Great stay! Highly recommend. Host was ever attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. House is big and spacious and close to lots of restaurants and everything you’ll need to enjoy your stay. Would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you.
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.
This was a great stay. Cute house with all the amenities . The neighborhood was quiet and close to everything. Definitely recommend for any families coming in for Navy graduations, the house is five minutes away from Great Lakes Navy base.
Its comfy family house.Near in Naval base,super market and restaurant. Well recommended to stay for graduation or vacation. The owner is fast to communicate. Our overall stay is ❤️.Thank you so much💕💕💕
Very convenient to stores, restaurants and the Navy Base all in all we had a wonderful stay very appreciative of all the amenities that were included with our stay.
Close to everything for My Son Graduation . We where less then 5 Miles from the Navy Station. I like that We had 6 Beds for everyone could sleep.
The Kitchen was perfect for cooking meals.
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’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.
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)
Very convenient for everything I needed to do. Was contacted see if everything was okay!!

It was truly a home away from home. We visited the area for our son’s Navy Graduation. The home was warm and cozy, giving us a perfect place to reconnect.
Host was very hospitable and understanding. The house has a lot of character and is charming and homey plenty big enough to accommodate many people . Very clean it was equipped with everything you may need . Thanks Chicago ..

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
We stayed for 4 nights, quiet neighborhood, super close to the base, host is awesome and a long time resident of the area. Great place for bigger groups coming to see loved ones graduating from the Navy!
I rented this home for my daughter's boot camp graduation ceremony which was super close to the house. I heard there was a lot of traffic going to the naval Base and I wanted some place where I could just walk to the ceremony and this was a perfect solution. It was a 45-minute walk to the gate to the the Navy boot camp center. The home definitely felt homey and cozy. It is an older home and It could use a deep cleaning, it was easy to overlook this because of the cozy vibes and easy access to my daughter's graduation. They gave plenty of towels and washcloth to use. Fully stocked for cooking. Very quiet neighborhood. It's kind of out there in the middle of The suburbs so I definitely suggest getting a rental car to get to nearby restaurants or stores. I felt very safe in this home and in this neighborhood. If you're just wanting a nice place to relax with your graduate from the Navy and be able to just unwind, this is a perfect spot!!! We had a little hiccup when we arrived with a refrigerator but seriously after texting with the issue there was a maintenance guy within 5 minutes. The problem was solved and the maintenance guy was super sweet. Very great communication, very easy stay, And if I was to ever go back to this neighborhood I'd definitely book this place again.
