Additionally, there's a den with a pull-out couch (bed) and an office desk - perfect for morning emails before you hit the beach.

Review Score:   10
Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent 5 days at this house in late September. Michigan City and the house were perfect. The beaches were beautiful but quiet, and the house offered the perfect location to rest and enjoy the quiet. The house was clean, comfortable, and close to the beach. I would highly recommend it to anyone vacationing near the Indiana Dunes.
