We were in North Chicago for my sons Navy graduation. The house was a little big for what we needed but we wanted him and his girlfriend (now fiancee) to have privacy. It was so close to rhe base, about 1 mile. The hosts communication was excellent. They responded almost immediately. We had no issues. The beds were very comfortable. Would highly recommend

⸻We had a wonderful stay! The host was amazing and always quick to respond to any questions, which made everything so easy. The house was very clean and comfortable. The location was also great—just a five-minute drive from the Navy Recruit Training Command. It was perfect for us since we were in town for our son’s Navy graduation. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely recommend this rental!

Fabulous location if you're coming for Navy boot camp graduation. So close to the base.This house has everything you need and can accommodate large families. The house is clean, stylish, and had everything we needed. Pool table, air hockey, sauna, and backyard with grill and fire pit were an additional bonus!

Everything was great. Would have liked the couches so you could watch tv that’s all my sailor wanted to do so we moved the and moved them back when we left. The house was perfect other wise. Perfect location to the base.

Very nice and newly remodeled property. Would definitely recommend. Property owner was pleasant and attended to maintenance issues promptly. Pool table and air hockey tables were fun to play on. There is even a sauna on the property but we did not use it. Great location for being near the Naval base.

At first there was some miscommunication with the pet fee but after a few emails it was resolved. The location is fine, but the living area in the house is a little tighter than expected.

Thanks for your review. Sorry for the inconvenience with the pet fees. It is clearly described in the check-in instructions and how to add as a separate line item based on the no of pets and we were able to resolve this quickly. The living room is exactly as shown in the listing pictures. We hope you had a fun time with your family.

We had a great stay in Pramod’s home! There were so many amenities available to us that normally rentals don’t have; little thoughtful things like hand soap, paper towels, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent and Kcups! There was even a hair dryer and shampoo. The appliances were updated and the property was so clean. It was -35 degrees during our stay so unfortunately we weren’t able to take advantage of the outdoor fun, but there is a wonderful backyard and pool table and tiki bar in the garage. We were there for RTC graduation and the location was perfect - a quick drive straight to the base! The neighborhood doesn’t offer much but Pramod has some great dining suggestions for us that were a 10/15 minute drive. It was a wonderful stay for my family of 7 adults!

This being my first short term dwelling experience, I could not help but feel as if I was on the 15th floor of a 5 Star hotel. Imagine, if you would, a floor plan designed for merriment, fantasy and fun. The repetitive uuhhs and aawws sounded like a rehearsed melody. Available amenities made it instantly feel like a home away from home. Bring your expectations and become surprised and satisfied at the same time. No need to worry or think shoulda, couldda woulda because everything you’ll need is already there. Without giving much more away, my stay at this well thought out get-away was one that I’ll always remember and never forget.

This was a very cute bungalow. It's old but well maintained. There was a roach in the bathroom, not the big cockroach but a small roach. I didn't see any signs of uncleanliness anywhere in the home, so we chalked it up to coming from outside. This isn't the best neighbor but we enjoyed ourselves. I'm prior military myself and many military installations aren't in the most desirable areas. It was convenient to the base, which was my primary reason for being here. Staff was very accommodating and available.

This home was a great, clean place to stay. It was minutes away from the Naval base. It was a quiet neighborhood with plenty of rooms and beds, and two game rooms: one in the garage and one in the basement. The kitchen was full of amenities, and they also had spices to help out with home-cooked meals. We used the washer/dryer daily, which was convenient, so I didn't have to return home to do our laundry. There was an outside pit we used. We enjoyed the mildly cool weather with a woods-like feeling. We used the gas grill, which was great because my sailor wanted home-cooked food. Overall, everything was excellent. Great experience, and the host was quick to respond to any questions I had. I give it five stars!!
