Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Des Plaines

Beautiful apartment in Chicago’s Gold Coast area - lots to do, easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and Oak Street Beach (and a view of the beach from the dining room). Well appointed building with a rooftop pool, gym and lounge. Quiet neighbors on the floor.

I absolutely loved my stay here! The location is simply perfect, and the views from the windows are unbeatable. It’s right in the heart of the city, so you can walk anywhere you need. It was also very easy to find and check in. I would definitely stay here again.

We were very pleased with Cyndi’s apartment during our trip to Chicago. The location is great and very near a variety of public transport options. We were quite comfortable and Cyndi was responsive. The view of the library and lake is spectacular! I would note that you can hear the trains running at night, typical sounds of the city and nothing some ear plugs won’t fix for any light sleepers.

We stayed with my family for 3 days n loved the place it's ambience, cleanliness, very well equipped with all the necessities.....this place definitely feels like home and the hosts are very kind and quick with there response. Wherever in future I am coming to chicago shall book this place.

This is a fantastic stay in Chicago! You’re within a short walk of restaurants, bars boutiques, etc. There’s a small grocery store right across the street that you can also order food at (breakfast sandwiches, etc). Great for grabbing a few essentials. The area is trendy, clean, and felt very safe. We walked downtown each day but you can also jump on the L very close by. Thomas gave very clear instructions for how to navigate the building and got back to me within minutes if I had a question. The place itself was clean and comfortable. We’re a family of four and we didn’t feel cramped. We would definitely book again!

Really lovely spot! Perfect for the solo work traveler. Super clean, all the amenities needed for a long trip, and a comfy space to unwind. Love the views of the skyline and the gym was private and clean. Hosts were extremely responsive and detailed. Great stay!

Sentral worked great for us going to a graduation for a long weekend. Unit is exactly as described, modern, and clean. Kitchen utensils are reasonable while shelves and refrig are empty save for some coffee so if going to cook/eat be sure to bring everything such as butter, spices, etc. - a Trader Joes is 3 blocks away. Price is not cheap but is very convenient and easy so on balance okay for us. Front desk is very helpful and cheerful.

Truly a five star experience. The nicest furnished Airbnb we have stayed in and we have over 30 rentals for comparison. The only thing that keeps it from being the nicest overall is we have stayed at places that had spectacular views and this was mostly rooftops. Service at the Walton was top notch.

Great location to attend a Cubs game! Nice place, nice backyard to relax outside. Comfortable furniture. Fun part of Chicago for food and shopping

Great, clean stay! Walkable to the lake and coffee—can’t ask for more (:

We were very happy with the Apartment, it was clean and perfect size for 4 people. Ana was super helpful and responded immediately, we loved talking to her 😄 For me due to Images, and wrong adress on the public profile, there has been some confusion about the location of the Apartment. All in all: The views are not stunning, but the location is perfect for sightseeing (and price was great location wise)! 😉

Milan runs a professional Airbnb service and promptly responded to all our queries. We stayed at Apartment No. 605 which, was clean and had all the required amenities for a comfortable stay.

Will’s flat was exactly what my son and I needed on our trip to Chicago. It completely met our expectations and felt like home. My son was impressed with the comfort of the Murphy bed. The master bedroom was palatial and well-appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed, though we only used it for breakfast each day. As we were there primarily to take in a couple of baseball games we couldn’t have been happier with the location- Wrigley Field was only a few minutes away and we were close to the red line which took us to where the White Sox play. Will was very helpful with instructions and quick to respond to our questions. Absolutely would recommend this place without hesitation.

Wendy and Matt's place was comfortable and homey. The location was great, the apartment comfortable, and we had essential amenities. The building is mid-century modern and designed by famed architect Harry Weese that incorporates thoughtful references to Chicago architectural history throughout while still remaining visually cohesive. One minor issue is the stove, which is electric and somewhat underpowered. It's good enough for minor work like breakfast or heating leftovers but you may struggle producing more elaborate meals. It was a very minor quibble but worth noting for those culinarians wanting to prepare their own meals. The oven is decent but there is only one. Overall, my stay was excellent and I recommend Wendy and Matt's place wholeheartedly. They are excellent hosts as well.

This home was beautifully decorated, the beds were super comfortable, from the mattresses to the linens. We loved how clean and clearly cared for everything was, and Mark and Marcelo were responsive and helpful anytime we had a question. We needed a place that felt like home while visiting Chicago for my son's graduation, and this was perfect for the three of us. An added bonus was that there is a designated parking spot on the premises.

This place was a total hit for our Chicago trip to see Kendrick Lamar! The infrared sauna was a hit, and the area was super chill with plenty of parking. The decor was awesome too - it was full of geeky stuff that we both loved. My partner and I were convinced the decorator could be our friend. The bookshelf downstairs had some really cool books that we didn’t even know existed. We’ll definitely check this place out again when we come back.

This has been our absolute favorite place to stay in this area. Lori’s home is walkable to all the downtown libertyville restaurants. We had so much fun walking as a family to all the local spots, coffee shops and playgrounds included. Lori’s home is super cute and very comfortable. The master bedroom is a great size and nice having the laundry room on the top floor by the bedrooms. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking. I can’t express enough what a wonderful stay we had.

Great place in a great location. Would definitely book again!

Stephanie was a wonderful host, home was squeaky clean. She was incredibly responsive and attentive. Photos matched the description of the house and we would stay here again in the future :)

Came to visit family in Chicago from Texas and this was the perfect spot for the kids to play. They really enjoyed the air hockey table and the kitchen was a great size for cooking. Plenty of towels and the outdoors were great.

Hugo was a great host. The house was just like the listing, ideal for a weekend with friends. We were five couples with children, an ideal family atmosphere. It has games and equipment to enjoy the lake and garden, such as a small pool, life jackets, sport balls... It was a great weekend thanks to the space and the house, highly recommended!

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at Connor and Julie’s place. They provided a royal experience at their home. No stones were left unturned. We were able to visit the city and return back home for rest and relaxation. I highly recommend this property. It’s worth every dime. I am looking forward to returning to Chicago and staying at this property again.

We had a great time staying at Mark's place. We had everything we needed, close to all the things you need, easy walk to brown line and red lines to get Downtown. The space was comfortable and well decorated, with a beautiful back courtyard to hang out in. Plus if you enjoy phones, this is your kind of place.😜

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Josh’s place in Andersonville. It was perfect for our large gathering with the expansive and well decorated house and a backyard large enough for family lawn games. Great location for the midsummer festival in Andersonville. Very clean and comfortable beds.
