Note: we live above the basement and though we do our best to be quiet, we do have a dog who may, on occasion, bark. You may also hear us walking or floor boards squeaking. In terms of us hearing guests - oddly - we rarely do! Even if we did, we don’t mind. We welcome the sound of music and children having fun and even baby cries. It all makes us smile There are beach towels and chairs, an umbrella, beach toys for young kids and a wagon in the garage. The outdoor shower will help remove sand from your feet and pets. There is a pet towel on the inside hall hook. There is also a small table with a couple chairs (and an ashtray) outside the door. There is plenty of parking either in your private driveway (two cars) or in front of the house. Access entry via the lockpad on the gray door next to the garage door with the code which will be sent to you a few days before your arrival. Your privacy will be respected but we will be available if you need us. Miller Beach is a neighborhood within Gary, IN, which has a rich history as a Steel Mill town. Though it has suffered economically over the past several decades, the people here are working hard to turn it around. We moved to Miller six years ago because it's beautiful and diverse in ethnicity, religion, politics and gender identification. We are proud to live in a community that treasures individual freedom. We are steel workers, artists, political activists and beach-lovers. We welcome you to our eclectic little community. Beach access is right down our street - through the trees and over the dune!
