Sometimes, we get a strangely specific itch: we want to see what it's like to go all-out and really splurge on a getaway. Some folks scratch that itch by going on cruises, or by whisking away to a distant resort paradise far, far away. Would you believe us if we told you that you don't actually need to leave Indiana for a decadent escape on par with those? In fact, there are numerous luxurious rentals eligible around the Hoosier state for you to choose as the vacation spot of your dreams. This one is one of our very favorites, and it's perfect for either a romantic getaway for two or a group experience.
Villa Santorini is a stunning nautically-themed Greek villa overlooking Indiana Dunes National Park.
It's a lakeside mini-paradise, with incredible views of the Chicago skyline across the water. Watch the sun rise and watch it set again during an entire day on the lake.
The rental includes private beach access, so no worries about being bothered or inconvenienced by other beach-goers.
The villa sits atop a 60-foot-tall private dune; it's a unique and one-of-a-kind stay that you just can't find anywhere else.
The place is so much bigger than the exterior photos make it look: it's over 6,000 square feet in size with six bedrooms and four bathrooms.
This three-story wonderland has more to do than you could ever dream of. The media room, for example, features a leather sectional and 75-inch television. It's hooked up with the works: a Dolby soundbar, Blu-ray player, and - get this - a bar.
Cooking enthusiasts, rejoice: the kitchen in this villa is just to die for.
It's spacious and professional, with two of most things: two ovens, dishwashers, sinks, wine refrigerators... what else could anyone possibly ask for?
The "Round Room" is gigantic and available for private events and small parties as well as simply being a part of the rental for the casual guest.
It's surrounded by large windows, offering views of the lake and north terrace. Large parties are not allowed, though, so make sure to check with the host, Hilary, to see just how many friends you can bring by.
Kill an evening or three with wine and cocktails with friends or with that special person in your life.
The atmosphere surrounding the villa and the outside patios is super-chill and just perfect for an escape. Don't forget to lounge in the hot tub, because of course this fabulous place has one!
Take your pick of any of the six bedrooms; each of them has its own hook that makes it irresistible. You might just have to stay a night for each room in the place!
These few photos don't even begin to include everything, so you'll definitely want to check out the official Airbnb listing. There, you'll find a complete list of amenities, tons more photos, and an even better idea of just how relaxing a stay here on Miller Beach can be.
