It's absolutely the worst customer service I have ever encountered in hospitality. They have nice properties listed, but don't count on your vacation sticking. We received an *email* two weeks before our rental that it was canceled due to "scheduling issues." (It had been reserved since November for week in July.) That's it, no call, no explanation, and no effort to try to remedy the situation. Despite the email saying we would receive a full refund, we have not. I have left over a dozen voicemails and no one has returned my calls.

Think twice before signing an agreement to allow Vacasa to rent out your home or summer home! Of…read morethe things that have been maddeningly frustrating are their communications and not following up on things agreed on. Vacasa seems to be under-staffed at all levels - local, state and national out of Portland Oregon, a world away from our Michigan property. When pricing defaulted to 'dyamic' pricing, it was far below what we agreed on as our minimum nightly or weekly charge. We have 'no pet' policy in place, and the first two weeks of the summer had guests show up with dogs! We were told Vacasa would designate where guests were to park. Instead, they parked all over our yard and lawn area. Cleaning between guests was quick (about an hour for multiple buildings) and not always complete. In the positive column, cleaning was always finished on time and the linens provided (Homeowner pays for them) were nice quality.

Water, Water Everywhere, Leaking from the Ceiling and Up From the Floors - 400 Beachwalk, Michigan…read moreCity, Indiana If you're searching for a Michigan City vacation rental, Beachwalk Community rental home, Indiana Lake Michigan beach house, or a family-friendly vacation home near the beach, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere before booking Take It Easy at 400 Beachwalk. Unfortunately, our stay was impacted by multiple major maintenance and water intrusion issues that made large portions of the property unusable. The most concerning issue was large amounts of groundwater leaking up through a floor drain on the ground level, resulting in standing water and creating an unpleasant environment. Additionally, groundwater was overflowing from the ground-level toilet, raising significant concerns about the property's drainage, plumbing, and overall maintenance. The problems became even worse when we discovered that a cracked shower in the upper-level bathroom was leaking substantial amounts of water into a first-floor bedroom below. Water drained through the ceiling for over 12 hours, causing visible damage and making the bedroom unusable for the duration of our stay. As a result, we also lost access to the upstairs bathroom, significantly reducing the functionality of the home and creating a major inconvenience for our group. When you book a premium Michigan City VRBO, Beachwalk resort rental, Lake Michigan vacation home, or Indiana beach getaway, you expect a clean, well-maintained property that is ready for guests. Instead, we dealt with groundwater intrusion, plumbing failures, water damage, moisture issues, and the loss of critical living space. These issues negatively affected our vacation and did not reflect the quality advertised for a Beachwalk Community rental property. For travelers looking for a Michigan City beach vacation, Beachwalk Community lodging, Lake Michigan rental property, Northwest Indiana vacation home, weekend beach getaway, or luxury beach house rental in Michigan City, I would recommend thoroughly researching alternatives and staying far away from this property. The management company, Third Coast Vacations, had to send maintenance people out on four separate occasions to deal with the above issues, further impacting our stay. On the fourth occasion, one stood in the main room, patted me on the shoulder, and told me, "We would be taken care of," insinuating they cared about us. However, after checking out, that could not have been further from the truth. Communication had to be initiated by us for any resolution, and that resolution is a far cry from making up for all that we experienced in this trip. The combination of groundwater flooding, toilet overflow, ceiling leaks, water damage, unusable bedrooms, and loss of bathroom access made this one of the most disappointing vacation rental experiences we've had. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend Take It Easy at 400 Beachwalk, Michigan City, Indiana, and would not consider staying here again or recommending anyone else risk a vacation at this house. EDIT: The owner mentions a "healthy refund" in their response. I guess we have different definitions of what "healthy" and "taken care of" mean from this rental company.

The company provided a detailed manual of instructions, attractions, and notes (Wi-Fi, lock box) prior to check-in. We were also surprised with some sweet treats and a bottle of wine upon arrival. The Black House on Beech is a small stunner called The Starling. Perhaps The Startling might be more apropos because it is a 2-story 3BR, 2BA house on a small footprint painted a pure matte black. Inside is modern and simple, decorated in black and white. They've considered every comfort -- there's a sauna, a hot tub, fire pit and hammock-- outside. Connect to the house Wi-Fi, watch a movie, play some tunes on the turntable, challenge your companions to a few board games--inside. Or walk a few minutes to Staymaker Restaurant at Journeyman Distillery, stock up on staples at Froehlich's Kitchen & Pantry, or enjoy a casual lunch/brunch at Oaks Eatery. This is a fine getaway for a small group or family. We only had a small mixup with the Wi-Fi but they were very responsive and this was cleared up right away. All the amenities at a small and quiet oasis. We didn't use the sauna but will be ready to try it on a return visit.

The house was beautifully appointed, with a fantastic pool, hot tub, and breathtaking views. But more important than the house was the service and the "little extras" provided by Juniper Holiday + Home.

When we asked questions about the area and concierge services for our celebration, they were attentive and helpful. I can't say enough great things about the entire experience--my friend loved every moment of her celebratory vacation!

Have had unbelievable experience with Agents from Rubloff out of their New Buffalo Offices in working with them over the past 8yrs on the purchase of both my primary and second homes and have referred them to a few friends as well who have been extremely grateful for the referral. When I was told Prudential Rubloff had acquired the rental company formerly known as New Buffalo Vacation Rentals, I was more than happy to give them a try this year to rent out our second home. We've rented only once before but by a smaller organization in the area. I was looking forward to having my home professionally managed and thought a larger company with Prudential Rubloff's reputation might be better. We signed a contract with them April 1st and they've recently found us a renter for the summer.

I can't speak for their other properties, but I assume they're nicely furnished and equally enjoyable. No issues with the property at all. It really was as if a family, who enjoyed hanging out and having fun, vacated their house for our use. I give 4 stars instead of 5, because I think the rental agreement is a wee bit knit-picky and also because there was a slight glitch with the payment...however Dan, the owner, personally took care of the issue immediately. In the end, everything turned out just fine. Just follow all the rules and there shouldn't be any issues. We slept 14 guys comfortably, although we did bring some air mattresses. Dan stopped by when we first arrived, just to make sure everything was OK, then we didn't see him again. If you're considering renting in New Buffalo, I recommend looking at some of New Buffalo Vacation Rentals, and I specifically recommend 'As Good as it Gets'.

It's located in a small neighborhood, at the end of a quiet street. -The interior design is absolutely amazing! It's such a cute gem of a place.

I cannot recommend this place enough! Do yourself a favor and take a little vacation here!
