Waterfront vacation rentals in McHenry County

The apartment is spacious, bright, and looks right onto the Rock River. I would love to return in the summer and be able to enjoy the deck which overlooks the water. The location is convenient to many local attractions. It would be a good place for an extended stay with a well-equipped kitchen, washer and dryer. Nice modern kitchen and bathroom. Saul was a great host and replied quickly to messages.

Our stay was wonderful! The host was very friendly and communicated with us well!! The view of the lake from the house was absolutely stunning! We thoroughly enjoyed the outside seating and fire pit!! The house had everything we needed! It was as close to feeling like being at home as I think it could have felt! Such a beautiful home! We hope it’s available for our next trip to the area!!

No complaints all around great place

Loved our stay, so many beds and a lot of kitchen utensils available for use. Private area, the fire pit in front of the lake was a favorite!

We really enjoyed our weekend at the Chain O’ Lakes Beach Penthouse and would definitely recommend it! The lake view from the large upper deck was stunning—sunsets over the water were a real highlight. The space was clean, matched the listing, and had everything we needed for cooking and relaxing. There was even plenty of propane for the grill and fire table, which made hanging out in the evening really enjoyable. Even though the unit is above a beach bar, it wasn’t a problem. The music added a fun energy without being disruptive, and the vibe downstairs actually made the place feel lively in a good way. The neighborhood itself was quiet and welcoming, and even the neighbors were friendly. We appreciated the little touches like board and card games, and communication with the host was smooth—quick responses and easy check-in made everything simple. This place is great if you're looking for a relaxing lakeside getaway with a social atmosphere nearby. We'd happily stay again!

Great stay would recommend!

Thank you so much for hosting us! After a long week, this was a peaceful writing retreat. The home is bright and sunny. The kitchen is well equipped. The bathroom is spacious with all the items visitors would need. We enjoyed our stay!

We had the BEST time. The stay was peaceful and relaxing and just what we needed. Beautiful home and Savanie was the perfect host. She was easy to communicate with and always friendly. Book this place, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks again and we look forward to another stay soon!

This place is a gem. Nice and quiet, beautiful property and the inside is as advertised. I would book this place again. I enjoyed my stay and the boat was very responsive and helpful. There's many ammenties and it's just a wonderful location. Many major stores are just a few minutes away. I recommend this place to everyone, 10/10.

Place was absolutely beautiful and clean beds were so clean comfortable. Kitchen was supplied with many amenities that you would need it was a very nice place the only thing we ran out of toilet paper there was only one in each bathroom and we couldn’t find

Nothing short of amazing! Frank was an incredible host, very informative and friendly. Our family enjoyed everything about our stay and will stay again on or next trip to Illinois!

We fell in love with the river front. I left wanting to have more time down at the lounge chairs. Enjoyed having a campfire! It was close to both of my sisters in Crystal Lake! My sister wants to buy the cabin! lol Thank you for a wonderful vacation!!

We enjoyed our stay at Antonio's lovely home. It had all the comforts of home and more. I would most certainly recommend this home to anyone looking for peace and relaxation while on vacation.

This was a beautiful home! Everything was super clean and felt like home. The kitchen is fully stocked and they have clean linens and blankets in case you need them. They were so kind and even included a champagne bottle as a gift! Great place to stay, highly recommend! Vladyslav was extremely helpful, responsive, accommodating and kind.

This house was perfect for a large group - very comfortable with LOTS of beds, and 4 King beds!! We were able to host 14 ladies quite comfortably. The lake lawn was amazing. Private lakefront access with a large, beautiful lawn perfect for games or sitting around in Adirondack chairs. The house is definitely old, but that's part of it's charm. There was one sink that didn't drain that could be fixed, but most of the other bathrooms looked like they were recently updated, which is nice. Just note the water has an iron smell/taste so I recommend bringing your own water for drinking! Other than that, it was an absolutely amazing girls trip. Relaxing, beautiful, and comfortable.

Tricia's place was wonderful. It was a close 5 minute drive to William's Bay, where we spent most of our time. The home was perfect, quiet, and we'd love to stay here again!

Our family of five have a wonderful time here. We love Lake Como and enjoy being so close to town but also in a private and quiet setting. The house was exactly as described in pictures, beautiful, so nicely decorated but also clean and comfortable, walked down the lake every morning . We had everything we needed for cooking in the kitchen. Felt right at home. Our host was super friendly and quickly responsive in every question we had. We would love to go back again at Comatose!

Great place and great host! The location can’t be beat and the unit was exactly as described. Clean and comfortable. Would come back again!

Lively apartment, beautiful area, attentive host. Place was clean and spacious. We enjoyed our stay. Could hear the neighbors from upstairs. Didn’t bother me, but if you are not used to having neighbors it can be distracting.

Couldn’t have enjoyed this spot more! Already planning on going back soon because it was everything we wanted and more. Highly highly recommend, just don’t reserve it too often so we can go back! Haha

"5-star stay! Clean, convenient, and great value. Would book again!"

We loved our stay at this beautiful location. It was close by to everything we wanted to do and the condo was exactly what we were hoping for! Rachel gave great recommendations and was so responsive to our questions. We will definitely stay here again!

This place was absolutely perfect for a wedding in the area. It’s close to the action and the breakfast at Abbey Springs was delicious. Beds are comfy, couches are even comfier, and the screened porch allowed for peaceful vibes on an early fall weekend. Nancy and Fred’s accommodations were perfect and I can’t thank them enough!
