Great layout & clean but updates needed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Check in was easy and helpful at the front desk. Was unfortunate to get into property to find the thermostats were all programmed to be set at 49 degrees. Took until late evening for the house to warm up to acceptable levels. House was clean but starting to show lots of wear and tear. Carpeting upstairs had many stains throughout and dish washer was not cleaning dishes very well even with rinsing prior to loading. Wine/beverage cooler in kitchen also did not work. Given the size of the house, more plates and bowls would be a nice touch as well.

Great place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I booked Bob’s Boathouse for a family gathering. Other relatives rented other houses on the resort property. We went in October and the resort really didn’t have much to offer in terms of activities. The rental itself was as described in the listing. There were quite a few maintenance-type issues (I.e. screen door didn’t slide well, cracked toilet seat). These issues were not disruptive to our stay and were reported on checking out. Note that none of the houses my group had were mobility friendly. All had steps and Bob’s Boathouse had no railings. The space was great and the resort was located close to a lot of area attractions.

Great Labor Day weekend stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sixteen of our family members stayed for 5 nights over Labor Day weekend. This is our fourth visit to Beachwalk. It's wonderful having a beach community right here in the Midwest! Everyone loved the location of the house . . . closer to the beach than we've ever been and right across the street from all of the wonderful new resort activities. The house doesn't come with a golf cart, which adds so much to the fun of staying at Beachwalk; so we rented one from Lancam. The house itself was spacious, clean, and well-stocked, with a good ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms; and the bedrooms were all nice and big. The huge great room (LR, DR, and kitchen all in one) gave us a fantastic place to hang out. Definitely a 5-star vacation!!

Great location/rental for family of 14!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We choose Michigan City because it is close to Lake Michigan, our grandchildren (ages 3-10) love the beach and the waves! Our immediate family (4 families) live in Central Wisconsin, Madison, WI area and Northville, MI so we choose this location because it is somewhat centrally located for us. This is our 3rd year at Beachwalk Rentals and Bob's Boathouse is probably our favorite location and the lay-out of the house was very suitable for our family. Close to everything....the beach, the pool, the playground, the pickleball courts, the new ice cream building, the splashpad, and the registration desk. Overall a great 4+ days! Suggestions to the property owners would be please provide more rugs for entrance and bathrooms and more towels!

No Frills - Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed at Bob's Boathouse for 3 years now because of the location. Our families enjoy the pirch fireplace and large gathering area. The building/furnishings could use a lot of love, but we overlook that for the location.
