Shore Thing is located near the beautiful sandy beaches of Lake Michigan, in a prime Beachwalk location (3rd house from Lake Shore Drive!). The house is located in the acclaimed Beachwalk community.

Shore Thing has six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, plus sofa bed in the finished basement. We have plenty of space for your family get-together, with plenty of bedrooms and plenty of gathering and entertaining space inside and outside! Plus, the perfect location close to Lake Michigan and the Beachwalk pool. Shore Thing is one of only a handful of wheelchair accessible homes in Beachwalk, so everyone in the family can be included in the fun!

The first floor has an open plan with the kitchen and living room, with plenty of space for the entire family to gather. Eat in kitchen, 4 seats at the kitchen island, 10 seats at the reclaimed wood kitchen table. The living room has a fireplace and Smart TV with YouTube HDTV. The finished basement features another separate large living area, with ping pong table, wet bar, full bath, board games, HDTV, and Nintendo Wii gaming system. The basement sectional also has a pull out couch.

There are also plenty of outdoor spaces for the family to enjoy! The front lower porch is screened in and has a picnic table for six with additional seating. We have a brand new large Weber natural gas grill. The upper porch has seating and views of Beachwalk Lane, and the 3rd floor porch has views of the dunes and across Beachwalk.

Shore Thing is child friendly with booster seat, pack n' play, and ample games and toys. We also have beach chairs, coolers, and wagons.

There are 6 bedrooms across 3 floors, 2 on the first floor, 3 on the second floor, and 1 on the third floor, plus a sofa bed in the basement.

The master suite has a king bed, plus the private master bath with a large newly renovated bathroom and access to the 2nd floor deck. The second floor also features a queen bedroom, with access to a private back deck, and to the Jack N Jill bathroom. And the 3rd bedroom on the second floor is set up for the kids with a twin-over-full that also adjoins the Jack-N-Jill. All three second floor bedrooms have flat-screen smart TVs.

On the 3rd floor there is a daybed with trundle, the perfect escape for the tweens, older cousins or the aunts or uncles who need some space. The 3rd floor also has a desk for the family member who needs to check in at the office during the vacation (hey, it happens!), Smart TV, and access to the 3rd floor deck with gorgeous views! Conference calls or maybe some yoga al fresco, anyone

The first floor has two bedrooms. The wheelchair-friendly bedroom has a queen bed and full bath with accessible sink and shower. And a kid-friendly bedroom with twin over full bunk beds.

The Beachwalk community features various amenities unique to our community. Highlights are the pool and kiddie pool, basketball court, tennis courts, playground, cafe, and man made Lake Kai that is ideal for family fishing, kayaking, or paddle boarding.

While Lake Michigan steps away is the major highlight, there is so much more to experience in the surrounding area! Shore Thing is located less than one and a half miles from Washington Park, the Michigan City Zoo, The Blue Chip Casino, and Lighthouse Place Outlet Mall. Just down the road is Mt. Baldy (a fun, easy family hike!) and the Indiana Dunes National Park. Slightly further are many more beaches in southwest Michigan, and many breweries and wineries! Great restaurants and shopping can be found in Downtown Michigan City and every town in Southwest Michigan.

Long term off season rental also available, contact us for discounted long term rental rates!

We are excited to share our home with you and your family. Upon booking a reservation with us you will receive a copy of our rental agreement for review and signature. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have as you are planning your vacation or after booking with us.

    Great location! Easily fit 12 adults with plenty of eating space and sleep areas. Close walk to the beach and plenty of beach supplies (wagon, chair, toys). We felt very safe in the neighborhood, which was very family-friendly.

    Best house we’ve stayed in so far after coming for ten years. Excellent location, very clean, and I redo it well stocked.

    The property was as good as advertised. The location is perfect being just three houses from the boardwalk to the beach. Getting two wagons full of beach gear and toys to the beach was a breeze! Close proximity to the resort's pool was also a plus for us.The house was clean and orderly upon arrival. The bedroom setae accommodated our family with small children quite well (Two 3 years old, and two 1 year old). The kitchen was well equipped, Having small children, we ate in for most meals and the kids were happy. The supply of linens was good for our group. Our group of eleven tended to gather in the open great room/kitchen area where there was plenty of seating and room for the kiddos to play.I would also like to compliment our host Jason who reached out several times over the week to make sure that our stay was perfect. I highly recommend Shore Thing and hope that your family has as much fun as we did!

    Our family and extended family has been coming to Beachwalk community for years. This was one of three houses in the community that we rented for the week. This house clearly had the best up keep, had toys for the little people, was clean, was close to the beach and the owner was super polite and responsive to me. This was a fantastic place to stay!

    Extended family coming up for funeral. The location was perfect, easy walk to the boardwalk/beach and close to the pier/Washington Park. The neighborhood is great- parks for the kids, fishing pier on Lake Kai, pool was closed but it looked great, basketball courts, tennis courts- so perfect and fun for the whole family! The house was clean, had everything we need. Plenty of towels which is so nice in a Vrbo! Lots of beds. The only downside was all but one (and that was a half bath) of the bathrooms were only accessible via a bedroom which made it hard for the person on the 3rd floor daybed and for the main floor twin/full bunk room- they only had access to a shower in the basement or through one of the other bedrooms. One added bonus was the house was handicap accessible- we have family that came for dinner one evening who uses a wheelchair and the ramp made it easy for them to enter and the space was easy to move around in. One of the bedrooms/bathrooms is also accessible as is the neighborhood boardwalk to the beach so that is an added bonus for those who need it. Lots of board games and video games for the kids and a ping pong table. Overall a perfect house for who we had on our trip which covered ages 8 to 90!

    This house was perfect. We are a group of sisters and sisters-in-law that get together every year for a weekend. This house was close to the beach and the pool. It was clean. The bedrooms were exactly as pictured. Beds were comfortable. Communication was prompt. I really can’t say enough good things about the house and the hosts.

    We had a wonderful week here. 3-generation party of 12, this home was great for older family members - it has a nice ramp to enter the home, zero-entry shower and spacious kitchen and gathering space on the 1st floor so everyone can hang out together. Great updates to decking and new CARPET on the 2nd and 3rd floor made the home very cozy and enjoyable! Teen boys had a blast in the basement with gaming, mini arcade, and ping pong.

    Three generations enjoyed the home. Grateful for the ramp and wagon to move kids and STUFF to and from pool. Beach sunsets, ice cream and day trips to surrounding little towns made this a wonderful vacation.

    We loved the house in Michigan City. It was a cool weather weekend but the walk to the beach was very easy. It rained one day but the house is equipped with a family friendly basement! Jason was very quick to respond to any question we had. Great host!

    My family and I spent the weekend here celebrating my mom's 75th b-day. With ages ranging from 2-75 years, I had to make sure the property would be comfortable enough for all and spacious for the teens and kids to run around/hang out. The home was well-stocked with kitchen essentials, rooms were comfortable and the property allowed everyone to have fun for the weekend. Would highly recommend.
