The place is awesome with a great kitchen (two of everything) connected to a living space where family can stay engaged. Every aspect of the house is built with quality as well as has a fantastic view of the beach.

The home was large enough for our gathering of 12 and we appreciated all the space - indoors and outdoors. The kitchen was well equipped also for a large group.

We had a great trip. The property manager was great to work with. The place is nice but needs some TLC and maintenance. We picked this house because it was large enough for our family the view of Lake Michigan and proximity to the beach. For what we paid I was a little disappointed in a few things. All but the master bathroom are very small. The freezer drawer was broke and the range only 2 burners worked. The property manager was aware and said they had parts on order. The stairs and path to the beach were over grown. The property manager did send someone out to clean it. One of the biggest issues was the pictures show a beautiful unobstructed view of Lake Michigan but the bushes/trees were so over grown we could not really see the lake or beach. This was extremely important to us because my 75 year old parents could not really get to the beach but wanted to see it and watch the family at the beach. The property manager said they could not fix it during our stay. Also there is not an outdoor shower it was just a lawn water hose. Over all the trip was great. The property manager was great to work with. The place at one time I’m sure looked just like the pictures and descriptions. It just needs some TLC and regular maintenance.

Short two day professional retreat with a small group. Great property, easy process. Thank you!

This is a great space to host a larger family get together. The property itself was good and very close to the beach with great views from its many balconies. The appliances and plumbing needs to be upkept a little better as well as some of the finishes (i.e. nail sticking out of some of the flooring, outdoor shower is broken, freezer drawer is broken). Overall this was a good experience but there is room for improvement.

The house was very nice for our family. Beautiful views of the lake, and the Chicago skyline. The house was a little further from the beachfront than we thought, but once established on the beach our family enjoyed out time very much. Thank you for sharing your property.

Wonderful location for our family get together. Everyone enjoyed the stay very much. There were mosquitoes to deal with, but they had some measures around to deal with them. Our families’ biggest limit was the four vehicle one. We worked around it with the off site but parking arrangements just didn’t fit in with the scale of the house and how great everything else was.

The property was in good shape. Beautiful home and view. Great energy. We loved the space and the bedrooms.

This house was great for a holiday getaway with friends. There were 8 of us and we all had plenty of space. The hot tub was great for the chilly weather that we were having. The views of Lake Michigan we're AMAZING. Overall it was a great stay. There were a few things that bothered us for how much money you spend per night: 1. The floors were not clean. After walking around barefoot for 5 min our feet were so dirty that we had to wash them. We wore shoes the rest of the time. (The kitchen floor grout should be white and it is black!) 2. The check in time is extremely late for a rental. We rent pretty frequently and this is the latest we've ever had. And the check out time is too early. You loose a lot of time on your stay with this being this way. 3. Shelves in the bathrooms were broken and the heated towel bar in the master bath did not work. 4. The hot tub cover was falling apart and on it's last leg. Due to it's condition it was hard to get on and off efficiently. Like I said, we had a great time and the house was just fine. However, for paying as much money as we did we were expecting a 5 star experience.

To start with the good - the views from the house are incredible. The sunset photos in the listing are completely accurate. The patio setup is absolutely beautiful. It was nice having direct access to the beach, although it's a bit of a hike. The house manager was quick to respond which we really appreciated. The house itself was okay - it's nicely decorated and the photos are somewhat accurate. However, the rooms themselves were smaller than we expected. There's no way we could have slept 25 people comfortably. We had 15 adults and 2 infants and that was pushing it, with the bathroom situation alone. The house also needs a deep clean. The floors are completely dirty and I wasn't comfortable walking barefoot in the house. Things were broken throughout the house - the heated towel bar didn't work, there was a broken shelf in the master bath, and the hot tub cover was broken. The shower pressure was pretty awful. The ceiling in the round living room was leaking water at one point. We were hoping for more of a 5-star experience from the house for the price we paid. Overall, it was a wonderful stay but it had more to do with the company and the views rather than the house itself.

After reviewing the listing, we were looking forward to our listing. Upon arrival, we were quite disappointed. We had expected much much better for the amount we paid. At the time of our search, there were better beach front properties at half the cost. Reasons for this are: - the photos were misleading. All the rooms were smaller than depicted in the photos. - the listing for the kids room said 2 twin bunks with a pic showing that but it’s actually a full with a twin upper bunk. - the place was not cleaned properly. The kids walked barefoot and their feet were black/dirty within minutes. - the knob of the shower next to the jacuzzi popped off and scared the children. Water was rushing out until the manager could come and shut the valve. I reached out to the owner prior leaving this review. She apologized for the poor experience. She said they will update the listing/photos and that they did a thorough cleaning after we left. She then started ignoring subsequent attempts to reconcile. My recommendation for those considering this property is that it is way overpriced for what you get. And keep your expectations low.

The property was absolutely perfect for our quick friends get together. Space and ambience was exactly as advertised. Property management was super accommodating and friendly making sure we enjoyed our stay.

I want to complaint about our recent stay at your facility from August 7th — August 9th. It was our first experience here, and the main reason we paid a lot of money per night was to utilize the beach, as beach view houses always have an easy accessibility to the beaches. The main purpose of spending money for a beach front house is the utilization of the beach otherwise I would have opted for a house half a block or so from the beach at much cheaper rate.We were really really disappointed and frustrated that we are not told about the closure of the beach at the booking of our house. We did the online booking on August 6th and the beaches were closed since July 29th, and all of us felt like we were deceived by hiding this important aspect. It just does not justify the large amount that we paid only for 2 nights, as main purpose was to utilize the beach with our kids and unfortunately both days the cops on the beach moved us away from the beach more towards the eastern side and we were not able to utilize the beach infant of the house which was our main goal and the reason behind spending that much amount. If you would have mentioned it on your booking site we would not have bothered to book the house and hiding this fact to me is a fraud. When you travel in any areas like in Disney or any resort, and their water ride or any resort is closed they will always tell you beforehand before buying a ticket to keep it fair for the customers. By concealing this fact that beaches were closed is a deception and cheat to the customers and it felt like we were robbed by paying that hefty amount per night.I requested beach rentals to consider that at least half of our money should be reimbursed back to us for the non-utilization of the beach because of beach closure which was not reported to us at the time of booking. It was fair with both the parties, but nothing was done regarding it. I will never recommend this place to stay.

Plenty of room for our family! Loved the well equipped kitchen for big meals. Can't beat the location and the views!

“At Villa Santorini you can expect lots of room to spread out, easy access to the beach, and a kitchen with all the comforts of home. The house was ready to go when we arrived and if something came up, the house manager was quick to respond with a solution. Our family of 18 ranged in age from 72 to less than 2 and we all found something special there. We enjoyed watching the sun rise on the beautiful balconies. The kids loved playing in the beach and used the raised area in the center of the round room as a stage for their "shows." We spent a couple days in Chicago using a nearby train depot to get there. We also enjoyed visiting the Dunes and the cute little towns nearby: Portage, Michigan City, Chesterton, and St. Joseph, MI. The property overlooks a public beach with a paid parking lot and a concession stand. We didn't feel it was overwhelmingly crowded and it was kinda fun to people watch from the balcony. Still felt very private up on the hill. This property offered many little touches that you might not anticipate: beach towels, beach toys, and beach chairs, outdoor shower, 2 dishwashers, lots of kitchen gadgets, several mini fridges throughout the house. Overall we had a great experience and hope to visit again!”

We had a group of 12 staying at Villa Sanatorini and it was perfect. Everyone had plenty of space, the views were wonderful and the kids loved being able to walk down to the beach whenever they wanted. We stayed in late April so the weather was a bit unpredictable, but it was a great get-a-way. Conveniently located. We visited the Indiana Dunes State Park and next time plan to take the train into Chicago. This is the perfect extended family vacation spot! The only downside to the property is that it is not handicapped accessible and the driveway does not allow for easy unloading. Overall, it is a place that we will definitely look at staying at again with our group!
