Weekend at the beach
This place is not far from Lake Michigan. We enjoyed watching the sunset at the beach the night of our arrival. There was 5 of us and we all had a place to sleep. It is an adorable house. Outside area is nice and spacious. Basement is fun and living room on first floor is bright and functional for eating and playing games.

About the host

Hosted by Chauna Rivera-Gibbs

Host profile image
My names is Chauna and I reside in a tiny town surrounded by cornfields in Illinois! I am an avid traveler and love exploring new places!

I have been to Japan, Jamaica, Italy, Greece, Costa Rica, Mexico, Spain, Canada, most of the U.S. and a few stops on a Caribbean cruise that I took several years ago and can't quite remember each location! Ireland is my next international destination and Hawaii is next up for the U.S.!

I am a real estate investor focused on short-term and mid-term rentals. I'm in the process of starting a design & decor business with my cousin, which will launch in 2023. I am a part-time bartender, which is super fun! And it is my 2023 goal and career dream to become a Flight Attendant for a major international airline!

I am happily married and a proud momma to a teenage young man, as well as three very mischievous but adorable kitties!

On my spare time I like to read, listen to podcasts and journal!

Why they chose this property

It is because of my love for travel that I decided to start hosting my property on VRBO! The opportunities that these platforms give to people that love to travel are remarkable!

I was inspired to become part of the STR world because of my own personal experiences and I chose to start with Michigan City, IN because it is close to so many exciting and fun things to do! My girlfriends and I love to take mini weekend trips together, and that inspired me to design this space with girls' weekends in mind!
