Wonderful House.

The house was great! Plenty of space for all my family. Very close to the beach and only about 20min from the Indiana Dunes State Park. The stairs to the basement was a little steep. However, the kids loved having their own space. Great arcade games. Kitchen was very useful, but I would recommend bring your own pans.

Great option

There are many things about this stay we really enjoyed. The host has good communication and has set up the home very nice. Unfortunately, the condition of the home was not what we prefer to experience when we rent a home. Part of this was cleanliness and the host was good to try to resolve the situation, which to some extent was out of her control and we were grateful for her very professional response.

There are a few minor things that need repaired in the house but overall it was a great place to stay! Very close to the beach and in a quiet neighborhood.

What we needed

We choose this place because we needed beds & rooms. The description was on point. However on the initial walk through we notice hair in the tub, and trash in garbage that was missed. We did go buy an iron, and kitchen strainer for our use. We appreciated the extra bottles of water. Overall it worked for us just a bit pricey.

Beautiful Place

Christina was responsive and attentive. The home was beautiful and big enough to host my entire family. Quiet, safe, neighborhood. We were able to cook breakfast for our large family and had all the cookware and utensils we needed. We would DEFINITELY stay here again.

Beautiful property and good location

My family and I traveled from St Louis to Gary Indiana for a funeral and stayed at this beautiful property. When we arrived at the property and spoke with Christina the owner the check in process was good and she was nice and polite and stated if we need anything to just give her a call. As we walked through the property I was amazed how everything was set up. Christina had plenty of games and all of the necessities that were needed for our weekend stay there at this newly remodeled home. Christina is a great host and I want to say thanks for everything and I will be staying here again. Beautiful home you must see it for yourself.
