7 Bedroom Lake Shore Dr. Beach Home - NEWLY BUILT HOME! Steps to the beach!

Our newly built home is directly across from the beach path (beach stop 11) on Lake Shore Drive. The house was completed in June 2018. The house has an open layout - the kitchen opens up to the living/dining rooms. The house has 7 bedrooms, 4 baths, a fully finished walk out basement, a big front deck and a screened in porch in back.

Our home has 7 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms. The bedroom layouts are as follows:

Master Bedroom - 1 king bed, TV, private bathroom with shower and tub
2nd Bedroom - 1 queen bed
3rd Bedroom - 1 queen bed
4th Bedroom - 1 full bed, 1 twin bed
5th Bedroom - 1 king bed
6th Bedroom - 1 queen bed
7th Bedroom - 2 bunk beds, both twin over full, and 1 additional twin bed

The space

You will love this vacation home directly across from the beach path on Lake Shore Drive. Our home has a couple great outdoor options: a large deck at the front of the house and a screen porch in back. The inside of the house has an open layout, with the kitchen opening to the dining area and living room. The large dining table fits 10 - 11 people (8 chairs and a bench). We also have an additional 4 person foldable table and chairs in the pantry that can be added to the dining room table for a big dinner. The living room has a large sectional couch. The basement has a family room with 2 couches and 2 additional armchairs.

There are 3 televisions in the house: the living room and basement have big screen TVs with access to Comcast Cable and Roku. The Master Bedroom has a Roku TV. The house has wireless internet (wifi). There is room for up to 5 vehicles in the driveway in front of the house.

This home has plenty of appeal throughout the year. It is great for a summer beach vacation, a fall getaway to see the beautiful leaves, a Notre Dame football weekend, a quiet snowy winter retreat, a relaxing spring break, or a wine tasting weekend any time!

Book Club 20th Anniversary
This house was huge and the bedrooms and bathrooms were most sufficient and comfortable. The host was very easy to work with and accommodating on a few small issues we had. The access to the lake and beachfront was so easy and accessible. Beautiful beach. There were 10 of us and this property was more than sufficient for us. It does need a bit of tender loving care though. The sun porch was dirty and the metal strip on the stove was coming off. A few towel racks had come down and not been replaced but just left with the mounting hardware. Little things like that which made it good not excellent on the review

Tidy but microwave didn't work!
The home is tidy and stocked at the level expected of a rental but not super clean. The microwave by all appearances should function - timer runs and it makes noise but doesn't heat anything which is tough when eating out and with children. Overall a nice stay, easy check in and out, and great access to the private beach a short walk away.

Needs a deep cleaning
The house is in a great location and has lots of space but needs a deep cleaning and updates. We found hairs in a couple of the beds and had to wash all the sheets before we could use them. One of the bedrooms in the basement had numerous cobwebs in it and no one could use it. Not to mention that the closest is unfinished and the room has no baseboards. There is mold in the basement shower and every shower curtain in the house had pink mold on the bottom. The floors where extremely dirty and didn't appear to have been swept before we arrived. There are towel racks missing in the bathrooms. We contacted the host to express our concerns during our stay and got no response. The house is definitely not as nice as reflected in the online pictures. The kitchen is well equipped and the house provides many beach amenities but that doesn't make up for the condition of the house that we experienced.

Beach in Aug
We were a large group- 5 families. We all fit in the house with plenty of room. Kitchen and eating area work well for big meals. Beach access was perfect. House is a little run down, but all just cosmetic and what I expect from a vacation rental. I would rent again.

TLC
This property has a lot of space and a lot of rooms. The location was ideal. We had two kids (4 and 6) who could easily walk to the beach with no hesitation. We didn't have a stroller, but a stroller would have a tough time accessing the beach. The house itself needs a lot of TLC and/or updates. There were a lot of missing paint patches over the walls, cabinets falling apart, stained sheets on the bottom of one of the bunk beds, the dishwasher was broken and the fridge never got cold enough for drinks. So, for the price we paid, it was a little disappointing. If those things are fixed or updated, we will definitely be back.

We had the best time! Location was perfect!
The shore line was just steps away and being out there looking at that huge body of water was breathtaking! It was cool but refreshing at the same time! The house had plenty of room the beds were comfortable and we all slept great! I had some questions about the area before we arrived and Collin our host replied within the hour with all kinds of resources and we appreciated that so much! We hope to be back again next year!

Nice home; needs some TLC
This is nice home and can be a really nice home again with some TLC. Main areas were clean, however, needs a deep clean. A lot of cosmetic fixes are needed. Kitchen cabinet door missing, crown molding missing. Floor bulging around kitchen sink/dishwasher...i am assuming a leak somewhere. A whole lot of light bulbs need to be replaced. TV in basement is broken...cannot see the screen damage until you turn it on. We did a walk thru as soon as we arrived and took a lot of pictures of what was wrong. Be happy to send to someone. Excellent location and neighborhood.

Great Summer Getaway
Our family celebrated Thanksgiving here and had a wonderful time. The views of the lake are stunning. My only reservation is that the place appears to be focused on summer rentals. For example, there are no extra blankets, just the thin ones on the beds. Also while there are two excellent gas grills on the deck one propane tank was empty and the other was one third full. Despite that it worked out great for our family. In our master bedroom the toilet roll holder was missing from the wall. In another bedroom our daughter said the first pull on the paper roll and it broke from the wall. This is the fifth year we have celebrated Thanksgiving at Lake Michigan and this place was one of the best.

Family Wedding Spot
This was a great place to host our family and friends who were coming into town for a family wedding. Lots of rooms and great location. It seems like it has some wear and tear so don't think it's brand new but the owner was super attentive to the repairs needed and made sure to respond to my messages quickly. I'd definitely recommend it for a family and friends get together!

Great stau
Was a great place for 10 adults and 13 children to stay. It was very cold and windy unfortunately but people still walked to the beach and enjoyed it. Lots of space. We didn't use the downstairs living room, as we wanted to be together. But there was plenty of space on the kitchen level. We even fit all 13 at the dining room table by adding some of the bar stools at the table. A few upgrades would definitely help: towel rack off wall on middle level; broken bench on deck by beach, definitely needed more than 2 dishwasher pods with so many people. A couple beds supported on corner books, downstairs bath had rusty vent and could use some paint.

Perfect for what we were seeking
If you are looking for a place close to the beach for a large (considerate of other residents) group, that has adequate interior space in the kitchen and living areas for socializing without feeling crammed in, this is your place. Although our group was made up of 15 adults, this house would be equally as perfect for a large family of various ages (kids would love the bunk beds) or multiple small families. We knew the area and were familiar with surroundings so it was the perfect location for my daughters nearby wedding. Because this area is comprised of many beautiful tightly spaced private homes, it is important to respect your neighbors. Others around us did just that and it added to our enjoyment of what the area had to offer including a daily visit from a family of four deer, tons of monarch butterflies and endless flybys by beautiful shore birds. The lake is two hundred beautiful yards away down a sandy path RIGHT across the street. We know from experience how hard it is to keep carpets clean enough (especially in a beach home) for everyone to appreciate, have enough furniture for everyone without it feeling crowded, maintaining that furniture when some guest just don't care as much as you do. So be realistic and you will build some amazing memories. My only suggestion is to replace the cot lick base for the twin mattress in the upstairs bedroom with a real twin bedframe. It's now narrower than the mattress and adult needs to remain in the middle to prevent falling out.

The place is in a great location and sleeps a lot of people but it was not clean, bare minimum furniture which was old and uncomfortable. Provided only the smallest amount of staples - Toilet paper, paper towels, etc. (although he stated that in his instructions). Deck and porch furniture was falling apart. The place looked like a college apartment. For the price we were Very disappointed

A great long weekend stay.
The house was wonderful. Our group of 11 friends found the house to be a lovely getaway for a long weekend. When we checked in we noted a few small issues and the host , Colin, came to address them right away. The layout is great for a large group and having two porches is a nice bonus. We are already making plans to return to this house again.

Great House and Location
This was a great spot for a beach vacation--the house was spacious and an easy walk to the beach. We'd stay here again if pets were allowed. The hosts were very responsive--there were a few minor things that would have been nice to have (salt/pepper shakers, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent), but the hosts had more pods delivered when we asked about their location. They also had a new coffee maker delivered when the current one stopped working.

This home was perfect for our family fall break. It is a close walk to the beach, and there were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate our family.
