Home away from Home during the Holiday

Another terrific stay in a perfect location to visit family in the south Chicago suburbs and in NW Indiana. Great communication with the host throughout our time in Miller Beach. The house had everything we needed, plus more!

Lake Shore Home

The home and area were beautiful. Unfortunately, the attitude of Elena was not as desirable. There was a gas leak and while Elena did call the gas company, she refused to her have her maintenance man visit the property on the first night. Instead he came on Saturday morning and disturbed sleeping guests for a bit. We had to have our own person stop by to say they were maintenance to avoid having the gas completely shut off until morning. We had to pay our local person for his inconvenience which Elena said she wanted to at least tip him, and this never happened. On Sunday we honored an 81 year old guest with outdoor music from 5 - 6:30 pm. Shortly before 6 pm Elena called and said she received complaints. AT 6 PM? I verified noise ordinances are in place beginning 9 pm - 9 am. Seems quite odd that we were called around 6 pm when it was early and not very loud. We asked for a bit of a refund for our inconvenience and Elena declined, offering a menial amount, refusing to negotiate and then discontinuing communication. I have never used VRBO before and since all communication was with the host I did not even think that we would be looking for alternate accommodations. Elena tried to blame guests about timing if notifying her and such. There is no blame for people who paid in advance and could not even turn in the stove to cook for senior citizens either health concerns because of the gas danger. Elena was interested in her review rather than guest comfort/safety.

Laid back

The house was very nice. The set up was laid back. Only a small walk to the beach. Elena loves her art which made my boyfriend love the stay even more bc of his appreciation for art. We will most definitely be back. Thanks for welcoming us! See you soon!

Steps away from the Lake!

Elena was a very helpful and responsive hostess. The home was located next to an easy path to the beach. It took just a few minutes to walk, even with young children and a wagon. The outdoor shower made sand removal quick and easy. The patio/backyard was a wonderful place for the children to play while we cooked meals. We spent time visiting and playing games with family at the large tables. The parking area was level and had plenty of room. The home amenities exceeded our expectations. From dish soap to Kleenex, this home was ready for guests to relax and enjoy. We hope to see you again! ~ The Petty/Johnson family had a wonderful time!
