The property is lovely, inside and out. It provide a beautiful haven of physical and emotional comfort as we attended the funeral of a dear family member. We are grateful it was available and hope to return soon to enjoy it happier circumstances.

We had a great time. So close to beach we could walk. Very nice not to worry about parking and when it got too hot, just walked back to cool off. Home is very spacious and clean. Nice neighborhood.
Tom was very helpful and great communication, we didn't need anything-all was perfect. Very responsive and informative. Outside patio was nice for relaxing and firepit was very nice, wood and roasting sticks were provided by Tom so that was really awesome!

The house was a couple minute walk from the beach and it is so private! There is no public parking so there aren't many ppl on the beach. The water was so clean and clear! The house was extremely clean, well kept, and safe. The firewood and propane are supplied. All of the linens including beach towels are provided. Tom was so incredibly kind and very attentive. We are already trying to figure out when we can go back! Flamingo pizza and sand and salsa are just a couple blocks away. We took the train into Chicago for a day and that was great! Indiana Dunes National Park west beach trails are very close to the house as well. Our dogs loved the house, the yard is very secure. Unlike some rentals there was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags! We can't wait to go back!!

This is my second year returning to the area for the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival and it was another spectacular visit!
I was so grateful for the opportunity to stay here again!
The house is clean, comfortable, and so cute! It really felt like a home away from home!
The towels are fluffy, the beds are comfortable, and there is a cozy little outdoor seating area to relax and kick back after a long day of hiking and exploring.
Its super close to the beach and the National Park and the dunes trails. When you come to visit check out places like Tiny's Coffee Bar and the Indiana Sand Dunes National Park!
I can't wait to come back again next year! I'm already planning my next trip!
