Lovely stay

We enjoyed our week-long stay at The Shoreline. Very clean and located in a convenient location near Lake Michigan in Manitowoc. Quiet neighborhood. Having a garage was a big plus to keep our bikes. Would stay here again if we are ever back in the area.

Great property in a great location

This property was a very comfortable and cozy. It was clean and the fireplace was a plus. Janet and Greg made us feel welcome with a goody basket and helpful notes. The location was very convenient and we could enjoy the lakefront. If we return to Manitowoc we would certainly want to stay at Shoreline.

Would recommend it should be rated a ten star.

This is a must stay. The place is beautiful and you can walk to a very nice quiet beach on Lake Michigan. The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. They had a very nice welcome basket with a bottle of wine and a bunch of snack goodies. Would definitely recommend this place and we will stay their again.

Great Getaway

This getaway was a beautiful two bedroom duplex just off the lake. The interior was nicely decorated with everything that we could ask for. Due to covid, we ended up eating all of our meals in, but because of the trails along the lake, did not feel isolated. We were able to do the activities we wanted in Manitowoc and enjoyed a great vacation.

Since we have stayed at the property in the past, it felt like we were moving home. Greg and Janet have thought of everything. They are wonderful hosts. The property is immaculately clean. What we enjoy the most is the spacious rooms, the natural light, the location, and access to a garage.

Wonderful Stay!

The Shoreline and Manitowoc was a fantastic place to visit. We enjoyed staying at this well-stocked spacious home with its many amenities, which included lots of natural light, a gas fireplace and a garage for our vehicle. We appreciated the welcome basket and information about the surrounding area and local attractions. The location is wonderful as it is not only steps away from Lake Michigan, but located within easy access to downtown Manitowoc. Janet and Greg were great hosts and communication was easy. We highly recommend staying at The Shoreline.

Beautiful home and close to absolutely everything!

Beautiful home and close to absolutely everything! The house was large and immaculately kept. The fireplace was a wonderful addition this time of year and very relaxing after being outside all day. Would highly recommend going to Point Beach! And also taking a leisurely walk along the scenic Mariners Trail which is just steps from the house, to West of the lake Gardens. Spectacular formal gardens with Lake Michigan as the backdrop to the gorgeous colors of the flowers. Manitowoc feels like a coastal town on the ocean. I would say I am very very picky when it comes to a clean VRBO. This was exceptional! Would definitely stay here again. Greg and Janet were in touch via email throughout our vacation to make sure we didn’t need anything. Very much appreciated.

AMAZING!

The Owners and this House were simply AMAZING! My daughter and I went here for a little Spring Break getaway. Everything was provided in the home and then some. Linens were provided and they were above and beyond anything I expected. Having stayed at other homes before this home is probably the BEST vacation home I have ever stayed at. It's super close to Lake Michigan and the views are simply breathtaking. Also, we were only about 40 mins from Green Bay so we finally did the Packers Hall of Fame Tour. Lambeau Field is my happy place! The downtown area of Manitowoc is very nice with cute places to shop and eat or have coffee. I just can't say enough good things about the home. It was impeccably clean and cozy and the owners just made you feel right at home. They are very nice and kind people. We love this house so much we will likely come back in the summer!

About the host

Hosted by Greg and Janet Gottsacker

Host profile image
Our last name is Gottsacker and in german it loosely translates to "God's Acre".
So we are naturally drawn to land and homes! With that being said, we have used VRBO quite often with 4 grown children living in 4 different locations throughout the world and we felt compelled to offer a property of our own. We also are in the Real Estate trade of listing & selling homes as well as Real Estate development and general contracting. We have a passion about hospitality and hope that your stay at "The Shoreline" will reflect that passion.

Why they chose this property

We purchased a parcel of land in Manitowoc, home of the former "Fricke" brick yard. After the brick yard business exited, the land became an overgrown piece of property with long grasses, & unkept trees and shrubs leading down to the Little Manitowoc River. We saw the potential in this land jewel situated above the river and giving us glorious lake views. So we developed a large portion of the land on Hawthorne Ct. into a condominium development and the lot on Cleveland Ave. is our investment property with a long term renter on one side and short term renters at The Shoreline, 134 Cleveland Ave.

What makes this property unique

134 Cleveland Ave. aka The Shoreline has such a great location in Manitowoc. Steps away from Lake Michigan and walking distance to downtown with shops & restaurants. Manitowoc sees the beauty of our lakeshore and it seems that new businesses are popping up every year to take advantage of this great destination!
