Beachwalk Vacation Rentals Property Reviews

Rating:

This is the second time our family stayed at this house. It is a great house for a family. Very spacious. The bedrooms were updated since our first visit as well as an additional bedroom added on first floor. Large kitchen well stocked with anything you might need to cook with. Backyard had a grill as well as a new fire pit. Backyard looks out on large grassy area for additional play space. Resort offers nice pool, lake with paddle boards and kayaks. Fishing area and ice cream shop. This house is close to pool and not far from boardwalk to Lake Michigan. Would definitely recommend this house and plan to stay there again.

First time at Beachwalk and 04 Seasons did not disappoint. We loved the layout of the home with lots of space for two families to spread out. Every bedroom had a their own full bathroom which was fantastic. It easily has one of the biggest kitchens in Beachwalk with plenty of room to prepare meals. The wrap around porch and front patio allowed for the kids to have their area and the adults to hang out in another and the fire pit was a wonderful addition for cooler nights. There is a weekly concert in the park across the street and we really enjoyed the green space and privacy for the kids during the day. The garage is well equiped with an extra fridge and all kinds of beach toys, coolers, wagons, bikes, etc. The washer and dryer are new and worked great! The owners were very responsive when the WiFi went out as well. The location can not be beat. We felt no need for a golf cart as we were two blocks to the pool, lake, ice cream shop, etc. The walk to the beach was 5 minutes and the perfect scenic route for taking in this adorable community. Would stay here again!

The house is very spacious and accommodating with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen is big with lots of counterspace for preparing meals. Nice back patio with table and chairs and a grill for outdoor cooking. Comes with a washer & dryer as well for longer stays. Walkable to both the beach and the pool which is very convenient. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

This property is absolutely amazing! Every bedroom has a bathroom upstairs which is huge for our family. It’s kid friendly and located just steps from the pool and a cute little park area just across from the house. Highly recommend this house wether for a family getaway or weekend with friends. This house did not disappoint. Also, meant to mention the awesome wrap around screened in porch that overlooked a lovely pond. Can’t wait to stay again!

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:

Great place! Could use some updates, but we really had no other complaints. The location was perfect for the beach and many things to do in town.

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:

House is in a great location in Beachwalk. Clean and well kept. Back porch a little less so. Note that if you plan for people go sleep/stay in the upstairs loft it will be LOUD as there are no doors there and noise travels everywhere in the house.

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.

A Wine Down is a wonderful house with great decor and amenities. The kitchen is very well stocked with cooking needs. The beds are very comfortable as well. The use of the paddle boards and kayaks was awesome. Just make sure to sign up in the morning so you get a time. The pool was never overcrowded and the snack shack was very handy (and had very friendly staff)! I would highly recommend this rental. The staff in the office was also very helpful and friendly.

We loved our stay at Beachwalk Resort! Our stay at A Wine Down was perfect for our family. We had plenty of room and all that we needed. Everything was within walking distance, including the boardwalk over to Lake Michigan. We did spend a day at Indiana Dunes State Park. We love the Dunes. It’s about a 20 minute drive from the resort. We got take out at Cool Runnings, a Jamaican restaurant. We loved it! Michigan City is a beautiful location on Lake Michigan and we hope to return for a stay at Beachwalk Resort in the future!

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.

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.

We loved the blue "creek" house as my kiddos call it. The home is charming and extremely clean, it is set in a wooded area with access to a waterway/creek bed. I think we might have been the first renters as all furniture and appliances appeared to be brand new. Our family enjoyed grilling out and having campfires every night. The management team was wonderful to work with, and they even topped it off by having a coloring book and crayons for our kiddos. This house has thought of everything, even down to the flashlights and s'mores sticks. The Dune's National Park is a very short drive away so plan ahead with towels, toys, and the house even came with a pass to enter the park. We made some amazing family memories at this home!

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!
