Close To Beach ~ Private Lovely Pool ~ Family-Friendly Vacation Getaway!

I would love to give this place one star so it would be open to our family next year but it was so excellent for my wife, two daughters and their families, 3boys that i would be disengenuous to do so. It was more spacious than we imagined and the back yard deck, hot tub and pool was exactly what we were looking for. It kept the kids entertained while we adults could relax. The pet friendly yard was a plus along with the 5 minute walk to the beach. And the host was very responsive. The hour and a half drive from our chicago west suburban village makes this place a future destination for years to come. Thanks to our host and Vrbo for a wonderful and memorable experience.

Great property! Pool was *chef’s kiss* and close proximity to beach did not require driving. Overall a great experience.

Very nice location close to beach and plenty of space inside for family activities. It was a little disappointing to have to buy toilet paper and hand soap.

I can't stress enough how nice this house is! The rooms are all so much bigger than they look in the pictures, and that back yard is MASSIVE. We had a group of three adults who stayed here as a "work from a different home" getaway. I'm really happy to report that the internet supported all three of us working and even videoing at the same time. The area is fantastic. I thought from the photos that we might be in a slightly crowded residential area and while we did have neighbors on both sides, there's so many trees that the property felt incredibly secluded. The beach is a really easy walk from the house. You're also a pretty close drive to hiking and other attractions. A few people have mentioned the Black Current Bakery and I'd love to throw in a mention for the Whistle Stop Grocery- we really liked our 40 minute round trip walk every morning for delicious coffees and pastries (it's about a 5 mintue drive). The kitchen had everything you'd want. I might suggest packing a few storage containers for leftovers, but otherwise was really well equipped. Bedrooms are all a good size with plenty of storage options. The back yard, as mentioned, is glorious. There's two grills in great condition, and plenty of room in the hot tub. There's also a fire pit and plenty of wood. We were too chilly to try the pool, but it looks pretty nice. One of my friends referred to the yard as "the country club!"I didn't need to communicate with Valery while there, but he was so helpful and quick to respond with a few questions I had while we were looking at the house. We received check-in instructions the day of our visit with plenty of time before we arrived.This truly was a wonderful week and such a nice house for a relaxing stay. I'd recommend it to anyone.
