About the host
Hosted by Kristina and Rich
Rich and Kristina bought this house in 2020 during summer of Covid as an escape from their urban lives outside of Chicago. They are thrilled to share their peaceful getaway with others looking to slow down and relax in a beautiful beachside setting.
Why they chose this property
The second we set eyes on this house we knew it was the perfect vacation home. When you emerge out of the winding woods, turn onto the road, and see the vast deep blue waves of Lake Michigan, it will take your breath away. As a family that relocated from the east coast, we love Lake Michigan because it is as close as you can get to ocean living while still being in the midwest. This house is unlike other vacation homes in that it provides all the comfortable modern conveniences of home, but in a spectacular resort like setting.
What makes this property unique
+ We love its proximity to the beach. You literally open the door and walk a few steps and you are swimming in the water. We also love being able to take long walks on the beach whenever we want.
+ The large 3 decks make it ideal for hanging out with a glass of wine and soaking in the views.
+ We love that Meinert Park is at the end of the road. There is nothing more exhilarating that climbing up a large dune and then running down at top speed!
+ We love that the house is close to nearby shopping and restaurants and also activities like horseback riding and biking trails.
