We loved our stay and had a relaxing time in the area. Buying groceries to cook was great with a full kitchen to cook with. Rooms were super nice and also had every accommodation we could need. Definitely will be looking to stay again!

The house is set up great and has everything you need. The location was convenient to be able to go to the beach or to the little towns around. I would recommend Dunes Escape to my friends and family.

This property was a very very nice place. Very comfortable and cozy. The backyard is great for kids since it’s all fenced in. Simple and quick drive to the dunes. Nice place to come back to after a long hot day at the beach! ❤️

The property is fantastic! The house was clean and tidy. Very easy to navigate and find this throughout, with a kitchen ready to go. The outside space is incredible! Great fireplace, and table to eat at. I would also point out the close and easy it is to get to the Dunes National and State park from the house. Overall great stay!

Check in was kinda tricky, but that was due to this being my first booking through VRBO. The host was awesome and attentive. I'll be looking for this host in the future.

Our hosts were most gracious and quick to respond if we had questions. We thought the house was cute! It was just as described. Our family members were more than satisfied with our stay at Dunes Escape. In fact, we'd highly recommend it!

While the location of the house is great to access the national park and close to Valparaiso the neighborhood itself and surrounding area was rundown. That being said we did not encounter any issues. The house itself was perfect size for our stay and had all items that we needed. It was fairly clean and nicely decorated but could use a good deep clean. Great water pressure, water was hot, beds were comfortable, awesome fire pit in the backyard and was nice to have all the amenities.

We were road tripping from CT around the Great Lakes and stayed here for 2 nights while visiting Indiana Dunes. The house was perfect for our family. We did not utilize the outdoor areas as we were gone most of the days and it rained both evenings. Great location for visiting the park and Jake was easy to communicate with from booking through checking out. My one recommendation would be to add a second beach chair so 2 adults can sit on the beach comfortably! Also, for anyone worrying about the Gary address- the neighborhood was quiet and safe and right on the edge of the NP. Great stay!

All was good. The comunication with Jake was fine. The Location little bit outside, so you need a car for discover the dunes. Actually quiet area, only one time in the morning, if the man with the mowing machine comes at 7:00 in the morning :-) You hear the train with the loud horn, but us doesn't matter. In any case we will be back, if we visit the region again.

We had a great stay! Everything was just as listed! Every area was very clean, kitchen well stocked, plenty of towels provided for our 2 night stay. If i could change anything it would have been to add a nightlight of some sort in the twin room. Unfamiliar place/noises and it was completely dark for my daughter. No lamp or nightlight in that room. Also a few of the cabinet doors need tightened down.

Overall a nice stay. A quiet neighborhood very close to West Beach in the National Park. We enjoy train sounds, but if that matters to you then be advised that trains are audible throughout the day/night. Beds are comfortable. Dishwasher is not secured well —tips out when loading it. Some cabinet doors are rather loose. They provide beach towels, board games. Blackout curtains were nice.

This rental is even cozier and more modern in person. There’s plenty of space and the place is fully stocked. From the kitchen having all the things we needed, to the host providing throws in every room and the modern appliances, this home made hosting New Year’s Eve for my family perfect. The hosts are gracious, prompt, communicative and accommodating. The only thing that could be improved is the shower pressure and tub drain. Otherwise, the place is perfect. Would definitely recommend.
