This was a perfect house for my family and I to celebrate the holidays. So much room, plenty of comfortable places to sleep and relax. It isn't just a beach house and can be used anytime of year. Parking was super easy. Amenities were just what we needed. Gina and Keith were really good to us.

Well appointed and nicely laid out house. Quiet neighborhood, grocery stores and restaurants nearby. Beach is a 1 minute walk from front door. Beds very comfortable.

Excellent communication with Gina, property was very clean. The house had everything we need for our party of 8. The location is as specified in the online listing. We also took the Red line (5 min walk from the house) train downtown one evening. All in all, would highly recommend this place. Plenty of good eating options closeby as well.

Fully equipped and comfortable for our group of eight. Situated on block from beach and four blocks from the red line. The host was very prompt and attentive. Great stay.

My family had a similar experience to one of the last reviews in Aug 2023. Let me break it down. Pros: -Great location, steps away from the beach and a park nearby. -Street parking available, and they provide permits, and there's also a garage you can rent -Worked w/ me to get me close to my budget Cons: -No central air: they're a/c units, however, they didn't seem to be cooling properly. One of the units clearly had mold. When I brought it up to Gina, it was essentially dismissed and said they'd been checked and there was no mold. Only when my brother in law took photos and sent them directly to her, was when action was taken. The unit ended up getting replaced a couple of days later. Please keep in mind, this was a safety/health issue. We had elderly folks, kids, and family members with asthma -Fire alarm went off several times, we presumed due to the heat in the home, as no one used the oven or did any cooking that day -My family saw a mouse in the kitchen; it was spotted twice -The door knobs were loose- had issue getting in the home. Gina was available to remedy and maintenance came out the next day to fix issue -Home was dirty: massive cobwebs and dirt/dust in many spots. -Kitchen sink literally coming apart from the counter -Unacceptable to rent a home in these conditions! Overall, the experience was not good. While there was *some* resolution, there was never even an apology for the inconveniences/conditions of the home. I have photos, unfort no way to attach.

The park and the beach were lovely. That was the best part of the trip! I'm so glad we rented the garage as parking on the street would have been impossible-it’s jam packed with cars most of the time. First impression was terrible as we encountered a homeless person in the alley on the way to the garage. (The next day, he & his belongings were thankfully gone.) The house is old but charming. The cleaning crew missed some things. As soon as we arrived, we had to sweep the upstairs due to sand. I checked out my bed sheets with a quick swipe of my hand - sand…I stripped the sheets and washed them immediately. The next morning my daughter said her sheets had sand as well & she threw them in the wash as well. The other beds were fine. Some of the doorknobs were loose. My husband shut one of the bedroom doors and when he tried to open it the doorknob came off in his hand. He’s a fixer upper type & fixed the problem knobs. The kitchen was well equipped but the sink appeared to not have any support other than the drain pipe. There was a gap between the top of the sink and the counter. For the amount of money we paid for the house, I expected better. But I’m totally unfamiliar with Chicago and guess that everything is pricey.

Me and my family had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home filled with character and perfect spaces for fun and comfort! Its literally steps away from loyola park and beach. The neighborhood is bustling with beach goers; there's everything you need within walking distance: stores, shops, restaurants, bars. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Five picky women enjoyed every inch of this lovely home. The home is one house away from the park and Lake Michigan beach. The kitchen and bathrooms were well provisioned - everything we needed, including a spare toothbrush. Comfy beds and fluffy towels. There are 3 bathrooms, which was fabulous for a bunch of gals. We used the deck and the propane fire pit - and we purchased the 2 extra garage parking spots to ensure parking (although if you time it right, you can park right in front of the house). Gina was incredibly responsive. Highly recommend.
