The property is very nice, clean and comfortable. You cannot beat the proximity to the beach - we loved being able to head back for lunch and a sun break. The pier and restaurants are walkable, but your far enough that its not crazy busy. As others have noted, the train is close by - but it didn't bother us or our kids. Communication with the 'host' company was great. Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed in a great little two-bedroom apartment which was large enough for our family of 5. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, and having a washer and dryer inside of the apartment was a HUGE bonus. Location is great as it is only one block from the beach entrance, and it is a short walk to the pier. I was happy to not be so close to the pier that we could hear the noise and traffic all night. The train behind us didn't bother us at all. We will definitely consider this spot the next time we visit Old Orchard!

We enjoyed our stay. The apartment was small but clean. Close to the beach and a small store around the corner that serves food and groceries. The only downside is access to the building. It was very frustrating getting in and out. The lockbox at the front door, accessing the key and bringing things in and put was incredibly frustrating.

Nice place to stay on the beach - nice place and good communication with the owner.

Overall it was a pleasant stay. The property is very clean and updated. Located just a short block from the beach; however it is right alongside an active railroad. Property managers were very helpful with communication before and during the stay. We did have an issue with the front door key not working and it was inconvenient not being able to leave until the issue was resolved. They use lock boxes with keys as opposed to electronic keypads for entry. The unit was well equipped with essential items as well as plenty of extra towels, pillows etc. Last negative about our stay was the thermostat program was somehow locked. We were able to make the unit cooler, but it must have been programmed (intentionally or accidentally) to increase the heat to 85 degrees at 3am. Went to bed comfortable but woke up stifling hot every night. Nevertheless, these are small issues that can be properly addressed in future.

This condo was newly renovated, and wonderful,

The Beach Abode is well located, 1 block from the beach and 15 min walk to The Pier and Palace Playland. The place was clean and confortable. My only complaint would go the the key system. A code is perfect while travelling since you don’t have to carry around the keys but I think a code door lock would be an improvement. We found the actual pad lock system not easy to deal with when your hands are full with beach stuff or groceries. It would avoid also a situation where somebody took off with the building key and we couldn’t get in.

Clean and cute property in OOB. Communication was great and when we accidentally got locked out someone was there to assist within 10 minutes. Looks just like the photos. FYI the train runs very near but didn't bother us - in fact the kids loved it when they saw it (maybe 2x a day). The beach is a 3 minute walk. Recommend!
