Great stay in Michigan City!

Stunning property that is walking distance to the lake! Perfect for hosting my family and friends for graduation weekend at Notre Dame (very simple/easy drive to campus). We really enjoyed the amenities and the check out process was very easy. The host was also very kind and responsive! Would definitely recommend this property for anyone in the Michiana area!

Perfect family spot!

Our cousin vacation couldn't be better! Royal Retreat is a super house for multiple families with a great layout of bedrooms and bathrooms and plenty of space in the basement for the kids to bunk up. Terrific common area where we could all cook and eat together, play games, and hang out. Loved the screened porch -- hot tub and grill were great and the golf cart and wagon make it easy to get to the beach. We'll be back!

Royal Retreat Cottage

Another beautiful week at the Royal Retreat cottage! The cottage was clean, in a great location and had everything we needed for a fun filled week. We all enjoyed the hot tub, pool, Lake Michigan, and the fishing. The host was very attentive when I had a question and we are planning to rent again next year! A wonderful vacation in a beautiful cottage!

Wonderful Week with Family

We had the best week at Royal Retreat! Very clean and a great layout for our extended family of 13. Wonderful location - close to the pool/playground and a short golf cart drive to the beautiful beach. The hot tub and bikes were a big hit with the kids. Definitely hope to stay again.

Beautiful home!! Such a great place to share family fun !

Excellent time! We getaway every first weekend in March. We have been doing this the past 15+ years since my mother passed. My aunt, sisters, and cousins make it an annual girls’ getaway! It is such a great time and we love reminiscing about my mom. The home was absolutely beautiful and many memories were made!!!

THE BEST!

My family of 12 have been renting vacation homes for over 20 years, and this one is hands down the best we’ve ever stayed in. Everything about the home was perfect, beautifully maintained, thoughtfully stocked, and so comfortable for our whole group. You can really tell the owners put a lot of care into every detail. The location within Beachwalk Resort was ideal, with easy access to the beach, pool, and all the fun amenities. We made so many great memories and truly didn’t want to leave. Already looking forward to coming back next year, thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Better than expected!

We were a family group, ages 1-91 and everyone was comfy and had a great time! We found it to be Exceptionally clean, fresh and well-appointed. The house is bright and cheery and the owner responded quickly to all our questions. We are already thinking about booking again. We really liked the plentiful beach towels but we do recommend bringing your own beach chairs.
