Nice large house in a great location

Comfortable, casual house just half a block from the beach. Place was just as described and host was easy to work with (although not always timely in responses). Definitely recommend.

Great Space for Family Vacation!

This home was perfect for a large family group. Our family got together for some summer time together. The location right at the beach was wonderful, it was a very easy walk to the water each day. The basement was stocked with beach towels and chairs and everything you could need. The rooms provide a lot of sleeping space for a large group. The large dining tables assured everyone had a seat. Overall we had a wonderful time, definitely going to ear mark this location for future trips!

We had an absolutely amazing stay with my big family. We ranged in age from 1-68 and everyone had a comfortable bed and no problem finding a bathroom near every bedroom. The kitchen was stocked with dishes, pots and pans and any other kitchen item you might need. There is an easy walk to the beach and a walkway that made pulling a wagon and pushing a stroller easy. The beach is gorgeous. I definitely recommend this beautiful home that easily accommodates 18 people.

Family Beach Weekend

I stayed here with my siblings, their spouses and our 13 children. This house was perfect-it was SO close to the beach…literally a 2 minute walk to the sand and another 3 minutes to get to the waterfront. The mudroom was perfect to dump all the towels, chairs, sand toys and keep the rest of the house clean. The dining area has 3 tables so plenty of space to sit and eat. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms making it ideal for a large group so everyone had their own space. The neighborhood was cute, clean and safe.

Family vacation

This is our second straihjt years for staying at this location. It is so ideal for our family. We have eight adults and 10 grandchildren and the house is very comfortable with plenty of room to play games, eat, sleep, relax, etc. it meets all of our needs, and then sell! The closeness of the beach is a big selling point. It is about a 100 yard walk to the beach, which makes it very convenient for the parents to bring home their children for lunch, restroom breaks, naps, etc. plenty of room on the beach for our family of 18. The owner is very easy to work with and always returns emails, phone calls, etc. immediately. A big thumbs up from the Webber Family and we would give it 10 stars but we’re limited to only five!!!

Plenty of privacy but also great communal spaces for 14 adults to enjoy

Our family reunion brought together 14 adults (and one teen), who had a variety of needs and requests (1st floor bedrooms and baths; quiet, private corners; plenty of couches and large dining tables for hanging out and eating together, but also quiet, private corners). Everyone appreciated the quick walk to the uncrowded beach and the ample beach chairs and towels--and, on a day that turned dreary and rainy, lots of room to spread out comfortably for simultaneous board games and conversations. The host was graciously responsive to a couple of requests we had. Good A.C. overall and strong wifi, easy for everyone to connect to. We wished there had been a couple of beach umbrellas and, ideally (but we accepted as not possible on the lot) more outdoor space for our large group to gather outside. All in all, 117 Louisiana proved the best accommodation we've ever found for our family reunions, also for its convenient proximity to Chicago and airports.

Steps to the Lake

This was a perfect spot for walking to Lake Michigan. Steps away from the beach made the location ideal. Lots of seating for meals was helpful. Main floor and upper level bedrooms and bathrooms were adequate and clean. Upstairs sitting area was calm and peaceful. Basement space wise was nice, however, when going into the basement there was a musty smell. The bathroom in the basement had a drain with standing water in it. When turning on the sink, water would gurgle in the drain. This drain also had a horrible smell that permeated the whole bathroom. If needing to use the basement space, would not recommend but if space in basement is not needed, this is a perfect spot for lake access. Neighborhood was also very quiet. Host was very responsive when finding out about the drain, etc and sent a handyman to check it out.

Good communication with host. They repaired a broken ac unit. Beds aren’t super comfortable which ended up being a big detractor for us. It was easy to work with the host and the location was perfect. It required more of guests than many other rentals we have stayed at upon check out.

Fourth of July fun!

Our whole family stayed here for the Fourth of July weekend and had a wonderful stay. The common spaces were perfect for game playing, but still enough room for everyone to sit comfortably. The proximity to the beach was great and we all appreciated not having to fight traffic and find parking. Would definitely stay here again.

Family reunion beach stay

Such a fantastic home to spend the holiday with 3 generations of family. Andy and Amy are the most lovely people to share their dream beach home with others. House is even better in person than any picture could show.

Wonderful family trip!

The house met our needs very well...lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. The crib was great to have! The kitchen is not very big, and we had 11 people but we made do. Very easy access to the beach...a 2 minute walk! We loved the screened porch at night!

Our family had a great time! We had a large group-8 adults, 9 kids…plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone. Cannot beat the short distance to the beach! Kitchen is very small, but we made it work. We could have definitely used a second refrigerator, maybe in the basement for drinks to take to the beach. House was well-stocked, layout is kind of odd, but no complaints. We had a great time!

The property was located so close to the beach! We loved that! It's a little older than what it appears in the photos, but it fit our family well and everyone enjoyed it. The kitchen is small. The basement bathroom was buggy. Overall, though we enjoyed our stay!!
