House was awesome!! Communication was great from beginning to end of our stay!! Loved that we could walk to the beach from the home! The only negative was that the patio over looked a public access parking lot but we loved the house & would rent it again !!

Fun family get away

Enjoyed having 10 bedrooms for everyone to spread out in. Easy walk to (and on) the beach. Yet we all could gather inside and outside too. We made a few trips into Chicago (~1 hour transit if driving or via the very convenient train (South Shore Line). [No cicadas present in summer of 2024.]

Beachfront Villa

Great place! We had 24 family members with plenty of room to spread out, cook and eat, have family games and activities. Location was great for walking on the beach and through the adjoining State Park. Kitchen was large with a second kitchen for additional cooking. Everything was in good working order and clean throughout. Everyone said they would be up for coming back here again.

Amazing Location

Check in was super easy. The property manager stayed in constant communication leading into the event. We rented the entire location (Villa Santorini + Addition) and it was amazing. There were no surprises from viewing it online to being in person. It was clean and well kept and the amenities / upgrades were impressive. Thanks for a very easy booking process and I have already recommended the venue to other peers.

Fantastic home for a large group!

We rented this house for a corporate strategy retreat, and the layout of the house and ample bedrooms/bathrooms was perfect for giving every colleague privacy. Kitchen size and amenities was great for large meal preparation. Hot tub, awesome views, built-in whole home audio, tons of TVs, coffee amenities - all of it was fantastic. My only gripe is communication with Miller Beach Vacation Rentals. It is hard to get a response from them, from the requesting/confirmation of an early check-in, to getting a receipt for my charges. I've asked multiple times (via e-mail, via text, via their portal, and via their website) and I still haven't heard a thing.

Beautiful home & View

This home is spacious and beautiful with incredible views. Wonderful location as well! Only thing I would say needs improvement is the main kitchen needs some attention. The bottom freezer drawer does not open easily. The stove top only had two working burners and was missing the oven knob. Telling a guest they can use the oven in the other kitchen, not a good look for such an upscale property. It was obvious this was not a new issue so it should have been fixed. The only other thing people may want to know is the internet is not super great at this location but I know that is not the owner’s fault.

Be warned before staying here

The property owners keep billing me for fees which were not included in the amount I paid through VRBO. I paid two amounts through VRBO, received an email form Miller Properties stating they had received my final payment and showed a zero balance, then on the day we arrived they started billing me for an additional $180 in fees. This is completely unethical. The master bedroom is up a shaky metal spiral staircase - anyone with any knee problems would not be able to make it up there. The house was clean, except there was fresh urine on one of the toilets - that was not pleasant.

Girls Weekend

Outside looked a little rough and not really taken care of like it showed in the listing. The toilet was clogged once we arrived. We contacted the owner and they came and said it was fixed. The toilet worked for few hours and was clogged again. Also there was a passcode on the thermostat and we were not able to lower the temp. After multiple attempts of contacting the owner we still never received the code. Overall it wasn’t so bad expect few things mentioned above. The owner was very responsive to our texts usually within minutes.

Getaway

This place is so nice. Perfect for a small family. We enjoyed our min walk to the beach and the view. The hot tub was a bonus. The beach was quiet and not many people at all. The dogs had a blast there too. Very comfortable and we can’t wait to come back

Buyer Beware

We left earlier than our appointed time because we were awoken by the neighbors hitting pots/ pans and screaming "time to get up" to her guests😑. For two nights we endured guests yelling, cursing, playing music all hours of the night, and an utter lack of respect for anyone in their immediate vicinity. I have never been more disgusted than I was with this stay. This was incredibly inexcusable for any family to have to settle for having paid the amount we did. My husband was scheduled to work an afternoon shift having slept only a few hours the night before. We even moved our room so it wasn't directly off the balcony, but there were guests having late night conversations in the parking lot. I will certainly forward my complaints to management because no family should endure what we did. This special getaway turned into a nightmare and all that could be offered was an apology and an assurance things would improve, they never did!

Excellent Time

The property was everything we expected and more. We had a wonderful, relaxing time. We enjoyed the beach the most, which sometimes made it hard to keep the sand swept up. We also liked the Depot Dog, the Ruben, and Flamingo Pizza.

Awesome house and beautiful location for our annual couples retreat!

My husband and I and 2 other couples get together every year to catch up and relax. We are spread out across the US and like to try a new place each time. We decided we wanted to be near Chicago this time and we are VERY pleased with our choice. We've been doing this now since 2010 and this place was the group favorite. What an amazing space, well decorated, and full of ALL creature comforts! It was a comfortable size and even though the upstairs bathroom is shared, we didn’t mind, since it can be easily locked, plus it’s so darn cool! The kitchen had just about everything needed, including a crock pot and blender! It was a very relaxing trip and Hilary and her staff really went the extra mile to ensure all the bases were covered. One night the internet went out and someone came over right away to fix it! Tanya met us on site and had a fire going already. Everything was really clean and easy to find and use. We downloaded the App which gave us good local recommendations. The views from the decks were gorgeous of lake Michigan and the surrounding parkland. Access to the beach was easy and down a short dune path. Since it’s the middle of winter, the wind off the lake was fierce, but we went on several hikes and coming back to a roaring fire was a real blessing. We even used the hot tub a couple of times despite the cold weather! There were so many other unique touches that we didn’t expect, firewood, ozone laundry, really cool cabinet and deck lights, heated bathroom floors, board games, and free coffee! WiFi was fast enough to all watch what we wanted on the TVs. Thank you very much Hilary for providing such an inviting and thoughtful space for our yearly get-together! Shelly Sanders

Amazing

I hightly recommend this rental house My family and I had a great experience we would definitely rent it again in the future. It had a great view steps from the lake. Something I would recomend to the owner is to add like a shopping package at additional cost off course After traveling for 11 hour you just want to rest thats when the shooping package cames handing having some groseries ready when you get there would be great its just my opinion But overall it was an amazing no complains Thank you to Hillary for everything Julita Cruz
