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!!

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.

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)

I rented this home for my daughter's boot camp graduation ceremony which was super close to the house. I heard there was a lot of traffic going to the naval Base and I wanted some place where I could just walk to the ceremony and this was a perfect solution. It was a 45-minute walk to the gate to the the Navy boot camp center. The home definitely felt homey and cozy. It is an older home and It could use a deep cleaning, it was easy to overlook this because of the cozy vibes and easy access to my daughter's graduation. They gave plenty of towels and washcloth to use. Fully stocked for cooking. Very quiet neighborhood. It's kind of out there in the middle of The suburbs so I definitely suggest getting a rental car to get to nearby restaurants or stores. I felt very safe in this home and in this neighborhood. If you're just wanting a nice place to relax with your graduate from the Navy and be able to just unwind, this is a perfect spot!!! We had a little hiccup when we arrived with a refrigerator but seriously after texting with the issue there was a maintenance guy within 5 minutes. The problem was solved and the maintenance guy was super sweet. Very great communication, very easy stay, And if I was to ever go back to this neighborhood I'd definitely book this place again.
