Our Stay

The property was in a great location, we were there for my sister's graduation from Navy bootcamp. Liked the fenced in yard for the dogs and the quiet neighborhood it was in. The only issue I had was the uostairs neighbors wouldnt close and lock the front door after they left. Several times i found the front door and gate latch open, my dogs escaped the yard twice but i quickly got them bavk. Other than thag minor inconvenience the place was perfect and affordable to accommodate my needs during our stay in Waukegan.

Navy PIR Graduation

Centrally located to GL Navy Base, food, and shopping. Located in a quiet neighborhood. Quaint older home. It is a little drafty in Dec though. There are 2 parking spots that are often blocked by neighbors. Beds were comfy. The kitchen has just about everything you need to cook at home if your sailor prefers to stay in. It does lack in electrical plug ins so bring a portable charger to have your phone by the bed. The front bedroom has a lot of windows and is close to the road. The best bedroom is the one by the kitchen with the large bed. Great water temp and pressure. Also, quick response from property mgr if there are any problems.

Navy Graduation Family Gathering

The property is older with very creeky floors and busy road out front but the neighborhood was pleasant, easy to access and had designated parking in back. Everything I googled: grocery, food, Starbucks, NEX, Navy Grad, was all 7 to 14 min away (O'Hare about 30 min). The only thing we couldn't find was beach access but were close to drive to a peer. All towels, bedding, dish soap, trash bags, pots and pans, plates and cups, TP, paper towels, were comfortably provided. Minimum stairs for my mom to navigate, convenient back door and fenced yard for furbaby to go outside. My graduate was given weekend liberty and we were able to extend our trip into Monday, the host responded quickly and made the process seamless. This is not a new property and has the charm and quirks to prove it. Overall I would definitely choose this over a hotel. Highly recommend!!
