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.
