Beautiful retreat for our girls weekend! Lovely host!

Had a beautiful view that was just steps off the beach. Quiet time of year so no issues with crowds. Lovely!! And Susan was helpful and responsive when we had questions.

My wife and I rented this property for a weekend getaway for our anniversary. We were so happy with the choice. The property was perfectly located on the beach. It was clean, cozy and quiet. Our host, Susan, was awesome. She was very responsive and caring. We will definitely rent this property again in the future.

This cozy house was perfect for our weekend at Indiana Dunes Park. Susan couldn't have been a better hostess. The place is a little lean on what is provided, had to do a grocery shop for coffee, shampoo and shower soap. But other than that, beautiful view, right on the beach, clean house, great shower. Everything we needed for cooking our meals. We'd love to come stay when it's warmer to enjoy the beach more.

Studio right on the beach. Perfect for 2 people. You have to go up and down 50 steps or so to get to and from your car. Some are long deck like steps and there is a handrail for most of it. So it could be challenging for anyone with mobility issues. We had a great time! We will be back. 😊

Excellent location, between both Indiana Dunes parks, & being directly on the beach. Clean & quiet, except for the sound of the lake waves:) Only drawback is the many steps from the parking to the front door, but that's how you get so close to Lake Michigan, so it's worth it!

Marvelous views of the lake from every angle! This lovely little cottage on the beach reminded me of happy days as a little one spending time with my family at our lake cottage. Heavenly.

10.0 / 10.0

We had a great time staying here for the weekend! Being right on the lake was really nice, even though we visited in the middle of winter. It was close to the Indiana Dunes National Park and State Park, which is where we spent most of our time. Grocery stores were only about ten minutes away. We would come back again!

Susan was an attentive host and the little one bedroom right on the beach was perfect. Warm and inviting, good water pressure and the sound of the waves and seeing so many stars was just fabulous.

10.0 / 10.0

This was our 2nd time staying here. There is nothing more to say than this is an awesome place to spend time with the one you love. Sitting out fron watching and listening to the waves as they come up to the beach is the most relaxing, also listing to the waves when going to sleep is very relaxing. We will defiantly be back again.

Cozy clean cabin right on the beach; Can hear the waves crashing all night long; So relaxing. We could hear people staying above us walking around but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Would stay here again.

The rental was very clean and quiet. The beach is private allowing me to enjoy quiet walks. The host was very responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this property for a single person or couple.

Susan, the property manager was great to work with. It was great waking up and looking out of the window to see the waves of Lake Michigan. It was a quaint little place. My family really enjoyed the stay. A couple things to watch out for--you have to park off site and there are not lights on the street so have your phone handy to use as a flashlight. Also, there are A LOT of steps you have to walk to get to the house. The steps are very well lit though, it just makes moving in and out a bit burdensome, especially if it's raining. Another thing to watch out for is the last flight of steps, they are taller and more narrow than the others so you really have to watch your footing. Other than those drawbacks, it was a nice place to stay. If I had to do it over, I would stay at the same place.

Friendly and responsive owner. Well-equipped, cozy and clean. Would definitely stay here again.

This little studio is a gem. Be warned, lots of stairs but worth it! Beautiful views of the lake and beach and a simple stroll to the Dunes state park. Plenty of towels and pan for cooking. A quiet little retreat.

If you want water views, cool breezes, sound of waves, and beach walking, this is the place! Expect comfortable 2 persons not luxury. No phone reception with ATnT, the wifi calling worked. Great workout exercise on walkway descending stairs from road to cottage.

We rented here as a winter getaway from Chicago, and it was wonderful! Great communication with the owners, very cute place, and stocked with everything you would need. Right on the water and you can walk on the beach to the state park! Would definitely recommend staying here, we will be back.

Wonderful little beach spot!

Wonderful little beach spot!

We love Lake Michigan and here you get a lot of it! Even if the weather is not so good, you can still enjoy the beach from the comfort of the cabin. Susan was very helpful and responsive. Stairs up and down to the cabin are difficult with bags so be prepared. Cabin itself was clean and comfortable. Really enjoyed the weekend!!

Great place to stay!!

Great place to stay!!

This place is very cute and right on the beach!! Susan was easy to get a hold of & accommodating! Just as a heads up, it is a hike getting to & from the house. Stairs, sand, more stairs & more sand. It was not fun getting suitcases & stuff up & down those! And it was cold, with strong winds off the lake in November! But other than the trek getting to & from the house— we had a great time!

We had a wonderful time on Lake Michigan! The weather was perfect and the place just as pictured and described! It was beyond expectation. --There was noise from the 4 teenagers plus mom and dad from above, so beware that is a possibility. The price helps make this tolerable and we will most certainly try to stay here again in the future.❤❤

nice studio!

nice studio!

We enjoyed our stay on Porter Beach. The studio was clean and had everything we needed. Susan was friendly and responsive. She even helped us carry our things down the steps to the house. There were some people staying upstairs and we could hear them walking around but in general it was not a problem. The photos give you a good idea what to expect. A bonus for us was a bigger beach than pictured. We wished we had better weather but were still able to hike and explore at the state park. Very relaxing time!

My husband and I really enjoyed our quick getaway to the beach, steps from the water! Beautiful views from indoors as well, which was awesome because it was a bit chilly. Susan was kind & very helpful getting us settled in.Just the atmosphere needed to relax & unwind. Walked the beach every day & visited the lighthouse at Michigan City. Gorgeous sunset. We would come back, for sure. Two things that might be helpful: 1) be prepared for the walk from the parking area & 50+ steps down to sandy trail to property (it’s the trip back up that gets ya). 2) bring binoculars! (we wished we had some.

A perfect weekend getaway! The location is great—-I found myself wishing we had booked longer to have more time enjoy the trails that are close by. Plenty of space for three of us. We are out one day and stayed in and cooked the rest of the time.

Such a cozy, lovely visit! This cottage was perfect for a weekend away with my partner. The space was very clean and the location to the beach and dunes can't be beat! We also enjoyed the fire pit and grill. Can't wait to stay again!

Long term stay

Long term stay

This place was just the getaway I needed. I travel for work so was in the area for a long period of time. Susan is very friendly and helpful, and answered all of my questions. The place is so clean and cozy and I had everything I needed for my long stay, which was nice because I didn’t have to pack pots, pans, and utensils. Laundry is close by and is cheaper than in town. Every night/day I fell asleep listening to the waves. The Indiana Dunes are just steps away so when I wasn’t working I could hike and the sunsets and night skies are beautiful. I would absolutely spend another winter here if found myself in the area.

My son and I absolutely loved our stay here AGAIN! It was our second time! There will definitely be a third. Thank you all so much, Susan and Erica!!! You guys are great! Until next time!
