Weekend get away

This home had all of the amenities to make our stay very comfortable! We had 8 adults, and everyone had a blast! All of the bedrooms were spacious and the living and dining rooms open concept allowed for us to spread out to play cards or watch TV and still be connected. Home is in walking distance to beach and park for easy trips with little ones.

Weekend Getaway

A lovely house with great amenities. Ideal size and ability to accommodate our group of 8 people, ranging from adults to kids. A slight hiccup with the access code upon arrival but was solved quickly. Otherwise, a perfect stay.

Wonderful beach house for a group of family or friends

We stayed at Mandy's beach house in Sheridan Beach for a family wedding. We all grew up in the area but now live in California. Modern, clean, well organized house with plenty of space and amenities. We had a hiccough and Mandy and her mom Sue got it taken care of right away. We all decided we would stay here for the next visit home.

We liked everything about this house except the mattresses. They all need to be replaced. Uncomfortable and most are dipped in the middle as of fall 2023.

Cute Property

Very attractive. Just nice to drive up to. Cute backyard with nice fire pit, table, etc. Great bedroom situations. Cute kitchen - nice touches like snacks. Manager was communicative and helpful.

Michigan City Beach Trip

Our stay at Mandy’s home was overall pleasant. The location was excellent—quiet, walkable, and close to the beach, park, and zoo. The home matched the listing, was spacious, and had useful amenities like a washer, dryer, and dishwasher. The firewood delivery was a nice touch.That said, we did experience a few issues. The refrigerator wasn’t cooling, and the door sensor beeped continuously despite the doors being closed. We contacted the host immediately. Since they are not local, a property manager was sent over. While she arrived promptly, she was confrontational from the start, escalating the situation unnecessarily. She later returned with a cooler and her husband, who was even more aggressive—belittling us and giving an unhelpful lecture on how refrigerators work.A repair technician came the next day and resolved the cooling issue, though the beeping persisted. We also found several nails in the driveway—dangerous for our child and vehicles. This was reported but never addressed.The home itself could use a deep cleaning and some minor repairs. Future guests should be aware of the property’s current condition and the property manager’s unprofessional behavior. We hope this feedback leads to improvements, as the home has great potential.

Nice stay

The house is lovely and well appointed. We enjoyed our stay. Nice neighborhood. The host is accommodating and communication is excellent. The only negative is that the beds upstairs are not comfortable for adults. They would be good for young children . The downstairs beds are very comfortable. Many thoughtful touches such as beach towels and chairs, games etc..highly recommend.

This house was the perfect size for our large family. In fact, due to illness, we had more than enough room for our family.The house was clean and provided enough bedrooms and beds for all.It might have been good to add a TV(s) to bedrooms.
