The house was perfect for 6 adults and 5 teenagers. The kids used the upstairs game room a lot. It was close to the beach and outlet stores. House was very clean. Nice yard to play corn hole and ladder ball.The hosts were very great to work with. I loved the house decor.

This is a nice big house with plenty of room for people. It has great areas to gather as a group and spaces to be alone if you need some quiet time. It was not far from anything and well equipped things. We enjoyed our stay.

This house was so fun. Our family stayed there, about 10 of us. It was big enough we could all watch a movie together in the living space, but we could also have our space. The kitchen table let us all sit down for a meal together as well. Really perfect for a larger group. The location is great, literally 5 minutes to the beach and 15 minutes to New Buffalo.

My family has been coming to Michigan City my entire life. This year we decided to get VRBO for the first time - rather than a hotel or staying with extended family. It was perfect for us. We had plenty of room to be together, the bedrooms were comfortable. The house was outfitted with everything we needed for our annual beach vacation. The location is great - very close to everything - much in walking distance - coffee shop, yoga studio, restaurants/bars, the outlet mall is only a few blocks away. A first floor bedroom and laundry was perfect for my parents. The kids loved having the bunk bedroom and upstairs TV room in the evenings. We would absolutely recommend this location to others.
