Family Retreat-Beachwalk-Grill-AC-Free WiFi-Pool Table-Bikes-Grill-Golf Cart

The perfect fairy tale home at the Beachwalk. Completed in May 2017, Valhalla sleeps up to 11 with 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths. You can unwind after a day at the beach in the sports-themed basement that features a wet bar and pool table amidst sports memorabilia or entertain in the Viking-themed main floor. Enjoy an evening around the fire in the shared fire pit. Stocked with games, books, and movies, the entire family will be entertained in this new gem in Lake Michigan's premier vacation resort. For larger parties, you can rent along with the adjoining Troll's Den, which sleeps 6. A golf cart is available. Come check out this beautiful and unique property!

From the Friday before Memorial Day through October 1, there is a 3-night minimum and all guests must purchase resort passes, which cost $15 per person. There is a $5 parking cost per car.

Cleanliness has always been a top priority for our company. Our cleaning and infection control processes were put in place so that when you visit our homes at the Beachwalk, it's both safe and comfortable.

All cleaning fees are baked into the nightly rate.

Please note that we maintain a smoke-free and pet-free environment.

We will continue remote check-in/check-out procedures, but as always will be available to take your calls, answer any questions, and provide the overall great service you have come to expect. Early check-ins or late check-outs will be allowed when possible and will be charged at the hourly average of the nightly rate.

This house was the perfect location for our bridal party, especially loved the bridal suite which is large enough for numerous people, including makeup artist and hair stylist. Tge basement is such a bonus, and the screened in porch is just lovely. Thank you for the great stay!

Fun Girl's Weekend!
My mom, who is 91, along with my two neices and their mother, take an annual girl's trip. We rypically get a hotel, but this year we changed it up for a beachy vibe. The house is gorgeous and very comfortable. The neighborhood of mostly vacation rentals was quiet and low key. The property manager was super responsive to our needs and friendly. The golf cart was a big hit! It was such fun driving around the little neighborhood and to the beach. We really enjoyed our time at the Vahalla.

Great weekend
The Beachwalk community was a great place to stay. There was so much for our teenage sons and their friends to do at the house. They really enjoyed the pool table and all of the sports memorabilia. Quite a collection! They also got into the board games and played those, too.

Super spot to enjoy Michigan City
We had a wonderful stay at Valhalla! The house is not large, but there is plenty of room for 6-8 folks. The house was very clean and had coffee already in the cupboard! Not always true. Though there are houses very close to this one, it is very quiet. Every house around us was occupied and yet we were able to get our kids to sleep by 8:30 pm and the area was quiet. We were unable to take time to enjoy the resort, but we sure will next time. Seems like a perfect vacation spot.

Great weekend getaway!
Anders and his properties are everything you could hope for in a vacation rental. They are well kept, clean, and inviting. We rented both Valhalla and East of the sun for the weekend with a large number of guests and the houses could not have worked out more perfect. There is so much to do in the little resort and every need is met from bicycles, rackets, balls, inside games. . .and our personal favorites the karaoke stage(GREAT Sound) and the pool tables in each house. Anders was wonderful at checking in and replying to anything we came back with, I cant give 10 stars . . .but I would - highly recommend!

Beautiful Stay!
We loved our stay here, the property is clean and exactly as the description reads. The area/resort is very nice and secure, if we had one and only complaint (which is entirely out of the owners control) is the closeness/congestion of the property next to others. Many of the surrounding homes are absolutely beautiful, but we did notice how easily sound traveled from other properties. The parking is minimal (3 cars fit) but there is an overflow just down the road for any other vehicles. The game room downstairs was a great time, but it is a tight fit even for just a few people (again out of the owners hands!) but was a fun time. A light in the basement bedroom also often flickered on/off, but overall we had a great experience!

Cozy Resort Home by the Beach
We enjoyed our location. We could walk to the Beach, pool, small park. There were many things to do included in our rental…corn hole (which we played!) bikes, golf cart. Anders and Joolz were fine hosts. We all agreed that we would love to come back. We had plenty of space to cook, watch football games on Sunday and just chill and catch up.

Family Vacation
Last year we stayed in the small house and this year we stayed in the big house given 2 more kids. Great house with kids. Every bedroom has its own bathroom. Baby gates do come in handy with an upstairs and downstairs. We really enjoyed having a golf cart this year. Great hosts and great community. Already booked for next year!
