7 Bedroom Lake Shore Dr. Beach Home - NEWLY BUILT HOME! Steps to the beach!

It’s a great place to stay with a large group for a Notre Dame football weekend. Nice view of Lake Michigan from the deck.

This location was perfect and the home was large enough to meet our group’s needs. The common areas were also large and open, easily accommodating our size group. We enjoyed the beach! The hosts were responsive when we had questions. The home also left a bit to be desired - it was clear there was some water damage to the home at one time and many areas that had been patched, but not sanded or painted. TV and fan remotes were either missing or didn't have batteries. There were some drainage/plumbing issues in the upstairs bathroom. The furniture was worn and dated. Cleaning service also appeared to have skipped an entire bathroom.

Great place for large group gathering! Super convenient for going to the beach!

So close to the beach! Great big home. As described. Could use more paper towels, bar soap, shampoo and conditioner. Overall, very comfortable.

Visiting the Indiana National Park was the goal which we accomplished but I would NOT recommend the VRBO at Lake Shore Dr that was a 7 bedroom beach home. There was too many things in disrepair and did NOT even come close making it a pleasant place to stay. Some of the major issues include a non working kitchen sink drain, HVAC didn’t work after the second night, fire alarms going off at all times during day and night, cold water faucet broken on jacuzzi and bath tub drains not holding water. Also it was very unsafe for having a crawling infant as screen doors to front deck were ripped. No baby gates to keep crawling infant off all the stairs or a working & safe Pack n Play. After arriving home from trip, I composed a list of 26 items that needed the owner’s attention. Owner was notified immediately as soon as issues arose or were identified. I felt that I got a run around when corresponding to owner. Most of the things were issues that had been there for quite sometime.My husband and son in law have 60 years of home construction between them as well as years as a building inspector. The few items I have identified in this message are all safety and health code violations!

We had plenty of room for all 17 of us, however, if you have trouble climbing stairs it’s not for you.

We had a fantastic time together.

This house was huge and the bedrooms and bathrooms were most sufficient and comfortable. The host was very easy to work with and accommodating on a few small issues we had. The access to the lake and beachfront was so easy and accessible. Beautiful beach. There were 10 of us and this property was more than sufficient for us. It does need a bit of tender loving care though. The sun porch was dirty and the metal strip on the stove was coming off. A few towel racks had come down and not been replaced but just left with the mounting hardware. Little things like that which made it good not excellent on the review

The home is tidy and stocked at the level expected of a rental but not super clean. The microwave by all appearances should function - timer runs and it makes noise but doesn't heat anything which is tough when eating out and with children. Overall a nice stay, easy check in and out, and great access to the private beach a short walk away.

The house is in a great location and has lots of space but needs a deep cleaning and updates. We found hairs in a couple of the beds and had to wash all the sheets before we could use them. One of the bedrooms in the basement had numerous cobwebs in it and no one could use it. Not to mention that the closest is unfinished and the room has no baseboards. There is mold in the basement shower and every shower curtain in the house had pink mold on the bottom. The floors where extremely dirty and didn't appear to have been swept before we arrived. There are towel racks missing in the bathrooms. We contacted the host to express our concerns during our stay and got no response. The house is definitely not as nice as reflected in the online pictures. The kitchen is well equipped and the house provides many beach amenities but that doesn't make up for the condition of the house that we experienced.

We were a large group- 5 families. We all fit in the house with plenty of room. Kitchen and eating area work well for big meals. Beach access was perfect. House is a little run down, but all just cosmetic and what I expect from a vacation rental. I would rent again.

We had a family gathering for 18 people and had plenty of room for everyone. We were able to park 5 vehicles with no issues in the driveway. The house is across the street from the beach with a short walk.
