I stayed with my family that included little kids. The kids enjoyed the sand and being able to walk right out onto the beach. Great location to a public beach. We could see Chicago the whole time. The area was really nice and we felt safe. Definitely recommend a stay here!!

Perfect Lake Michigan stay right on the lake! Beautiful sunset views! Easy walk to and from the beach. Plenty of space for our family of 6. Kitchen well stocked to make meals and comfortable beds. Enjoyed making s'mores over the fire pit and relaxing on the deck. Wish we had booked a few more nights.

My boyfriend and wanted a weekend getaway for my Birthday and with Covid we wanted to be safe and this place was perfect! The view of the Lake with the beach is amazing. You can hear the waves crashing and see the Chicago skyline. The townhome was immaculately clean. All of the touches in the home were much more upscale then most VRBOs I have stayed in. There was everything you needed in the kitchen to cook. The wood burning fireplace was so cozy. We went into the city for a few hours one day and it was a very easy 40 min drive. My only complaint was that the toilet paper was very cheap,one ply. But really that’s stretching to find a compliant. I 100% would stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us for the weekend!
