Michigan City, Indiana
Bedrooms 6 | Bathrooms 3 | Sleeps 16
On the edge of Indiana Dunes National Park, in the acclaimed Beachwalk resort community on Lake Michigan, just one hour from Chicago, this house ('Moondance') and its perfect central location is a Beachwalk favorite. Unique among Beachwalk homes, Moondance has an open floor plan with a stunning cathedral ceiling perfect for hosting large family gatherings. Don't be fooled by new construction homes on tiny lots that provide sleeping space for many but provide virtually no living space--Moondance is huge and located on a large lot, with plenty of room to gather the family or friends, including a fabulous custom fire pit to gather the clan for marshmallow roasts.
Moondance has a fully stocked kitchen with granite counters and glass tile backsplash along with all new stainless-steel appliances. A large great room has seating for everyone, and porches and decks galore mean gathering spaces for the whole family, plus privacy when you want it. Indoor dining space for 16. Outdoor dining for another 16, plus a special outdoor kid's table that seats 8. Bedrooms (including both ground floor and second floor masters) with all the right touches will suit couples, children, grandparents and last-minute visitors. Moondance even comes complete with its own custom painted house golf cart (except in winter) for your use and enjoyment! Recently, Moondance' owners worked hard to finish the 1,000 square foot basement, which is now a playful rec room complete with 46-inch flat panel Tv, DVD player, and DirecTV with whole house DVR (there are five Tv's total in the house), and a multi-colored striped floor that kids love. (NOTE: The basement has 6 -foot ceilings, and thus is ideal for kids or for watching movies, but it is not habitable space by code and thus it cannot be used for sleeping.) In addition, Moondance is steps to everything Beachwalk has to offer community private pool, private tennis, basketball, and beach volleyball courts, a short walk to Beachwalk's own Lake Kai complete with free kayaks and stand-up paddle boards during the summer, custom sandcastle playground and, of course, Lake Michigan's most beautiful beach. Unlike many rental homes, the owners of Moondance put much of the rental income they receive into upgrading and improving the property each year. For example, this past off season the owners invested in all new furniture for the great room, including three new couches, and added a second full refrigerator (if you are like us, you arrive with a week's worth of food and need somewhere to put it!), and replaced all the deck handrails for increased safety. This house has everything you could possibly want. You will not regret it. Peak Season (June-August) Friday-Friday rentals only. Peak Season $12 per person/per week wristband fee charged by the Homeowners Association for use of pool charged on-site upon arrival. RESORT AMENITIES AND INFO * indicates a seasonal amenity.
4ft heated pool*, toddler pool*, basketball court*, tennis court, bocce ball court, shuffleboard*, Sandcastle playground, putting green, paddle boarding* and kayaking*, catch and release fishing. Parking Passes ($5 each) and Wristbands ($15 each) are required for all guests ages 4 and up mid-May through September.
Moondance rents with a 7-night minimum with check-in and check-out on Friday during peak season (mid-June to mid-August).

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 3rd trip to Beachwalk for the Labor Day weekend, and the 3rd house we stayed in. The resort itself is great, so much to do! The house this weekend was a little outdated, the stove didn't have a knob for one of the burners, dirty diapers and trash were left in two of our rooms, and the house could have used a good cleaning (baseboards and corners in the bathroom specifically). Overall the house had more than enough space for our group of 13, and the outdoor areas were great.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time at Beachwalk and it was exactly what we were looking for. Plenty to do for all ages. Our house accommodated our family perfectly and the location was great. The house cleanliness could have been better. We had little ones crawling and they would have black hands and knees after crawling on floor and rug. Housekeeping came to wash the floors which helped. We hesitated to turn the ceiling fans on as they were covered in thick dust and the dryer would not dry the clothing/towels even after cleaning the filter as the vent appeared to be dirty and full. Other than these issues, we loved Beachwalk and can’t wait to come back.

All of us had such a great experience that we would like to come back!
Great house with plenty of places to sleep. The area has great amenities like tennis, beach volleyball, a pool etc. The walk to the beach is short and pleasant.
Property was great for our annual family Thanksgiving!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice location. Near pool. Golf cart with property. 4 easy parking spots. Bedroom size good. Open kitchen. Nice fire pit with chairs. Home was dirtier than desired. Floors left feet pitch black.
Location and amenities were great. Proximity to fun family activities was perfect and the golf cart was needed for grandma. Property was a bit older than we thought from the images. Had enough places to sleep for our large group of 17. Wish we had a hand towel for each guest and a few extra bath towels. Also wish there were more towel racks in bathrooms to hang them to dry. Overall had everything we needed and would consider staying again.
An amazing time with my sons and great friends in Beachwalk. We loved the Music In The Park, fishing, the beach and the wonderful dinners made on the grill. Beautiful home with board games and laughter into the night. Can’t wait to stay again next year.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was a great size for the 11 of us including 4 kids. Plenty of places to gather with all the porches and indoor space. The golf cart was a big hit, too. Large kitchen and lots of cookware, plates, etc...Baking sheets need replacing-very burnt. Carpet needs replacing as it is very dirty. Kids’ feet were filthy after a short time. Mattresses in queen room with twin could use replacing. Sheets and towels were not the quality you would expect for the price of the rental. House was generally clean but I had to wipe down doors, handles and stair banisters. Location was excellent! We love the area and would possibly come back to Moondance.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Beachwalk and have been back several times over the years. Moondance was spacious, well stocked, and met all of our needs. There was a minor problem with the golf cart, and Beachwalk took care of it right away. Our family loves the community and is never bored with the new additions. We enjoy the pool, ping pong, sand volleyball, ice cream shop, shuffleboard, and kayaks. The proximity to the shore of Lake Michigan is an added bonus. My only suggestion is for the homes to be more thoroughly cleaned. The floors, baseboards, and walls need a good scrubbing.
