Not Happy

Not what we expected for a rental home. Hardly anything in kitchen to cook a meal with, it was a struggle. Very dusty. Broken cabinets. Kitchen was aweful. Didn't use yard because weeds were really bad and furniture was dirty. Eating area was nice and beds were comfortable, bedrooms were decent, but dusty. Living room was comfortable. Also had to buy wash cloths for bathroom, they weren't provided. Air conditioning would shut off at 10 pm, we would sweat all night We made the best of it for the sake of just enjoying visiting our son, but we were so disappointed. Would not recommend at all.

Sleeps 11 seats 5 or 6 in the living room, big table...half bath in kitchen...is cold in the winter...have to park in the back...walk around to front.can parknon the street but not overnight. The main bathroom with tyb sbower is high but has handrail. It snowed while we were there...owner shoveled sidewalk once. Overall it suit our need..its not high end but it was nice. Plenty of towels...no wash clothes...clean..

Graduation stay

It’s a great location to Great Lakes navy grad. I was impressed that they supplied trash bags and paper products. One room looked to be an addition, it got a little cold. Heaters were provided tho. I didn’t like not having access codes til I was in Chicago and trying to reach owners. All in all, it was great.

Excellent property, outstanding host!

This was my first booking with VRBO, we were in Chicago for my niece's Navy graduation. Sam, the host, was extremely communicative. I had sent him a question in the inbox and he called me within 3 minutes. The property is spacious, only 4 minutes from base and very close to a multitude of restaurants. Very clean, kitchen was not lacking in glasses / plates / accessories. We had a wonderful stay and I highly recommend Sam's house. Thank you again, Sam!!

It was okay

The property was in an okay neighborhood. A little further and it started to get sketchier. The house needed to more cleaning. It needed vacuumed and swept better. The most disappointing was that there were very little dishes in the kitchen to use which is a main reason we rent a VRBO. It was extremely frustrating. No cutting board, 1 dull knife, no cookie sheet,

It was perfect for our needs

We were in North Chicago for PIR. It is less than 2 miles to the ceremony (we walked to avoid traffic and parking), there are ample rooms and beds for a family crew. Space to cook and serve and lounge about while your sailor decompresses. Restaurants are near enough (we got pizza from LouMalnatis in Gurnee), and grocery stores were close too. Communication was spot on, every time I had a question, they were on top of it (no issues, just questions)
