Many people are surprised to find that Indiana is a haven for sun worshippers, with over thirty miles of sandy beaches in the northwest corner of the state.

Besides wonderful beaches and great swimming, this area provides quick access to the big city delights of the Windy City, Chicago. From the beach cities of Ogden Dunes, Beverly Shores, and Long Beach (Michigan City), Chicago is just one hour away. Enjoy sun and sand during the day, world-class restaurants, theater, and concerts in Chicago. It's all here in Indiana. And with a multitude of Indiana vacation rentals by owner in all price ranges, enjoying this Midwestern gem is easy.

One of the most popular vacation destinations in this area is the acclaimed Beachwalk community development. Modeled on the vernacular architecture of the famed Seaside, Florida community, Beachwalk delights and charms with its simple pleasures. A short stroll to a beautiful private stretch of sandy beach, Beachwalk is a wonderful place to take it easy and simply enjoy life. Blessed with charming architecture and a wonderful laid-back vibe, Beachwalk has become a new favorite of stressed-out Chicago weekenders looking to unwind. With access to a host of fine restaurants and close to the city, it's no wonder Beachwalk has become a new favorite.

Further west down the shore are a couple of delightful beach communities, Beverly Shores and Ogden Dunes. Both are on the fringe of the wonderfully unique Indiana Dunes and both specialize in a special, laid-back charm. Beverly Shores boasts one of the most desolate stretches of sandy beach on Lake Michigan. Great for a stroll, a swim, or a magnificent sunset over the skyscrapers of Chicago, Beverly Shores is a hidden little gem for you to discover. There are a number of Indiana vacation rentals by owner units in this area from which to choose.

Ogden Dunes is similarly laid-back and is even closer to the attractions of Chicago. Both of these places have an electric inter-urban train, called the South Shore, that makes frequent stops in these beach towns and goes directly to the heart of downtown Chicago. Taking the South Shore to one of the many summer festivals and free concerts in the city is a time-honored tradition among both Hoosiers and visitors to the state.

Downstate, the topography shifts from the typically flat Midwestern terrain to a hilly, rolling character that's more southern in nature. Brown County, just outside of Bloomington and Indiana University, is a must-see of visitors in this part of the state. Blessed with magnificent fall foliage and small-town charm, Brown County has been a favorite for generations. Nashville, the county seat of Brown County, is a former artist's haven that's now a favorite among visitors for its shops, restaurants, and festivals. Just heading out of town and taking a cruise and looking at the spectacular colors and discovering friendly little towns like Needmore or Gnaw Bone is a special Hoosier treat. In this area, there are a number of Indiana vacation rentals by owner, from rustic cabins to condos, from which to choose.

From beautiful sandy beaches and charming beach towns, to rustic, friendly small-towns nestled in rolling hills, this is a place that's long on affordable, laid-back charm. and with a wealth of Indiana vacation rentals by owner, enjoying this Midwestern gem is easier than ever.
