The place was awesome! There was so many features that the pictures don’t give justice too. The openness, stereo system throughout the house, close walk to the beach, the wrap around screened in porch, everything about the place exceeded our expectations. We had a big crew there and fit everyone with no problems.

Perfect location for the pool and pier. The back patio with BBQ and fire pit are nice amenities overlooking a lovely green space. The home is large enough for 10 people with a living room large enough for all to sit and relax. The dining space is well appointed.

Our family greatly enjoyed staying at "Love Shines Here". We are planning to reserve for next summer. Many thanks to the owners!

This house worked out really well for our ladies’ retreat with a nice, big kitchen and a large gathering space in the family room. Each bedroom having its own bathroom was a nice perk, too! Even though it was a chilly November weekend, walking along the beach of Lake Michigan was a hit with our group. We had a great weekend and would love to come back again next fall...maybe when it’s a little warmer though so we can take advantage of all the great outdoor spaces!

This is a no-frills rental, but the space, bedroom layout, and location are excellent!

My eight sisters and myself rented “Love Shines Here” in mid September 2018 as a getaway time for relaxing, bonding and to have a good time. Our time there was Great!! The house was clean, especially the upstairs where all the bedrooms and bathrooms are and the kitchen, family room area. The furnishings in the bedrooms were fine and each bedroom has it’s own bath. The master bedroom is very spacious and lovely. We all loved the spacious kitchenand adjoining family room with a fireplace. The furniture in the living room
and the enclosed porch was okay and could be updated.The house is located close to the pool and a short walk to Lake Michigan. All in all our experience was wonderful, we had a Great Time and will be returning.

Our group consisted of six “mature” friends who were celebrating a significant birthday year. We chose Love Shines Here for its configuration of comfortable seating in the living room and screened porch areas. The home also accommodated us well relative to bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen and dining room was spacious and well equipped. We had some property maintenance challenges initially, and Beach Walker took care of them immediately. The maintenance crew even assisted in getting our luggage up to the second floor which was so appreciated. There was one that would have taken longer to address but did not affect us in any significant way. All in all would rent this beautiful property again.

The Beachwalk community is very nice and a great place for young families. Our 1 year old and 4 year old enjoyed riding the golf cart and the children's pool I expected more of a beach front for the small lake but there's not much there so instead we spent our beach time on Lake Michigan which was easy to get to with the golf cart. The park was fun for my 4 year old but not much for my 1 year old with no baby swing or smaller slides.

Regarding the house, it has loads of seating areas and outdoor space so several families can stay there comfortably. My only big complaint is the comfort of the beds. I stayed in the master bedroom (the room with a king size bed) and it was so hard that my neck and back were in pain the entire week. If they don't replace the mattress, I would strongly recommend bringing a foam egg carton to put on top of the mattress as I should've done after the first night. The other bedrooms felt about the same but the kids room had softer beds.

Location was great in the complex and amenities in the house were nice. The bedroom to bathroom count was great. However, the house wasn’t in the best shape. The outside was overgrown with weeds having overtaken walkways, one of the doors wouldn’t lock, light bulbs were out, one of the decks was closed because it was unsafe, the roof above the porch leaked when it rained, and the floors were filthy to the point it turned my kids feet black every time they took off their shoes. Another point that we found strange was their was only one tv in the whole house.
We had fun at this resort but this house needs some work to reach its potential.

Four families with children gathered for a week of fun. The kitchen appliances and equipment were clean and of decent quality. The porches, living and family room flowed well and worked beautifully for tv watchers, puzzle workers and chefs. the bedrooms and baths were clean and it was great to have a bathroom for every bedroom. The exterior needs some scrape and paint work. The location was near the pool, fishing pier and, although we rented a golf cart, it really wasn't crucial. Beachwalk rental office was outstanding.

Rating:

This property was perfect for our family. It is hard to find a place for our three children and their families and us. Everyone had their own room and bathroom. The amenities at the Beachwalk Resort were perfect for children of any age. The pool, pond, playground, access to Lake Michigan, were all perfect. We could not have asked for any thing else to make our get together so fun. The house had everything we needed as well as bikes and scooters for the kids to play with. There is a nice green space for them to run around too. We would definitely come back to Love Shines Here.

The stay was great. The only problem was we didn't have hot water Friday into Saturday. I called maintenance Saturday morning and they were there within 5 minutes. Tiles were loose by the stair case going upstairs. Also the lock in the master bedroom closet wouldn't turn. Also I had to call on Sunday morning to find out what I had to before checking out. I wasn't told when I checked in.

Rating:

When we arrived, the house seemed overly hot. I called the Rental office, spoke with somebody and repairmen were there in 10 minutes to fix the AC...we were impressed. We felt the house needed some further cleaning and upgrades. The master shower was lined with mold.Carpets were dirty. Hooks for towels and beach clothes should be added in upstairs bathroom. The kitchen was great and the closeness to the beach was really nice too.

Overall it was a good experience, close to the beach and minutes away from downtown Michigan city .

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.

it was good. except for a couple of issues like the lights were out in 2 bedrooms. there was no basic stuff like soaps or shampoo in the bathrooms. other than that, it was good.

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.

Rating:

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!

Rating:

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.

We loved staying at 4 My Girls. It exceeded our was spotlessly clean, had a great location and is well laid out.

4 My Girls was a great house and the location was perfect. The only two things that I wish it had was a golf cart (although we did rent one) and TVs in the bedrooms. There was only one TV for the whole house. Other than those two things, we LOVED the house.

Loved the proximity to the beach and to Washington Park beach and zoo. Outdoor amphitheatre, volleyball nets, and free splash pad for younger kids were all a hit!

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.

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.

This was the first time that our family had stayed st Beachwalk during the prime summer months and it was great! Lotsa young families enjoying the beach and pool and park. We had a great time. House was perfect size and off the Main Street so it was quiet even with all the kids around.

I live in NY and my sister lives in Wisconsin. We met up in Michigan City, Indiana with our families. Our experience with Beachwalk Rentals was PERFECT! Clean house, close to the resort amenities, and close to the beach! Loved that the rental had a large yard for the kids to play catch. Hoping to do it again next year!

The Purple House was just as it was described. It was stocked with everything we needed. There were 2 wagons which was very helpful in getting things to the beach. There was an issue with the refrigerator that was dealt with immediately by a very nice person.

Rating:

We have stayed in the Beachwalk Resort community before, so we knew what to expect. The Purple House was rather new, so everything was nice and clean and convenient. Also, since it sits on a cul d' sac, there is much less traffic than on other streets. We were able to visit, swing on the bench swing on the screened in front porch, grill on the back porch and took the little wagons to the swimming pool and beach. Everyone was friendly, but I questioned the use of golf carts by teenagers, who seemed to want to race each other. Safety is always the most important aspect, so monitoring golf carts, parking and vehicles must be a top priority. This is a great place for families to enjoy being together. Our time on the Lake Michigan beach was a real bonus.

My family had a wonderful time during Memorial Day weekend. The location was perfect with so many things for the kids to do. We spent time fishing, kayaking, swimming at the pool and the beach. If you go, make sure you rent the golf cart, we had a blast driving around after dinner and the sunsets were amazing on the beach. Great place to be with kids, if you have a toddler that isn’t ready for stairs, bring a gate.

we stayed a week at the purple house. the home and the development exceeded every expectation. we had a great time. it recharged our soul.

Rating:

We had a wonderful time at Beachwalk. We stayed at The Purple House. The house was clean and and looked nice. Every kitchen item you could need was on hand. There were also extra things in the house to make a family at home...extra towels, toys and games, etc. We thought the resort felt safe and family oriented. We rented a golf cart and enjoyed using it to go to the pool, playground and beach. It was fun even to drive around and look at all the colorful homes in Beachwalk. We didn't think Michigan City was as nice of a city as we had hoped but would still return as we had such a great time at Beachwalk. Also, the beach was clean and had great waves some of the days we were there.

This was our first time in a rental that is located offsite and we weren't sure if we'd enjoy it the same but we really did! It was nice to be in a quiet location and felt away from it all!

The house was mins away from the beach so we spent our days there enjoying the lake!

This home is a gem, and had all that we needed! It was cozy and clean and includes a firepit, grill, everything needed to feel at home.

We loved our stay and will look for this property again next time we come!

classy, well designed inside, lots of room, within minutes of beach and dunes, fantastic back yard with boardwalk to little calumet river with big salmon run, wading, fishing , boating right at your backyard in the woods. Quiet at end of private road, literally across the highway from Dunes, only about 45 minute train ride to loop.

Our stay at Sweet Pea was great! My husband and I stayed with our 3 boys ages 8,4 and 15 months over Labor Day weekend. The house was perfect for a family of our size and the park across the street was awesome for downtime between activities. We loved riding around the neighborhood in the golf cart and it made lugging items to the pool and beach a breeze. We would definitely stay again.

Sweet Pea was great; well stocked, sparkling clean. The house has 2 bedrooms with space in the loft for another person, which was great for my husband and me, daughter and husband, and grown son. There is a golf cart in their shed; it took us a while to figure out how to use the golf cart, but that was our issue!! There is a weber grill in the backyard, and a full kitchen. Beachwalk has tennis, kayaks, paddle board, swimming pool. The Beachwalk Lake Michigan Beach is beautiful, and we spent a lot of time on the beach. There were lots of small children around, and Sweet Pea is directly across from the playground. We would love to rent here again!

Rating:

Perfect family friendly home. Comfortable, warm and homey. Great location with a park right across the street. It kept our little ones occupied between beach and pool adventures. It provided everything we needed. The only suggestion might be to replace the bed on the first floor. Slightly uncomfortable. Other then that one thing, it was a home run!

Rating:

I rented this house for a large group retreat. It was the perfect way to be fully plugged in to the large group at a different house and still give our smaller group a clean, comfortable space to recharge at the end of the day.

We (15+ women) have been coming to Beachwalk 2x a year for over 15 years. We have always been pleased with the office staff and the maintenance team. I am always warmly welcomed and treated kindly on the phone whenever I need something during our stay. We will continue to return year after year until we run out of photos :)

This was our second year with All Decked Out house and third year with Beachwalk Vacation rentals in a row. We absolutely love the place, the cleanliness and details do and don't make our stay way worth. With big group we have never received any complains from the management and the check in check out process is like a breeze. Definitely recommend! For direct beach access and and beach view stay at All Decked Out.

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.
