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.

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 perfect for our needs

We were in North Chicago for PIR. It is less than 2 miles to the ceremony (we walked to avoid traffic and parking), there are ample rooms and beds for a family crew. Space to cook and serve and lounge about while your sailor decompresses. Restaurants are near enough (we got pizza from LouMalnatis in Gurnee), and grocery stores were close too. Communication was spot on, every time I had a question, they were on top of it (no issues, just questions)

Perfect place for Navy graduation

The home is beautiful and served our family very well! We had 6 adults and there was plenty of room. Price was great and Sam is a joy to work with. He’s very responsive and checked on us. The base is like 3-5 minutes away. So convenient! Thanks so much 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,

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.

Son’s Naval Graduation

This was the perfect property for anyone that is attending the naval graduation ceremonies. It’s about a 5 minute drive from where the ceremony is held yet in a very quiet neighborhood. It was the perfect location for all of us to be together and celebrate without having to coordinate hotels, restaurants, etc. The host was amazingly nice and quick to respond to any questions we had. Was even flexible on my check in and check out times, although I didn’t end up needing them, it was still nice to know that they would let me. I would def stay again. A++++
