Good stay and good value with one caveat
The positives are that this was a nice place with plenty of space and beds for our group which was great. It's in a nice location, close to the water/beach and close to things to do in town and in SW Michigan. The beds/layout were great and our group enjoyed our trip. I am giving it 5 stars with the caveat that the owners are VERY cheap regarding things like dishwasher tablets/towels/laundry detergent. We didn't have enough towels for our entire group, which is silly to me, if you advertise sleeping for 10 people there should be enough towels for each person; similarly there were only a handful of laundry/dish detergent tablets. It's not a huge deal, but when you pay several hundred dollars per person to rent a place for a weekend it seems pretty cheap and I probably wouldn't rent this VRBO again because of it.

Good location
House is a great location with proximity to the beach. Despite the 'newly built' in the title, don't expect anything new. The house looks as if it was worn hard and put away wet. Not much attention to cleaning prior to our arrival. We were afraid to use the hot tub as the water smelled like it had not been changed in a long time. Good size for a large group, you just have to let a lot go.

Girls getaway
Very accommodating with 12 beds. Nice to be so close to beach with beach chairs provided. Great large kitchen table and table on patio outside to sit everyone. Had some difficulty reaching host and confirming approval to try and get in a little early as some of our group was from out of state.

Great spacious house & within walking distance
We loved staying here - 1 block from the beach, 1/2 mile to splash pad and zoo, & a mile to restaurants. We walked every where! So many beds to choose from and kitchen was large enough for everyone to sit. Quiet and peaceful in the evenings.

Something’s to consider
There are pros and cons to this house. PROS-huge, spacious house. 4 full bathrooms. Great outdoor space. Excellent location for the beach and actives near the harbor of Michigan City. CONS-while surface clean, it is not a clean house. The walls and ceilings have stains. The bathrooms smell dirty and one has mold on the ceiling. The shower curtains are really gross. There are broken things everywhere-the lamp on ceiling in master is sharp shard of glass, ripped drywall in closet, oven door is falling apart, knobs missing from stove, I could go on. I have bruises on my hips from sleeping on the master bed. That’s how hard it was. Lastly, I do t understand why providing hand soap and toilet paper is too much when the guest is paying $900 per night. It just seems like it should be a given.

Nice house for a large family getaway
Pros: 8 adults and 7 kids stayed here for 4 nights and we had tons of space. Layout of the house is nice... we loved the front deck and back patio. Has a very short, easy walk to the beach. Host was very responsive when I messaged him about some issues with the house. Cons: Could use some maintenance with the bathrooms and some of the appliances, but none of those things were deal breakers. Bring extra towels if you have a big group.

Weekend with Classmates
Good for a large group, needs general upkeep. A bit dirty and some things broken like rack in dishwasher, dishwasher handle, a dining room chair, slider screen, moldy freezer in the basement etc. Could have used more towels and some general supplies like Kleenex, large garbage bags etc.. A little fixing up and this could be a great place.

Great House, Great Location!
This place was AMAZING. The house was pristine and accommodated our 10 adults and 7 kids very easily! . The house was spacious and open and had plenty of space on 3 levels with a great kitchen and atmosphere. We relaxed on the screen porch quite a bit and took advantage of the hot tub in the evenings. The location was perfect for us, a 1-2 minute walk to the beach. Colin was extremely quick to respond with any questions. This place is worth the money! I 100% recommend.

My children and grandchildren had a marvelous time here. The house is laid out beautifully. There were 20 of us and no one ever felt crowded, plenty of space to spread out and have your own space. Will definitely rent again.

Disgustingly Dirty and in Great State of Disrepair
This is NOT a “newly built” home. The description is false or hasn’t been changed in years. The home was filthy and in a terrible state of disrepair. Broken cabinets, broken furniture, ripped screen door, broken bathroom fixtures and light fixtures. Dirty blankets and sheets on the bed. Dirty curtains. Almost every wall was dirty. Literally found dead bugs smashed on the wall. Mold on the shower curtains and in the basement bathroom. Shower head hanging off the wall upstairs. Rusty curtain rods. Ant infestation in the kitchen. Moldy coffee grounds in the coffee pot. Mildew on patio furniture. Sand in the freezer! The list goes on and on and on. And I sent numerous messages to the host over several days and did not get a single response to any of them. It was a horrible experience. I could never suggest that anyone stay there until the house receives significant attention both by way of repairs and general cleanliness. The only upside was the proximity to the beach.

Our family of 16: 14 adults and 2 kiddos enjoyed our 4 night stay. Great access to the beach, host was quick and helpful in response. Place was clean, because it is a beach home you definitely deal with sand, not an issue just an FYI.

Our favorite get away
My friend and I have been taking our kids to michigan city and the dunes for the past 4 years. It’s a girl and kiddos trip. This year we rented a house instead of doing our normal hotel. The house was amazing- so big - the kids loved it! Had everything you need but I would say bring extra laundry detergent, paper plates and plastic silverware and extra trash bags. Location was perfect for us. Steep driveway but I have 4 kids and a large suv so it was not a issue for me. We will definitely be back!

Colin was awesome, accommodating, and quick to respond to questions and a new coffee maker! Home was GREAT. The location, layout and amenities checked the boxes! I do agree with other reviews that most the beds are hard and hope they could be changed out at some point. That said , we’d probably come back next year.

Cousin’s Care ‘23
The property was clean and had everything needed for our large party. Good amount of bedrooms, multiple large seating areas, and plenty of bathrooms. Never felt cramped. Would have been 5 stars, but the oven wasn’t working. I notified the host about the issue and received a lackluster response. We were only there for 2 days, so we were able to make due without the oven. If booking, I’d make sure this problem has been rectified.

Good time, but some issues
Lots of room and fun fire pit in back. However, downstairs 2 bedrooms only had a deep window well for light and they were covered in dirt. Downstairs bathroom had mold. Master were either very hard very soft. There was jockeying to see who would get the better beds. Owners were not accommodating.10 days after we booked we found we had a free place to stay. We were renting on weekdays. I offered to switch to the off season week days again for same price. Their calendar shows they have no weekdays in the offseason rented except for Xmas week. I had a rental for 20 years on same street and it is hard to rent week days. They would not change the dates. It would have represented very little risk to them and a big help to us!

This house is perfect!
I want to start by saying Colin is amazing! He messaged me with all the rules in the beginning of the week before my stay. When we got there, the poor cleaning ladies were still cleaning up the house from the people before us. We didn’t mind at all. We finally got into the house 30 mins late and it was spotless. The house is huge and plenty of room for everyone in party to stay. My husband and I rented the place for my bridal party and us. The basement has two bedrooms and a bath with a huge living area. One private bed and one with the bunk beds. When you go to the main level you have one private room and bath with the kitchen and huge dining and living room. The walk out balcony overlooks the street and you are walking distance to the beach. The upstairs has four bedrooms (one master suit, two private bedrooms and one with two large beds) and a bathroom. This place is huge and very roomy! I would stay here over and over. The hot tube was amazing and helped me recover from my night of dancing lol. We had a fire in the fire pit every night. The neighbors were quite. I will say the drive way is very steep so if you have elderly people staying this might not be the place you want. Colin was amazing with recommendations on where to park since we had so many cars with us. He always answered my text immediately or in a very timely manner. I couldn’t recommend this place more.
