Waterfront vacation rentals in Chicago Loop

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!!

I absolutely loved my stay at the wine down! The place was decorated beautifully and was equipped with everything I needed. James even went out of his way to give me a couple of courtesy calls during my stay just to make sure everything was going smoothly. I would definitely stay here again in the near future. Thank you for a great experience.

Perfect space for a girls weekend. Host prepared the apartment to our needs with special little extras set out for us to enjoy. Also the two full bathrooms were clean and well designed.

Great place to stay! Can get anywhere in the city, its right off the "L". Not far from Michigan Ave, either. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who is traveling to Chicago.

The apartment was extremely clean!!! I loved the attention to detail. Very quiet street for sleeping at night and easily walkable to beach, restaurants, and attractions.

Clean, comfortable, and beautifully appointed apt. Emily and Roya are helpful and communicative, and all the instructions and photos made things very easy. Would happily stay there again!

Great stay. The property is tucked away and is away from all the city noise. It was very clean and everyone was really impressed. Thank you Sally for a great stay.

We loved this stay!! It’s a beautiful apartment and is walking distance to a great coffee shop called charmers, as well as almost ON Jarvis beach! The hosts are very friendly and preach over communication and make sure that you have all of the information you need! They allowed us very early check-in had we needed it (I believe by 2pm!) and the apartment was spotless! Very comfortable bed and living area, plus an office if you’re visiting for work. This is a great part of Chicago, with most Ubers we took ending up around $20! There is ample street parking on Jarvis, especially with the beach entrance at the end of the street. We would recommend this space and these hosts to anyone and everyone visiting Chicago. They were so kind and organized and really made for a wonderful trip!

We booked this room for my sister who was visiting family with us. Having stayed here ourselves before over the holidays, we knew it was just the right thing for her. She was very comfortable and slept well.

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.

Great stay for me and my friends. Very spacious and beautiful outside space. Plenty of beds and top of the notch kitchen.

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!

Hugo is a great host. There was one small issue through no fault of his own but Hugo quickly took care of it. The house is huge and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was so much do we were never bored. Just sitting and relaxing on the deck was great the view is amazing. My friends want to book again for our getaways. It was so peaceful. The rooms are great and all spacious. It was 9 of us and we still had extra rooms left. The dining table was big enough for us to eat our meals there together and we loved that. Thank you Hugo we had a great time and took so many pictures.

Our stay with Paula was great! Very cozy and so close to the Aragon Ballroom. We walked to a lot of nearby places for food and drinks. Paula was very sweet and responsive for anything we needed!

This place was amazing... They layout was terrific. quiet neighborhood, safe, and had everything we needed. we were celebrating my birthday (pre) My friends 🧡 Even set up a Bday table for me down stairs and we had our in vip golden girlz(ladies) celebrations 🍾 😀 😄 ❤️

Stay went very smoothly and I would recommend for anyone seeing an event at Allstate arena(walking distance) or needing a place to stay flying thru O'Hare. Target and a wide variety of fast casual dining 1 min away. The listing mentioned a grill and that was unavailable, you may want to check with the host in advance if you are planning to use any amenities.

The Airbnb was clean, exactly as described, and in a great location. Check in was easy and we were able to get settled right away. William was very proactive in communicating instructions well before our arrival. Overall, we had a lovely time visiting Chicago and would recommend staying here!

everything was extremely nice, unfortunately the knob to change from shower to faucet was detached so we could not utilize the very large beautiful bathtub. The front porch light also needs to be replaced, we opted to leave the front door open to be able to see outside after dark. Other than that everything was extremely nice. Still worthy of a five-star review.

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!

If you're looking for a place in Chicago that is gorgeous to stay in with easy access to public transit, this is it! The hosts were super helpful with recommendations and quick to answer with any questions. I would definitely stay there again!

This was truly one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully prepared. The space was not only beautiful and impeccably clean, but it also had so many special touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. What made this stay exceptional, though, was the host. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about making my visit as perfect as possible. Every question I had was answered so promptly, and they offered wonderful local recommendations that made my trip even more memorable. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond with such sincerity, but that’s exactly what this host did. I left feeling not just like a guest, but like a friend. I am so grateful for this experience and would return in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommended to anyone considering this stay — you will be in the very best hands!

This place is near so many spots it was awesome! to go down and get food right below or just walking across the street and grabbing some food. the place was very well cleaned, had great spots just to sit and chill. beds very comfortable, rooms very spacious. water pressure can be very in and out sometimes but water was warm/hot and lasted a full shower.

Richard was a great host and very responsive! The air bnb looked exactly like the photos, very beautiful home.

Loved the look of the place and the decor. The wallpaper and artwork were so cool. The space has been updated nicely. I would definitely recommend this location to a friend staying near the city. Instructions to get in were clear and host communicated promptly. A great place to stay for the weekend!
