Charming Kid Friendly Cottage by Park in Beachwalk + Complimentary Golf Cart

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: My family loved our stay at Beachwalk. So much to do. The house was wonderful and we loved that it came with a golf cart. It really made it easy getting around to all the different activities and areas of the resort. The house was clean and had everything that we needed. Some things to improve would be an ice and water dispenser for the fridge and the bed on the first floor was really hot. Not sure if it was the mattress or sheets or both. I would recommend this house and resort to my friends and those looking for a great family beach vacation.

The location can’t be beat with it being close to the park and a short walk to the activity enter to rent paddle boards and kayaks. We had 3 kids with us and the top bunk was unusable. It made so much noise with the slightest turn that the person on the top and bottom bunk couldn’t sleep. We ended up having the top bunk kid sleep on the couch. The couch was a whole other story. It was so gross that they threw a blankets all over it to cover the stains and rips. I hate to complain because we had a great trip, but these houses are expensive and want to leave an honest review. The cleaning company did a great job. It was spotless. The house just needs someone to run through it and update beds and couches for the price you pay.

This was an amazing weekend!!! The property was beautiful and clean! One of the best trips we have had!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this just a couple days before our October fall break trip. The staff were wonderful to work with and provided a high chair at no additional cost. The home was clean and well maintained. It was much larger inside than I expected and each floor had its own room. It for our family of 5 perfectly. The full kitchen and large dining table were just what we needed compared to other homes we looked at. The couch was large to fit us all as well. And the egg chair was a hit! I do wish there was one pressure gate that we could rent or a couple of them that stay at this home for safety. We pushed two footstools to the bottom of the stairs to deter our baby climbing alone. Also the fire pit and outdoor back chairs sit in a tree covered area so you are continually dealing with acorns or squirrels overhead dropping them on you. If a few of the smaller trees were cut out, it looks like the landscaping goes further as does the rock area. It needs just a little updating in the back. The covered porch was great as well and we were able to watch deer in the mornings. And the golf cart was a fabulous addition being in the back of the complex. We loved our beach time and park play! A fabulous stay at manatee retreat! Thank you! Will come again! Can’t wait!

The neighborhood is like a beach community with a lot offered by the neighborhood. The golf cart was great taking us to the beach each day. The house was clean, stocked, and large. We would absolutely come here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Beachwalk. The house was clean upon arrival. There were some kitchen items that were missing, such as oven mitts. It would also be helpful to have some lamps in the living area. And the lamps in the bedrooms were not good for reading. Otherwise, we were happy with our stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second time staying at Beachwalk and our first time at Manatees Retreat. Overall, it was a great experience. Nice location near the playground and the golf cart made getting to the beach, pool, clubhouse very convenient. Appreciated beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, etc in the little shed. The house was clean, but not sparkling. One TV did not work at all, the others were a bit finicky. The couch needs to be replaced (lots of stains). Kitchen could use a little TLC - 1 cabinet door was broken, a few chipped dishes, no potholders. Fire ring was nice for an evening relaxing around a campfire. Screened in porch was lovely! A place to hang up wet towels might be nice if it could be added somewhere. 5 minute drive to restaurants and outlet mall in Michigan City.

Nice place

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect size for our party of 4, 3 generations. My mom stayed on the 1st floor in the larger bedroom with bath. I utilized the 2nd floor bedroom (comfy bed) with my kids on the top floor. Loved the golf cart (made my mother's mobility much easier) and beach chairs, umbrella, etc... Kitchen sized just right for us. New grill- we used it to grill fresh caught salmon from Lake Michigan that AM. This is our 3rd stay in the resort area (1st at this house). Good location. Cons were: 2nd fl bedroom has very little storage for clothes. Two drawers are nailed shut. The third has the nails protruding from them, which snagged my clothes and was a safety hazard. I did alert resort staff via the feedback form. The 3rd floor bunk bed is so noisy it wakes everyone when the person in the bunk moves (lots of squeaks and creaks). An AC type unit on the 3rd floor is necessary to keep the cool temp, but very loud, so you couldn't hear the TV when it was on unless you turned it up very loud.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at Manatees Retreat! We were traveling with two kids and four adults and the house was perfect for us. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had all the necessary things, and everything was clean. We loved being by the playground and the golf cart was a favorite way to travel around Beachwalk. The small fire pit in the back was perfect for s’more making. We had two minor complaints: - there was limited hot water for baths/showers and we all experienced cold showers throughout the stay - the screened in porch needed some cleaning Overall, great stay and we would stay again!
