Beachwalk Vacation Rentals Property Reviews

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 .

Rating:

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!

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.

Rating:

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!

House was very clean,we had a great time

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 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!

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.

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.

Rating:

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.

We have stayed here before and always always receive amazing customer service. Really the best of any place I have ever stayed. I am super picky on cleanliness, even some of the most expensive hotels we stay at are not that clean. Beachwalk houses are all super clean ��

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 annual trek to Baileys did not disappoint ... it was very clean, and well appointed (with some new items since our last visit - love the new TVs and occasional tables in the living area!). Communication to schedule our visit and checkin/checkout were very smooth. The resort has alot to offer with a pool, lake, fishing, and parks. Thumbs up to the additional signage and 'rules' for golf carts and vehicles; much safer when walking or driving through the resort.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bailey's Irish Cream Coach House in Michigan City. The Beachwalk community was quiet and peaceful and the short walk to the boardwalk from the house was easily doable. Our young boys loved the playground.

We had a lovely stay for our Labor Day weekend, despite the weather. The home is in a good location and an easy walk to the beach, the pool, and just for strolling in the neighborhood. We enjoyed the outdoor eating space as well as the firepit. The communications with the owner/manager were thorough with my many questions being answered in a timely manner.

We typically go to the Covered Bridge Festival as a family the weekend we stayed here. However, one of our family members, that we go with, passed away. So we needed to do something different. This was nice and close to home but far enough away to feel like we were on a mini vacation. There were 10 adults and 4 kids. Everyone had their own bed. The kitchen table was plenty big for all, especially with the little square table for the kids. Another sofa would have been nice in the family room but regardless it was fine. The arcade game kept the kids and adults amused. The room was decorated well and the kitchen was well appointed. We would definitely stay again.

We stayed in the Barbie’s Dream House with our kids and two best friends and their family. We had a great time even though we were destroyed in the community volleyball tournament. Great location for activities! I would highly recommend this house and complex. Only downside about the house is the third bedroom upstairs didn’t have access to another restroom upstairs unless you went into another bedroom. Our kids were in there so it wasn’t too bad, but they did have to come downstairs to use the restroom.

Rating:

Beach, pool, ice cream, repeat. Our family and friends were able to truly relax and let loose. The screened in porch is huge and had plenty of room for our little ones to play while the adults kicked back. The upstairs deck was surprisingly peaceful considering the house is adjacent to the shop, basketball/tennis courts and pool. (Loved that these things were nearby.) Property was clean and comfortable with a huge kitchen and dining area - more than enough room. On a more practical note, we were able to park three vehicles in front of the house.

we love our stays at Beachwalk! And have really loved staying in Barbie's Dreamhouse. We have multiple families and the Dreamhouse has accommodated us very comfortably. The location is best for having young children--close to pool and ice cream! Our only concern was the comfort of the beds. The king mattress was way too high and hard. the bunkbeds are soo squeaky they wake others up when turning over. The house would be perfect if bed situation improved!
