Beautiful home / Great stay

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.

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.

Cute Property

Loved this place except for the mattresses - most of which were in dire need of replacement. Most everything looked clean but floors were dirty when we wiped a spot up which a rag so could tell they hadn't been really cleaned well in a while. Cleaning service should be monitored. Host had toys, beach bags in each room to use, beach chairs, beach umbrellas and some basic kitchen items. Bring your own shampoo and body wash or bars of soap.

A great week

This place is way more than a 4 but maybe not quite a 5 (4.8?). We had a couple small issues but very happy with the home. The best part is the layout. Easy for many adults to be cooking, eating, talking at the same time. Second best thing is the upstairs. Perfect for teens and tweens. I know they stayed up a lot later than us but we never heard them. Nice outdoor table and firepit. Comfy quiet beds. I'd say the walk to the beach would be easy for anyone 8 and up. The provided beach wagon was super useful and the beach is lovely and never very crowded.

Great Visit to Lake Michigan

We had a great stay at the house! It was very clean, spacious and cute decor. It is walkable to the beach, which was very enjoyable. We also used this location as a place to spend some time in Chicago as well (about an hour drive). The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and the grill outside was handy. We even spotted some deer while out back. The host is very responsive - the air was not working very well and the upstairs room was quite warm. I let her know and she sent fans via Instacart that night. My kids greatly appreciated those! We had a great visit. Thank you.

Family/Friend Vacation

The house was very clean and comfortable. The decor and vibe were much better than most house rentals we have been in. There were many extra little thoughtful touches that made it more welcoming. It had everything we needed and more. The children loved the upstairs space. The walk to the beach was very doable with young children and the wagon they provided made it even easier. We would stay again if we are ever back in the area.

Perfect place to stay

Second stay in this lovely home. Entire home was clean & the decor is adorable throughout. Pictures are exact representation of home. We stayed during winter so we didn't use the backyard with grill & firepit but those accommodation would be great in other seasons. Mandy was prompt with responses to my questions via the app. Check process in was a breeze. Highly recommend renting this home.

Perfectly Perfect!

We had the most delightful stay for our son’s wedding weekend! It’s not often that a rental exceeds your expectations but this one did! It was clean and roomy with lots of options for places to hangout whether we wanted to be all together or to tuck away for a little quiet time. The home was very well stocked with dishes, cookware, beach supplies, etc. The homeowner was very quick to respond whenever I had a question. I highly recommend this property!

Fun times at Washington Park Beach on Lake MI

Overall a great week. The walk to the beach is about a quarter mile and fairly flat. If you have a wagon, walk out via Louisiana Street, there is a better path over the sand. The beach was pleasantly nice and clean. Beautiful areas around to walk/hike. Lots of restaurants in Mich City or New Buffalo (10 min away). The house is new, clean and comfy. A/C works well. The grill was out of propane but Amanda took care of it quickly before dinner that night. We had a fire out back every night. Kids ranging from toddlers to 8yo had a blast at the beach and hiking the dunes.

The perfect Michigan City Getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home! Mandy was very easy to work with, and accessible. This home was immaculately clean, and very tastefully decorated. The towels were fluffy, and the beds were very comfy! There was plenty of room in the home for everyone in our group. We hope to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Mandy

Host profile image
I'm Amanda, and together with my husband Goran, we are very excited to have a beach house in Michigan City. We purchased the lot in 2018 and immediately started construction. I grew up in Michigan City, and my family runs a building company in the area, so there is a lot of love and family effort that went into every stage of building this home. We have twin girls who are two years old, and are so looking forward to spending summer vacations and holidays with them in this house. We hope that you love it too!

Why they chose this property

Michigan City is my home town, and I grew up going to the beaches in Michigan City. Although work has taken me away from Michigan City, we are very happy to have a place of our own to come "home" to. This property provides good proximity to the lake (an easy walk) and also to my family, while also being a bit quieter than some of the other beachfront rental areas. And it was very fun getting to construct the house for the ground up, building to suit our family needs.

What makes this property unique

New Construction - everything is modern and up to date!
