This place is perfect for anyone staying for their navy recruits graduation. Very close to base and lots of room for everyone. Our host was awesome. Had a few issues just with getting settled and she was great. Took care of everything extremely fast. Checked on us every day. I would highly recommend this vrbo.

Host was responsive. Beds were very comfy. We needed extra towels and hand towels and they promptly accommodated. House was over priced for provision. We paid a lot because we wanted a nice atmosphere to spend time with several family members. The house was slightly dirty and dusty and

Not Happy

Not what we expected for a rental home. Hardly anything in kitchen to cook a meal with, it was a struggle. Very dusty. Broken cabinets. Kitchen was aweful. Didn't use yard because weeds were really bad and furniture was dirty. Eating area was nice and beds were comfortable, bedrooms were decent, but dusty. Living room was comfortable. Also had to buy wash cloths for bathroom, they weren't provided. Air conditioning would shut off at 10 pm, we would sweat all night We made the best of it for the sake of just enjoying visiting our son, but we were so disappointed. Would not recommend at all.

Sleeps 11 seats 5 or 6 in the living room, big table...half bath in kitchen...is cold in the winter...have to park in the back...walk around to front.can parknon the street but not overnight. The main bathroom with tyb sbower is high but has handrail. It snowed while we were there...owner shoveled sidewalk once. Overall it suit our need..its not high end but it was nice. Plenty of towels...no wash clothes...clean..

Perfect location for navy bootcamp graduation

Only good thing was location of the home in convenience to navy graduation. Neighborhood is sketchy, heard gunshots very nearby. Tv in main living room had hard time staying connected to streaming was very frustrating, otherwise ok stay.

Graduation stay

It’s a great location to Great Lakes navy grad. I was impressed that they supplied trash bags and paper products. One room looked to be an addition, it got a little cold. Heaters were provided tho. I didn’t like not having access codes til I was in Chicago and trying to reach owners. All in all, it was great.

Excellent property, outstanding host!

This was my first booking with VRBO, we were in Chicago for my niece's Navy graduation. Sam, the host, was extremely communicative. I had sent him a question in the inbox and he called me within 3 minutes. The property is spacious, only 4 minutes from base and very close to a multitude of restaurants. Very clean, kitchen was not lacking in glasses / plates / accessories. We had a wonderful stay and I highly recommend Sam's house. Thank you again, Sam!!

It was okay

The property was in an okay neighborhood. A little further and it started to get sketchier. The house needed to more cleaning. It needed vacuumed and swept better. The most disappointing was that there were very little dishes in the kitchen to use which is a main reason we rent a VRBO. It was extremely frustrating. No cutting board, 1 dull knife, no cookie sheet,
