Michigan City beach vacation rentals

Stay Before School Starts, Close to Beach w/CART
This place worked out perfectly for entertaining. I would have to say I’m in love with the kitchen layout and the fact that there are two ovens for cooking. It was also very spacious allowing my family the opportunity to come together and enjoy each other’s company in comfort. The layout is beautiful & location is perfect for holiday and beach activities. If I could I would buy this house!

5bd Artsy Urban Home near Lake, Beach, Nat’l Park
Our stay for a last-minute golf trip worked out perfectly. Hazel was very kind and the place was easy to access. All courses and Casino were within 15 min radius of the place. Was slightly difficult to find an uber/lyft but we managed. Thank you!

Lakefront/Best Views/Paddleboards/Fire-Pit/Kayak
Had a wonderful time staying at Dunetop Escape! The owners were very nice and responsive. Very knowledgeable about the area and made some awesome recommendations. The house was spotless and very accommodating. The house has a lot of usable space and even more sleeping areas! Loved that they made beach days so easy as they had everything you may ever need. Will absolutely be looking to book this location again and look forward to exploring more of Michigan City.

Historic Victorian Mansion
This was our second stay at this home in Michigan City. Our four kids loved walking to breakfast and staying in the cool old house!

Charming Cottage on the Lake
Our stay was very relaxing and tranquil. The scenery of the lake and the cleanliness of the house were amazing. Definitely would go back again.

Make Lasting Memories at Beautiful Lake Chapin
Second time staying at this Airbnb in Berrien Springs, and it was a great escape from the city! Clean interior and king size bed were fantastic. It rained, so we didn't get to kayak, but it's great that we had the option. Would return again for a third time some day!

Secluded Log Home - Private Lake!
We had an excellent time as a family at David's cabin. Everything was as advertised, and more. David was very proactive in communicating with us and responsive to any questions we had. The cabin was really, really beautiful, with peaceful surroundings and all the comforts of a well appointed home. David was clear about the pet policy and our dog was clearly welcome in the home. David left really nice touches for the humans as well, with cookies and muffins on our arrival. The house was well stocked with everything we needed, and we are particularly impressed with how well everything is labeled...light switches, cupboard doors, electronics, etc. Very, very well done. We enjoyed our long weekend, winter escape!

Pet friendly, lakefront, 3 kayaks & docks included
My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary getaway. I am so glad that we did! The property is absolutely beautiful. Everything was super clean and ready for our check in. We found everything we needed in the home, from kitchen items to a few bathroom items that we forgot to pack. We so appreciated the view of the lake, from inside and out on the deck and pier. Watching the sunset was priceless. The hammock was sleep inducing! This property is so serene, so peaceful, so gorgeous. I just can't say enough good things about it. Sierra was very communicative, approachable, responsive, and accommodating. She truly is a Superhost. We will definitely be staying here again! On a side note, treat yourself to a meal at Drift on Pine, just 10 minutes away, as it was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. Don't hesitate to book your stay here. It is everything that it is supposed to be and more.

Great Living Too
I cannot say enough about how clean the house was. Wonderful space for everyone. Kitchen table was large enough for my group to play games at and the basement space was large enough for everyone too! If we are back in the area we would stay here again!

Walk to ND/Eddy Street, ProCleaned/Comfy/Updated
This is an awesome home - we came for a get together and a game with friends. The location is fantastic - incredibly walkable to the stadium, campus, and Eddy street. The house was perfect for our group - three TVs all going simultaneously was a great way to experience football weekend!

Sq Toe's Last Resort:Pet-Friendly*Fenced* GameRoom
My partner and I booked a last minute stay here on our way back from a road trip. Ryan was very responsive (within 30 minutes) and we loved staying at the house. The backyard was perfect to let our dog run around off leash and the house was very cozy. The neighborhood is very quiet and you’re just a few blocks from the best ice cream place in the midwest, Oinks. We would absolutely stay here again.

Harbor House near Lake Michigan, Ping Pong/Deck
We enjoyed our stay in Benton Harbor. Our kids loved taking our small dog out for walks and seeing the beach and sunsets nearby. We had a great time on our vacation which was not far from great locations like St. Joe’s, Holland and even Grand Rapids. We highly recommend Ethan’s Air B and B and look forward to coming back in the summer.

Irish Retreat
We stayed at Linda’s while visiting family over the holidays and it was a comfortable, well stocked, clean, home away from home. It’s on a busy road but because of that close to everything. Linda was responsive and helpful. Kitchen had lots of condiments, coffee filters, cooking basics. Lots of extras like blankets, games, and box fans.

Your guide to Michigan City
All About Michigan City
Windswept grasses over rolling, coastal dunes, sprawling beaches, and the lapping waters of Lake Michigan run to the edge of this small, northern Indiana community. Just east of the Chicago metropolitan area, Michigan City is a beachside community with a distinctive downtown. The Franklin Street Commercial Historic District is replete with 19th-century structures built in the Gothic Revival and Italianate traditions. The town also retains a strong maritime tradition with several historical lighthouses — including the oldest in the state — and a museum displaying the remnants of Lake Michigan shipwrecks.
Spend the day leisurely browsing the downtown boutiques and cafes before heading to the nearby Indian Dunes National Park for swimming, boating, and surfing. Chicago is just an hour away, making it easy for you to spend a day taking in the Windy City’s broader cultural offerings.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Michigan City
The lake-influenced climate surrounding Michigan City varies widely throughout the year. Summers in the region tend to be pleasantly hot, with mild winds and moderate to high humidity that make for excellent conditions for enjoying the water, lounging on the beach, or walking through the town. This is also when many of the area's festivals and events occur, such as the Taste of Michigan City food festival in August. On the other hand, the winters can be bitterly cold, with regular snowfall and below-freezing temperatures that often see the edge of Lake Michigan freeze over. For these reasons, the summer months and parts of the shoulder seasons — May through October — remain the most popular times for travelers booking house rentals in Michigan City.
Top things to do in Michigan City
Indiana Dunes National Park
Just west of town, you’ll find the Indiana Dunes National Park, with its 15 miles of coastlines, 50 miles of trail systems, and 15,000 acres of parkland open for exploration. The inland forest ecosystems, along with the wetlands and grass-crowned sand dunes, provide plenty of opportunities to hike. Or you can simply lounge about on the sand and swim in one of the Midwest’s largest stretches of protected shoreline.
Michigan City East Lighthouse & Museum
This historic lighthouse, constructed in the early 20th century, remains the last remaining publicly run lighthouse in the state. Its red-and-white tower has become an iconic attraction, and the neighboring pier serves as a popular fishing spot for locals. You can also tour the Old Lighthouse Museum, a 19th-century structure that preceded the construction of the east tower. Its exhibits tell the story of the area's maritime history, including artifacts from shipwrecks and the old lighthouse lenses.
Friendship Botanic Gardens
The Friendship Botanic Gardens lie east of town along the edge of Pottawattamie Park. These sprawling grounds cover over 100 acres and include butterfly gardens, riverside old-growth forests, an Irish maze, and an English Tea House. Over two miles of hiking trails snake through the 37 unique gardens.
