Vacation rentals with beach access in Illinois

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.

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!

I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Chicago. The host communicated very well and was very welcoming! This place was very clean spacious, and the beds were very comfortable! Thank you for Hosting us!

Man this place was awesome! It was so relaxing and peaceful. Everything was the way it was described. Definitely coming back!

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!

We felt very comfortable at Daniela’s place. The flat is spacious and clean. We had no trouble walking to the train and parking in the dedicated spot. The decor is appealing & stylish. I recommend if in town visiting plus Evanston is the best!

We loved this cute, Craftman-style apartment. It was so homey and well arranged, nicely furnished, and beautifully decorated that we seriously wanted to move in! The owners were very thoughtful about providing what visitors will need. (They even provided a spare umbrella!) Everything was exactly as described, and communication was friendly and prompt. The only issue we had was trying to find on-street parking. We had to park several blocks away and, sadly, our car was stolen from that parking spot. Otherwise, it was a lovely neighborhood and a convenient location. Despite the parking problems, I would stay there again.

Location is fantastic. Walking distance to beach, red line, buses, great food, shopping, etc. The apartment has a hip vibe and is located in a beautiful neighborhood that we really enjoyed walking through on our way in/out. Free dedicated parking is a huge bonus. Host was very responsive and you can tell they really care about the guest experience. Little things like packages of earplugs by the beds show how thoughtful they are. The neighborhood was pretty quiet most nights but it was nice to have the earplugs available.

Our family loved the country air and great fishing! We had some rain during our visit and got to enjoy the large covered deck until it passed. We hope to return again soon!

The home was absolutely as described. Lovely, cozy decor. Everything felt clean. The important things were updated (bathroom, carpets, etc), but all the charming character was left in tact. I would definitely recommend this place to others. Be aware the town is VERY small. Two small restaurants with limited hours. (The one we went to - Hometown Cafe - was great though.) While the house is near the lake, it wasn't a fishable area for us without a boat. Thankfully Eldon Hazlet park was only 15 mins away, so we got our fishing/ nature fix over there. The home was great to come back and relax in. We spent most of Sunday inside due to rain and it was still a very pleasant weekend!

Spent 5 nights at Bikash's AirBNB... May 26 - 31, 2025. Wife, dog and I were in the area for two Middle School Graduation ceremonies for two grandchildren. Overall, very positive experience. Very clean with well-equiped kitchen. Rain Shower in 2nd Bathroom a bonus. Would definitely come back. Bikash very helpful.

We had a great time celebrating our daughters graduation from college! It was nice to have a space large enough for our entire family together, to relax and enjoy the outdoor outdoors! George was a very responsive host and we thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit a couple of nights just sitting around and enjoying our time together!

me and my family had an amazing time felt super comfortable and cozy. pet friendly everything I needed was at hand and host was kind answered everything I needed instantly. Susan was clean and worth every penny.

This is not out first stay at Lori's home and not the last. Other than some not-so-good Chicago weather, our stay was great. Looking forward to the next one.

Larry was a very accommodating and responsive host! The place was amazing and exactly as described. Plenty of room, amenities, and beautiful views. He made sure we had plenty of supplies and all the stuff for Smores!

The Captain’s Quarters is a fun place to stay. We went for the outdoor activity but had lots of rain. No worries! The location is great and there was plenty to do inside - games, fireplace, television, and cards. The amenities are fabulous. Multiple grills (Weber, Blackstone), excellent galley kitchen, and appliances. Alex even prepared fishing gear for our stay. The home is full of light and quiet. The spiral staircase is a fun way to navigate floors.

Everything was great! The location was perfect—close to most of the attractions we visited during our stay. We really appreciated how well everything was set up. The honey was a lovely touch, and we especially enjoyed the peaceful, quiet atmosphere away from the city. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

I can't recommend this Airbnb enough! From the moment I walked in, I felt right at home. The place was not only extremely clean, but also beautifully decorated with a very welcoming atmosphere. The space is also very spacious, which was a huge plus. The host was incredible, super kind and helpful. There’s so many restaurant and fun bars in the area so there was always something to do on our down time. Thanks again Will for sharing your amazing space!

Easy check in and close to LUC which is what we needed. Clean and comfortable. Bonus that it included parking.

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 😊

This is a WONDERFUL one bedroom apartment that is both private and spacious! The owner/host has the space fabulously decorated with an eclectic mix of original contemporary artwork and antiques. Nothing is generic about the space and it has been outfitted for guests with loving care. The host, Kaye, clearly puts much trust in her guests with her charming decor and furnishings. The amount of space, the privacy and the home-y feel make it a place we'd love to return to.

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!

Had an excellent time with my family at Ari’s place. It was very infant friendly and just as advertised. It’s easily walkable to the best places in Andersonville. We would stay here again!
