Holiday rentals with beach access in Evanston

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 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 were in town to see a concert at Wrigley Field, and the location was fantastic. We walked to the concert, which was really helpful to not need to deal with getting an uber afterward. It was also a much shorter walk to tons of bars and restaurants, which we loved. The neighborhood was also beautiful and felt very safe. The apartment was perfect for a short stay and had the basics we needed.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Liz’s. The apartment is beautiful with lots of space. The beds were comfortable and the linens and towels were very nice quality. The apartment is in a great neighborhood with a lot of good coffee and food in walking distance.

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.

Dorothy was very welcoming and communicative, and the bagels and snacks were an extra nice touch. The rental is as described, if not better, and provided a quiet and comfortable place to stay. The location is well centered between Andersonville and the Bryn Mayr red line station with easy access to all of the locations in Edgewater. There is currently some road construction that blocks off close by roads, however, the streets are open to local traffic and it actually makes walking easier.

Loved this place! It’s in a vibrant community with lots of businesses and places to eat within walking distance. The apartment was very nice, clean, and looked just like the pictures. Check in was easy. Had a great time in Chicago!

David's place was great - exactly as pictured and described. David provided great instructions ahead of time on how to get in and access the parking spot and was very responsive to questions. As someone who was only in town for a few nights, I greatly appreciated how stocked the kitchen was with the basics - no need to buy things that would get barely used (eg, keurig cups). David was also great about letting us know we could stay a bit longer on check out day based on the time of the cleaners arrival - and he offered to let us stay that extra hour without paying more - incredibly kind! I definitely recommend!

We had a great stay at Tsegie’s beautiful home. The house was not only very clean and well-maintained, but also tastefully decorated and comfortable. It’s located in a quiet, safe residential neighborhood with friendly neighbors — perfect for those who have a car, as there’s plenty of free street parking available. Tsegie is a professional and responsive host — very kind and easy to communicate with. We especially appreciated the spacious basement, which was great for indoor activities without disturbing anyone. Our toddler loved the front lawn — it became his favorite play area during the stay. If you're visiting Chicago with a car and prefer a peaceful, suburban atmosphere, this is a wonderful option. I was traveling with a young child and felt very safe and comfortable here. We’d love to stay in this area again on our next trip.

This is great, quiet little neighborhood; it doesn’t feel like you’re in a big city. It was nice to go to a couple Cubs games, hang out in the city, enjoy the amazing food, and then head back to a quiet space. Specifically, Junni was very responsive and friendly. We had a couple little snafus that were all me but Junni was there to help and that’s unusual in my experience. I highly recommend and will do it again!

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!

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!!

We loved our stay at Efren’s place. We are a couple traveling with our 17-year-old son and 90-year-old Grandma, and everyone was happy with our rental. It was clean and well-equipped. Our son was happy to have his own room with a futon (better than sleeping in the living room). The garage parking was a nice touch.

Had a great 2 night stay. Everything was clean and exactly as pictures and described. Very cute decor/theme. The layout was great for us, family with older teens. Lots of space and TVs. Great restaurants and some shopping within walking distance. Really good value. Walk to the beach and trails. We were in town for a nearby event and really enjoyed the area this place was in. Host was very responsive and answered questions beforehand. We had no issues with our stay at all and would absolutely recommend.

The Woodland house is truly incredible, with every detail thoughtfully designed for comfort, from the cozy bedrooms and soft linens to the inviting beds. The kitchen nook with a couch overlooking the ravine offers stunning views of nature, making it a picturesque spot to relax. The home exudes warmth and is perfect for unwinding in the spacious sunken living room or one of the multiple outdoor seating areas. Debra was an excellent host, providing all the amenities you could need. This home is a 10+, and you won't want to leave!

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!

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 😊

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!

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!

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!
