Many mention comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, and a quiet setting; one note is that the garden-level unit has high windows. Parking is appreciated but the on-site garage is tight for larger SUVs, with some guests opting for nearby street parking. Expect a beachside base with easy access to the city.

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 were visiting Northwestern, but this is actually closer to Loyola. Great spot for either one. We went out on the beach every day/evening for walks. We felt safe and comfortable on the beach and walking the neighborhood. Starbucks for breakfast at the end of the block and lots of restaurants within walking distance. The garage spot was a bonus, not too hard to maneuver into, and neighbors were very good natured about waiting for us to park. Very quiet at night too.

I stayed here early August (4 days/3 nights) with my wife and two kids (ages 4 and 2). The checkin process was smooth as the host provided detailed information on everything. The apartment itself is amazing, very well maintained and had all the amenities we needed and kid friendly. Location: it's a few hundred feet from the beach and walking distance to shops. It's perfect for driving into the city or the suburbs. The parking is tight! But we were able to fit a midsize SUV somehow. And having a garage rather than street parking was a huge convenience. The host was super responsive and other tenants were very kind. We will definitely stay here again next time!

The property is as advertised. The location is very close to the beach and secure, and private parking is available at an additional cost, but challenging for a larger SUV. The garden level was the only negative, but I would lease again.

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!

We stayed at this property for my daughter’s wedding. The property is immaculate!! And the location to the lake and beach is wonderful! Unfortunately we didn’t get beach time but if you are looking for this book it!! Our beds were comfy and the apartment was very quiet. Very nice area with easy walkable dining options since you are near Loyola. There is a nice park nearby as well. The host was extremely helpful and responsive and even offered a nail salon nearby for the wedding!! Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms even including a curling iron!! We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely book again.

Very clean and well thought out/supplied apartment on a lovely street a 30 second walk to Lake Michigan. There are 2 bedrooms, one larger master with en suite bathroom, and a second full bathroom and smaller bedroom. The unit is on the bottom floor so windows are high. Diane is friendly and responsive. The walk along the beach & out to an old lighthouse was a bonus. The street has mature trees and people walking dogs. There is a 7-11 on the corner and several restaurants walking distance. Target is near enough for us to walk to get groceries. So it's near some commercial activity but off to the side on a quiet street that ends at the Lake. We feel lucky to have found it, and would certainly stay again.

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!

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!

This was a great place to celebrate the holidays. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware and utensils to make Christmas dinner and we had plenty of room to gather for game night. Beds were comfy and all amenities were in good condition. The apartment looks brand new! Loved the shampoo/conditioner/soap dispensers in the shower! Will definitely be back next Christmas. Thanks for the hospitality!

We were in town to celebrate my husband’s birthday by going to Wrigley to see our Red Sox play. We arrived later from our flight but the manager had everything set up and had communication throughout! The place in a safe neighborhood and was updated and amazing in EVERY WAY! The beach was perfect and right there, the Red Line train is just a short walk away. I can’t say enough good about this place/location. I would definitely book here again!!!

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.

Great Communication, very detailed instructions on accessing the property. Now for our stay, my wife and I just loved this neighborhood. Just like the listing states, just steps away from the beach, my favorite thing to do from early in the morning to walking at night. You can’t go wrong at any location in this neighborhood

This wonderful VRBO apartment was perfect for our Chicago vacation! The location was amazing: beautiful, safe neighborhood just blocks from the beach/lake, CTA Red Line, and restaurants. It was clean and tastefully decorated. It was also abundantly stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The property manager was great and very attentive to ensuring we had a great stay! We visit Chicago often and will look to return to this property each time! Thank you!!

Very clean and well thought out/supplied apartment on a lovely street a 30 second walk to Lake Michigan. There are 2 bedrooms, one larger master with en suite bathroom, and a second full bathroom and smaller bedroom. The unit is on the bottom floor so windows are high. Diane is friendly and responsive. The walk along the beach & out to an old lighthouse was a bonus. The street has mature trees and people walking dogs. There is a 7-11 on the corner and several restaurants walking distance. Target is near enough for us to walk to get groceries. So it's near some commercial activity but off to the side on a quiet street that ends at the Lake. We feel lucky to have found it, and would certainly stay again.

The location of the property is located in a neighborhood setting that was wonderful to take a walk and explore. Close to the Chicago Transportation Authority metro and unique eateries for breakfast and lunch. The properties furnishings and home away from home style was nice to call homebase.

We were visiting Northwestern, but this is actually closer to Loyola. Great spot for either one. We went out on the beach every day/evening for walks. We felt safe and comfortable on the beach and walking the neighborhood. Starbucks for breakfast at the end of the block and lots of restaurants within walking distance. The garage spot was a bonus, not too hard to maneuver into, and neighbors were very good natured about waiting for us to park. Very quiet at night too.

I just love this neighborhood and the location. Everything is updated and works properly as van listed, shower is fantastic. The property is about a 2 to 3 minute walk to the beach. Love it.

The Holiday Lake House is on a quiet street, with easy access to many local restaurants and attractions. The condo is well appointed with many extra touches to welcome guests. We really loved our stay and will return for our next Chicago visit.
