Beachfront vacation rentals in Illinois River

Always a delight to stay with Cal and Dan. They are outstanding hosts and have created a home of graceful accommodations and comfort. Always look forward to my stays. P.S. The best coffee ever!

We came back to Vandalia for my father’s funeral and this was the perfect place for our family. Peaceful, cozy and great accommodations. We know this will be a repeat for us if we’re ever back in the area.

Great spot. Beach was a little muddy but that's life. Collin was extremely responsive. Had an awesome time. Also had some great fishing!

We were in town for a few days for some high school baseball games and to visit ISU and Bradley. Even though we were gone most of the day, it was SO nice coming back to Annabelle's in the evenings to unwind and relax. It's a beautiful cottage on the water that was clean, roomy, and full of amenities. Annabelle was friendly and accommodating even though nothing went wrong and everything in the cottage was better than described. The area was quiet and the view was INCREDIBLE. Even saw a bald and golden eagle outside in the early morning hours (and found binoculars too).

We enjoyed the hot tub and the view, especially for the sunrises. The decor was amazing and the house had everything we needed!

Awesome place, great location to relax and private to enjoy the scenery. Jackie was a great host.

Our stay was perfect! Alisa was an accommodating host and easy to communicate with. Her place is exactly what is pictured and is as described. My kids loved her DVD collection and we had a great time playing games — we were indoors mostly since the weather wasn’t cooperating for fishing. We felt completely comfortable!

This is our second stay at Grant's place and it was everything we were hoping for. The cabin itself is delightful, but the outdoor areas are amazing! Grant and his wife could not be better hosts. I highly recommend this property!

The home exceeded our expectations. Tons of space. Very clean and organized. It's a great retreat in a serene, picturesque setting. I would 100% recommend it to anybody else traveling in the area.

Our stay was a girl’s weekend- mother and daughters. The home was perfect for relaxing and visiting. Peaceful and quiet with a lovely view. We especially enjoyed watching the barges and birds. The beds were very comfortable, too. If we’re in the area again, we’d definitely choose this home.

Very Beautiful Home with a fantastic View. A peaceful and tranquil spot that my partner and I enjoyed. Host was responsive and really helpful. Would definitely recommend for any who is looking for quiete get away. Will a book Again in The Future.👍🏽
