Quick Relaxing Family Weekend

Nice quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan and walking distance to the beach. The property provided plenty of space for 8 adults. A variety of beach equipment and toys were available for our use to take to the beach. Anne was easy to reach and the check-in/out was very easy. We hope to come back again!

Beautiful location!

Best part about the trip- watching the sunset on the lake sitting on the porch and the Short walk to the beach. The WiFi was spotty but host was responsive to improving it. overall a great place to stay! We have come here two years in a row with four kids and four adults. We enjoyed this house and never felt crowded.

Fabulous waterfront home

We had a fabulous family vacation here. Located between two beach areas, each is less than a 10 minute walk. The view of Lake Michigan from the front of the home is majestic- we loved opening the windows and listening to the waves. Staying here felt like being at home, and Anne is a welcoming host. Would definitely stay here again!

Great getaway spot

Lovely owners and very communicative. House was comfortable and great location- only a few minutes from beach. There’s lots of board games, chairs, towels, kitchen items, a kayak, paddleboard, a wagon- great to know so you don’t have to pack a lot. Notes if you’re looking to book this place: take toilet paper. Stove gets very hot under where cookie sheets are kept- so wear an oven mit if grabbing a sheet after already warmed up.

Beautiful views

We had a wonderful time at the beach house. So many hours watching the sunset, the storms on the lake and just listening to the waves on the beautiful porch. Ann made my family and I very comfortable and there was plenty of room for the kids and grandkids. It was so relaxing and we hope to return soon.

Beach House in Michiana, Michigan

Cute house. My family of five (all adults) enjoyed our stay in this house. The front patio facing Lake Michigan was our favorite place to be. We watched the sun set each night. We just wish the very large family room in the back had air conditioning. It was too hot to watch movies and get comfy. We only used the living room and those chairs aren't as comfy. But we still loved the house.

Beautiful lake front property

We had a wonderful stay at this home right along Lakeshore Drive in Michiana. The views are spectacular and the house has an amazing screen porch where we enjoyed meals and game night. The beds are comfortable and the owners provide plenty of extra linens . The dining room features a nice long table with benches to encourage meals together with lots of sharing. We appreciate you sharing your spacious home with us!

Family Vacation in Michiana

My family and I had a great 5 day stay at this very cute house. The host, Anne, was friendly, easy to contact and accommodating and provided us with clear and easy check-in and check-out instructions. The house is on a bluff and has a nice view of Lake Michigan as well as the gorgeous Michigan sunsets. Being able to hear the waves at night was lovely! The house itself was clean and nicely decorated and we had plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed for meal prep. I would love to stay here again.

Great weekend

We were on a girls weekend, and the house was perfectly located, the view was gorgeous and it had everything we needed, plenty of paper products, lots of backup products, books and games, chairs for beach and wagon. We were provided lots of information for local restaurants and things to do. We had an awesome time, and would love to go back! The only suggestion would be to have a little clarification in the description of the parking situation. It was perfectly fine, but a tiny but confusing the first night. Overall, we loved our weekend and made lots awesome memories! Thanks Anne!

Lake Michigan Beach Vacation

Gorgeous unimpeded view of the lake from the front porch where we spent every morning & afternoon listening to the waves, watching sunsets & even had the opportunity to catch a storm come across the lake. Located near two beaches just short of a 10 min walk in either direction. Easily housed my family of 5 & our pup. Plenty of restaurants, breweries and other amenities just 15 mins away in Michigan City, IN or New Buffalo, MI. The 3 seasons room is a great hangout space on the property if the weather is bearable. We lucked out with a couple of breezy cool weather days that made the space perfect. Plenty of parking, although you do have to use stairs to reach the property. My family did not have an issue with this, but may be an issue for others. Check in/out was effortless & Anne was super responsive through the app.

Close tot he beach and front door to the views

No complaints about this place at all, except maybe that the sunsets should last a little longer and we wanted a few more hours in the day to enjoy it. Life may move a little fast on the chicago side of the lake but over here it moves at just the right speed. The lake house has what you need, including plenty of rooms, tables for puzzles and space for naps. We cooked every night (great stove and grill), played loads of games and went for lots of walks. You honestly can’t go wrong.

Lovely lakefront home

We were fortunate to book this lovely house on Lake Michigan for a few days at the end of June. The photos provided accurately reflect the interior of the home. The property is very close to a nice beach where we took walks and lounged and enjoyed the water. The house has a big deck overlooking the lake, which we really enjoyed. The home also features a huge enclosed wrap-around sunroom where we ate some of our meals and relaxed in the oversized, comfortable furniture. The only note we have for owners is the bathroom vent fans and some floors could use a thorough cleaning. We plan to be back soon to enjoy this beautiful house. Thank you for sharing your home with guests like us!

Amazing Lakefront Retreat Getaway!!!

This home had it all... perfect front porch views of beautiful Lake Michigan, spacious lodging, 4 big size bedrooms, 2 full size bathrooms, great backyard with BBQ & loved the back sunroom because of the windows & log cabin feel. Had 2 tv's with every channel & wifi was great. Walking distance to sandy beaches. Loved walking & riding bikes on Lake Shore Drive! My family of 6 adults & 1 child had an amazing week. Thank you to Anne & her family! They answered all of our questions & were there for anything we needed! My family & I would recommend this property to anyone! We will be back again soon! Thank you Anne!!!

Best house in town

My family and I stayed for a week here at Casa Roja and it was amazing! The kitchen had everything you could ever need and the location was INCREDIBLE. Other reviews negatively portrayed the number of steps and distance from the beach. There are 20 total steps and my mother in law, a senior with a heart condition, was able to navigate with no issues. The walk to the beaches (yes, plural) is at most, 5 minutes. The house is also pet friendly, so our dog was able to enjoy the lake as much as we did. We had access to bikes, a Lilly pad, kayaks, tubes and a wagon to carry it all. The only downside is that the house is booked for the week we wanted to go in 2024! Amazing house, amazing location.

Not What we Expected

The photos made it sound like it was waterfront property, but there was a street between the house and water.There were 25 steps up to the house, the photo made it look like about 5 or 6. The screened porch was big, but very dark paneling & floors, and all the windows faced the back of the house, not the lake. The bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen &, front living room were like a maze and not laid out well as far as bathrooms/bedrooms. It did have a well stocked kitchen & dining room, nice towels, etc., but I could not find one washcloth. Also, because the waves washed out the nearby steps to the beach, we had to walk 1/2 mile to the next set of steps with all if our beach gear . Being seniors, all in all we were disappointed in the house for the price we paid.

Cute house, outstanding location

My family, our dog, and our friends stayed here for a short 3 night labor day weekend getaway - a little end of summer hurrah. The house met our needs perfectly. The house was clean and well taken care of. It is a very old home, and quirky like any old home. It has a very odd layout which was unexpected and hard to tell from the pictures. It didn't matter to us, but just something to note. The enclosed back porch was very nice for sitting in the evenings, but it was a hot weekend so it did get quite warm out there during the day. A note for dog owners, the backyard is not fenced on all sides. Also, the yard is shared with the property next door. Again, it was fine for us but something renters should know. There are 27 stairs from the street to the front door, so unloading/reloading your car on move in and departure day involves a lot of stairs. The beach access is a 5 minute walk either direction, but the access to the north at the dead end of the street is easier to access to beach, and has less steps down to the sand. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again because the location is fantastic.

Perfect home for us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Anne's place. The kitchen is stocked with most things you would need. Lots of glassware and utensils. We only cooked breakfast but if we stayed longer, I would have loved to cook more. Lots of good pans to use. The home is spacious enough for our group and pups. Plenty of games to play. Nice books and 2 tvs so no overcrowding. We look for to returning to Anne's place. We enjoyed the location and the sunset on the water.

A wonderful peaceful setting

Anne was lovely, having everything open and ready for us, leaving a bottle of wine, and even coming over one time we stupidly locked ourselves out! The property was clean, comfortable, well-appointed, and perfect for our group to both gather and have private space. The views of the lake and the proximity to the beach for walks and admiring the sunset was fantastic. We cooked a lot, but the proximity to necessities (like groceries and Oink's Ice Cream, which is a necessity) was fantastic. We were very impressed and happy and would definitely rent again if we return to the area!
