Summary: A short getaway before daughters moved back to college. Enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the Dunes State and National parks. Grateful for owners that are pet-friendly as our guy is a family member and loves outdoor adventure. Appreciated the quick response and resolution to address an issue with the water heater during our stay.

Summary: My overall impression of the Dunehaven is very positive. The house was very clean. They thought of everything- clean towels, fresh linen, extra pillows, blankets and pillowcases for our use. The kitchen was sticked with dishes, pots, pans and more. Even shampoo, conditioner and body wash. That was amazing. The hot tub and grill outside were also nice amenities. We walked to the beach and had a beach brunch from my daughter's Fifteenth birthday. It is close by, a five minute drive. The only criticism I have for the house is that we could not control the temperature the way we wanted to. At some point, Some of the girls were cold and we could not adjust the thermostat higher than 77°, or even turn off the air once the house was extremely cool. I don't like the fact that someone put a lock on the thermostat to not go past certain temperatures. That is an issue for me to have someone else controlling the temperature of the house when we are the ones in the house. Being too cold or too hot is extremely uncomfortable, especially when I believe the owners' goal is to make guests as comfortable as possible. Other than that, I do understand the noise concerns, so we did not play any loud music at all, and the TV volume was also at a moderate level throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this home. The beds are comfortable. There was enough space for all of us. We left the house very clean- in the condition it was in when we arrived out of respect and common courtesy.

Summary: The house was recently remodeled so it was pretty nice. The back deck was perfect and really nice. The ring door bell lets the property manager spy on you. For some odd reason there is no parking in front of the house so when we had guests over I got a text telling me that they needed to move the car. This no parking in front of the house. the only signs in Miller beach for no street parking are in front of this house everywhere else has street parking. We could not adjust the thermostat. This house is older so the back bedrooms were hot. You are not allowed to adjust the thermostat so be prepared to be hot if you stay here. Hot water really took a long time to get hot and we ran out it every night after everyone showered. The Dish washer didn't work so we had to do dishes by hand every night. It would appear the property owner is not local and the management company does a poor job. There are nicer properties to stay in. I would not recommend this one.

Summary: Six ladies all family were celebrating 2 of us turning 60. The house was very modern with a great layout and nice outdoor entertaining area. Our only suggestion would be its time to replace the mattress's in each room.

Summary: This rental by far is one of the best rentals I’ve rented and I rent 5+ a year. Very clean and updated home with plenty of space. Comfy beds, plenty of blankets and pillows. Fully stocked kitchen with all the Necessities! Also was very impressed with the stocked coffee, toilet paper, trash bags, spices that came with it. This is not typical for a rental. They typically leave you enough for a day. We were there for 5 days and still didn’t run out! There was enough parking and the double garage was helpful! The outdoor space was lovely. Fenced yard, gas fire pit and grill. Hot tub with an outdoor shower. Very quiet neighborhood! 5min walk to lake beach. This place was lovely and we will rent this again when we come back to town.

Summary: My family and I enjoyed a relaxing stay at Dunehaven! We wanted to visit Indiana State Dunes to experience a beach made from a natural lake. It was cold in May, but didn't stop of from enjoying the sun and sand. The hot tub was easy to use and firepit at night was needed after a long day. The home was clean, inviting and the beach was so close. Literally, it was just a two minute drive. I recommend getting out and exploring the road towards the Michigan state line. Michigan City is only thirty minutes down the road from Dunehaven and has great shopping. We also visited the Michigan City zoo since we had little ones with us. The zoo was quaint, affordable and a tower you can climb to see the dune beach nearby. Certainly a different perspective from the top. We also visited Grand Beach, Michigan. Beautiful homes and small little beach with public access. There was a great deal of road work going on near the home so that was a bit chaotic at times. Dunehaven is a beautifully curated home, modern decor, and the amentities are all you need for cooking, watching the sunset at the nearby beach, and enjoying an evening with family at night. Thanks for a great stay. ps...the customer service is incredible.

Summary: Started off rough, but finished okay. Garage door opener didn’t open the door, because it was disconnected from the opener. Two of us Got stung by bees from a grounds nest near the deck, and we had no hot water for the majority of the first day. We entered from the front door and came through the house and discovered the door situation, after several calls about the hot water and trying different things a maintenance person came about 10:00 pm and flipped a switch behind a security door and we had hot water instantly. They did bring a can of bee and wasp spray the next morning and took care of the bees. House was nice, great appliances and plenty of plates and silverware. Looks like they are adding another bedroom in the basement which would be a nice addition. One and a half bathrooms made it tough for our large group, but made it work. A lot of road and bridge construction in the area, but only temporary . But the location to a very nice and quite beach was perfect. I’m sure without all these small but still inconveniences, the stay would have been very nice.

Summary: From checking-in to check-out a great experience. this property fit our style and needs perfectly for a short weekend get-a-way. Really loved the kitchen in this property, had everything one needs and the bedrooms/bathrooms are all updated and comfy. The only thing we couldn't get to work was the tv stuff, but we're not normal Roku users and although the instructions were clear we kept getting a connectivity to the internet warning. it's okay we all had our own devices and apps but if someone was looking to use the tv, might want to check it. We did use the hottub and patio, which is really a nice set-up. We didn't use the grill but would if we returned. And we very well may return. If we find ourself needing a weekend in the area, we'd most definitely book again.
