Loved it! The place looks exactly like the pictures. It was clean and tidy when we arrived. The sunroom is wonderful!!! My favorite part of the entire place. Very close to downtown as well. No complaints! Would definitely stay again next time I’m in town.

Perfect!
This small get away is beautiful, comfortable and well located. While the entire home is up to date and clean, the back porch is a real winner!

About the host

Hosted by Sheilah O'Shea

Host profile image
Investor in Chicago & surrounding areas for the past 10 years. I choose places that I personally stay and enjoy with family and friend's!

Why they chose this property

I always wanted a getaway from the city in a quaint beach town that I could walk everywhere and enjoy the beach life...and this is my little gem.

What makes this property unique

I covet the open floor plan so everyone can be part of everything no matter if you are prepping dinner, playing board games at the dining room table or relaxing in the family room. Backyard has ample space for socializing and activities for all ages. Sunroom is my favorite spot year round!
