Rivera House-fun and comfort steps from the beach

The owner needs to buy a WHISK for the kitchen. The walk to the beach is one-minute. Very beautiful. We used it to commute to Chicago. Worked fine for that. Don't let Gary, Indiana be an issue. We loved the area and walk to the beach in the morning. Light in the windows in the morning was very welcome. You can see Lake Michigan from the kitchen windows.

We had a great stay! There was enough room for my large family and the property was clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s important to note that this property has a lot of stairs (I would add that in the listing for those with small children, elderly, or disabled). Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay, although it was for a sad occasion.

Everything was great aside for a confusion with the entry PIN. The actual number in the message sent was different from the information sent over in the email.

Outstandingly Superb...Excellent Location. Very Accommodating. Very clean and close to beach. Absolute gem.

We loved the openness of the house and the amenities. Plenty of games and beach toys. Some of the door locks didn’t work which was tricky with different families and privacy. The pots and pans need replaced.

A delightful time in a comfortable, clean, interesting home. We had a great time in the home and on Lake Michigan, a two minute walk away. Hope to get back here.

The place was such a cool spot that was close to the beach and had plenty of space for sleeping. The unit had everything you needed and more. The owners were very helpful and quick to respond with needs. Will definitely be back!

We had a truly wonderful stay! We were a group of 4 adults and 5 kids ranging from 2.5 to 9 years old, and this home was absolutely perfect for us. One of the highlights was watching the fireworks right from the deck—shot off from the beach nearby. The proximity to the beach couldn't have been better! Just a short climb over the dune and we were on the sand.The house was stocked with everything we needed and more. Tons of beach gear, chairs, umbrellas, and floats made our beach days super convenient. And the kitchen was a dream! I’ve never stayed anywhere with such a well-appointed kitchen—every pot, pan, and gadget you could imagine was there. Cooking for a group was a breeze.Inside, there was more than enough space for everyone to spread out comfortably. The bedrooms had ice-cold AC, cozy bedding, and plenty of room. The living area was equally inviting with comfy couches and great TVs for winding down after long beach days. The kids loved the bunk room, hanging out and watching TV on the giant beanbag chair. The firepit and grilling area were perfect for evening hangouts, and there was ample parking for all of us.Inga was a fantastic host—responsive, helpful, and made everything easy. Check-in and check-out were smooth and simple. The home itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and felt modern and welcoming. We truly loved every moment and are already talking about coming back. Can’t recommend this place enough!

We stayed here while visiting Lake Michigan. The house was amazing and had a great location to the lake. It’s in a quiet spot, and is right at the beach access. The owner is very helpful and had the pullout and trundle set up and ready for us! We would recommend here and stay here again if ever in the area!

We loved the house and the proximity to the beach. Perfect for a quick getaway.

We were a group of two families with a mix of kids. The number of beds and the options to configure sleeping arrangements provided flexibility for our group. Beds, sheets and pillows were very comfortable, many extra blankets and bedding, if needed. Kitchen was outfitted well, we had everything we needed to stay at home and cook. Living area was bright and airy with a fresh aesthetic, nice space for a large group. Plenty of beach and bath towels, with the ability to wash at the end of the day. Even shampoo and conditioners were provided, a simple but nice convenience as we all forgot! Beautifully landscaped, terraced back yard with Adirondack chairs and Solo Stove (firewood was available). Access to beach was about 2 minutes by slow stroll. Owner encouraged us to use beach chairs, paddle boards, games, etc for fun at the beach. Neighbors were very friendly. We spent a day on Eastern side of Dunes National Park, and comparatively, Miller Beach (home’s location) was by far the nicest beach we came across. Very fine, soft sand with gradual ocean grade compared to other beaches that were rocky with a steeper grade. Short-ish walk to Marquette Park. Pay attention to daily wind warnings and rip currents. The owner responded quickly to questions and was open and accommodating. Highly recommended!
