2 Night Minimum. Welcome to the “Miami,” Sheridan Beach’s lakefront apartment with hot tub, ( OPERATING ALL YEAR ), Jacuzzi, steam room, and panoramic views of the dunes, surrounded by wilderness, beach, and Michigan City’s famous Lighthouse. There is nothing between you and the fine, sandy beach except a short "3-MINUTE WALK" down the footpath through the sand dunes to the lake. Beach chairs are provided. The sand is so fine that when you drag your feet, it actually squeaks. Open either the six French doors in the living room to access the hot tub or the four French doors in the bedroom and step out onto the expansive deck or stay inside and listen to the soothing sounds of Lake Michigan’s surf ( when the waves are up) and the songs of the crickets in the dunes. Let the sounds lull you to sleep. The master bedroom features a king-size/four-poster bed; and an additional queen-sized hide-a-bed with an extra 3-inch foam mattress topper. This is a 5-star accommodation at an awesome, natural 5-star location. Pets OK.
The floor is covered with a super plush 90-ounce carpeting that you can really sink your feet into, a master bedroom with a grandiose four-poster kind size bed worthy of a King or Queen, and Two sided gas fireplace. Extra-large bathroom with a three-person Jacuzzi tub, flat screen TV, beach sand toys for children, glass-surround dual shower, dual basins set in blue pearl granite, bidet, and an antique vanity dressing table. Truly a five-star feeling. You will also find an invigorating steam room with dual showers. Treat yourself to an outdoor shower on the deck and a large "PRIVATE" 8-foot x 8-foot hot tub ( 'AVAILABLE ALL YEAR' ). Comcast cable and high-speed wireless internet are included.
Wave Runner rental & 90-minute excursion boat ride, Yoga Sessions & Massages ( extra charge).

Birthday beach getaway

Hidden treasure! Wish the path to the beach was easier…lugging equipment was a workout! Realized that it costs as much to stay here as it would have on the beach walk (more modern and new). But kids loved the games in the apartment!

Great weekend away

Beautiful view and great proximity to Lake Michigan. We enjoyed the beach and also the many amenities the property offered. We had to bring two vehicles, parking was a bit tricky but the caretaker was there to help me out. Some inside features are a bit worn but we were there for Lake Michigan so it didn’t bother us at all. Thank you for a great weekend away!

Nice stay on Lake Michigan

With this rental you have the top floor of the building to yourself. It has the best view as you can see Lake Michigan as you look out the wall of doors from almost anywhere in the rental. Amenities are great and there is a lot to choose from (gas fireplace, hot tub, large jacuzzi, steam room). The cons would be tight parking and navigating down the narrow road. There are a lot a good number of stairs as well so keep that in mind if you don't like stairs. Overall my wife and I really enjoyed the rental and the beach and would likely stay again.

Great location, beware of stairs & calls from owner

This is a great location! Absolutely right on the beautiful dunes and beach. What the listing excludes is that this is a 3rd story/multi-residence rental. The stairs are intense. Also, the owner prefers to talk with you - several times/conversations - all about how to use the property instead of providing it in writing (or labels on appliances, etc.) It's a great choice for a romantic get away for adults.

Fabulous Lake Michigan Views

This unit had amazing views of Lake Michigan from the great room and bedroom, as well as the deck. We particularly enjoyed soaking-in the view while soaking in the hot tub. Kitchen was comfortably appointed with all of the appliances we required and a good assortment of dishes/pots/pans. Bonus feature was two arcade-style games, which were perfect to enjoy when it was too cold to enjoy the beach. Only downsides were the industrial aspect of the surrounding neighborhood and a low spot in the king-sized mattress that had me rolling towards the middle every night.

Great place on the beach

Location was great, right on a beautiful beach. Didn't realize paddleboards/bikes, etc were shared among the units. But didn't have any issue with those being available. Bikes were in fair condition - older and 2 had bad tires. We didn't feel safe driving them too far and getting stuck with a breakdown. Not having actual full oven wasn't ideal as it was convection oven dual w the microwave. Ben the property manager was awesome! He checked in routinely and available any time. And readily got us anything we needed. He lives in the bottom unit. My kids enjoyed the pinball machines. The walk to the beach was an accurate 3 minutes, but very nice trail. View of beach isn't fully clear with a few trees in the way and on right side of property had no housing and alot of trees/foilage so not full on open view of beach in all directions.

We recently stayed at “The Miami” and enjoyed the quirky, well-equipped space, especially the private deck and arcade machines. The location near the beach and dunes is beautiful, and the property has a lot of unique amenities. That said, there are a few important details that future guests, especially pet owners should know ahead of time.First, this is not a standalone house. It’s the top-floor apartment of a three-unit building. Access is via a shared stairwell, and a live-in caretaker resides on the bottom floor. Some of the amenities described — like bikes, kayaks, beach wagons, and the soda machine — are shared with the other units, which wasn’t entirely clear in the listing. That’s fine if you’re expecting it, but worth knowing in advance.We booked this rental in part because it was listed as dog-friendly, but the reality didn’t align well:There’s no grassy area for dogs to relieve themselves.The sand can reach very high temperatures (over 100F), which isn’t safe for paws.The yard contains cactus and poison ivy, and there were LOTS of ticks.During a required phone call, the host let us know that dogs aren’t allowed on the beach, and to take an umbrella to hide them. We were also told that if our dog might bark at all, we needed to take them with us at all times, which is not very practical.This property has some standout features and could be a great fit for couples or small groups without pets.

Miami

We absolutely loved our stay at the Miami. The location was private and beautiful. The deer came right up to eat and we watched them from the patio. We had many family competitions on the games and enjoyed the quick access to the beach. Everything worked properly and it was the cleanest place we have ever stayed. We all agreed we would definitely stay again!

Our third time here! But….

Overall , this is a fantastic condo! If there was a loft area over the entrance for a second bed for friends to stay, what a value it would be!- (Hideaway just doesn’t cut it!) Otherwise same as trip to Vegas! Also, as others have mentioned, little ladybug type incests falling onto bed at night unacceptable
