Meg was so accommodating and friendly throughout the entire process. I would definitely stay at any of her properties in the future.

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.

When we asked questions about the area and concierge services for our celebration, they were attentive and helpful.

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.

We rented bikes from Outpost while spending a long weekend in New Buffalo. We stopped by in person…read morethe day before to reserve two adult bikes and were told that they would be ready for pickup the next day at 11 am. Unfortunately, when we arrived at 11, the bikes weren't back from the previous rental pickup until close to 12 and then it took additional time for them to get them off the truck, get us helmets, etc. Since we had only rented them for a day, it was frustrating to have to wait around in the store not knowing when the bike truck would show back up. I wish the staff would have had a better understanding of the plans for the next day so that we could have spent our vacation time doing something more fun. Once we got the bikes, they were in good condition and rode well. We enjoyed riding around New Buffalo, Union Pier, and Three Oaks.

They had scheduled appointment customers they were helping and managed to work us right in without neglecting them. Art and Shelly are fair, knowledgeable and extremely kind. Art spent so much time with us explaining the ebike world to us and making sure we made an informed decision with test rides and answering all our questions. Before we left he made sure everything was fit and working properly to our satisfaction and patiently making changes to our needs. I feel confident Art and Shelly will continue to support our purchase above and beyond should we have any future problems or repairs. Our maiden trip was 18 miles on some hill country that I certainly would not have entertained on my mountain bike. In my late 50's it has opened up a whole new world of possibilities and much needed exercise. If you are considering an ebike go to RAR first!
