The house was very well-maintained, extremely clean and well set up for our family. This is the best vacation rental I’ve stayed in where the kitchen was properly stocked with enough pots and pans to make a proper meal! There’s a coffee maker, dishwasher, toaster, gas, stove, microwave, plenty of dishes and utensils. The beds were comfortable, plenty of towels as well. It’s served us well for our four night stay. I would highly recommend staying here!

I would recommend this house to anyone who has a larger family going to Bootcamp Graduation. Has lots of bed one room had 2 sets of bunk beds. The house was clean. Easy to get to the base for graduation. Not a lot around, but shopping and restaurants are really not far away. There is a bakery across the street was really good. Owner was very responsive. I would Stay there again if we needed to visit the base again. I feel fairly priced.

Home suited our needs perfectly. Only suggestion would be to have some basic toiletries in the bathrooms, such as shampoo or bars of soap. The bedroom with the bunkbeds needs one or two small nightstands, so you can put a phone or bottle of water near the bed instead of on the floor. Ended up using a cardboard box as my table. But would definitely come back.

We had a great stay at this house. Good communication with host. The location is on a corner and is easy to access. There is a great park a 10-15 min walk away (it's really cool! And there's even a splash pad).The house was great for a large family. Lots of spaces to congregate in. An unusually small table for the number of people the house hosts though. We had to stand around to eat. Perhaps a folding table and chairs could solve that?The only issue is that the linen closet was stocked with damp towels. We put them in the dryer and took care of the issue ourselves. We wouldn't have minded if the cleaners left them in the dryer to finish drying. But actually, the dryer took several cycles to dry anything.

If your loved one is graduating from Great Lakes, this place is perfect. Great location, beautiful accommodations. The beds were so comfortable. It had everything you could need. Our sailor was super grateful for a "home" cooked meal. So much better than staying in a hotel.

My grandson graduated basic training. He was able to spend the entire holiday weekend. At the time we had everyone together we never felt crowded. Everyone slept well. Plenty of kitchen wear. Games to keep the young ones busy. I’d stay again. Thanks Graffiti

Bootcamp Graduation

If you are looking for a place to stay for your loved one that is Graduating Bootcamp, this location was PERFECT! Have you seen the notes from the Sarge yet and his shortcut advise... This location is set up perfectly for the shortcuts. You will be to base in no time, which means more time with your Sailor. The set up of this house is also PERFECT. You can have many guests, all will have a bed to sleep in or maybe a very comfy couch. The set up allows for privacy if you want it or has plenty of space to for all to enjoy each others company. There are some local restaurants in the area within walking distance or other restaurants within a 15-20 minute drive depending on what you are looking for. I HIGHLY recommend TUTES bakery, just check it out! The owner is very informative about expectations and was responsive to messages. The arcade was a HUGE hit with our family. This was an AMAZING home like experience for our family and our SAILOR.

More than expected!

Seriously when I came across this property while making plans for my son's Navy Bootcamp graduation I was sure it was going to be a mid-tier property for the price of the stay. I was absolutely wrong!The pictures don't encapsulate how wonderful of a home it was.The house is within easy driving distance to the Naval base and other places of interest. It's close to convenient stores and gas stations as well.It's located in a nice neighborhood and feels like a well loved house.There are TVs in every room, they are nice size and quality. The Internet is fast. There's plenty of seating and everything you need to cook from home.Plenty of beds to sleep in, 3 showers, great lighting, beautiful windows. It's a home I would live in comfortably with my own family.Communication with the owner was very simple, he answered almost immediately with the few questions I had.Access and instructions were all clear and accurate. Would absolutely stay again, and probably will.

Exceeded expectations!

We had a wonderful experience for our son's navy bootcamp graduation! The home was clean, cozy and spacious, bright and beautiful. We loved the popcorn machine, open design, and fun tri-levelish layout. We don't have basements in AZ so the kids loved that feature. We arrived early and was able to check in immediately! We left some graduation decorations in a kitchen drawer for future families. Extremely satisfied, thank you very much!!
