Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As I have mentioned to staff, this condo needs updating. The outside furniture which I understand will be replaced is so rusty, I can’t imagine sitting on it. We like the location and for that reason will likely stay again. Please do not use my comments for any reason even by referring to my location. Any friend recommendation would be with a caveat about need for update. I think it is fair to say couch needs to be cleaned if not replaced.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was just as shown in the pictures. It is small but has two bedrooms (one is very small with bunk beds, good for kids) and a washer/dryer, which came in very handy for a beach vacation. Contrary to the info we were given, there was no dishwasher, but we really didn't miss it. The location was great - a short block to the pool and coffee shop, just off the main road. A few things to consider - it is on the second floor so be prepared to climb the stairs. The deck is small and the deck furniture is metal so not very comfortable. Inside, as it is small, there is limited seating. The couch was not very clean. The single non-kitchen chair was very old, with no springs left. Sitting in it was very uncomfortable. It would be nice if they replaced it with a newer one. We stayed only a few nights and it was just the two of us, so it was fine. With more people, or for a longer stay, it would not be our choice. We must add - the people onsite were very nice and helpful. We called maintenance for one small thing and someone came right away and solved the issue.

Bathroom and cabinets not in great shape. Doors would not lock. Fireplace would not work. One small tv on the floor. Deck wood was old with splinters. BBQ did not look like something we wanted to cook on. Overall, I would not recommend anyone to stay there.

Summary: The property doesn't over-promise and it worked out great for our purpose, which was to have a "home base" while visiting family nearby. While the kitchen and deck were great to have, I would't plan on spending too much time in the house as it is quite small! Great deck, relative privacy for the development. The Beachwalk resort itself seems good for families, we were a bit out of place as a group of four adults! Awesome beach access. Certainly preferable location-wise as compared with hotels in Michigan City or other properties with difficult access to beaches and local amenities.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I love this property. It's a small space, but it has a great deck. Altogether, it's a great space for two adults and two children. I only have a couple small complaints:• The cookware is sparse. It would be nice to have a complete, set of pots and pans. • Bizarrely, the tub had no handle with which to turn on the water. I luckily had a vice grip in my car, so we were able to make it work. I told the Beachwalk office about this issue. They were all very nice, as was the repair person who came over. However, the issue was never resolved, and if I'm honest, I think I could have done with more communication from the office. Even if they had just finally told me they couldn't get the part that week, I would've appreciated that.
