Girls weekend getaway!
We enjoyed our stay at this house! There was plenty of beds and the weather was perfect for us to have a bonfire! The wood provided was a little green but burnt well after we got the coals nice and hot. The beach was a quick walk away and a great place to relax and catch some sun. There was plenty of great beach stuff at the house but the umbrella was older and looked broken so we didn't take it. I would rent this house again! If your looking for a place that has a lot of places to eat or things to do, this isn't your area. It was fantastic for laughs and relaxation for a group of friend whom go away once a year to forget the real world for a few days.

AMAZING!
We loved the location and the environment! The secluded, wooded yard out back was so inviting, quiet, and serene. We heard birds, saw wildlife, and listened to the waves. When we were ready to go to the beach, we simply walked over to the water! We loved how close we were. It made it so easy to hop back to the house for lunch and dinner, spending the rest of our time at the beach. We felt safe the entire time, there was plenty for the kids to do, and the adults got to relax.

get away to the beach
property was very nice and as described, Quiet neighborhood and close walk to the beach. Beach was very nice. Did not expect boats to park so close to the beach- too many boats. House and location great.

Great Stay / No Issues / As Advertised
Great overall stay - the house was very clean - great inclusion of linens - comfortable beds - good inclusion of things in the Kitchen, etc. Though located in Gary, IN it felt to be in a safe area and the beach really is just a short distance away. Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to the area.

Family Getaway
This was the perfect spot for a quick family getaway! The house is a minute walk from the beach and we practically had the beach to ourselves our whole trip! The house was nice, clean, and had everything you could possibly need- towels, bedding, extra pillows and blankets, beach toys, chairs, kitchen supplies, coffee, etc. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it to others!

Weekend birthday trip
We took a weekend girls trip for my daughters birthdays and the kids all had a blast. The location was perfect to quickly get to the beach. You feel far away from the hustle and bustle but you are still close enough if you need to run and pick up supplies. Thank you for hosting us!

A pleasant stay
The house is clean and well-appointed, with plenty of parking and a very short walk to the beach. Arcade cabinet and ping-pong table were popular with the kids when the weather wasn't cooperating.
