Cute little place to stay in with great little amenities. We loved the pinball machine and the hot tub! It was a 10 minute walk from the beach through sand. Gorgeous views all around. We were able to see the Chicago skyline from the beach and we saw a deer on our walk back to the cottage. All communication was prompt and attentive. The free soda is in the door to the right of the stairs as you are looking at the cottage. Very happy with our stay and we will be back. We had a great breakfast as the Lakeshore Cafe. It was a great trip.

Property was exactly how it was described. Check-in/out was really smooth and the host encouraged me to contact him with any issues. The location was excellent and just what we wanted-beach access!! Kayaks looked really nice, but we just chose not to use them. The hot tub was perfect and the two bikes we used worked great! The cottage worked great for the two of us and the space was well maximized. Everything worked as expected: tv, pinball machine, AC, and massage chair. We didn’t play the videogames or use the grill (which looked very nice!). The parking is tight but we drove a smaller vehicle so we had no issues. We appreciated the extra attention to details with the coffee grinder, keurig, and coffee pot along with condiment packets and basic toiletries. I forgot to pack a few items and was pleasantly surprised to find what I needed already there. I most appreciated the cleanliness of the cottage overall. Will absolutely plan on rebooking this property again.

Great little property on the beach(short walk, but only sand dunes and trees between property and the beach). We loved the hot tub and bikes available on the property. Will definitely stay there again!

Loved all the amenities, My 16 yr. old granddaughter and I celebrated her birthday here. We rode a tandem bike, paddle boarded and kayaked on Lake Michigan, played pinball, used the massage chair (great) and hot tub, popped popcorn and enjoyed free soft drinks. They even made bike helmets and lifejackets available. A tiny space with everything you need! Bigger spaces managed by the same peeps are near-by- perfect for a family vacation with grandparents in the smaller place!

Everything was well represented. Pinball machine was very fun. Didn’t try the hot tub. Lake Michigan and sand dunes were beautiful.

Really fun. Loved the pinball game

It was a nice few days with my wife. The beach was great and beautiful. It was located close to a lot of things. The bikes were old and not able to be used. The hot tube was new and clean. The parking is real tight so a small car or truck is probably a good idea. Overall it was a nice little place to stay for 2 people.

Love the hot tub and massage chair!

Hot tub was great!

Property was clean. Not really at the edge of a wilderness area but there was nice landscaping. Great walking path to beach. Surrounded by beach houses. Small space but organized well. We walked to restaurants, a great little Washington Park zoo, and Shoreline brewery. We didn't use hot tub but pinball machine and massage chair worked well. Small deck with grill but made private with plants.

Nice relaxing spot! Very clean with lots of extras. Lots of deer to watch and beautiful beach walk.

The property was perfect for our daycation. The house and lakefront were nice and clean. Property was just as descibed and communication with the host was easy.

Everything was as described. The cottage was clean and cozy, the hot tub was clean. The only thing I would warn about is the terrain is uneven, so if you have mobility concerns, you may want to take that into consideration. I do believe the host did a good job describing the area. The walk to the beach is all on sand and was a little rough on my knees. But the hot tub helped with that! We had a nice relaxing stay.

I really wanted to write a positive review as the location was perfect, unfortunately the property was in a state of disrepair and the owner was less than hospitable. We called the owner the morning prior to leaving to ensure everything was good, when we spoke at this time he did not mention anything wrong with the property and requested we call once we arrived in Michigan City. Once we arrived, he informed us that the original property had a water problem due to recent weather and he was “upgrading us to a much better room on the property”, it’s important to note he stated that he didn’t want to tell us when we called earlier because “he’s been doing this for a while and didn’t want us to cancel without seeing the upgrade.” We found this to be duplicitous and would have preferred honesty. When speaking to the owner he talked over us and we found him to be dismissive towards our concerns about switching us out in the manner he did. The upgrade was substantially larger but was not clean or safe. There were at least 3 feral cats in front of the property with random food bowls strewn about the entrance, a problem as my fiancé is severely allergic. Upon entering the property there was a pinball machine partially blocking the front door. We thought perhaps it was a temporary placement but noted there were doorstops set up to prevent damage to the door and machine, indicating it was permanent. There was a room that looked to be designed for children with bunk beds, video games…and a portable steam room. While our children were not with us we would have had a hard time allowing children to stay in a room with a steam room. There was a lovely view of lake MI from the second story patio, however, sections of the guardrail were missing with tape and plastic up. There was an inoperable hot tub on the patio with the entire back panel missing and exposed wires. Directly underneath the patio there was a dilapidated dog pen riddled with fecal matter. The hot tub we were directed to use was next to the parking lot in front of the property, we noted the cats sleeping on and around it, so we were not able to use it. The front yard was poorly lit and we had to use our phone flashlights to get up the stairs and around all the substantial clutter. We took pictures of the items in disrepair as we were concerned about future renters. The property is not maintained well and the owner is not pleasant, we do not recommend at all.

Host was great! Really clean and right on Lake Michigan beach. Cottage is nice and cozy for a relaxing time. We had a great time and if your looking for an amazing place away from the busy city life, this is the place for you. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

It was quiet and clean and very enjoyable for me and my fiance! Will be going again!

It was an amazing place! Super clean and cozy.

Arrival and check in was easy. The property has excellent proximity to the beach. It was small but that was described and was fine with us. My only issue was that there were a lot of cobwebs and spiders that I removed after we arrived. Also, some of the kitchen items (the Keurig water reservoir, silverware, dishes) were dirty. It wasn’t enough that we wouldn’t stay again or disliked the property but a few small issues.

This was a clean little place to stay. The bells and whistles for this place are in the location and access to the various pieces of outdoor equipment. For those who are looking for a place to rest after spending the day at the beach, this is for you.

Cute little spot. Bathroom is tight space.beach is amazing and super close.weird doors in ceiling creeped my gf out alot.

Tight quarters but a really fun spot, and right on the beach!

I was expecting a much smaller place with less amenities. This place has everything you could want! It is a walk up so if you don’t like stairs that would be the only drawback, but I loved it!

The location was PERFECT. Just a 5 minute walk down a sandy path to a beautiful beach and Lake Michigan! The tiny cottage was perfect for two people. The bed however is very very hard. If you’re young you’d be okay, but us older folks don’t do well on firm beds lolOther than that our weekend stay was perfect!

The place was accurately described in the listing, it is very small and cozy but easy access to the beach and we weren’t in the room much. It would have been nice for the comfy chair and massage chair to be swapped so there was a comfy place to sit while watching TV

Adorable tiny house. Perfect for a get away for 2.

Well our beach vacation was ruined because of the weather, but luckily we had a pinball machine and a hot tub to keep us busy. Everything was as described. I would only say the bathroom is very small and hard to maneuver in to get ready. We are fairly small people so if you are big and tall the bathroom may be an issue for you.

Just as advertised. It’s a small space but exactly what we needed it to be. The short walk to the beach makes this place worth every penny.

Very small accommodations, but supplied with everything you need to enjoy the beach.

Enjoyed our time there. Cottage is small, as stated, but plenty of room. We found it quite comfortable for the two of us. Plenty of extras…kayaks, bikes, etc. Mark was very helpful and informative. We booked a week in advance, just a ‘spur of the moment’ decision for a short R&R trip. Everything went smoothly.

The place was isolated for perfect privacy for a couple and was a short walk to the beach! Would be perfect for a couples getaway. The owner was accommodating and everything was as described! Soda fountain and pinball machine give it a very unique feel. Enjoyed the trip and place.

It wasn’t enough that we wouldn’t stay again or disliked the property but a few small issues.

The hosts were very communicative and gave good advice for places to check out in the area (some interesting antique shops). The rental is snug, as expected, but the amenities were pleasant and you can’t go wrong with beach access! Would recommend for others interested in checking out the area .

Perfect beach cottage for a couple; nice amenities; very short walk to Lake Michigan & beach; short drive to IN Dunes National Park; on site property manager very friendly & helpful.

Host was able to fit us in on short notice due to my car problems. A nice place for two.

Beautiful location and great access to the beach.We will come back in the summer to enjoy the beach more. Wildlife lovers will really enjoy this place. Very affordable.

Small quaint little house not too far from town or the casino. Didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub because of the weather.

Everything was as described. A cute cottage with a sandy pathway to the beach. It was perfect for what we wanted. We would certainly stay here again if we ever find ourselves in Michigan. Loved it!!!!
