About this house rental

Our home has close beach access, recently renovated bathrooms, a huge yard with playset for kids, a large deck with firepit, and is full of charm! Located just 60 minutes from Chicago and 50 minutes from South Bend, this home is perfect for summer vacations, weekend winery tours, and Notre Dame sports weekends. A giant back yard separates you from Lake Michigan's beautiful Sheridan Beach! Relax on the large back deck, enjoy yard games, and enjoy grilling under the stars. No street for 90 feet, so you can enjoy the peace and quiet.

The home features a fully equipped kitchen, living and dining area. Wifi and streaming services are included as well as a DVD player and Amazon fire stick . Front porch, deck with sitting and dining area, and hardscape stone annex with fire pit and gas grill make for easy entertaining. A huge back yard with outdoor shower offer plenty of green space, and the beach is a just a walk over the dune! There are accessible pathways one block in each direction as well. Three bedrooms total, two with queen beds, and 4 twin/2 bunk beds. The second floor is a large loft space and can accommodate an air mattress for additional sleep space (crib available). There are two full baths, one on the first and one on the second floor. Gas grill, beach toys, beach chairs, and numerous board games are all available for use. Linens and towels included. The backyard is truly a unique place to enjoy your morning coffee or wind down after a day at the beach. Plenty of space for kids to play on the playset or play soccer in the grass. This is our vacation home and we care for it as a second home, not a "rental".

    It was a great experience for our family of 4. Comfortable beds, linens, clean towels and plenty of the things you need or want that make your stay feel like home away from home.

    Charming beach house with everything you need for a beach vacation. Plenty of kids toys,beach equipment (umbrella and chairs). Short steep climb over dunes and your at the beach. Easier access down the road another very short walk. Plenty of sleeping rooms,crib high chair and a baby gate to block toddler from going upstairs. We used the outdoor grill for most meals. Indoor stove is old and small but worked for our needs. Bathrooms small,clean and tidy with plenty of towels. Outdoor shower with hot water amazing. We used it after our full days at the beach. We enjoyed ourselves every day. It was quiet,safe and cozy. Water pump never bothered me as some reviews mentioned. The house is small and old but we felt comfortable with my family of 4 adults and 2 children. Thank you for sharing your home with us. I love Lake Michigan

    Perfect Location The location of this lovely beach house is its best feature. Steps from the beach, and only a short drive away from local attractions, shops, and restaurants. The house was beautifully decorated and gave the perfect beach vibe. The bathrooms were nicely updated, but a bit on the small side. We appreciated the soaps and shampoos that were available for us to use. The beds were very comfortable, and the linens were super-soft. The kitchen was equipped with everything, but the cooking area could use a little updating. The house was listed for 8, but may be more suitable for 4 adults and 4 children than 8 adults. We had 7 in our party, ages 15 to 59, and felt a little cramped when everyone was inside. The outside area more than made up for the space that was missing inside. Several decks with comfortable furniture, a space to grill, a fire pit, a playground area, and a well maintained lawn allowed us to enjoy wonderful evenings outside watching the sun set and connecting as a family. Everyone had a great time and I would choose this location again. Thank you!

    This house is the perfect location to enjoy the beach! We have stayed multiple times and keep returning due to the proximity of the beach! This house also has everything you could need when traveling with kids, so packing is a breeze. We stayed over the 4th and enjoyed fireworks over the lake.

    We stayed here as a family of 6 with grandma & grandpa included! So a total of 8! This was such a great location and so perfect running back and forth to the beach. It was sooooo nice to have all the beach essentials included. The outdoor space is amazing! We are outside so much! I had originally missed that there was no washer & dryer included but the host was so gracious and even offered to do some laundry for us as we were playing softball while we were there! We would love to come back!Any questions we had Aimee was super quick to reply and help out!

    This place has all the comforts of home. Very clean and cozy with a well stocked kitchen. Loved the large backyard and fire pit. So many extras for kids including many toys and the jungle gym. We contacted the host a couple of times and our questions were quickly answered. It’s a very short walk to the beach. We would love to stay here again.
