We had a great vacation. The house was clean and as advertised. It was a short walk to the beach and zoo. The train station was a 5 minute drive. Our 6 year old loved the train ride to the Chicago aquarium for the day. Highly recommend the house and location!

Brett, So happy to hear that you had a great stay! I love hearing about your 6 year old enjoying the train, too! We love being able to jump on and avoid driving in traffic to Chicago! The aquarium and other museums are close by the train stops. Thanks for your kind review and being great guests!

This property and host are phenomenal! The home has a wonderful backyard, well-appointed kitchen, and is comfortable and tasteful throughout. Our kids loved the loft hangout space and beds, and there are so many games and books for kids and adults alike. It is walkable to the beach and we'llstocked with beach supplies. Thank you, Angie! We look forward to coming back again.

Wonderful weekend stay

Our hosts created a lovely home for our weekend. Everything was spotless and so welcoming (including the freshly baked banana bread!). The location was close to downtown for our dining and we enjoyed the fireplace for cozy evenings back at the house. Perfect!

Beautiful property with a 4 min walk to beach

This place is great! The owners were super friendly and communicative throughout our stay. The master bedroom has one of the most comfortable mattresses I've ever slept on! My spouse & I loved the fireplace and cozy kitchen, while my teenage son enjoyed the game room upstairs. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect property - great location

Owners took so much time and care to make sure everything you need for a great vacation is at the property. All the little extras and details made it special. The location is just a short walk to the beach and beach access is clean with a cart path and a restroom. We were also able to walk to Washington Park and the zoo. We really enjoyed the stay and highly recommend it.

The house was a short walk to the beach with lost of fun restaurants to check out. Host had everything covered from basic kitchen needs to all the thing needed for a fun day at the beach.

Wonderful!

We were so impressed with this place! The minute we walked in the door we knew we would love it. The finiahes are gorgeous and the whole place is full of lots of unexpected amenities. We are very picky with lodgings but all our expectations were met and then some. Such a comfy cozy retreat for our family of 5. We already can’t wait to book it again next year!

First class lodging

We were so impressed with all the little extras- sand toys, bikes, beach chairs, books, etc. Angie was incredibly helpful and responsive. The house was beautifully decorated and filled with everything you could possibly need. It was a short walk to the beach and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the beach and how few people were there. Wonderful stay!

Awesome House and Manager

Great house, very clean, with a nice beach vibe. Just a short walk to the beach with all the staples (beach cart, umbrella, chairs, coolers, etc.) available. Property manager was super friendly and responsive and even mailed us a couple items we left behind. Highly recommended!
