Great place for visiting Loyola

The location was great for our visit of Loyola. It's walking distance to the school, a few restaurants, and close to the L. The property is clean, the beds are comfortable, and it was one of the best "stocked" VRBOs we've ever stayed in.

Great Location and Great Host

We were so happy with the location. The lake is right at the end of the street, the leaves were changing and the weather was perfect for us after a very long and hot Arizona summer. The host Diane was great. We would definitely book again.

Wonderful - would absolutely come back again!

So clean and welcoming with a terrific location just steps from a lovely beach! The property was very clean, comfortable and well-kept, and looked like the kitchen and bathrooms had been recently re-done (loved the tile and fixtures!). The shower in the master is a spa-like experience! Great communication with the owner, too. So happy with our stay, and we would absolutely look forward to saying here again!

Perfect stay.

Overall we were extremely happy and comfortable here. The close proximity to the beach was phenomenal and our dogs loved their walks. Unit is stocked with everything you need. Host was gracious and helpful. Unfortunately, we were unable to maneuver our SUV into the garage, but we easily found nearby street parking. Will likely stay here again!

We loved our stay at the lake side home with amazing amenities. So clean and set up is amazing. Diane provided us with beach chairs and they works so well!

Hello Lake Michigan

We enjoyed walking to and along the lake, the great mural project, the view of downtown from the pier, easy "el" access, and the sparkling, modern interior of the unit, which had a fantastic array of kitchen equipment. I particularly appreciated the full spice drawer and coffee filters etc.

Beautiful Place!

The place was even nicer in person than it was in the pictures. It was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the shower was amazing! It was a beautiful place to come back to each evening. Diane was so friendly and accommodating, and the neighborhood was very nice. We loved seeing the bunnies in the yards and even met a friendly neighbor and her dog. The kids loved the place too, especially because the beach was a very short walk away. It was also a short drive to everything we wanted to see. We loved our stay!

Very nice

We’re a family of four and enjoyed our stay. The property was super clean, well designed, & stylish. We walked to Starbucks, the beach, giordano’s pizza, a sushi/poke bowl restaurant, & Loyola’s campus. The host was very responsive and helpful. We took an Uber to Navy Pier & the Magnificent mile and we took a boat tour on the river. A great weekend stay for the kids to get to experience Chicago life. Thanks for letting us enjoy your property!
