Gina and Keith are excellent hosts who respond quickly to any and all last-minute questions and obviously work hard to provide every amenity, small and large, to accommodate their guests. Our extended family, including adult children, their spouses, and four grandkids, enjoyed our stay and created some wonderful lifelong memories at the beach—made comfortable with plenty of beach towels, chairs, and an umbrella—and in the city, which is readily accessible by car or train. (They provide street parking permit but I’d recommend you rent a space or two in the garage for the most convenient access to the house.) Thank you, Gina and Kieth. We definitely hope to be back again!

The location is just steps away from the beach and Lake Michigan! The house is large and spacious. There was everything we needed right in the home. Definitely would stay again.

Pros • Perfect access to the lakeside, beaches, and a system of walking paths • Close to L transit, buses, and a bike station 1.5 blocks up • Grocery options a short bike or transit ride away • Ample dishware and flatware, dishwasher – pods provided • Well stocked kitchen with decent quality gear • Good Wi-Fi and Xfinity TV service • Good outdoor layout – large deck with bench seating, dining table • Large propane NexGrill in good working condition • Large lawn; great space for kids to run around • Basement level with open room and exercise equipment • Laundry room has large W/D on the basement level, and 3rd bathroom with shower Cons • Lower deck has some rot; there are exposed screw heads creating a safety hazard • Fridge water dispenser was not working properly; mgmt. said, “there is no replacement filter available.” • House has not had a recent deep cleaning e.g. dried grapes under the FR coffee table • Every room’s corners have spiderwebs and accumulated dirt. Dust and grime present on many surfaces and walls • Bedroom windows have no screens - no good way to flush room with fresh air • Ergometer not in working order • Other maint. items: broken seat chair, missing kitchen cabinet knobs, kitchen garbage slide-out has issue with left slide, missing front panel on fridge drawer, one stove burner does not light Overall we enjoyed our stay at this home and can recommend for people who need a lot of space, close to Lake Michigan, and enjoy great indoor / outdoor living.

Six adults spent the weekend and it was terrific. Great beach, parks and art. The owners are very responsive and parking was good- we rented the garage and parking passes were provided for the street. Even on the weekend we managed to park the 3rd car easily. We loved the area and short walk to the beach, we enjoyed the parade of beach goers from the front porch swing. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the beds are comfy. 😎

Keith & Gina were wonderful hosts! Location was perfect. Easy walk to Red Line for access to all we wanted to do. Beach & Lake Michigan were steps away.

Very comfortable house. We had 7 adults stay at the house for 3 nights. We enjoyed the deck & backyard in the evenings. Between the park/beach and the neighborhood, there was a lot to explore.

We were here to visit my son and celebrate his 30th birthday so the location was chosen because he lives two blocks away but when the weather was sunny it was an idyllic location a half block from the park and beach where we could go for a dip, take morning walks and runs. On Sunday we walked a few blocks to the farmers market and in the evening went to Roger’s Park Social, a great local bar. Also very close to the red line. The rooms were clean and spacious and the beds were comfortable. Beach towels and chairs were also provided.
