Vacation rentals with beach access in Chicago

Amy is an excellent host! She was so proactive about reaching out ahead of time and checking in on us. The unit was extremely clean! Easiest check in I have had with Airbnb—clear/specific directions. Amy was also super accommodating with our checkout time—we had a late flight (7:45pm) and we were able to check out at 5pm instead of noon which allowed us to maximize the last day of our trip! SO close to Loyola beach and has easy access to public transit. There are just a few improvements that would make this a perfect Airbnb: 1) the mattress is uncomfortable (extremely firm), 2) there is a beautiful kitchen but it is not well stocked with the basics (strainer, cooking utensils, pots, etc)—we made do by getting a little creative! Not a problem if you plan on eating out the whole time. 3) A few end tables would be nice for setting a glass of water/coffee etc, 4) needs a few more towels for being so close to the beach! Nonetheless, I would love to stay again and highly recommend!!

We stayed at Ariel and Gabby's place several times and we always had a great experience! Their place is very welcoming and comfortable. The neighborhood is beautiful and peaceful, and the hosts are very nice and helpful. We hope to be back soon.

Great place and location! Thank you for letting us stay in your home!

Such a stylish and cozy spot in the heart of Andersonville! The beds were incredibly comfortable and the space had so much charm. Just steps away from great shops, restaurants, and everything else you would need near Clark street. Would definitely stay again!

We had a truly wonderful stay at Mike and Lora’s place. The apartment is spacious, spotless, and very well-equipped. The beds are extremely comfortable, the linens were luxurious, the kitchen was a real treat to use, and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly throughout our stay. The location is amazing - right in the heart of the neighborhood, just steps away from great cafes and restaurants. It’s a super walkable area, which made it easy and enjoyable to explore everything on foot. Mike and Lora were responsive, thoughtful, and kind throughout our stay. Communication was smooth and easy, and we felt very well taken care of. Highly recommended - we’d love to come back someday!

I had a wonderful stay at this lovely Airbnb! The decor was so thoughtful and definitely matched the bicycle studio vibes. The space was really cozy and welcoming. I especially appreciated the small details that showed how much care went into setting up the home. The host also left a kind handwritten note, which was such a warm and personal touch. It made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. It was great being back in my old neighborhood for a visit and this space was in the perfect location. Highly recommend staying here!

Nice cozy play to stay, outside of the busy Chicago streets! Has good restaurants around that are walkable to.

A spacious and comfortable unit in a residential neighborhood close to popular businesses and entertainment in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago. Super convenient to get everywhere I was heading to. Hosts have thought of everything you might need, including ear plugs for sleep, and bicycles with locks and helmets available to borrow. Hosts were helpful and responsive and the welcome binder had great information without having too much. I had a perfect stay and would stay again.

Great home and location. Safe neighborhood, walkable to restaurants, shopping, beach. Home was clutter free, clean and well maintained. Beds were comfortable and we had plenty of supplies for duration of stay (fresh towels, blankets, paper products, soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc.) Rooftop deck with nice view. Host was very responsive with any questions and communicated well. House was perfect size for our group of 6. We appreciate Rasheed making our stay perfect! Will stay here again in the future.

Caryl was extremely helpful with a check in process and she introduced us the property as well as surrounding local attractions. We felt the place was warm and very spacious for our group and we had a pleasant stay.

We would definitely use this location again when in town with family. Specious and only a short uber ride from everything we needed.

Beautiful home layout and very spacious! Location was a quick drive to the city, which was convenient. Host was also very kind and attentive. Thank you Ms. Lilly for our stay!

We had the best stay in Old Town! The Airbnb was wonderful and spacious for our family.

This is a beautiful home in a great neighborhood. We were able to walk to a concert at Ravinia Festival, and it was so quick and easy. Also a short walk to restaurants and a short drive to downtown Highland Park. Best part was the lovely decor - a great mix of furniture and original artwork. Would definitely stay again!

Words can’t describe how beautiful and clean the property and neighborhood is! The house is very spacious and modern. The basement is new, has a big room and bathroom with shower. The masters bedroom has a living room and GORGEOUS bathroom! The host provided cleaning supplies and even personal bathroom supplies for men and woman. The host was very nice and friendly 🥰 We had an incident with our previous AIRBNB and we had to rent this one last minute- The host responded at 1am letting us checked in at 1am. If you plan on staying here, please take care of it lol It’s such a lovely house! 100% Recommend!

This was a fantastic find! My whole party loved the place. It was clean and wonderfully located in a peaceful neighborhood close enough to transport to walk but far enough from the noise and bustle of downtown. Shawn was very responsive to any questions I had and was super kind and friendly! I absolutely would stay here again!!

Our stay in Chicago wouldn’t have been what it was without this Airbnb. The at home feel and energy made the stay more than comfortable. We absolutely loved the neighborhood it was safe and quiet. The apartment was beautiful and tidy. The experience felt very personal with fresh baked cookies upon arrival, and a well equipped kitchen with things like eggs and butter being provided along with non alcoholic beverages. If I had to recommend an Airbnb in Chicago it would 100% be this one every time!

It was a very cozy apartment with a nice set up. Easy access to university of Chicago and the lakefront trail. We really enjoyed our stay!

The condo is in a quiet and attractive neighborhood and the hosts answered my few questions promptly. The place was very clean and although the bedrooms were small, it was nice that each of us (nana and two teens) could have their own space.

Chip and Lito's place is a dream! Spacious, clean, quiet, and convenient to restaurants, the "L", and the beach. Apartment is very well appointed, yet not cluttered. The shower is awesome! It was very nice to have a full kitchen, with coffee makers and dishwasher. I definitely plan to stay here the next time I visit Chicago!

Kyriako is a great host, and responded quickly to my messages. She gave very detailed instructions via video about how to check in and find the parking spot. This is a very nice rental in a lovely neighborhood only a few blocks from the beach! The building is quiet and secure. There are delicious restaurants within walking distance and the free parking spot in back was a real plus! I would definitely use this rental again in the future 😊

Planned a weekend trip with our daughters and their partners to Chicago. Loved this location being outside of the city but very conveniently located to public transit. The house itself was beautiful and comfortable, with plenty of room for 6 adults. A perk was the driveway parking space for our car. Would definitely recommend to others and stay again when visiting Chicago!

WWWWOOOWWW!! This host team was EXCEPTIONAL! I’ve stayed in plenty of AirBnBs, and I’ve NEVER encountered a host that was so EXTREMELY accommodating, responsive, and kind! Other hosts should take a page out of their book! The only thing I would change, and it’s not a bad thing (just a matter of preference); I would have some type of blinds or drapes over the living room windows. This will allow for privacy when you’re sitting in the living/dining room areas at night with the lights on inside. Hands down, we would without a doubt book with this team again! Thank you Wendy, Matt, and your co-hosts for helping to make our time in Chicago wonderful!

We were absolutely blown away by how nice Danny’s place in Lincoln Park was. It was perfect for our first family trip to Chicago. The house was big, well decorated, comfy and private. The surroundings are peaceful and quiet and just a quick ride into the city. We used all transportation to and from with ease. Because we spent most our time walking the city, coming home to this Airbnb was so nice! I’d definitely stay again. Thanks for your hospitality Danny!
