This is my third time visiting for the Indiana Sand Dunes Birding Festival, and as always this is the perfect place! I have everything I need , the beds are comfortable, the home well stocked, and clean. The host is always so kind, and just as excited as I am about my adventures here! Be sure to check out local places like Tiny’s coffee bar for great food, and drinks! I can’t wait to come back next year!

The property is lovely, inside and out. It provide a beautiful haven of physical and emotional comfort as we attended the funeral of a dear family member. We are grateful it was available and hope to return soon to enjoy it happier circumstances.

We had a great time. So close to beach we could walk. Very nice not to worry about parking and when it got too hot, just walked back to cool off. Home is very spacious and clean. Nice neighborhood. Tom was very helpful and great communication, we didn't need anything-all was perfect. Very responsive and informative. Outside patio was nice for relaxing and firepit was very nice, wood and roasting sticks were provided by Tom so that was really awesome!

The house was a couple minute walk from the beach and it is so private! There is no public parking so there aren't many ppl on the beach. The water was so clean and clear! The house was extremely clean, well kept, and safe. The firewood and propane are supplied. All of the linens including beach towels are provided. Tom was so incredibly kind and very attentive. We are already trying to figure out when we can go back! Flamingo pizza and sand and salsa are just a couple blocks away. We took the train into Chicago for a day and that was great! Indiana Dunes National Park west beach trails are very close to the house as well. Our dogs loved the house, the yard is very secure. Unlike some rentals there was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags! We can't wait to go back!!
