The Beach Park Retreat

Freshly renovated and built for group trips. This second-floor apartment sleeps 6 with room to spread out inside — and a backyard with a fireplace waiting for you outside. Minutes from Naval Station Great Lakes, Illinois Beach State Park, and Six Flags Great America, it's the easy home base for graduation weekends, beach days, and family getaways in Lake County.

The space
The whole apartment is yours. Two bedrooms each with a queen bed, plus a sofa bed and floor mattress in the living room for extra guests. The kitchen is the real deal — gas stove, oven, blender, and quality cookware — stocked for full home-cooked meals, not just microwave dinners. Fast WiFi and a dedicated workspace if you're working remotely, and a TV for downtime.
