Disliked: Cleanliness
Property looked terrible so we found another rental!
The fence was literally falling down and the yard was a mess. I rented this property to have a fenced area for my dogs and daughter and that was not an option. The house was in a very poor area with boarded up windows and graffiti. I would never have felt comfortable staying there and not al all as represented online!

Clean, spacious and quiet getaway.
We enjoyed our stay at Sandhill Flat. The check in process was easy and communication was clear. The place is spacious, clean and stocked well. I was impressed they provided some coffee and sugar packets. We enjoyed the spacious backyard, grill and hot tub in the evenings. We were close to the park and beach . We would return.

Cute little space
We overall enjoyed our stay here. The only issue we had was that the wifi was not working so we were not able to use it for working on our computers or to watch TV. I reported this to the property management company but nothing was done about it. Outside of that, we had a great stay.

Comfy and close
The house is well maintained, living space was good for two adults and two teens. The beach is a walkable distance. Food and groceries are not far away. The area lacks a small vacation town feel but the house is great for a cook at home get away. Good street biking and running trails in the beach area.

Great time
Walking distance to Marquette Beach ($10 daily parking) or a 10-minute drive from the more popular West Beach (the westernmost part of the National Park, $25 daily parking). The house was comfortable, and we enjoyed grilling and using the hot tub in the backyard. Note: The Wi-Fi doesn't work well, and you'll need to bring your own coffee for the coffee machine (or use the Keurig).

Great stay!
This is our second time here and this time we brought our doggie and she had a great time on the beach chasing the waves! The house is beautiful and the amenities are great. Our only request is to please repair the fence - particularly the back corner. It really needs some love.

Great weekend getaway
We stayed for the fourth weekend and it was great. We went to Miller Beach which is less than a 10 minute walk and even for the Fourth, it was relatively quiet and clean. We also went to the Dunes which was about a 20 minute drive.

Great little house
Thank you for letting us stay in your home. It was perfect for what we needed, and was within 30 minutes of everywhere we wanted to go. We loved the hot tub and fenced in back yard. We didn't plan for it this time, but next time plan to use the grill area! My only advice for the future is to add some type of mat in the tub as it is super slippery, and a couple of us slipped and fell. Also, tvs had some trouble connecting to the internet, but we didn't come to watch tv anyway. Thanks again we will recommend to others!!

Fall getaway
This property has been beautifully renovated and decorated. The appliances are new and a treat to use. The back yard is spacious! The hot tub is relaxing and although you must shower before entering, the outside shower has hot water (a plus in 50 degree weather). We did not use the fire table or the grill but both are in brand new condition. The beds and pillows are comfy as is the living room. We only left the house at the beginning of our stay for grocery shopping and lunch and then returned to the house and enjoyed ourselves. A lot of the homes on the block are being renovated and expanded and will be beautiful. The lake and the park are very close to the home and in walking distance for children and adults. When we visited, there was road construction, but the detour signs were clear and easy to follow.

Great beach vacation in Indiana!
We had such a lovely experience with this property! It’s clean, spacious, easy to get to several beaches and well stocked with everything you could need. I loved the eco friendly touches they incorporated also. Lake street beach is so close you can either walk or drive 2 minutes and park for a small fee. We also drove to Marquette park beach where there was a great playground for littles and a little cafe. We also walked around the park and it’s beautiful. We felt safe the whole time. My only complaint was that we had trouble with local restaurants not being open when they listed online they were so the only thing we would do differently is to plan to cook and bring food. Miller Beach is a great hidden gem and I hope it develops a little more with more restaurants and shops. We will definitely come back!

Just what we needed
The backyard was absolutely perfect for our dog. She was relaxed and enjoyed her time there. The walk to the beach was a short jaunt, which was really great. Really, we had everything we needed and the management team was quick and responsive to any of our questions or needs. We very much enjoyed our time in the Miller neighborhood!

Beach Get Away
We wanted a place close to the beach, and that is what we got. It was an easy walk through trails to get to the lake with our kids and our dogs. We worried about the area being unsafe, but felt very comfortable and safe during our stay. The outdoor shower was perfect for getting clean after a day at the beach. The grass did not seem like it had been cut in a while, so we didn’t utilize the yard as much as we would have liked. Other than that, the house accommodated us (3 adults, 4 kids, 2 dogs) well. It was perfect for what we wanted, to relax and enjoy the beach with family.

OH - EM - GEE PERFECT!
I'll be honest - When u 1st drive in, the area might seem a little sketch... BUT hold on to your britches - It's so amazing U will be sad to leave!! I can't say ENOUGH good things about this listing. Get ready to chill, hike, Sunset beach walks, grill, hot tub & have a blast!! Clean & perfectly set up for a family!! We have 5 people that included 3 teen daughters & were super comfortable. Could easily accommodate 7. AWESOME location!! there is dune hiking & paths behind the house that lead to one of the beaches, we also saw deers daily on our walks because part of the dunes are very grove like with grases & teees. If U have littles U can drive just down the block & park for a much shorter access to beachfront. Millers Market 9 miles away for grocery & awesome meat / seafood mart on the corner from the house. The house is well stocked with all the kitchen things including wine glasses, Games, cards, towels ( might want to bring your own beach towels if u like the super big ones), bath towels, K-cups, excellent pillows, extra blankets for cool nights, literally everything!!! Bring extra paper towels when u grocery shop, plastic cups for when ur in hot tub & TP ... I feel we go through a lot of TP in our family though .. Also bring your own beach chairs if u like - there is plenty of seating in backyard. Twinkle light Backyard was like a mini oasis!! Hot tub, fire pit feature, Hammock, fenced in backyard, gas grill, AND plenty of chairs for the entire family!

Overall great stay !
House was beautiful we definitely enjoyed our time there and really appreciate the communication with the host and allowing our extra vehicle to park at the house. Only a few things we were a bit dissappointed in we didnt really get to use hot tub due to the fact it smelled like a strong fish odor . And the bathroom doorknob was loose so you can see through it . But overall was a nice house and we enjoyed our time there . Would still recommened this house for future bookings .

Indoor amenities were great - yard needs work.
Our family stayed at this property for an extended weekend getaway. 9 people in total. Everyone enjoyed the indoor electronics and amenities such as fans in rooms, noise makers to help us sleep, and tvs in all the rooms. The house was clean, but had some broken cabinet knobs and minor repairs needed in the bathroom to bathtub and floor…The outdoor area had the potential to be really nice. However, the kids in our group were not able to play out in the yard due to overgrown grass, sticks & limbs down all in the yard, and dog droppings left in the yard. The back fence is also in a state of disrepair that gives a trashier vibe than what is seen in the listing pictures.
