sought after main level bedroom, complete with king bed plus, a full bath with walk in shower and detached tub to soak in which is spacious and bright. Appreciate the location as you gaze out the wall of windows in the living room, facing the lake with a breathtaking uninterrupted view.

Up a short flight of stairs leads you to the ultimate look-out room. This cozy tower space is perfect for looking out over the lake and enjoying the sounds of the beach.

Venture down to the garden level where you will find 3 spacious bedrooms and a ¾ bath. First bedroom is one the kids will adore with 4 twin beds, the next bedroom offers a plush Queen bed, and the last bedroom is the largest of them all with a Queen bed and couch, a suite of sorts.

Pack your strollers, coolers and beach gear as you are next to the easiest beach access in the area, the boardwalk to Sheridan Beach cuts through the dune making the trip to the shore a breeze, even for those in wheelchairs!

Available for the summer months to rent with a 3 night minimum. 2 night minimum outside of peak season.

Please no smoking, no pets and absolutely no parties.

Not part of the Beachwalk Resort and does not include Resort amenities.

The house was perfect for all of us, and the grandchildren had plenty of room to play. We would definitely book this location again.

Spacious, clean, and great views
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We came with the in laws and it was a very comfortable home to stay in with two sitting areas, a tv in almost every space, the bedrooms being far from the living space, and the kitchen that was very easy to use. The breathtaking views of Lake Michigan were the highlight. Our only hiccup was the WiFi, it was on and off working.

Great place for big family
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had 13 of our family members stay for 3 nights over the holidays. Everyone slept comfortably in this wonderful 1930s beach home. It had the charm of an older home, but don't think its not been tastefully updated. The kitchen and baths are very nice. The openness is also great! We could all hang out in the same front room, play games, do puzzles, read books, etc. Walks down to the beach were lovely. The wind off the lake was chilly, but if you bundled up, it was great!

The house was perfect - well stocked, great location, very clean and felt like home.The only downfall was the WiFi. I was hoping to work online a few hours a day and that was not possible because my computer OR IPad would not get online. Guests should know this beforehand. Also, we had no cell service.

Family Getaway 2023
It was a getaway before school started with my family and grandchildren!!! The home was large enough for the ten of us. The beach access was great. Even though the boardwalk was the public avenue alongside of the home, it wasn’t bothersome at all. The only disappointment was finding out that sheets were a bit sandy. Of course didn’t realize that til late when everyone was getting ready for bed so couldn’t get sheets changed. Too late to call. Next day called and taken care of with apologies. It didn’t hinder our stay whatsoever! With a Beach House expect sandy conditions🙃

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House is extremely spacious and well updated. Only missing element is exterior deck with lake view - patio seating is there but no lake view. Walkway to beach is busy but privacy has been secured with clever window frosting. Team was helpful with our access issues when door code did not work. Overall, we would definitely recommend the service received.

Fantastic House!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is fantastic for a group! It’s spacious and ideally located, with spectacular views. It was also perfect for our older parents, who stayed on the main floor without having to traverse any steps to get to and from the bedroom/restroom to the rest of the house. Besides the fantastic home, Beachwalk Vacation Rentals is a delight to book with, using a seamless process that gives you confidence in your stay.

Beautiful views
We had a nice stay. The views from the living room and the tower room were amazing and the access to the beach was also nice. There is a little noise from the walkway down to the beach but not terrible and they have done a nice job of creating some privacy on that side of the house. The house didn’t feel as clean as we would have preferred. There were bugs everywhere, both dead and alive. I am not squeamish about bugs but one of my friends who traveled with us is and was so bothered by the bugs that she chose to move upstairs and sleep on the futon. I would stay again but I wouldn’t take anyone who doesn’t like bugs!

Wonderful Friend Reunion
This property was perfect for our old friends grade school reunion. The kitchen is nicely appointed and the large kitchen table made for nice group meals. We would have appreciated a functioning grill though. The location to the beach was great! No complaints about the beds/bedrooms. The home is very nice and we enjoyed our time there very much! Other than the lack of a functioning grill, a great stay!

Great house and location
On arrival, piled dirt to be swept up, stained comforter became clean when we washed, 2 overflowing recycle bins never emptied even when requested. No written information. We thought garage was locked and inquired about grill and beach chairs, umbrella and wagon. Told us grill in unlocked garage and to rent beach equipment. Beach equipment was in the garage. Hot water heater broke no hot showers for 24 hrs. No information to us from Beach walk. I had to keep calling to get information. We didn’t how long it was going to take to fix, alternate shower facilities and a call when it was working I have rented houses for 2 - 20 days. I have never heard of a “starter kit” of toilet paper. At least give renters this information on day one. House was a perfect location and met the needs and comfort of our family. This was a vacation with way too many unnecessary bumps in the road.

The view out the large windows is beautiful. The sleeping arrangements worked perfectly for our large family and guests. I do wish we would have had access to the Beachwalk amenities (wrist bands for using pool, kayaks, etc). We did enjoy walking through beachwalk.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, beautiful house, plenty of space. Only complaint is that parking is VERY tight. We had a mid-size SUV and a full size truck and both would not fit. Beachwalk graciously offered overflow parking, so it was not an issue, just a minor inconvenience. Stayed with 9 people and had plenty of space.

Great House
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very accommodating house for the 10 of us. Ages from 14-82. Right next boardwalk to beach. Weather was great in mid July. Close to restaurants, although we ate meals at home mostly. Beautiful sunsets.There was a little confusion about parking with the neighbor as the houses share a driveway and we had 4 cars. We were not in his way, but he told us most people who rent park in the grass, which did make it much easier. But, not sure if owner really wants this.

Sisters weekend
Very nice house, plenty of room for 5 of us. Kitchen well stocked. Plenty of plates, glasses and silverware. Could use pots and pans upgrade. Also no serving utensils like tongs, large serving spoons. This is a very minor concern. Very convenient to have boardwalk to beach right next to house. Beach is great, good for rock hunting. . Beds are good, plenty of towels. Listing needs to identify that there is a gas grill that works, there are beach chairs and there is a wagon. Went markets, dunes national park ( that beach was very crowded), ate at Bartlett fish camp which was very very good. Overall great house and location.
