Vacation 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!!

Love your place. The owners are available and very helpful. The neighborhood is very nice—great location, etc. Our only request would be a handrail to go up the steps into the house. As seniors, we really need handrails. However, we love staying in your beautiful unit and will definitely stay there again when we come back to Chicago. Thanks again for a great stay.

Md was a great host! The place is nice and comfortable. Stores are close by. The neighbourhood is peaceful. Great experience!

My wife, son and daughter stayed at Tim's place when son ran the Chicago half-marathon. Tim was one of the best AirBNB hosts ever. He left my family a personal welcome note and let them in early from their morning flight. The space was immaculate, very charming, and super comfortable. Chicago neighborhoods can be dicey. This felt totally safe day and night. I was unable to come last minute due to work. My wife wants us to return together for a romantic weekend. A great experience in every way. Thank you!

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.

Dorothy was very helpful and accommodating. She was communicating with us about construction around her place and challenges we might face getting there. Our travel plans changed several times and she was flexible and remained helpful through all of the changes. Another positive for Dorothy was the extras at the place. Bagels, yogurt, coffee, and toiletries were all available for us. Loved the peaceful location close to amenities. A good hub to explore Chicago from. Thank you!

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!

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.

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.

The Acorn was a great landing place for my 30+ day stay while house hunting. Heidi kept in communication as needed, but not overly so - just right! Beautiful set up on the Fox River - peaceful and wonderful area to explore.

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!

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!

Will’s flat was exactly what my son and I needed on our trip to Chicago. It completely met our expectations and felt like home. My son was impressed with the comfort of the Murphy bed. The master bedroom was palatial and well-appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed, though we only used it for breakfast each day. As we were there primarily to take in a couple of baseball games we couldn’t have been happier with the location- Wrigley Field was only a few minutes away and we were close to the red line which took us to where the White Sox play. Will was very helpful with instructions and quick to respond to our questions. Absolutely would recommend this place without hesitation.

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!

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 had a great stay- perfect location and very walkable! It was great being so close to the zoo and many cafes and restaurants. Safe area and less congested than being directly downtown. Danny was responsive and friendly. Parking was easy with the passes Danny provided- finding a spot can be a little tricky but the neighborhood is nice, so walking wasn’t an issue! We’ll definitely be back!

Nice place in a great neighborhood. Really appreciated the opportunity to leave the car parked and walk and train everywhere. The house was clean and tidy and Ari provided a list of neighborhood dining recommendations. We had six people in our party and there was just enough space that we didn't end up sick of each other. Overall, the trip was wonderful.
