Beachwalk Vacation Rentals Property Reviews

The home has the feeling of a lake cabin. Charming and lived in. This a great place for kids to be able to hangout inside and it is so close to the beach. The AC system is loud upstairs which is perfect because you can't hear noise from the other bedrooms. The kitchen was huge with plenty of kitchen supplies. True the furniture is a bit worn, but that's why it is great for kids. You don't have to worry about ruining pristine furniture. This was a perfect place for our family.

Very comfortable home with plenty of space for our family. Proximity to beach great, ample parking Plenty of clean towels and bed linens, good supply of dishes and pans, etc., in kitchen, lots of games and books. All very clean, however carpet looked old and stained. Lots of signs of deferred maintenance, such as broken screen door and window screen, constantly running toilet, lights turning on and off by themselves, falling dishwasher door, and so on. Would consider returning if repairs brought up to date. Found Beachwalk rep, Gabrielle, very professional and willing to help.

We loved 109 California for 2 main reasons. One was its proximity to the beach and two was the spaciousness of the house. The house looks small from the outside but had large rooms. Walking to the beach was quick and easy even for our 7and 9 year olds. We, grandparents, took our daughter, son-in-law and 3 children on this vacation and our daughter was already talking about next year on the second day we were there!

Traveled with 5 adults and 6 kids (ages 6-14) and there was a ton of room for us all. It's a nice sized house. However, there is only a small table for 6 to eat at. The kids ate outside. Also, there is limited seating in the living room. But the kids enjoyed the card table and pool table. We were bummed that the fire pit was something we couldn't use. The house needs some TLC- doors don't shut, holes in screens, etc. but it fine for us as the location made up for it. Easy walk to beach, parks, zoo or just around the neighborhood.

This was our 5th annual summer vacation in Michigan city and the second time we stayed in this property. We came back because of the good location to beach and spacious and cozy house which can comfortably fit us with 6 adults and 3 kids ranges from 2 to 6. The major complaint is that the door to the hall bathroom cannot be closed, which is very annoying. It was the same for last year and can't believe that it still has not been fixed. There was not enough sets of towels for 8 people. The kitchen supply was sparse but we were well prepared and brought our own.

Rating:

The location was perfect and right next to beach access. There was plenty of room for 10 of us. Great deck out back and grill. Nice to have off street parking. Overall a great experience.

We had a great reunion of friends at this beach house! The property comfortably slept 12 people, it was clean and well maintained. The home was more spacious than the pictures showed and the back porch and parking areas were also larger than expected. We enjoyed using the pool table and bar, playing cards in the dining room, and having meals on the back porch. The property is very close to the beach which is where we spent most of our time. There is grocery store - Al's - just a few minutes away. Make sure to bring any condiments, coffee filters, etc since there were none at the property. I would stay here again and recommend this property. My only regret was not having a longer stay. Next time!

The house was nice for the size of our family. We liked that we could walk to the beach, park, zoo, and a few other places. Though over all the cleanness was okay but I thought it could have been better. The beds and furniture were great and very comfy.

We had a great 4 days in Michigan City over the New Year holiday. The game room was a definite plus. Access to the beach (cold and windy!) was very easy. The only problem was we could not figure out how to use the gas fireplace

Pictures do not do this place justice. It is larger than the pictures make it appear. Very Pleased.

My sisters and I came from all parts of the U.S. To rent this house for vacation with our families and we all agreed that we loved the house and def the location literally steps from the beautiful beach and close to outlet mall grocery store etc... Everything was just a mile or two away.. We had a great time our only complaint would be that in the pics of the rental there is a fire pit on the lower deck which was attractive to us to have and sit long nights by the fire and chat being that we don't get to see each other a lot but once we got there it became clear to us that we weren't aloud to use as per the owner of the house so that was pretty disappointing other than that would def recommend this house to rent !!!

Great vacation home. We had 12 women in our group and had plenty of room.

All Decked Out is a good fit for our family of 18 people. Large gathering area is great! Kitchen is well-equipped for a large family. Good location. Limited updating of master bedroom curtain would help. Deck off master bedroom gives excellent view of Lake Michigan, as does the third floor deck. We will rent this house for the fifth time next July.

We stay here 2x a year and will continue to come back. The maintenance staff is always accommodating - they set up tables and lighting for us. The office staff is on top of things as well. They are just a short walk or a phone call away. Can't wait til the next visit!

Our favorite scrapbooking house has always been All Decked Out. We hadn't been able to use it the past 2 yrs and it felt good to be back. The open concept kitchen, dining, living room is the perfect setup for us. We noticed the new upgrades making our stay even more comfortable. I booked mostly with Julia but all office staff was great to work with. Jude did our setup and it worked great. We're hoping to stay here again in the fall.

I have been coming to Beachwalk for 10+ years with a scrapbooking group. I always have to call the office at some point in my stay whether I need help with how to work the TV, a lightbulb went out, etc. The office staff is always friendly and helpful. The maintenance crew is quick and accommodating as well. We will keep coming back.

Everything was perfect! Room enough for our large family with beds to spare. The best thing was the big open room where we could all congregate. We will be renting this property again!

Service was excellent. Whenever a minor 'glitch' occurred there was very rapid and attentive reply

Our family vacation was enjoyable. It was our fifth vacation at the Beachwalk Resort and our third stay in All Decked Out. The only negatives were the off and on internet and the lake on the property which our family members thought should be cleaned.

I wish I could have captured the faces of our family members as they first walked in to All Decked Out and realized it would be their home away from home for a week. Big eyes. Jaws dropped. Enormous smiles. The location of All Decked Out in the Beachwalk Resort is unbeatable. It is one of the closest houses to Lake Michigan. The layout of the house is ideal for large groups of all ages. The internal elevator made it possible for the "stair challenged" to make it to the top floors to enjoy the perfect views of Lake Michigan. We were never at a loss for wonderful activities to enjoy at the home and in the area (beach, lake, fishing, kayaking, outlet mall, art museum, biking, Indiana Dunes, to name a few). All Decked Out and Beachwalk Resort provided a memorable experience for all.

We come 2x a year to Beachwalk and always stay at All Decked Out. The office staff and Chris the maintenance guy are always very accommodating and take care of issues quickly. We needed a light bulb replaced and he was at the house in 30 minutes of my call. We had 18 people and several ran or walked the beach and went to the outlet mall and church. Great place, great location, etc

we have been coming for many years. This was our best time.

Great house for multigenerational family vacation. No elevator for renters so be prepared for lots of stairs. Stunning sunsets though,

July 4-11,2015 Exciting, crowded time to be at Beachwalk Resort over the holiday weekend. During the week quiet and comfortable. Great beach! Sort of challenging for grandparents to get to and from. It got easier as week went along.
Elevator turned off. Didn't get in our way. All 21 had beds. Had to rent two rollaways, reasonable.
Loved the decks in evening at sunset time. Great at mealtime also.
Kitchen well equipped. Dryer didn't dry beachtowels or bath towels thoroughly. Two burned out lights in kitchen and over d.r. table. Just annoying, no big deal.
House is beautifully furnished, maintained and appointed. Lots of TV's.
Hope to go back.

We loved staying at Cricket's Corner. Very nice and clean property. The furniture and decor was mostly new. A few too many pieces of furniture in the small space though. Having a bathroom on both floors was great! The grill and gas fire pit were brand new. Our only complaint is the lack of food storage. There is no pantry. That was fairly annoying. Otherwise, love the house!

We were looking for a last minute weekend getaway for two families totaling 10 people, not too far from Chicago. I had been eyeing Beachwalk for a few years but never made a reservation. We were able to get two houses with facing porches (Crickets Corner and Beachy Keen) which was the perfect set up. I was pleased that we could reserve for just a weekend, when many places in IN/MI require a week's stay in the summer. The house was very nicely decorated, very cottagey and cute. (Only complaint is the master bedroom hard and uncomfortable with terrible sheets, I nearly slept on the couch...please replace this :) We had a fire pit and grill and a cute wagon to wheel our beach gear to the beach. I thought the location of the house was perfect...a little off the "main drag" by the pool but a short walk to everything. We had a little fountain pond right in front of the house. The resort itself was beyond cute. I loved the natural plantings..you really feel like you are in the Hamptons or some beautiful beach town on the Florida coast. Golf carts were the main mode of transportation to the beach and around the resort. Unlimited paddle boarding and kayaking on the beautiful interior lake was a game changer. And the fishing pier?? Our kids caught fish after fish, and they were big ones. The pool, the tennis and basketball court, the cute coffee shop with the very friendly lady doling out our daily caffeine...these were all highlights. The beach was beautiful. This place is really well thought out. Plus, we got here in under 90 minutes. We are most definitely coming back. It was much better than I expected it to be.

We had a great weekend. The 2 keys for the unit were hard to work. I would also suggest a full length mirror on the back of one of the doors.

Our overall experience was excellent! One note, the master bed is full sized, not queen as listed. The mattresses were not terribly comfortable and the sheets were rough and scratchy. Everything else, however, was perfect. We will be back.

The house was amazing! Perfect for 2 families. We stayed for a short weekend and the staff was very accomadating! It was clean and had so many great amenities! The grill was awesome as well as the full kitchen stocked with everything you need. The walk to the beach was only 5 minutes. I would recommend this to everyone!

Had a very fine time at crickets corner. It was perfect for 4 adults and one child. We had friends in 2 other houses ,we were all there to celebrate a birthday. Close proximity was a plus.

We rented "As You Wish" for a few days with 8 family members, including 2 young ones. We absolutely loved it! I would recommend this place to anyone. We already decided that we will for sure be returning next year!

This was our 2nd year at Beachwalk in the As You Wish property, and we we had an absolutely wonderful time! We love the location of this property and the large screened-in porch is one of our favorite features. We love to cook, and some of the kitchen items are less than ideal (knives, cutting boards, pots and pans), and we wish there was a better outdoor eating area besides the small picnic table. Another awesome family vacation!!!

Couldn't figure out how to regulate the thermostat. Froze 2 nights (55 degrees) and roasted 2 nights (70+ degrees). Couldn't find any instructions for it and didn't know who to call.

We have stayed at BeachWalk several times before. This time the atmosphere seemed much more Party like and there seemed to be alot of drinking in the public areas. We will probably never stay over a holiday weekend again. There was no pool attendant except for the early morning hours. The house seemed partially cleaned. The floors were extremely dirty. We all had black feet the first night and I had to mop over the floors twice and that helped. There were several lights that were burnt out too. The large master suite, large wrap around porch and the granite kitchen were huge positives.

Spent another week this year at As You Wish with kids and grandkids. Lots for all to do. Some love the beach, some love the pool, others just sit on the expansive screen porch and relax. We used the parks, fished, kayaking and paddle boarding, took long walks and bike rides. Kitchen missing a cork screw - be sure to bring your own. But stores are close by to pick up anything needed.

We had a wonderful week in Beachwalk! Great location, perfect sized home for two families with kids. We loved the neighborhood and the beach was absolutely gorgeous! Our only complaints were with the kitchen supplies...better cutting boards and knives are a neccesity.

Barbie Dream House was awesome - good location, clean and well stock with kitchen items, gas grill, etc.

This house is terrific. The location is perfect - so close to the pool and not far from the beach. It accomodated our family of 7 perfectly. My only suggestions would be to have TV's in all upstairs bedrooms and hand held shower heads as well as regular shower heads in each bathroom.

We have rented for three years in a row for All the Kobilcas in the USA that can make it. We have averaged approx.,40 in and out over the years. We rent two houses and one family member owns one. Great

We would highly recommend this rental. The house is incredible and very modern inside. Every room was really clean and both upper and lower decks that are the length of the house are a bonus. The location is in the heart of of the beachwalk community, and we will be renting this house again next summer.

I was born and raised in MC along with my sisters. Two of us live out of town and my dad passed so we were looking for a place to hold the whole family! We celebrated my dad with being able to enjoy the lake and eat together. Accommodations were great! Kitchen is well stocked, both the decks are amazing! We had 11 adults and 3 kids, each had their own bed! Yes highly recommend. We walked to the lighthouse 2 of the three days and walked the beach a few more times. The management team were awesome! Odessa went above and beyond!

we had an excellent stay at beachball (and the resort). the sleeping arrangements worked out well for our family, 3 families with kids, and another couple (14 total which includes 2 babies in pack n plays). the kitchen was well stocked, and the table was great for gathering everyone easily. the porch off the living room/kitchen was awesome, it was great for morning coffee or dinners overlooking lake kai. we loved the lower level for late nights once the kids went to bed, you can't hear anything going on down there even on the main level! the couches are white so they looked a little dingy with stains, but otherwise everything else was good. i would have liked more towels.

the property was about a 10ish minute walk down to lake michigan which was gorgeous. the pool was clean and nice; would have liked to see more umbrellas for more shade (it was HOT!). the ice cream store was closed each time we tried to go. (sad) the bikes we rented were great!

overall an excellent stay (37 family members in 4 different houses, all great). we didn't leave the resort other than going to al's market (good selections and close!). can't wait to come back again!

Rating:

Very nice cottage. Could use some new furniture. Some of the furniture was a bit soiled. Great size for 12 people and very homey. Would stay again. The whole beach walk community very nice. The pool was great. The paddle boards and paddles could also use revamping, a bit old and not as functional as they could be if newer.
