The physical layout of the house was great for a large group. Bedrooms separated from the living space. Kitchen/living area and screened porch were perfect for our group. But, lots of updates need to happen - beds were not comfortable nor was the couch. The towels were old and dingy. The hot tub was unusable - water was foggy and green. The outdoor staircase also is VERY SLIPPERY. The property would be very difficult for anyone with mobility issues to navigate. Driveway was incredibly steep and each floor is separated by steep stairwells. Location is great. We were able to get Uber/Lyft. Beach is very close walk, with an accessible pathway. Listing title should reflect that this is no longer newly built.

The place was filthy. Floors not vacuumed or mopped. Stuff left around like bottle caps and wrappers. Nothing wiped down in the kitchen. Gunk all over appliances. Coffee left in the pot. Two nobs on stove top missing. Ice maker not working. Shower curtains moldy. Old bath towels. One mattress feels like a boxspring not mattress. Living room couch with stains and is indented.

The house was set up very nicely for a big group. Kitchen, living, dining space was all open, easy for meal prep by many people at once. We all loved the back screened in porch.

Cynthia S.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Our stay at this property was deeply disappointing due to extensive maintenance and cleanliness issues. The house was unprepared for guests, with broken lounge and beach chairs, a hazardous piece of wood with a rusty nail exposed, and both grills either broken or unusable due to excessive grease. The sliding glass door to the balcony would not close properly, and the gas stove was missing two knobs, making it difficult to use. The fridge barely cooled, its water filter was nonfunctional, and the bottom drawer was broken.Hygiene was a major concern: an empty large Clorox bottle was left in the dirty hot tub, there were no clean sponges or soap in the kitchen and most bathrooms (five out of six dispensers were filled with water), and we found orange mildew on all shower curtains, cobwebs, dust, and a dirty wet towel in a closet. The shower head and toilet handle in one bathroom were corroded and sticking, and the upstairs primary bedroom toilet required manual flushing with a trash can of water.Comfort was compromised by hard, outdated beds (like 30-year-old box springs, especially in the kids’ room), torn or dirty sheets and comforters, and raggedy towels. The kids’ room was freezing, while upstairs was uncomfortably hot. Broken light switches, fan lamps, and burnt-out bulbs in the yellow bedroom added to the inconvenience, alongside an overflowing trash can upon arrival. This property needs significant repairs and cleaning to meet basic standards. We cannot recommend it.
Greasy and gross Not useable Chairs
Both fridges were broken and one didn’t cool well
Bathroom shower curtains in all baths filthy and should be replaced. Toilets were hard to flush one had to use a bucket to flush and some knobs extremely loose

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.

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 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.
