This is a terrific little house! Super clean, well-equipped kitchen, and convenient to everything! If it had even an extra 1/2 bath, we would stay for a week or more. We were there for a long weekend for the Century of Progress home tour and this location was perfect. Also pretty close to the beach, which is why we usually come to this area!
