Phenomenal Chicago Condo Lake view
Our Chicago condo was decorated for US – NOT some cheap, tacky rental property… Well, we finally did it.

Interior view of a room
We put our Chicago condo on VRBO and Home Away as a vacation rental. We bought it new about 4.5 years ago, and it has been fantastic for our family. We spent almost every weekend there for the first two years, but as the kids have gotten older, it has become harder to get there as much as we used to. We still intend to block it off for specific weekends and events, but this is a great way to offset part of the mortgage, cleaning fees, POA dues, and real estate taxes.

Master bathroom
We listed it on Monday and have been blown away by the response. We got over twenty inquiries and six bookings in the first 48 hours. In fact, someone just booked online starting TOMORROW for three nights, so I’m running up tomorrow morning to clean out our dressers, closets, and wine rack and to make sure that everything is perfect for our first ever rental.

If you or someone you know is planning a trip to Chicago and needs an exceptional place to stay, please keep us in mind. We furnished and decorated the place for the US, so it is all first-class – no cheap stuff that you find in “typical rentals.” Our condo is anything BUT typical. The location is perfect – just north of the Chicago River, two blocks from Navy Pier, and three blocks from Michigan Ave. The views are spectacular during the day AND at night. It is a corner unit on the 35th floor with perfect lake views, river views, and city views.

The listing is at: https://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/usa/illinois/chicago/central-loop/new-eastside if you’d like to take a look. I’ll have better photography on the site within the next couple of weeks, but check out the photos, and you’ll get an idea of the level of quality of our place. It’s bittersweet to share it with the “world”, but I really hate to see it sitting empty 90% of the time.

Please let me know if you have any questions. J
