We stayed at this home while visiting for my grandson’s Navy graduation, and it was absolutely perfect for our trip. The house was spacious, very clean, and had plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. The hot tub was amazing and a wonderful way to relax after busy days.The kitchen was especially impressive—fully stocked with plenty of dishes, pots, and pans. This may sound corny, but the refrigerator was fantastic! The gas stove and generous counter space made cooking for our group easy and enjoyable.Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish. We highly recommend staying here and would gladly book again

We stayed here for our son’s Boot Camp graduation. So happy we did. Having the option to cook, soak in the hot tub or play a game of Air hockey was just what my Sailor needed and wanted. We had such an amazing stay. There was nothing we needed, the house has it all. The hosts were incredibly responsive.

We stayed at this home when we came to visit my Navy son. We had 4 adults, 4 children and a dog. This home was perfect for us! The description was very accurate. The backyard is fenced in. It was perfect for a dog and gave privacy while using the hot tub. The driveway was convenient and could accommodate a couple vehicles.The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. The host was quick to respond to me each time I sent a message. I would definitely recommend this home to other Navy families . It was close to Great Lakes Naval Base.

Great stay overall! The property was clean, updated, and exactly as described. Management was very responsive and easy to work with.A few small improvements could elevate the experience: blackout blinds for street lights, guest-controlled thermostat (within a set range), luggage racks in downstairs bedrooms, and higher-quality soaps and larger bath towels for the price point. A simple checkout guide at the property would also be helpful.With these minor upgrades, this could easily be a super host property.
