This house has everything you need for a large group. The location is awesome. We had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to stay again!

We stayed in the house early May. I think the weather was colder than average for the area. The fire pit out back was appreciated. The house was the perfect size, for our group. Overall the house was clean, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The only complaint we had was the couch in the main area is pretty worn and dirty. We covered it with blankets before sitting on it. The rug is also pretty dirty and needs replacing. It felt a little like we were ahead of the season and this house wasn’t quite ready for the season.

My graduate school friends and I wanted to do a trip, and this house was the perfect place to host! Very spacious & each bedroom had a bathroom. Great living room area to hang out with friends.

Our family enjoyed every aspect of our January vacation. We had enough space for all of us, and the teenagers even had their own separate living room. We were a short walk to Lake Michigan and not far from Michigan City. A great home, great location and weekend filled with family memories. Thanks.....

Great location for family reunions or vacations. Walking distance to a beautiful lake Michigan beach and plenty of on site amenities. Very professional and accommodating staff at the rental office. The whole complex is full of beautiful properties for rent and I'm looking forward to renting more houses in the feature.

Best house we’ve stayed at! There are 5 large bedrooms with each bedroom having their own bathroom which is huge for my family. The kitchen and living space is wide open and huge so great for large family gatherings. Highly recommend this property! Can’t wait to stay again. Already planning our next visit!

What an awesome house! I love that each room had its own bathroom. Such a great house for multiple families, so spacious. It was so nice to be close to the pool and beach. Can’t wait to return!

Great house for a couple families. Tons of room and amenities. Perfect location near the Beachwalk park/common space area. Would recommend adding screens to those that are missing so window can be opened for fresh air/breeze. Needs shades on the windows to help block that morning sun for tired kiddos. Recommend adding a golf cart to the rental, especially for that price! We will definitely be back and will rent this house again.

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.

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.

We had a great time! This house was in a great location only a block from the beach. Shopping, wineries, breweries, and even a zoo nearby! The place was very clean which was important to us.

We had a great time! Spent time at the beach, went to the zoo and took in local dining. When we weren't out an about the house came with plenty to do. TV, pool table, darts and board games for kids and adults.

We had an excellent experience at 109 California Ave. We arrived in 4 separate cars from different locations in Illinois and central Indiana and had ample parking in the driveway for each of our cars. The accommodations at this house exceeded our expectations. The living room was spacious and had cute beach decor. It’s slightly dated, but had absolutely everything we needed. The house felt welcoming and had plenty of space to accommodate our group of 10. The kitchen was huge! And had everything we needed to cook during our stay. We brought our own pots and pans and didn’t even need them. The bedrooms all had ample sleeping space, and lots of closet space, which we appreciated. And we were surprised to find not only the two full bathrooms, but a half bath as well. The balcony off of the master bedroom was a surprise! Very spacious and cute with a view. The A/C worked great, and the amenities were plentiful. Dart board, billiard table, outside seating, a fire pit, and a grill were all accessible to us. We accidentally blew a fuse while using a blow dryer during our stay, and the beachwalk staff was nice enough to send maintenance men quickly to get our power back on in the bathroom for us. The 7 minute walk to the beach was ideal! So easy to pack up some snacks and toys and walk right over. We didn’t realize while booking that we were on a private beach, it made our stay so comfortable for a long weekend! This house is centrally located in Michigan City, so it was easy to make plans for dinner or to go shopping. We even spent an afternoon at a nearby winery in Buchanan,MI. All and all it was a lovely experience for our group as we celebrated a special occasion. There are close neighbors on either side, something to be aware of depending on the reason for your stay. Beachwalk Vacations was very easy to communicate with before and during our stay. Our house was secure, clean, spacious, and made us feel right at home. Thank you so much for having us!

Great location by beach, nice walk to town, casino. Only down side was the up stairs bed rooms were fairly warm but AC worked great downstairs and the location made up for that!

Rating:

The home was exactly as expected. Very spacious and perfect for our family. So very close less than a 5 minute walk to beach. Also close to the zoo, restaurants and the dunes. Lots of games and fun activities! We had a great family vacation!

We had about 8 friends stay at 109 California over the summer and we weren't disappointed! We were about a five minute walk from the beach, but also had a spacious deck and yard. We absolutely loved our stay and would 10/10 recommend.

House is very close to beach, which was great! But very run down and in need of repair!

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.

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything looked great and we were very comfortable. We are already talking about returning. We couldn’t figure out how to use the gas grill, some instructions would be helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and cute and had everything we needed. We spent a lot of time on the screened porch and used the fire pit as well. It was a short walk to the pool, tennis courts and lake. We were a little disappointed we couldn’t rent a golf cart at first, but the walk was so close it was not a big deal at all!

House was the perfect size for our group of 7. Updated and in a great spot. Parking was a little tight but awesome home.

I rented this property over a long weekend with a group of girlfriends, although I’ve stayed in this community in the past and come back for obvious reasons. We love the quaint neighborhood, quiet mornings, convenient coffee/ice cream shop and Lake Michigan beach all less than a five minute walk away! We found a few great dinner, drink and live music options in Michigan City and New Buffalo, all a 5-15 minute drive away!

The house was cleanly and quiet, and equipped with everything we needed - kitchen supplies, beach chairs, hairdryers, etc. We’d definitely stay again!

Perfect size house for 6 people and nicely redone. It would have been helpful to have a fan in the screened in porch.

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.

We had an amazing time staying here for a family beach vacation. The kids loved the backyard zipline (as did the adults). Lots of games and puzzles in the house and tv's so that kids could enjoy their own quiet times. The only negative was the fishing area on the property was very swampy and full of mosquitos so we fished elsewhere, but that is far from the actual house so its not bothersome while staying there. We loved this place. It had everything to offer and more

We had a great time at this wonderful home over Memorial Day weekend. It was a very clean and comfortable home in a great location for us to explore Indiana Dunes and to drive to Chicago for a party on the river.

Cute home in a quiet neighborhood with plenty to do on property and nearby. Highly recommended.
