The Beachcomber was perfect for our family (6 adults, 26-77). Proximity to lake, NMU and town made everything easy. We were attending Grandon’s hockey game at NMU and also able to celebrate his birthday with his roommates by cooking them a home cooked meal. Everything needed was there and home was very clean. Loved decor.

Great location, great property!!!

Close walk to “down town” and steps to Lake Superior, could not have picked a more perfect location for our group. There were only 3 of us but house for sure can accommodate more if needed. Property owner was very on top of everything and checked in to ensure our stay was flawless. 5+ stars, we all would stay again if we find ourselves in Marquette again!

Another Fantastic Stay

This is our second time to stay at The Urban Beachcomber and it was an absolute delight again! Clean with an attention to detail, this light and airy home is exactly what we needed to celebrate and relax. The morning sunsets, easy walks to downtown and a relaxing evening talking with family makes this place perfect. If there were more than five stars, you’d have them!

Amazing property for a group

We were lucky this property was available to book for our last minute trip to Marquette. It made our vacation to Marquette very enjoyable and comfortable. We all had room to spread out.Whole house was very clean and decorated with charming art of the city. Bright, sunny, central location.Kitchen was fully stocked and had what we needed to cook meals. Bathrooms were nice and clean. Bedrooms comfortable. We did not use the sauna, but perhaps next time we are there. There were many thoughtful amenities in the cupboards around the house. We will book again next time we visit Marquette. I wish all vacation rentals were this clean and wonderful.

Urban Beachcomber was a fantastic place to stay and Matt was an excellent host. Perfectly located. Easy access to the bike trail. We went all over to town on our bikes. Up to Presque Isle, over to Harvey and all over town. A one-mile walk into town every night for dinner at our favorite Mqt eateries. Thank you Matt!! We will certainly be back.

Perfect location.

Stayed in town for long weekend celebrating my daughter bridal shower at Landmark. Was close to everything I miss about living in Marquette. Town, trails, beach, etc. Matt was a wonderful host, house was well stocked with all things needed for perfect vacay. Three bedrooms all on separate floors allowing for privacy and decorated with local memorabilia. Sauna was a hit. Would definitely stay again.

Gorgeous property!

I just wish the weather had been better so we could have sat on the deck looking at Lake Superior. The house is beautiful. We were celebrating my daughter’s graduation and had a large group up. The dining table was large for family meals and plenty of space to play cards. The sauna really helped get over the chill of the rain, and yes, sleet in May; gotta love Marquette. I would absolutely rent this property again!

Perfect location for Graduation weekend stay

The Urban Beachcomber was a fantastic place for our family members to stay for a NMU graduation. The house is well appointed and had everything we needed. The view of Lake Superior was beautiful, particularly the gorgeous sunrise we witnessed. Matt, the house owner, communicated clearly and consistently throughout the booking and during our stay. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Marquette!

Wonderful Stay Marquette

We have stayed at this property several times and highly recommend it. It is very conveniently located, close to downtown and the beach at McCarty Cove. Beautiful spot for sunrises over the lake. The kitchen has everything you need for preparing meals. We enjoy movie nights and foosball in the entertainment in area. The host is very helpful and communicative. This is an excellent place to stay in Marquette.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Jones

Host profile image
I am originally from Negaunee MI. but have lived in Marquette since the 90's. I absolutely love the U.P. and all of its outdoor experiences. The thing I enjoy the most about hosting is being able to share my wonderful property with everyone who visits!

Why they chose this property

Marquette's East Side is loaded with historic homes (and newer builds) but the proximity to downtown and the lake are what makes this location so great!

What makes this property unique

Our property stands out amongst the rest for a number of reasons. Location, design, and a lot of traveler influence have gone into the design and setup of this vacation rental. Not to mention the attention to cleanliness I take while turning over this property is second to none.

Truth be told Im a one guy operation. From answering any booking questions to cleaning and maintenance, its all me, and I take a lot of pride in ensuring my guests a 5 star stay while here.
