About this house rental
Summary:
Sanctuary at Beachwalk is a bright, expansive retreat for up to 16, with a private bath for every bedroom. Two living rooms invite movie nights or piano evenings, while a sunlit cook’s kitchen and screened porch draw everyone back between beach time and pool time. Outside, a covered patio overlooks Waterfall Park, with a BBQ and Solo Stove ready after sunset. A seasonal golf cart and a garage full of gear make Beachwalk days easy. Bikes, wagons, coolers, and chairs await!
The Space:
Fresh coastal finishes and tall windows set the tone across the main level. Cooking happens in a fully stocked cook’s kitchen, centered on a wraparound island with seating for eight. Dining follows just beyond, with a table for six and enough space for holiday meals, reunions, and long weekends.
Down one step, a comfortable TV living room pairs a large sectional with a mounted smart TV (gas fireplace not available for guest use). Nearby, a second sitting room shifts the mood toward conversation, with plush couches, armchairs, and a piano. A powder room and full laundry room are also on this level.
Off the kitchen, the screened porch reads as a true four seasons room: surrounded by windows and furnished for board games, reading, and slow afternoons. Outdoor meals are easy from here. Waterfall Park stays in view from the covered front porch, and the hammock is an inviting spot once the sky goes dark. Out back, the covered patio and stone terrace set the stage for BBQ dinners, outdoor dining, and evenings by the Solo Stove.
All bedrooms are located on the upper level, offering a peaceful retreat away from the main living spaces. The primary suite is a true escape with vaulted ceilings, a wet bar, veranda access, and a spa-inspired ensuite. Two additional ensuite bedrooms provide added privacy with walk-in showers and direct veranda access. The fourth bedroom is ideal for shared sleeping, featuring an attached full bath and a cozy window seat perfect for reading or lounging. The loft room offers flexible overflow sleeping, making this home well-suited for large families and group getaways.

Bedroom 4: Queen and 2 Single Beds
Loft Room: 2 Single Beds and 2 Single Bunkbeds
Every bedroom at Sanctuary at Beachwalk features its own private en-suite bathroom, offering privacy and ease for large groups. Expect spa-inspired spaces with walk-in showers, soaking tubs, and bright coastal finishes designed for both relaxation and convenience. A full laundry room, complete with washer, dryer and storage makes longer stays and beach days effortless.
Outdoor living is a highlight at Sanctuary at Beachwalk. Begin your day on the covered front porch overlooking Waterfall Park, then retreat to the 3-season room ideal for quiet moments, reading, games, and easy conversation year-round. Out back the stone patio offers outdoor dining, grilling on the BBQ, or gathering around the Solo Stove beneath the trees. Just beyond the gate, a community basketball hoop invites friendly games, while a nearby hammock offers a peaceful place to unwind. Thoughtful extras make it easy to pack light, with a fully stocked garage offering beach gear, bikes, wagons, coolers, beach chairs, and a seasonal golf cart for fun Beachwalk adventures.
Beyond the home, Beachwalk Resort delivers an unmatched lineup of resort-style amenities, including multiple swimming pools, a private lakefront beach with soft sand and calm waters, a splash pad, tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, fire pits, and scenic walking paths woven throughout the community.
Perfectly situated within Beachwalk Resort, Sanctuary places you just minutes from Lake Michigan’s sandy shoreline, local marinas, and the charming shops and restaurants of Michigan City. Spend your days beach-hopping, boating, or biking the lakeside trails, then explore nearby attractions like Washington Park Zoo, Lighthouse Place Premium Outlets, and the vibrant arts and dining scene along the South Shore. With easy access to both Indiana Dunes National Park and the quaint coastal towns of southwest Michigan, Sanctuary at Beachwalk offers the ideal home base for relaxed lake days, outdoor adventures, and memorable group escapes year-round.

Great area for families. Great host. Pleanty of room for 8 adults and 8 kids under 10

The house was in the best location with the Central Park behind it. The house was bright and airy with lots of windows. The layout was great for our large friend group with kids ages 5-15. The garage was stocked with beach chairs, wagons, sand toys, umbrellas, bikes, scooters, balls, and more for a great beach day. The golf cart was an absolute hit with the kids and a great help in hauling items to the beach or for quick bathroom runs from the beach. The kitchen was stocked so well, with all the necessities for cooking. We cooked three meals a day in there for 17 and found everything we needed! The amount of sleeping available was great. It was a plus to have a bathroom for each of the bedrooms. While the house was very clean and had a great layout and location and was stocked well, it could use a few updates such as the half bath. The outside and upper balconies could really use a good power washing as there is lots of leaves and dirt/cobwebs. None of this affected the good time we had at this home!

We loved our stay here, especially the golf cart, which made things easy. There was a learning curve with figuring out how to maximize the resort ammenities, but we got there. The place has lots of little wierd steps and could use more railings and grab bars, but we made it through the week without any mishaps.
