Welcome to Lakeshore Hideaway, your peaceful beach retreat just steps from McKinley Beach, one of Union Pier’s most beloved Lake Michigan beaches.

This charming, well-appointed home features 3 comfortable bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, ideal for families or small groups. The primary bedroom offers a queen bed, the second bedroom has two twin beds, and the third bedroom is perfect for kids or extra guests with a full/twin bunk.

Start your mornings with a walk along the shore, enjoy a day at the beach and rinse off in the outdoor shower when you return. Then spend your evening grilling out on the private patio with a gas grill and gather around the fire pit for s’mores and stargazing.

Located in the heart of Union Pier, Lakeshore Hideaway is a quick walk to local coffee shops, markets, and restaurants. You’re just minutes from the shops and dining in New Buffalo, and only 90 minutes from downtown Chicago, making this the perfect weekend escape or extended stay.

    Location was nice enough, but house was not the most well stocked compared to most short-teem rentals we’ve stayed at. If it’s a rainy day, be aware, TV doesn’t really work or connect to devices at all. They also send you a separate rental agreement outside of VRBO that you have to sign. They emailed us every day asking us to sign starting several weeks in advance. We continued to receive email requests even after we signed (about 2 weeks before we arrived). Even after we forwarded them the receipt of signature and our signed copy, we continued to get email requests and it continued daily, up until several days after we checked out. Finally, this is a personal pet peeve, the cleaning fee for our 3-day stay was over 200. Despite the hefty fee, they still including a long list of chores to be completed before checkout, including a checklist that needed to be signed, under threat of an additional heft fee.

    This little home in tucked away on a gravel street that is RIGHT across from beach access. It was the ideal location. The beds were very comfortable, and we were happy with our stay.

    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 had such a lovely time at this home! The kitchen was beautiful and so well-stocked with all the tools, bowls, and plates we needed. The bathroom towels were so nice, and the step stool for the little ones was a thoughtful touch. Thank you also for the new beach chairs—we really enjoyed using them! The short walk to the beach was perfect, and coming back to a clean home with the A/C keeping us cool during the hot week was a real plus. We also loved roasting marshmallows around the fire pit and grilling a couple of nights—everything worked perfectly! The home is just a few minutes from the beach—just pull your wagon down the road and walk down the stairs to the beautiful sands and water. It was a great spot for a week of fun before school starts, and we’re sure others will love it too for their next beach getaway or a fun-filled visit to Southwest Michigan!

    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: This rental is a three bedroom house with ample living room and kitchen space for a small family. The beach is one block away (does require the use of at least 30 stairs leading down to the beach.) The location is perfect for going to the beach and patronizing local restaurants and shops. We would stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We needed a house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms that was close to the beach. This fit the bill perfectly. It was such a clean and fresh smelling house- not a hint of mold. Kitchen and living room had a nice flowing layout. All of our children commented how they really enjoyed the house. A definite winner.
