It's close to Long beach (mile away), family-friendly activities such as the blue berry farm (a few blocks away), and exciting nightlife. Enjoy local wineries, breweries, and casinos. You’ll love my place because it's very relaxing and will reunite you with nature. My place is good for couples, groups, solo adventurers, and families (with kids). T here are 3 bedrooms, each bed can sleep 2 , additional 2 guests could sleep on the futons in the living room or couches if desired. There is also XL foldable cot that should be found in one of the closets. Mosquitos and ticks could get pretty annoying , please bring repellent. There is a gazebo. Extra tables and chairs for the outdoor use as well as charcoal grill are inside the garage. Light up a bonfire in a designated fire ring only, bring your own wood. Make sure fire is not left unsupervised and is put down before going to bed or leaving property. Feel free to use our cookware and dishes, please put dirty dishes in the dishwasher before leaving and turn it on. Beach. Must to do activity! The nearest beach is Long Beach - it's about 20-25 mins walk but if you chose to drive they have no public parking, so chose Washington Park beach instead, it's short 3-5 mins drive via Rd 12 (to the left) , entrance road is across from Blue Chip Casino. If you just came from the beach and have lots of sand on your body -please rinse it off using water hose outside the house before showering. It is OK to take towels from the house to the beach, make sure that sand is shaken off before taking them back inside. Garage - while away we store our stuff in the garage and prefer for our guests not to use it, there is plenty of parking space outside. Garage key should be in a box with the house key. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Books - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: only outside the house ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95710000/95702900/95702842/fff8506e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious home for travelers.
