Welcome to “Take It Easy.” Purchased and recently updated in March 2023!

Right as you enter the community of Beachwalk, the rainbow of homes welcomes you with feelings of joy and excitement. You may spot the community heated pool, sand volleyball court, basketball court, tennis court, multiple parks and soo much more! Our beautiful home is located quietly in the back of the community RIGHT on Lake Kai. There are only a few homes in Beachwalk that offer waterfront and a private sandy beach!

In the home an array of windows throughout the 3 floors allows for stunning natural light and GORGEOUS picturesque views of the lake. We are locals and have lived in the NW Indiana and SW Michigan area our whole lives. We are so proud of our little piece of paradise, and we can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself!

Sorry but we DO NOT ALLOW ANY PETS in our home. We love our animals too but we must be respectful to our renters with allergies. If we find that you have snuck a pet in you will be asked to leave with no refund.

We value your sense of security so we just added an ADT Security system and coded front door keypad that will be changed with every new renter. We will send you the code right before your stay. Beachwalk offers their own security that patrols the community as well. It is a very safe area but it’s nice to know these things are offered.

The main floor offers a dining table, fully stocked kitchen with utensils, dishes, cups, coffee makers (both drip and Keurig), paper towels, garbage bags, baby high chair, double dishwasher, countertop seating, open floor plan living room, TV with Fire Stick, a two way fireplace that also opens onto the fully screened in porch! Newly refreshed with brand new screens, paint, ceiling fans, extra large dining table that seats 12, rugs, and a cozy outdoor couch to snuggle around the fireplace. '

Steps head down from this porch directly to the private sandy beach and Lake Kai. Back on the main floor we have a full bathroom with tub/shower combo, all the linens, blow dryer, hotel sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, and lotion. The commode area is separated behind a door. This bathroom opens directly into the main hallway and also into a bedroom with a Queen size bed.

Down the hall is ONE of the master bedrooms with a King size bed and two bathrooms inside including one with just the commode and sink and the other with a large glass walk in shower and sink. All of the bathrooms in the home are fully stocked with the items I mentioned in the first bathroom description. We’ve also included 2 baby gates for the stairs, 2 pack n plays with sheets, 1 mini crib, and 1 baby bath seat.

Upstairs you’ll be welcomed into the loft area that overlooks the main floor. We have two cozy futons that open into Full size beds, a sweet window surrounded nook that has the best view of the lake. We added a two couches to enjoy quiet mornings sipping coffee when the weather isn’t “deck ready,” chatting with your loved ones or snuggled up reading a book!

Right next to the nook you can head out to the second story deck. We just replaced all the wooden decking with composite decking for comfort and durability. This deck is not covered so it’s the place to be to lay out and enjoy the sun! It also has a gas outdoor fireplace and on outdoor couch for a cozy spot to sit and enjoy your favorite drink and look up at the stars. The second master bedroom is right down the hall and features a King size bed, a twin bed, TV with firestick and attached large bathroom with HUGE all glass shower complete with multiple spray nozzles. There is a second door in the bathroom for hallway access.

Downstairs on the ground floor you’ll find the laundry room stocked with a new washer and dryer, detergent and dryer sheets, slop sink, and an extra fridge. Down the hall is a bathroom with a shower, the bunk room with a bunk of two Twins and a bunk of two Fulls, a smaller bedroom with Queen bed, a futon and TV with firestick. A large living room with two couches, games and puzzles, a TV with firestick, and a brand new air hockey/ping pong table.

You can head outside to the concrete patio to relax in the shade, enjoy our brand new HOT TUB, cook on the new gas grill, or enjoy your private sandy beach and fire pit! We are located right next to the brand new bocce ball court, shuffleboard court and kayak and paddle board rentals! They are free to rent with your Beachwalk Community wristbands! Make sure to hold your spot by visiting funatbeachwalk.com to sign up for a time slot to play or paddle!

Right from our beach you can walk down the boardwalk along the lake to the community pool, splash pad, sand volleyball court, clubhouse with observation deck, pool table, ping pong table, inside and outside decks, big screen TV, and the community's very own restaurant called the Beach Hut. Just a little bit farther down you will walk down the white boardwalk to the beach and Lake Michigan! We have a wagon to help haul down those beach must haves and 8 beach chairs!

FISHING! You can fish dawn to dusk on the main fishing pier at 234 Beachwalk Lane and in the ponds at Waterfall Park and Putting Green Park. You can also fish the pier located directly next to our house but you will need to do it before the kayak rentals start at 8:00am. You can fish off the beach in our back yard at any time too of course.

Golf Cart rentals are a breeze through the community’s approved vendor LanCam. You will call them directly at (219) 929-9221 to book your cart and schedule the drop off date.

Wristbands are needed for anyone above the age of 4 to use any of the community amenities. Please make sure that your occupancy is updated properly so we can leave the the proper number to ensure that you have access

Parking passes are required for any vehicle parked within the community. Our home offers enough room in our driveway to fit two vehicles side by side and one perpendicular in front of them. Thankfully we are only 75 yards away from the large overflow lot for any vehicles that won’t fit.

- Absolutely NO smoking in the home. Any cigarette butts found around the property will result in a loss of $50 per cigarette butt found from your security deposit.

-Must be at least 30 years old and present for the duration of the stay to reserve.

-Beachwalk has a strong policy on no fireworks.

-Please be respectful to our neighbors and community.

Renter beware! A nice house but lots of issues. Upon arrival met with several maintenance issues that did not get a response from the host. Upon arrival, I find the screen of the screen is falling out of the door. It had been taped with black electrical tape so it was a known problem. Door on second floor leading to deck had a large gasket just dragging the floor making it difficult to get the doors shut. The coffee table leg was about to fall off.The lower patio was so dirty I had to clean it up myself:sticks, old matted leaves, cobwebs surrounding the back and sides of the hot tub which we had to step into to get the top off. The grill did not light as it should. It was filthy. Sent a message to host immediately. No response. 2 days later maintenance people arrive to fix rotted boards in the sidewalk around the house. Have no knowledge of my complaints. They checked into it and found my email. Later came back to work on the house. Other deficiencies. Kitchen had only 12 forks and 13 spoons. Not what I would expect for a house that is supposed to accommodate 17! Only given 1 roll of paper towels, no extra garbage bags for the kitchen. no dish cloths, one sponge only. Kitchen pans sparse and were scratched up teflon coated ones. Gas stove center burner clicking -off postion! Only 2 towels in my master bath and no wash cloths. Towel hook in bathroom falling off the wall. We were looking for a lost baby toy and checked under the couch cushions. YUCK! Lots of food remnants. .

The house is absolutely amazing, spacious, everyone has its own space to go to. Really nice. Beach access??? Well that to be desired. It is a very narrow walk way that shares the space with the next door rental of canoes, paddle boarding etc, so there really isn't desperate lake Kai access. The check in was a little rocky as we never got the door code access and after texting calling, finally the HOST got back within 2 hours of check in time. Thank goodness someone forgot to lock the basement so we were able to get in. Sleeping was great, most of the beds are very comfortable. Shower....usually Luke warm water, which I have to say.....not great. I really do enjoy hot showers. The patios are fantastic with a great view. Kitchen is fully equipped. Basement is great with pingpong table. There were some towels missing in some of the bathrooms, but that was an easy fix. Overall, it really was a nice property I would give 4 out of 5 stars

Wonderful home and area

Really great home. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of room. Next to the watercraft and bocce rentals which is convenient though it means others walk by which didn’t bother us. Nice to have multiple places to hang out indoors and outdoors. Liked that there were a lot of bathrooms for our five families. Did feel a little cramped at times but nothing we couldn’t handle. Even though it was a little cold outside we had an amazing time. Love this little neighborhood and would definitely come back again.

This property was perfect for our family! We were attending a destination wedding where LOTS of family flew in. This home was fantastic with lots of room for everyone. We had one day where family with children came to play at the lake and neighborhood pool. The home was just as described and the location better than expected. The host was very prompt to respond to questions. We would very highly recommend this property.

We had 7 adults and 4 kids, ages 2-4.5, and the house was great for everyone! As a parent of toddlers, we appreciated all of the “kid” stuff the house had to offer: pack & play, toys, gates, step stools! The area is really cute and we’d definitely come back! James was really responsive and easy to communicate with!

Perfect Spot to “Take it Easy”

Being a native of NC and growing up with NC beaches I didn’t expect Lake Michigan to have a wow factor. I was completely wrong and what made everything perfect was our home away from home Take it Easy. Spacious house, well stocked, first class service, and its location never left us entertainment. Fishing, kayaking, paddle boats, fire pit, and so much more all at your fingertips. The walk to Lake Michigan to see the Sunset was 5 minutes.

Nice place

We have stayed in the Beachwalk area many times and love the location and ammenities. We did have some issues with this house (dishwasher broke mid way through our stay) and the house manager was prompt to respond but didn’t fix the problem. There were also lots of “workers” who would show up which was a little disruptive. Overall nice place.

Wonderful property and property manager!!

The home was exactly as described. Even better in person that it looked on the listing!! There were a couple of minor issues that I communicated to Danielle and she was very quick to respond - all was worked out quickly. We are hoping to stay again next year. This is the third house we've had at Beachwalk and the family consensus is that it is the best one yet!!

The Perfect Spot!

Our family of 11 fit very well into this home located in the most ideal location in all of Beachwalk! We had back door access to everything on Lake Kai, as well as the shuffleboard and bocce ball courts! The house had all the essentials we needed and more! We enjoyed the screened in porch and the wonderful kid-friendly basement. Clear communication with the property manager was much appreciated. We'd love to come back again!!

Perfect location and home for family reunion!

Our stay here was just amazing! We had a group of 11, including children ranging in age from 1 to 12 years. Sleeping arrangements were perfect, and there was something for everyone to do, from shuffleboard and kayak rental next door, to the park less than a 2 min walk away, to the gorgeous Lake Michigan beach. Children of all ages were easily entertained and happy, and adults could relax and vacation easily as well. Gatherings around the fire pit were a hit, and the outdoor seating allowed everyone to eat dinner together nightly. Danielle was a lovely and responsive host, and the house itself was comfortable, clean, and lovely. We have stayed in many homes in Beachwalk over the years, and this one by far fit our family and all the different ages and interests best! We cannot wait to come back for our next family reunion!!

Great family vacation home

Our group of 10 really enjoyed the property and all of the Beachwalk amenities. Less than 10 minutes stroll to lake Michigan beach. Heated community pool was great, especially in early season when Lake Michigan was a little chilly. Meals on the screened in porch off the kitchen were just fabulous with the view of lake Kai. Hot tub was great. Fire pit was a fun spot as well. Parking was easy with space for 4 vehicles at house and an additional overflow lot less than 2 minute walk from front door. Owner was very helpful in check in process and resolving the most minor of issues. Communication was fantastic. We look forward to returning.

My family and I rented this lovely property to celebrate the holidays. It is very spacious and was able to accommodate our large group.

Perfect Family Trip

Our stay at "Take It Easy" couldn't have been any better. The house had great spaces for everyone to come together but also to spread out when needed. The house is well stocked and had everything you would need to make a meal. We enjoyed the various outdoor spaces and loved having coffee in the morning on the upper deck, meals in the screened porch and fires outside at night! The location of the property is great as it doesn't feel too crowded but you can easily walk to the beach and the other amenities Beachwalk has to offer. And the owners were quick to respond to any questions we had. Our only complaint is that we should have stayed longer! Thank you for letting us enjoy your home.
