This property was everything we had hoped for and so much more. We were getting together with extended family which included adults and young children/babies. Pam was fantastic to work with. She was very quick to respond to questions we had while booking and leading up to our trip. The house was beautiful, clean, very organized, and had EVERYTHING we needed (fresh linens, soap, shampoo, dishwasher and detergent, clothes washer and dryer with detergent, coffee/tea/creamer, salt/pepper, napkins, paper towels, crockpot, blender, all the kitchen supplies you could imagine, grill, DVD player and Smart TV) . . . and even things we didn't realize we needed until we were there (beach towels, beach supplies including lots of beach chairs, a beach wagon to get things down to the beach, small cooler, stand-alone ice maker, bottled water, board games for all ages, a portable blue-tooth speaker, heated outdoor shower to rinse off beach sand before entering, and so much more). The house itself was amazing with two screened in porches in the back (one on each level, perfect for playing games in the evening or eating), a super comfy porch swing on the second floor front porch that was perfect for reading or just watching the stream of people passing by to go to the lake or pool, and a second story deck above the garage in the back perfect for evening cocktails and lounging on the huge sectional. The neighborhood was fantastic - we felt like we had stepped into a tropical paradise with all the beach grass yards and golf carts around the neighborhood (we were visiting in August) - all within just over an hour drive from Chicago. The pool was great (warm, clean, separate fenced wadding pool for toddlers) and very close (about half block walk). We'd walk the block to the beach entrance each night for the sunset. People around the neighborhood were so friendly and we felt very safe. There was plenty of parking for our 4 vehicles. We have several runners in our family who all enjoyed being able to run around the area. It was amazing. I can't say enough great things about this place. We would highly recommend it and hope to return again in the future!
