Beachwalk Vacation Rentals Property Reviews

We had a very pleasant experience. The house was well suited for the number and wide age range of our family members. The beach was conveniently close and within walking distance.

This home was perfect for our group of 10! Yes there were somethings about the house that needed attention but nothing that affected our stay. Its an older home. The location was perfect.

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

Rating:

We had a wonderful experience in house. The house was furnished well and was very comfortable. We appreciated the use of the beach chairs as well. The kitchen needs one cupboard that could be dedicated for for food that the renters buy. We had no place to put our food except on the counters. We loved the house and hope to rent again in the future.

This was a great rental for our family! It was night to have 3 distinct spaces. Everything was very clean and Beechwalk Rentals were so wonderful to deal with! Very easy walk to the beach! Highly recommend!

A group of 16 stayed here for a weekend and enjoyed our time. It is a very short walk to the beach, some rolling coolers were provided. The kitchen also has most of the essentials (just bring your own coffee filters!). The oven downstairs didn't work for us (I notified the rental company and they said they would fix it immediately), but fortunately there are two more upstairs. The beds were comfortable, and the whole house was very clean. I would definitely stay here again.

The home was nice and roomy however, oven on main door didn’t work. The family consensus was everyone liked being more together. While the apartment style was great, we prefer a more open floor plan. Our beach house last summer had a patio for lounging in the evening n this property had no outdoor seating and too close to a very busy road.

I am reviewing this vacation rental based on questions asked.
Overall Satisfied?- Yes- satisfied with our stay, we would stay here again.

Property's general condition? Furniture and bedding all clean, abundance of towels, bedding and pillows- we used all the sofa beds. The oven on the 1st floor did not work and the refrigerator on the first floor leaked and we had to have 2 bowls inside to catch water or it made a mess- we did advise them of this during the stay and no one came to check and we advised again when we left. It was not a deal breaker as we were able to use the ovens in the other kitchens.

Property Location? We were very pleased. Its a very short walk less than 5 minutes to beach. We were not told ahead of time that this location is NOT included in the "Beachwalk Resort" therefore none of those amenities are available to use- FYI it did not affect our stay in anyway, just mentioning this. I did like that this house offered the "short-stay" option as we were there only Thursday-Sunday.

The Beachwalk Staff was friendly and we had some great conversations with them and they offered us lots of options to think about for next year.

Yes- we would recommend this property and we would definitely stay here again. We found the neighbors who lived in the surrounding houses friendly.

Though we've rented several different beach houses in several different Indiana and Southern Michigan locations, we have only rented one house within Beachwalk proper, and now 510 Lakeshore, outside of Beachwalk proper. It looked very good online and the reality matched for the most part. I believe we were only the 2nd renters so far so it was all spiffy clean and neat -- a great perk! Lack of outside space was a challenge for our family of 6 adults and 6 kids (ages 6-15) on the one day it rained, but the nice division of space within the house worked very well for our 3 families. Unit A had a refrigerator drip (which we reported), Unit B cable box was out of order, and ALL UNITS had no kitchen towels (which was annoying but not a deal breaker). The paper towels furnished were beyond cheap and pathetic, though, and should definitely be upgraded! Though our future preference will be with a house with more outside space than 510 Lakeshore has, we will always consider renting through Beachwalk. Oh, and Jude the Maintenance man, was helpful and professional and a great asset to the company.

Very beautiful, spacious and luxurious family get-together Lake House. Views of Lake Michigan & beach (across the street) can be see from multiple furnished decks. There is a third floor with an additional kitchen and sleeping areas for parents with little ones! Great room downstairs to accommodate all eighteen guests with dining areas as well as TV and game room.

The house was clean and beautiful, with a superb location near the beach. We had a group of 10 adults and 5 children and enjoyed our time there so much.

This was our second year at Beachwalk and it couldn't have been better. The family reunion was a blast. Each staff person we encountered seemed to truly enjoy their work. They made our stay more enjoyable by their helpfulness. Shout out to the property manager and Jude. Thank You.

This home was just the home we needed for our family to enjoy spending time together. It was an easy walk to the beach and the pool was nearby as well. We had plenty of space to eat together in the house and play games. Plenty of beds for everyone to sleep comfortably.
We highly recommend this home.

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 loved this vacation rental community. It was so cute and family friendly. It is within walking distance to a beautiful beach on Lake Michigan. This house was perfect for our family of four. We will definitely return to Beachwalk.

We stayed here in July 2018 and it was wonderful! 2 families each with 2 kids. One set if parents ended up sleeping in the same room with the kids, but it was expected. The location is great- we debated on a golf cart and in the end did not spend the extra $375- we were so close to beach entrance. Dragging stuff down the hill to the beach was a bit of a pain, but worth it. The beach was never overcrowded and the water was great. There is a great sandbar the kids would swim to and play on. If it looked like rain, we opted for the pool and were 3 minutes from the house. Had ice cream from the little shop every day!

Too short - only issues were both propane tanks emptied on the last night - we couldn’t get the Direct TV now to log in - and we were very disappointed to see the condition of the basketball seems like they haven’t been replaced in 10 years...our kids were excited to shoot some hoops but by the looks of it, it wasn’t worth going over there.

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.

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.
