The house is as pictured, quaint. I might call it "grandma's beach house". The neighborhood is quiet. The living room still has it's original features from when the home was built for Wrigley's bookkeeper in 1929. The Kitchen and bathrooms have been updated. We loved the large, eat in kitchen. There were plenty (too many) of pots and pans, utensils, bakeware. There were many kitchen appliances, toaster, coffee maker, hand mixer, but no air fryer or instant pot. No crock pot either. The problem with all of the above was the disorganization. Mixer was not with the beaters. Some appliances did not have lids (or I just did not find them). The fridge worked well. The dishwasher was fine. The washer and dryer worked well too and it was nice to have them. The stove needed to be adjusted; the flames were so high it was making the pot bottoms black. The 2 back beds were comfortable. The biggest problem we encountered was the double bed in the bedroom across from the kitchen The 4 poster is a 3 poster only, broken off maybe years ago? The headboard is not attached to the frame and bangs every time you roll over. The whole thing is just falling apart. It sure could use a new queen bed/headboard/frame in there. Beware the lack of air conditioning on hot summer days. We found if we just left all the windows open, it was better. It is comfortable and homey and I would stay there again. It worked well for our 3 generation family of 8. Word to the owner: I would be happy to go organize the kitchen and bring a crock pot over for a free night's stay!
