- "Great stay! Owner has great communication and very responsive. We loved the retro 50's decor and feel. Plenty of room for large families. Nice outdoor patio space. Plenty of parking. The only issue was a small cleaning oversight, but they more than made up for it. Would definitely recommend!" - "The house was easy to find and get into. The neighborhood was extremely quiet and very close to Indiana Dunes National Park. The beds were very comfortable. We only used the refrigerator and coffee maker in the kitchen but the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. We went to Miller Pizza in Gary for dinner one night--it was excellent. "

- "This was our yearly 4th of July family vacation to Miller Beach. This house was awesome!! Elena has everything you need in her home and it was super clean, which was super important to us. Her home is located across the street from the beach with a super easy path to the beach. She is always a text or phone call away if you need anything. Perfect for family with kids. She has a great patio for grilling and hanging out, bikes to ride, Beach Toys, etc. We will definitely love to rent her house again. My only suggestion is that if you plan on renting and you like to watch tv or movies, bring something to watch on, because this home only has one tv in the basement. We knew this ahead of time, so we all would watch movies at night on our ipads/phones/laptops etc. It was such a great time, cant wait to do it again :) Thank you Elena for sharing your home with us."

- "This was our 2nd time staying here & we absolutely loved it! So close to the beach & the house felt like home for us!!! The homeowners went above & beyond in making this a memorable get-away for our family!! Will definitely be back!!!" - "For several months we'd looked forward to this chance to spend some quality time with one of our grown sons and his wife and just-turning-one daughter. Logistics of getting three generations from multiple locations together can be complicated. Luckily for us, nearly everything worked out well. The rental property was a good fit for us--very near a beach, not far from several sections of Indiana Dunes National Park, relatively easy to child-proof, within walking distance of small shops and restaurants, neither too fancy nor too plain. Could have done without the extra layer of bureaucracy provided by Evolve, but liked the owner/hosts. Would recommend the place to others."
