Family-friendly holiday rentals in Waukegan

Christine’s place was the perfect get-away for a family vacation close to home. The lake was beautiful and the place was spotless and inviting. It felt like you walked in to your own home. It’s close to places to eat and there is even a community space just a few houses down that is lively if the weather is nice. I’m hoping to come back again!

Such a great home for our small staff retreat! Will definitely check availability for this home for future needs! Joe and Shelly are great hosts!!

Great stay! Thanks for making it so easy. Big space for lots of family to be together and have space.

Amanda is the best host I’ve ever had, she is so friendly and responsive. Her kitchen was fully equipped, she gave us the option of having firewood delivered, the place is absolutely beautiful, you walk down some stairs to get to the beach. A group of 8 moms went there for a weekend getaway and it was exactly what we needed. Thank you!

i loved this airbnb, great spot if you just want to explore chicago. max was super quick with responses and helpful with any questions i had.

This house looks like it does in the photos. It is an easy walk to downtown in a safe area. Had a great stay overall!

We had a great stay at Delphine's place in Uptown. The location is excellent, being on a tree-lined street, but very close to the Red Line, the Broadway bus, Andersonville, Little Asia, grocery stores and more. As we had a little kid, being right on top of the little park downstairs was also very convenient. On the flipside, it can get noisy in the summer with lots of kids/playgroups coming there, but as parents, we didn't mind. Delphine herself was very quick to respond via Whatsapp to all our queries before and during our stay. One thing to keep in mind at her place is that you are very much living in their home. If you are looking for an apartment that is only intended for guests, this is not it. While it is plenty big as a 2BR/2BA, it is full of stuff, furniture, photos, books, toys, etc. They have made a very nice office space in the main living area, but the drawback is that the living area is now very cramped. The main bedroom has 2 queen size beds in it, which is a bit weird, so we just ended up using one bed to keep our clothes on. The other bedroom with bunk beds is excellent for kids and more spacious. So overall, a great place and a great stay, and especially good if you are a couple with 1 or 2 kids. Just a bit cramped and crowded with stuff. We stayed for 2 weeks.

We had a wonderful stay at Daniel’s place! The house is beautiful and the view is stunning. It was really clean and felt very welcoming. We traveled with grandparents and kids and everyone found something to enjoy. The pool table was a huge hit, as was the badminton set and the multiple outdoor seating areas. This one is highly recommended!

I’ve been to Chicago many times but never to Wrigley Field. This place was amazing, just what we needed! It was faster to walk (20 minute walk) to and from the concert at Wrigley Field than to drive and park, taxi or Lyft. I communicated with the host about safety of walking at night. No problem. I had sent a message and he called me immediately. And also gave me recommendations on food and shopping that were spot on! We met locals and had a blast! The neighborhood is quiet and easy to park (but you do need to be able to parallel park and no one in the area drives big vehicles,.. only a few minute drive to downtown (Navy Pier area or take the L train for fast and cheap transportation without the hassle of parking). We were busy the entire time in the Chicago area so didn’t spend much time at the Airbnb but it was quiet, we slept great and just what we needed!

Beautiful location, close to transit and very walkable to great lunch and coffee spots and a local grocery store. I especially appreciated all the details like gorgeous plants in every room and every utensil you might need for you r stay. Hosts were welcoming and provided excellent local recommendations.

Very comfy apartment in a great neighborhood. We were in town for a baseball game and it’s a terrific place for that, just about a 20-minute walk to Wrigley Field. The only thing to be concerned about is the stairs: there are two flights to get into the apartment and they’re fairly steep and small, so if you have mobility issues that would be a concern. I don’t and had no problem. Karen is a lovely host and was very helpful when I was getting into the place and unloading my stuff from my car. There are tons of restaurants and coffee shops in the area, so it’s a great place to explore and hang out.

Loved, loved, loved Liz and Martin's place. Beautiful, clean, comfortable, and within walking distance to the blue line. We were able to park our car and not have to get back in it for our entire stay. Great neighborhood with great restaurants and bars nearby. We would definitely stay with them again!

Jamie was a really amazing host! She was friendly, helpful, caring and went over and beyond to make sure me and my kids were comfortable and had everything we need. Gave us lots of great recommendations to restaurants and as a first timer in Chicago she made sure I was aware of the traffic and other helpful information! My kids LOVE her she was vey nice, patient and gentle with them. Kid friendly house/area VERY quiet. The beds are the BEST after a long day of traveling very comfortable. The place was beautiful very nice decor and nicely maintained. We will definitely be staying here on our next visit to Chicago.

We loved this cute, Craftman-style apartment. It was so homey and well arranged, nicely furnished, and beautifully decorated that we seriously wanted to move in! The owners were very thoughtful about providing what visitors will need. (They even provided a spare umbrella!) Everything was exactly as described, and communication was friendly and prompt. The only issue we had was trying to find on-street parking. We had to park several blocks away and, sadly, our car was stolen from that parking spot. Otherwise, it was a lovely neighborhood and a convenient location. Despite the parking problems, I would stay there again.

Great host. Would definitely stay again. Good location, convenient subway within a few minutes walking. 12 min to Downtown.

great stay, super clean apartment, great communication on keith’s end would definitely stay again. thank you for accommodating me!

Run, don't walk, to book this location for your Chicago stay. The view of the Chicago skyline is perfect, even better than if you stayed in Downtown itself, sometimes all you see is the wall of another building and no view. The instructions how to get there are very clear, if you're a little intimidated like I was about going to a big city never fear. The instructions are clear, easy to follow, and transit is close by to take you wherever you want to go. Overall great trip, thank you!

Clean, roomy place. Short drive to stores or walk/shuttle to resort pool/restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. The only disappointment was the golf course was closed.

What a lovely and hospitable place! We loved our time there. The level of comfort was unmatched. We would happily return. Truly a wonderful experience!

Beautiful and eclectic home. It was perfect for our group of girls visiting from all over the U.S to attend our HS Reunion. Plenty of lovely spaces to gather or a private, quiet nook to read or rest. The pool was wonderful. Beds were super comfortable. Kitchen was large enough and well stocked to prepare meals. Andy was very responsive with any issues or questions. Highly recommend!

The rooms were very nice and seemed to have been well kept and updated. All questions were answered promptly and fully. Would recommend to anyone needing a room there.

A great stay right near a Main Street. Tons of options for going out but still quiet in your space. Warning. You will smell the BBQ restaurant and you will salivating.

Place was better than I expected--looked more updated than the photos displayed. It was very roomy with a large bathroom and a full-size kitchen. With good weather, you can simply walk up the hill to the Grand Geneva. Will definitely plan to book again!

We had a great time! The location is perfect and we loved the pool!
