Fantastic!

We booked Kerry’s place because of the pictures and the location. The place is as beautiful in person as they are in the pictures and the location was perfect for us - walking distance to some fantastic coffee and breakfast spots and a short drive to averything else we needed. Check in was super smooth and Kerry was incredibly responsive to any of our queries. Highly recommended!!

Great Experience

Everything about this rental, and our stay, was wonderful. The set up was just right for us (one grandparent, two parents, a 4 1/2 year old and a 2 1/2 year old). A bonus was child equipment and toys and books. The owner was immediately responsive to our questions and requests. Although there was a garage, even in a winter storm, there was convenient street parking as well. Calling this rental "great for traveling families" was not an overstatement. We plan to make this our go to rental when we visit the area. Thanks so much to the host.

Lovely house in great location

Was a great space for our short trip. Plenty of space for my husband and myself, our two toddlers and my parents. Lots of great options to walk to nearby plus easy driving distance to downtown, Chicago Botanic Gardens, Ba Hai Temple and beach. The house has what you need. Beds are comfy, bathrooms wonderful. It was perfect for us to have two living spaces and good wifi that allowed for us to work remotely or for my parents to get some quiet time away from the kids. Only advice for those booking the kitchen has good selection pots and pans etc but if you plan to cook you need to bring salt, pepper, oil etc.
