Why compromise for your VIP gatherings Our returning guests enjoy the easy beach access, minimal steps to the main level, and two main floor suites for two sets of grandparents! Our private patio is the envy of the neighborhood, where you can enjoy your outdoor meals in relaxed comfort. Evenings are for stories and s'mores around the easy gas fire pit - no smoky, smelly hassle with firewood. Enjoy your Lake Michigan beach walks with a beverage in hand, barbecues on the oversized Weber grill, and the other two covered porches -- as private owner-operators, we have tried to deliver the perfect blend of convenience and elevated comfort for everyone.

This house is one of the original homes in Sheridan Beach. We have fully updated and upgraded the property with tasteful furnishings throughout, for the ideal comfortable getaway for family groups, corporate retreats, and reunions.

    This property could not have been more perfect! It was so clean, in an incredible location (literally steps to the beach boardwalk) and the owners could not have been more kind and helpful. Do not miss a chance to make memories here!

    My family and I had a wonderful stay. Craig was easy to work with and his communication was the best. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfy and the walk to the beach was so easy (even for my 82 year old mom). I highly recommend La Terrazza to any family looking to enjoy a summer in Michigan (Indiana)!!!

    House was large, clean, many amenities, and was only a block to the beach

    Great stay at La Terrazza! We had a large group of 14 adults and 7 children (ages 1 - 5) and it was very comfortable for all. Plenty of space on both first floor and second floor as well. Basement is recently finished with tons of storage space, kitchen and wash area. We did not need to leave the area because the beach is just a short walk away, but the local recommendations for groceries and take out were well appreciated. Looking forward to staying again in the future!

    It's rare to find a large home that can comfortably accommodate so many different couples and their children, but this one did! Loved the large back patio, two long picnic tables, and fire pit. It was a great place for all to gather and enjoy the weekend!

    We always have the best time staying at this property. The home has just the right balance of together space and private space for large parties (20+ people). It is clean, close to the beach and comes supplied with everything you'll need to create lasting memories for everyone!

    The space and location were perfect for a multi-generation family. The owners have provided all the amenities needed for a big family that likes to cook. The back patio and fire pit were the perfect gathering place at the end of the day.

    Our group really enjoyed their time at La Terrazza. This is an older home that has been renovated thoughtfully. The kitchen is not enormous but it is very functional and well-stocked. It was great to have six couples in the house who all had their own bathroom. The best part is the location - a very easy and safe walk to the beach access with mats along the dunes to help get wagons to the beach. We had some issues with appliances being finicky, but the owners were very responsive in helping us get them working. I would definitely recommend this property to any family looking for a Lake Michigan vacation.

    Our family of 19 people, ages 5 to 73, enjoyed our stay in Michigan City. The house had everything we needed... lots of plates, flatware and cooking stuff! Plenty of room for us to spend time together and privacy when we needed it. The homeowners were great and responsive. The house was clean and tidy! Will be going there again next year!
