Newly renovated, peaceful, and welcoming home. Great location for family coming to see their loved one graduate from NAVY bootcamp.

Big shopping plazas less than 2 miles away with all the big name stores.. Peaceful neighborood close to the beach and down the street from a nice big park called Bowen park. Plenty of space in this Tri-level home for big families! Tv's in every room and living room space. Theatre with surround sound with bluetooth connection. Straight shoot to bnavy base for Navy recruit graduation. 15 mins from Six Flags Amusement Park. Can't be this location and the space. You and yours will love it!

The house was very well-maintained, extremely clean and well set up for our family. This is the best vacation rental I’ve stayed in where the kitchen was properly stocked with enough pots and pans to make a proper meal! There’s a coffee maker, dishwasher, toaster, gas, stove, microwave, plenty of dishes and utensils. The beds were comfortable, plenty of towels as well. It’s served us well for our four night stay. I would highly recommend staying here!

Navy Graduation

If your loved one is graduating from Great Lakes, this place is perfect. Great location, beautiful accommodations. The beds were so comfortable. It had everything you could need. Our sailor was super grateful for a "home" cooked meal. So much better than staying in a hotel.

I would recommend this house to anyone who has a larger family going to Bootcamp Graduation. Has lots of bed one room had 2 sets of bunk beds. The house was clean. Easy to get to the base for graduation. Not a lot around, but shopping and restaurants are really not far away. There is a bakery across the street was really good. Owner was very responsive. I would Stay there again if we needed to visit the base again. I feel fairly priced.

Beautiful home

The home was easy to find and the instrutions for the stay were very thorough. As soon as we walked in we were blown away by the home. It was a perfect place to stay that was a close drive to many local attrations. It is also close to base if you have a graduating sailor. We were very happy with our stay and if we make our way back to the area i would definitely book again!

We arrived 8-7-2024 to such a clean & perfect property for our family. Our sailor had plenty of room to chill out & relax. When my sailor found out he had an additional day of leave, it worked out for the host & adding a day was not a problem. I highly recommend this property.

My grandson graduated basic training. He was able to spend the entire holiday weekend. At the time we had everyone together we never felt crowded. Everyone slept well. Plenty of kitchen wear. Games to keep the young ones busy. I’d stay again. Thanks Graffiti

Amazing stay for Navy graduation!!!

The property was exactly as described. Very clean, very comfortable, and an EXCELLENT location for our sailor’s Navy boot camp graduation. The kitchen was very well set up for making our sailor his favorite meals. We bought groceries, obviously, but appreciated that there was coffee, tea, and hot cocoa already there. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend for Navy families. The host was great at communicating in a timely fashion & was helpful and friendly

Home suited our needs perfectly. Only suggestion would be to have some basic toiletries in the bathrooms, such as shampoo or bars of soap. The bedroom with the bunkbeds needs one or two small nightstands, so you can put a phone or bottle of water near the bed instead of on the floor. Ended up using a cardboard box as my table. But would definitely come back.
