Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Michiana Shores

Christiana’s place was exactly as described and perfect for a weekend getaway! It’s an adorable house, tranquil backyard, and walkable to everything- the beach, restaurants, bars, and the grocery store. You can literally park and not drive again until you leave. Christiana was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We definitely would love to come back! If you’re a couple or foursome, this place is the perfect size with plenty of space.

We had the most amazing week at The Treehouse! It is a beautiful house-so cozy, had everything we needed and we immediately felt at home! Our kids loved the loft space. We loved the area guide that was provided-we found amazing food, beaches and shopping! We’re already dreaming of our next trip back!

The excellent taste of the hosts sets this rental apart from the rest. The decor in the home is beautifully curated. When you combine that with the views, it's a perfect vacation spot! We were grateful to be able to return for our fourth visit to Charles and Jeremy's home. Thank you for sharing it with us--we love it!

My wife and I looked for a place to stay as we celebrated our 11-year anniversary for a night away from the kids — and Rina and John’s place was just what we were looking for! We had all we needed, felt comfy and at home, and enjoyed some snacks and a movie after a day of being out and about. If we ever go back to Michigan City, we’ll definitely look up Rina’s place again. 10/10 recommend!

My wife, our dog and I stayed at the farmhouse for a long weekend to relax away from the city. It was the perfect country escape- peaceful, tranquil and still a quick drive to everything we wanted to explore. We mostly went to New Buffalo for restaurants and kayaking, and to the Indiana Dunes for hiking. The farmhouse was tastefully decorated with upscale amenities (like the coffee maker we decided to purchase when we got home). Mornings were spent reading on the screened in porch, listening to the birds and watching the chickens outside. There’s plenty of seating if you have a larger group, with tables inside and outside for meals. Stefanie was a wonderful host, her guidebook has great recommendations of things to do in the area and she gave very helpful instructions for the house. We definitely hope to return sometime as it’s so close to Chicago! Perfect weekend trip.

Was a great space for a few friends trying to get away for a little. Really enjoyed all the extras to the house like the ping pong table and grill.

Had a great stay over Memorial Day weekend.! The house was clean and instructions were precise making check in simple. We loved the layout of the house that provided a comfortable space to connect as well as the 3 bedrooms giving us each some personal space for sleeping.

Totally enjoyed our stay. The house felt like home. Very comfortable, clean. We enjoyed the fire pit (fire already laid for us), all the puzzles, and the bikes to ride around the quiet neighborhood. Saw lots of deer and wildlife. Kitchen had everything we needed, lots of bath towels and hooks. Beds were comfortable. We appreciated the flexible check-in and check-out times. We want to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the huge screened in porch and to see the garden.

Great place. I wish I would have gotten there at check-in time, so I could have enjoyed the river more!

Super clean, quiet, and cozy but stocked with everything you need and just a few blocks from Valpo campus and the downtown eateries. Really just a perfect spot, and only about 30 minutes drive from all parts of Indiana Dunes NP. Also, Diana was a very gracious and kind host! Would love to stay here again the next time I'm in town!

Cute apartment, close to downtown Bridgman. Check in and out was very easy. Larry was communicative. I would definitely stay there again.

Loved my stay! The farm was gorgeous and so peaceful and rejuvenating. Wish I could’ve stayed longer and would definitely stay again. Dan and Suzanne were friendly and helpful and the apartment was comfortable, well-equipped and beautifully decorated. 5 stars!

We had another great stay at Mari-Beth’s place, and we look forward to staying a third time in the future.

We had an awesome long weekend at Morton's Retreat. We loved visiting Three Oaks and Sawyer, and going on a few short hikes nearby. We especially loved grabbing drinks at the Historian. The Airbnb is on a busy road, but there is a bike path that runs by it and it's a short walk to Luisa's Swedish bakery, which was excellent. The place was clean and even a bit larger than we expected. Great for a relaxing long weekend.

We had an amazing time! Me and my boyfriend stayed for one night, the patio and dock were super cozy and we really enjoyed sitting out there at night just listening to music and having some drinks. Super nice area, the beach isn't too far and they have some fun bars and restaurants in the area. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

We've stayed here a few times and keep coming back. Great location and amenities along with a stocked fire pit and a hot tub. What more could you ask for? Hannah is the best!

Highly recommended! Conveniently located for Notre Dame (go Irish!), pristine condition, kitchen & bathrooms well supplied, comfy & relaxing atmosphere. Very responsive host (one minor issue was fixed the same day with great communication). It was above our expectations - look forward to staying again!

Let me begin by saying we can’t wait to stay again. The location was absolutely amazing, particularly if you, like us, adore sunsets. We enjoyed the walk to the beach which is on the property and found the sunsets breathtaking. The beach is beautiful and allowed us to walk three miles. The unit was very clean and had what we needed. We were able to cook in two nights and enjoy a Saugutuck restaurant one evening. Patricia was very communicative and was prompt in responses to questions. We simply could not have enjoyed a better stay. We look forward to coming back.

Met expectations in every way. Clean, well maintained condo. Great location with several restaurants within walking distance, and a 10 minute walk to the beach. Beach gear was provided. Well stocked kitchen amenities and board games. Host responded quickly to all emails. Very well run. Easy all the way around.

Great place for New Buffalo. Close to the downtown. Place is spacious, good outdoor seating, pool is really nice.

This condo was super-clean. We loved the balcony, where we could relax after climbing dunes with our grandkids! Good mattresses (our daughter & husband took the upstairs bedroom) and we appreciated the king-sized beds. There is quite a tall stairway to climb to get to the 2nd floor. Otherwise, easy access (we used the August app) from the parking lot.

We stayed here for my sisters bachelorette weekend, it was perfect! Everything is within walking distance or a short drive away! Would definitely come again.

The penthouse was the perfect spot for a family getaway! Rooms were large and well laid out, kitchen had everything we needed, the Michigan city and new Buffalo had lots of great restaurants for dining out or takeout. Everything was immaculately clean, René was responsive, friendly, and helpful. The outside and the neighborhood do not reflect the gem inside! We had a really comfortable stay, and will definitely be back!

Ashley was a great host! She provided clear instructions for check-in/check-out, had nice local recommendations, and was extremely responsive. I also appreciated that she was willing to accommodate my travel dates near the last minute due to a death in my family. The unit was very clean and well-stocked. I loved the beautiful views from each window and the quiet, serene environment. Although I could hear the train at night, it was not super loud - kinda just like background noise. I actually found it to be peaceful (maybe because I’m from the city lol). Would love to visit again! :)
