Our time at this rental was beyond an absolute dream come true! The home is beyond gorgeous & the views from all the many windows are breath taking! We traveled for our son's grad from Navy boot camp. In my excitement to reserve the house for our trip I somehow managed to skip through insurance for a refund if a cancelation or date change for travel was needed. I didn't realize it at the time of checkout but wasn't worried as we were so close to graduation time and couldn't foresee anything going wrong, until it did. SO close to PIR date our son was injured & delayed several weeks while recovering in medical. We lost a LOT of money when we had to cancel & rebook, very painful loss. PLEASE be so careful & take your time at checkout to make sure you have purchased this insurance! You never know what can happen. We were so thankful that we were able to rebook for his new PIR. We had a large group of family traveling, & more than anything we wanted a beautiful home to welcome him all together when he was granted his liberty. This home was everything we could have wanted! Base access was quick and easy, the beach was beautiful, lots of room to cook, grill, play games, read, eat together, rest & not feel crowded. There are a lot of stairs & no bedrooms on the 1st floor which was hard for my mom. LOVED our stay here & recommend to all Navy fams for PIR! Owners are very kind and helpful.CHERISHED MEMORIES! only bad part was having to leave! Thank you so very much-all that we needed!

We stayed here for our daughters, navy graduation. It was about 10 minutes from the rental house, which was very nice .. The house is very nice and roomy, plenty of space for everyone . Two dining room tables , so that was very nice. We gathered at one to eat and the other to play games. Surfaces were clean. It does show a large backyard, but there is no access to it due to the some bad spots in the porches. They have those blocked off. But we did not need that as we did not bring our children with us. But there is a very nice playground right across the street. So it is still a great place for kids to stay.. very convenient to town and shopping malls, etc. everything is within 20 minutes drive. We drove into Chicago and it is about an hour and 15 minutes. Which was not bad at all.The

House is creaky. Rooms are all spread out with more sitting rooms than sleeping rooms. House was well stocked. Biggest complaint all bedrooms were up 2 or 3 flights of steps. No AC and the entire house was hot. The bedrooms had tiny fans, but even at night the bedrooms were 86 degrees.
