Summary: I grew up nearby and knew some of Gary is rundown, but this was not the case here in Miller Beach. The neighborhood is older and the property next door is abandoned, but THIS property is well-maintained, the host was very responsive, and it's 2 blocks from the water. We had a great time at the beach, exploring the dunes, and even just hanging out watching some TV.
