2025 Summer
We enjoyed your home very much. We set up a net in the backyard to play badminton. We worked on crafts and made our meals most days. The only thing we were a little disappointed in was the distance to the lake. I couldn’t determine how far you were from the lake by your Vrbo post. I had thought we could walk. Other than that, all of us enjoyed the cute nautical theme of your home. Well done.

Great for families
Check-in process was so easy. The house was very clean and charming, had everything you could possibly need for a vacation. Great location, it was close to the beach, museums and shopping. Had a fenced in back yard. Our family had a wonderful week in the Captains House and would definitely rent it again if we ever find our way back in Michigan City.

We stayed here with 5 adults and 4 kids aged from 9-16. The little welcome bag was a nice touch. We had plenty of room and never felt crowded. House was well stocked. Charcoal grill on pack patio was very nice. A little road noice but not bad at all. Beds were comfortable. Front porch was our gathering place for morning coffee before kids were up. We enjoyed watching the geese. Believe it or not they used the crosswalks when crossing over street to marina. No complaints from any of us. If we come back to area would definitely stay here again. Great and fast communication from owners.

Charming, Spacious House for Weekend Getaway
The house was beautifully decorated with more than enough space for our 11 guests. Location was a bit industrial compared to my normal preference, but was centrally located for what we wanted to do, and very close to the train station for commuting into Chicago.

Fun Family Getaway
Home was decorated very nicely and lots of attention to detail. Perfect location to the lake, nearby dunes, and MI.
The home had everything we needed- super comfy and lots of space for our family. Hosts were quick to respond for a few questions we had.
Wonderful experience.

Met description. Loved having fenced in backyard for littles. Only issue is downstairs had to be extremely cold so upstairs could be cool to sleep.
