About this property

The Sandbar is tucked away near beautiful Marquette Park and a short walk to the beach. This rental is spacious and covers the entire main level of a mid-century brick bungalow. The thoughtful décor and artwork are the creation of a local designer/artist. The lower level has a second kitchen, a screened walk out family room, a large bedroom with 2 queen beds, and a full TIKI bar just add the cocktails. This rental is close to the best that Miller Beach has to offer. Chicago is a day trip at 27 miles or take the train!

Overall great experience

We loved the property! It was a little difficult with the setup having small kids but definitely plenty of places to sleep. Owner was very kind and helpful. Beach was super close and clean but lots of pot smell so would be worth it if that bothers you to drive to West beach inside the dunes national park. Super clean there and pretty as well. Little bit deeper of water. Both beaches had great concessions. Really enjoyed the walk back from the beach and saw a bunch of deer. Overall would recommend this place. :) *Also not a lot in the way of food around but found a yummy place called Paragon 15 mins away which was fantastic.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie

We purchased this home with my mother-in-law in 2016. She wanted to be closer to us and close to the beach. After several years she decided to move back to be near her siblings. We made some upgrades and transformed the hourse into a vacation rental. This allowed her to visit with friend and family and still pay the mortgage.

Why they chose this property

This property is close to the beach and has unique mid century charm.

What makes this property unique

The option for completely separate living spaces. 2 full kitchens. This is great if you want to travel with other couples, 2 families, or the bride and her maids.
