Communication with the hosts was fast, accurate and always friendly. This house is located in a very quiet neighborhood. Across the street is a wooded lot so it feels very private. Our last morning we woke up to 3 wild turkeys wandering through our front yard. Very peaceful. The house is exactly as described. Very clean, beautifully decorated. It has top of the lines appliances. The kitchen has all of comforts of home. Stocked with more amenities than we could have imagined. The hostess went above and beyond with all the extras. Our 2 dogs loved the completely fenced in back yard. The grill, hottub, outdoor pit and patio heater were all new and made outdoor living wonderful. We was even able to pull our car in garage! Not only did this make my car happy but also made it easy to bring in groceries and suitcases. It also helped with packing all the selection of beach supplies the hosts have for us to take to the beach. I would highly recommend this rental. Its perfect for a couple all the way up to a large family.

The house was clean and well stocked for a weekend getaway. Location was perfect for what we needed, close to the dunes national & state parks, beaches, restaurants, & coffee. The lake water was quite chilly but we had great weather for April to explore. Even took a day trip up to Chicago because we were so close. Binder at the house was so helpful for local recommendations. Would highly recommend this place!

We had a great stay! Lots of extras in the garage! Yard games, beach chairs, beach towels, beach toys, umbrella, etc. that was super helpful! Also a garage fridge!!!They even have kid fences at the top of the stairs which I think is great! My only negative was just how loud the floor is upstairs if you are sleeping in the basement. Other than that we had a great time and enjoyed the whole house!

Very nice

We stayed an entire week and really enjoyed our stay in this house. It was clean and nicely decorated, as well as nicely maintained. It had more than one could expect (or at least what I've encountered in the past) as far as items provided like garbage bags, bath supplies, towels, etc. The pictures looked exactly like the listing and it had great amenities (the hot tub, firepit, beach supplies). The neighborhood was nice and quiet and it was just a short walk to the beach, which we absolutely loved and utilized. I traveled with my family (2 adults, 2 young children) and my sister's family (2 adults, 2 young children) and there was plenty of room for all of us with some to spare. The location was great and close to beaches, restaurants, the casino, outlets, wineries/breweries and so much more. The hosts were incredibly gracious and excellent with communication. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend this place to friends or family members.

This is the best Air B&B I have stayed in and I travel a lot with my dogs. The totally fenced in yard to run around was a treat they enjoyed. It was so long we played bocce ball- would be perfect for corn hole or a portable net for badminton. Super clean- these hosts really went above and beyond providing domestic items most Air B&Bs don't. The location couldn't be better. You are within 5-10 minutes on foot to the beach (my elderly Mom was able to maneuver the rough trail to get there) but you could definitely use one of the parking lots next to the beach if you need to drive. You are a 5-10 minute drive from the Casino, the Botanical Garden, the Zoo, and many restaurants. Check out Cool Runnings for Jamaican- best I have ever had and I am from Chicago with many options to choose from by my home. Get the jerk wings, jerk catfish, and steamed cabbage. It was way to hot outside to get into the hot tub or use the manual firepit, but they were also brand new. You could tell that the layout of the property had vintage bones, but it's completely renovated. Did I mention there was a bar, darts, and ping pong in the game room downstairs??? My husband and I like to go to Air B&Bs by the Dunes for a short 1 hr 45 minute drive from Chicago. This is the one we will book from now on. Michelle was great. Only there when you need her and caretakers aren't near the property, so you can feel comfortable having the place all to yourselves. I LOVED it!
