My family has been coming to Michigan City my entire life. This year we decided to get VRBO for the first time - rather than a hotel or staying with extended family. It was perfect for us. We had plenty of room to be together, the bedrooms were comfortable. The house was outfitted with everything we needed for our annual beach vacation. The location is great - very close to everything - much in walking distance - coffee shop, yoga studio, restaurants/bars, the outlet mall is only a few blocks away. A first floor bedroom and laundry was perfect for my parents. The kids loved having the bunk bedroom and upstairs TV room in the evenings. We would absolutely recommend this location to others.

Great, welcoming home. Perfect for my large family and two dogs. Large fenced in backyard and only 1 mile from Washington Park with the beach and zoo. Definitely recommend!

We enjoyed your home very much. We set up a net in the backyard to play badminton. We worked on crafts and made our meals most days. The only thing we were a little disappointed in was the distance to the lake. I couldn’t determine how far you were from the lake by your Vrbo post. I had thought we could walk. Other than that, all of us enjoyed the cute nautical theme of your home. Well done.

Check-in process was so easy. The house was very clean and charming, had everything you could possibly need for a vacation. Great location, it was close to the beach, museums and shopping. Had a fenced in back yard. Our family had a wonderful week in the Captains House and would definitely rent it again if we ever find our way back in Michigan City.
