We traveled from California for our son’s RTC bootcamp graduation. It was 3 degrees outside and the home was cozy and warm when we arrived. The home is nice and close to base which made it fantastic for picking up tickets, and our Sailor. The host was very kind and quick to respond if we had a question about anything. Great fenced in parking for our rental car in the alley. Would highly recommend.

Navy Graduation

Thank you very much! This was the perfect location for my son‘s navy graduation it accommodated everyone and I was able to do all my cooking for a huge friend and family meal. The rooms were very spacious and the living area was perfect for hosting the extra friends and family That came over to celebrate the navy graduation Thanksgiving and Christmas all wrapped up into one. The location was only four minutes for pick up and drop off, which was absolutely perfect. There was no time wasted on the road not getting to see my son. I want to personally thank the host for accommodating our needs. It was very much appreciated.!!!

Roof over your head

The home was exactly as described—a basic roof over our heads with no real luxury. It was relatively clean, though nothing special. We had just enough towels for the duration of our stay, and the beds weren’t particularly comfortable. The biggest advantage was its location, just down the street from the Navy Base where my son was graduating. Aside from that, there wasn’t much else to highlight, though the space itself was quite large.Check-in was easy, and the management company was accommodating when I spoke with them. Overall, it was a decent deal for the price and convenience. However, the neighborhood felt a bit sketchy. That said, it served its purpose for what we needed.

Convenient Location and Roomy House

Lots of room and home was clean. Beds were comfortable. Sam who was our contact was responsive about troubles using the coded door knob. We had an issue with the fridge/freezer not working at arrival, but we had some tools with us and were able to remedy it on our own after we notified Sam. It is close to the base but noise isn't a big issue other some traffic noise to front from upstairs bedroom - it didn't impede our sleep.

It worked

If you’re looking for a place that’s clean and no communication from the owners then this is the place for you. We would not have booked if we would have seen outside pictures that showed the boarded up house next door. The drive way is fully fenced in and difficult to navigate. Neighborhood is a bit questionable. The house is on a super busy street which was noisy. We did not receive check in details until we reached out to VRBO to obtain the hosts contact information an hour before our check in time and never received any check out instructions. The house was decently clean. It was very close to the Naval base which made it convenient for pick up and drop off of our graduate so it worked for our basic needs.

Nice place, sketchy neighborhood

I agree with all of the reviews that the location to Recruit Training Command is second to none. We picked up and dropped off my son every day no problem. It was extremely convenient. What people should be aware of is the neighborhood is a bit rough. The place is on a fairly major road, so road noise and street lighting is a constant presence. The place is definitely "humble" in the beds are not the most comfortable, and odd things like the hot and cold water are swapped in a couple faucets. You will not sneak up on anyone in this place as the floorboards creak everywhere! Having said that, I had zero issues. I ran into one of the neighbors who was very friendly. I would stay there again.

Excellent location (less than 2 miles from GL Naval Station) for families attending Seaman Recruit boot camp graduation. 4 bdrms & 2 1/2 baths were perfect for several family members in town for graduation. Especially when our new Sailor was granted overnight liberty. Large family room area and separate large dining area were perfect for relaxing and when we ordered dinner in vs trying to go out.

The owner of the property was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Our family has stayed at two houses from the owner and each house is beautiful and well taken care of. Two graduations from Navy boot camp and two pleasant stays! I would recommend this house or any other of the owners properties.

Great rental for RTC graduation

We stayed here for 6 nights during our son’s naval RTC graduation. Very convenient if your sailor is staying in GL for A school and has liberty all weekend. So close to the base. Plenty of space for lots of family members. Older home but it is clean, communication with owner was good and they allowed us a late check out to spend as much time with our sailor.

Very large house. Great for families. Lots of room. Ideas for improvement- offer more dishes, silverware, etc. since large groups can stay there. Offer basic cleaning supplies so people can clean countertops after using. Offer extra hand towels and kitchen towels for cleaning. Have directions for tv use. Recommendations for places to eat/things to do.

Perfect for Navy graduation. Minutes from the base. Cozy home in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room and very clean. An older house that's been well taken care of. For me, it felt like visiting 'grandma's house'. Very homey and comfortable. The host is great too.

Great PIR weekend

We were in town for my sons Boot Camp graduation and the location was perfect. We’re were 8 minutes from the base and the location of the family meet & greet the night before. The neighborhood was quiet and we were able to enjoy a relaxing day with our new Sailor. If he ever ends up in Great Lakes again, I would definitely book this house again when visiting! The owners were great to communicate with for anything. Thank you for a perfect spot for our awesome weekend

Naval Weekend

The house is old and in need of updates. We arrived at night, and the house was difficult to locate because it did not have a numbered address on the house. We had to use the process of elimination. The owners reached out once, only asking, "Have you checked into your VRBO?" I asked them several questions without a reply. It is close to the Naval Base, but if I could do it again, I would rent in Libertyville or Forest Lakes.

It was a roof over your head. The only compliment is that the beds were good. Entry into the house was difficult. The only TV that worked was in the living room. The laundry room was locked, so a 5 day stay with no accommodations to laundry.

DIRTY AND DAMAGED

These people have no idea what clean means! They’re rude and despicable! Don’t stay at this property unless you want sour garbage cans, old condiments in the fridge, hair everywhere, dirty dishes, pots and pans, spiders, and bed bugs! BEWARE OF THE CASH GRAB! The owner doesn’t care about sanitation or comfort of his guest. Yet, he will tell you how amoral and unethical you are for reporting him to Vrbo for misrepresenting the condition of the property.

Five stars goes to the host, Ellie! The location was good since we were there for our sons bootcamp graduation. We were literally 5min from base. Made it great the morning of graduation and picking him up during his liberty call. The house was old and it showed. The beds were all different so some people may have a better sleep than others. But all are good enough for a temporary stay. PLENTY of space in the living room to hang out which is what we really wanted. Foosball table also. SOMETHING TO NOTE: three rooms are on the second floor and only one on the main. No washer and dryer to use. The kitchen is not stocked with a lot of stuff. But we were able to make things like lasagna. But I did tell the host so she could make sure the right dishes were in the house. Since it looked like this house was mainly used for graduation parents we left behind a few things for the next renter. Just small stuff like paper plates and aluminum foil. But if everyone did this then we would keep helping out our fellow families. There was some coffee and stuff left before us as well. Long story short great host, okay house, great distance from base, sketchy looking area but where isn't in Chicago? At least coming from a small town this big city scared me. LOLSafe travels everyone! Thank you Ellie!!
