The villa was perfect for our needs! Plenty of space, a stellar kitchen, and easy beach access for most of us (the grandparents had trouble accessing the beach due to the incline). Also the best shower I've ever experienced. Only drawbacks were a couple unexpected fees.

Clean, spacious, and clearly well maintained, this home was perfect for our group getaway. The great room made it easy for everyone to gather, while the thoughtful layout also provided comfortable spaces for smaller conversations and quiet downtime. The beachfront location and beautiful views were standouts, and being just steps from the sand was a noted bonus, even in November. Communication and check‑in were smooth, and management was friendly, responsive, and accommodating throughout our stay. We would gladly book again and recommend this property to friends and family.

Love the home!!

House was awesome!! Communication was great from beginning to end of our stay!! Loved that we could walk to the beach from the home! The only negative was that the patio over looked a public access parking lot but we loved the house & would rent it again !!

Sales Meeting

Beachfront Villa

Great place! We had 24 family members with plenty of room to spread out, cook and eat, have family games and activities. Location was great for walking on the beach and through the adjoining State Park. Kitchen was large with a second kitchen for additional cooking. Everything was in good working order and clean throughout. Everyone said they would be up for coming back here again.

Fun family get away

Enjoyed having 10 bedrooms for everyone to spread out in. Easy walk to (and on) the beach. Yet we all could gather inside and outside too. We made a few trips into Chicago (~1 hour transit if driving or via the very convenient train (South Shore Line). [No cicadas present in summer of 2024.]

Amazing Location

Check in was super easy. The property manager stayed in constant communication leading into the event. We rented the entire location (Villa Santorini + Addition) and it was amazing. There were no surprises from viewing it online to being in person. It was clean and well kept and the amenities / upgrades were impressive. Thanks for a very easy booking process and I have already recommended the venue to other peers.

Our family's stay was great. Everyone had a wonderful time. Our only problem was finding bedding for the sofa bed and air mattress in The Addition. After much looking some was located upstairs. It would be helpful to have been told where to find it or have it stored close to where it is needed. Also, more hooks in the smaller baths would be useful. My husband and I stayed in the bedroom on the first floor of The Addition and both the bedroom and bath had no where to put anything. All in all the kitchen, decks etc. were well equipped and the stay was great.

Fantastic home for a large group!

We rented this house for a corporate strategy retreat, and the layout of the house and ample bedrooms/bathrooms was perfect for giving every colleague privacy. Kitchen size and amenities was great for large meal preparation. Hot tub, awesome views, built-in whole home audio, tons of TVs, coffee amenities - all of it was fantastic. My only gripe is communication with Miller Beach Vacation Rentals. It is hard to get a response from them, from the requesting/confirmation of an early check-in, to getting a receipt for my charges. I've asked multiple times (via e-mail, via text, via their portal, and via their website) and I still haven't heard a thing.

Beautiful home & View

This home is spacious and beautiful with incredible views. Wonderful location as well! Only thing I would say needs improvement is the main kitchen needs some attention. The bottom freezer drawer does not open easily. The stove top only had two working burners and was missing the oven knob. Telling a guest they can use the oven in the other kitchen, not a good look for such an upscale property. It was obvious this was not a new issue so it should have been fixed. The only other thing people may want to know is the internet is not super great at this location but I know that is not the owner’s fault.

The house was generously built to accommodate our large family of 30. We were able to spread out and not feel on top of each other. Having two sinks and two dishwashers in the main kitchen was very helpful for the scale of people we were feeding. The outdoor seating was spacious and an additional bonus! Spending evenings on the deck with a fire to gather around was idyllic. We also had groups playing cards and working on puzzles. Being so close to the beach was perfect for a quick jaunt to play in the water or the sand, or to watch the sunset, which we did a couple of times. The only downside was that driving to pick up groceries or last minute supplies was a time consuming trek and endeavor, as there is not much available close by. The management team was fairly responsive when we had an issue with the freezer portion of the refrigerator, but it was a little challenging to speak directly with them. I would definitely recommend the house as a place to host a large group. We had a great family reunion and the views all week were amazing. Local attractions were limited and not very enticing.

Girls Weekend

Outside looked a little rough and not really taken care of like it showed in the listing. The toilet was clogged once we arrived. We contacted the owner and they came and said it was fixed. The toilet worked for few hours and was clogged again. Also there was a passcode on the thermostat and we were not able to lower the temp. After multiple attempts of contacting the owner we still never received the code. Overall it wasn’t so bad expect few things mentioned above. The owner was very responsive to our texts usually within minutes.

Lisa: Thank you for choosing The Addition at Villa Santorini for your all-girl’s celebration weekend! As part of our annual routine maintenance, we plan to repaint the large white retaining wall blocks around the parking pad this Fall. Despite using high-quality concrete paint, it still peels and fades and needs to be touched up. The upstairs bathroom toilet was not clogged when you arrived. I personally checked it during our guest pre-arrival quality control inspection. This toilet has two flush buttons on top: larger one for solids and smaller one for liquids. Someone in your group may have pressed the wrong button. As such, we will now post a QR code there to avoid confusion. As for the thermostats, The Addition has two dual-zone (one controls the upstairs and one controls the downstairs) smart thermostats which do not require a passcode to use. When you arrived, you only turned on the downstairs AC, that is why the upstairs wasn’t on. Please read the instructions on the posted placards (or scan the QR code on the Fridge for our online comprehensive guidebook) for proper usage—simply turn it to control the temperature. Check out all of our amazing year-round Miller Beach Vacation Rentals and thank you again!

College Team Spring Break

Our traveling team size was 30 and we struggled giving everyone a proper sleeping arrangement. I would definitely recommend a team no bigger than 25. Unless you put 3 to a king bed, which we did not. They do include air mattresses as counting twin beds as well, which again, isn't up to par for some college sport programs for a week stay. During our trip, the main washer did not work and was not fixed during our time there. Also, if you're traveling in a bus or vans with your team, parking is rough but doable. The house overall is a gorgeous house and I highly recommend it! I just don't think it's suited for a group larger than 25, unless you're family and can share beds better. Communication wasn't too bad, they tried to help out where they could. Appreciate your help with the process.

Communication would be my biggest complaint. Called phone number given in the afternoon of the day before check-in with a couple of questions. There was no one to answer the phone and no one ever called back about my questions. This was the second year that we could not get into the house. Have no idea what the problem was but both times we were able to get help. The house was not as clean as we would have liked.Our family did have a great time. It is a big house with lots of room for a gathering. There was plenty room for the 20 of us and lots to do for the 3 nights we were there.
