  • Do you ever just want to sit and listen to the waves lap against the shore? I took this photo way back in February while I was visiting family in southern Michigan. I finally got around to editing it and I tried something new while editing it. I'm super happy with how it turned out! #puremichigan #springfun

Beautiful second trip to Michigan City

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I love the Beachwalk village. It’s so cute and feels like you’re in a movie. This is the second time we’ve stayed and we love the little upstairs apartment perfect for the two of us. The ladies in the office were also very sweet and helpful.

I’d come back

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Dingy. It was a perfect location across the street from the pool, beach, and clubhouse. The complex and community was also very nice and maintained. Staff was always friendly and willing to help/ answer any questions we had. It had a washer/dryer and kitchenware. The kitchen equipment was pretty bare but enough to get by and cook. It was super easy to check in and the instructions for the unit were very clear and appropriate. We came right after the busy season right before Labor Day and it seemed very laid back, plenty of space to enjoy the clubhouse and pool, I don’t know what the busy season would look like though. It is also a quick walk to the beach which was also very spacious. The only downside was the floors of our unit. The tile floors were very very dirty, if you walked around barefoot for 3 minutes the bottom of your feet looked like you were trying to get your footprint ink stamp like a baby. I understand it is a beach destination and the floors are bound to be somewhat dirty with sand but I seriously couldn’t walk around barefoot because I didn’t want to track that dirty mess to our bed. In the middle of the night I didn’t even go to the bathroom barefoot because I didn’t want to track that back into bed. Other than the floors everything was good, I would definitely come back again.

Dinghy

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time renting at BW. Good location for families. Our unit’s beach chairs (2) were the same as last year when I had reported that one of them is totally broken and can’t be used. I had hoped it would have been replaced, but it wasn’t. The shower head is unadjustable so if you turn the shower on while standing outside the shower be prepared to get soaked and the door drenched. I would also like to know if there is a quiet interval for the site. We had kids outside playing (screaming, crying, playing pickleball) before 8am.

Beachwalk Dinghy Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Beachwalk. Dinghy worked well for us, but the furnishings were tired and in needed of upgrading. Previous reviews noted the same concerns a year ago, but were not addressed. Sofa and shades were in need of replacement. Also, there is an ant problem in the bathroom.

Cute

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Dinghy is fairly clean and very comfortable. Three suggestions: 1)More hangers in the closet (there was only one) 2)It needs a bedside table lamp 3)Beachwalk needs to enforce their "no noise after 10 pm" policy

Anniversary getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in Dinghy. It was clean and the pictures were accurate. Felt the written description was a little misleading. It first states "Indoor Gathering Space" and describes the kitchen and living area. It then lists "Outdoor Gathering Space" which I interpreted as a description of the balcony in the unit itself. Upon re-reading it following our stay, it seems to be describing the area at the Clubhouse but that was not clear. I wasn't expecting a "balcony" that really doesn't accommodate any seating and looks into the alley over the trash and recycling receptacles. (Official listing states "OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACE: Sit out on the second level balcony and enjoy the sounds of the lake as the waves meet the shore, the kids at play and the boats as they cruise the coast. Pull up a chair and enjoy a front row seat to the beautiful sun sets that sink just past the Chicago Skyline.")I should have read more closely and looked more intently at the pictures as the tiny balcony is shown, I just didn't see it.When we have stayed at similar facilities, they have included basic items such as shampoo/conditioner, coffee, blow dryer and a few niceties. Some of these items would have been a nice touch. However, unit was clean, nice location, check-in was easy, staff was nice and all went smoothly.

Great location but not up to snuff

Rotten front door would not lock. Smelled like mold, air filter in ceiling was black. Weak or no signal for pixelating television. BW rental help says the owner knows all these things. I should be entitled to a partial refund. Vrbo should make owner solve these issues

Not great

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental was still dirty when we came. There was lettuce on the couch, toothpaste on the knobs and dog hair all over the floor. The lock initially did not lock... but they did fix this. The shower leaked and never got warm. One of the lawn /beach chairs was totally broken. Some basic necessities like scissors, salt and pepper, extra blankets or even a pen were not there. Needs major updating and even blinds had many broken spots.
