Fantastic home and local area

This house was even better than advertised. So many activities for the kids at the house and in the neighborhood. Big trampoline and volleyball net in the yard. Walking distance to the beach and to a very large park with playground, pickleball, and tennis. We had a wonderful vacation for the entire family, only regret is that we didn’t stay longer.

Ideal Family Vacation Home!

Rarely can we find a place that the property actually exceeds the description. This home was extremely comfortable for multiple families and kids of all ages. The proximity to the beach was ideal for all of the little legs in our party, and when we wanted to go to further stops, the golf cart was so convenient (and fun)! We had some cold, rainy days during our vacation but that didn’t stop the indoor house fun. Thank you for providing such comfortable living spaces and games for all ages. We will be back, for sure!

Perfect for our Family

This home was perfect for our family of 7 adults and 6 kids. There were so many places to relax and lots of space to spread out. We hardly knew the four oldest rambunctious kids were there. Between the game room, trampoline, basketball goal and volleyball net, the kids always were entertained . The large screened porch was a favorite spot for chilling, dining, and playing our instruments we brought with us. The bedrooms were comfy and very quiet. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and Val, our host could not have been nicer! Everyone wants to come back next summer

Family Cacation

The owner was very responsive to our requests. The house was clean and very well represented by the pictures. We had a wonderful long weekend. The screened porch was a great place to eat dinner. The kids loved the trampoline and the new park that was just 0.3 miles from the house. Having access to the golf cart made getting to the lake and the park easy. We went to Shedd’s Aquarium one day and spent the other days relaxing. We would definitely stay there again if we are in that area!

Perfect House!

This house was perfect for our multi- generational family reunion. There was something for everyone ranging in age from 16-88. The home was very clean and well maintained. It had everything we needed, plus the added bonus of a golf cart with paddle board. Its very close to the beach and that made it extra enjoyable. The house was very spacious, allowing some alone for those that needed it. Our evenings consisted of ordering dinner in to enjoy the screened in dining area or outdoor fire pit area, fun outdoor games, and relaxing in the hot tub. The owner was very quick to respond to messages. I would definitely recommend this home for a fantastic stay.
