New Beachwalk Home for 2011 -- Backgrounds of Beachwalk

Imagine sitting on the screened back porch, enjoying some coffee or wine while watching your kids play just yards away at one of the best playgrounds you've ever seen.

Imagine hopping in your included golf cart and going Beachwalk's own Lake Kai, with swimming, fishing, boating and beach fun - or to beautiful Lake Michigan, with all it has to offer.

Imagine scrapbooking in a serene setting, with ample workspaces and top class amenities. Imagine a fun family football weekend, an easy drive to Notre Dame.

You're imagining yourself at Backgrounds of Beachwalk - your home away from home.

Just throw some clothes in you car and come on down. We've made it easy to consider our home, yours. With comfortable accomodations for 10-12 people in the Cason Park neighborhood of Beachwalk, and special amenities for families with young children, we know you'll have a fun, relaxing visit.

We offer Saturday-Saturday rentals during the summer, 2 day minimum off season. Come spend a week, or two!, relaxing in Beachwalk.

Beachwalk is a resort community in Michigan City, IN. The entrance to Beachwalk is directly across the street from a boardwalk going down to Lake Michigan's Sheridan Beach, at Stop 7.

Beachwalk is a community of colorful houses and happy people! In the summer there is a community swimming pool (and kiddie pool); snack shop, Lake Kai - for swimming, non-motorized boating and fishing; two playgrounds, including the Sandcastle Park, steps away from Backgrounds of Beachwalk; tennis court, basketball court, and other community areas.

Michigan City is a wonderful area - and only about an hour away from Chicago. There are may restaurants from fine dining to casual; a darling zoo; extensive parks and beaches and 2 municipal golf courses.

Winter fun includes sledding, cross-country skiing, and Michigan City's wonderful Festival of Lights.

And of course, year round, is Lighthouse Place Outlet Mall and Blue Chip Casino - each about 5 minutes away!

Our home is located in the Beachwalk Resort in Michigan City, IN - by Stop 7. Just a couple of minutes down the road from Long Beach, IN.

The Resort is across the street from Lake Michigan's Sheridan Beach, with a beautiful boardwalk going to the beach.

We are only about 5 minutes from the Lighthouse Place Outlet Mall, Blue Chip Casino, Washington Park Zoo and wonderful restaurants.

We are also within 30 minutes of all the New Buffalo area has to offer, as well as the Heston Train Museum.

Our place is an ideal location to stay when visiting Notre Dame for a game or graduation too!

Let me just say - what a fabulous home! We have 2 boys (6 and 4) and a 23 month-old daughter and this was a dream home for us. This was our first stay at Beachwalk and Backgrounds made us fall in love! The home is so well stocked, comfortable, charming, clean and fun. Thank you for for thinking of everything for the kids - safety gates, toilet seats, booster, kids dishes, toys, monitors, pack-n-play, etc!! The kids, even my boys played for hours with the toys and in the play kitchen. The location was great with all the trees around the house. I personally spent many hours on the porch swing enjoying the views and conversation with family/friends! The park kiddie corner from the home was perfect. The golf cart was a huge hit, and very helpful for going to the beach. I would highly recommend Backgrounds for any family with kids. We are so pleased and cannot wait to come back next year. This was the first year my 6-yr old actually was almost in tears that we had to go home. That says it all! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing home!!

You have a beautiful home… 2 young girls enjoyed hours of fun with the kitchen set/toys. The amenities for the children were remarkable. Your home is very family friendly with all necessities provided for a beach filled vacation.

We loved the kid-friendly house – lots of great toys! Our first house we booked in Beachwalk got double booked, and we landed here. We are so happy that happened! It is a nice, quiet, peaceful location back here.
