We enjoyed our time at the little cottage. The area was quiet, and just a short drive to Milwaukee. The location is perfect, a couple blocks from a nice (and not crowded) beach. The house has comfortable firm beds and the A/C works great.

We had a great family trip and stay. The Vrbo was just few minutes walk from the beach. Check in and out was fast and easy. The property was clean and had the amenities we needed. Our kids were wanting to stay longer they had so much fun. Thank you for an enjoyable place to rest our heads after having fun in the sun. We hope to be back next year!

Cute house with everything we needed!

The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The owner gave us suggestions for Wells Brother’s Pizza and it was amazing. Location is close to the zoo and beach so that was nice. Thank you for a great stay!

Racine Trip

The house was welcoming and perfect for our stay in Racine. We enjoyed the garden and yard. The weather was super so we also loved sitting out on the porch. The house was clean and we lacked nothing. The location was great, close to family living on the north side. Also close to the zoo and the beach. We took walks along the beach walkways. We hope to be back next summer !

Just what we needed!

This is a charming home in a pleasant neighborhood. Access was uncomplicated, everything was as advertised. Free on-street parking was easy to find right in front of the house. The home was clean and well supplied. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Communication with the host was excellent. I would seek out this property for our next visit.

Great Lake Getaway

We had a fantastic time staying here! Location was great for our beach/sailing escape. Clean, cozy, well appointed, exactly as described online. It was so nice to have a fenced yard for our dog (who loves swimming in Lake Michigan, and one of the reasons we frequently visit the area). The snacks and coffee were a nice touch and the bed was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

Everything we were looking for

This is a very nice well-maintained house. We really liked the fenced in yard especially. Everything about it was just right for us. We needed a place to stay for a few nights while we are in town visiting and it needed to be pet friendly. It was a win on all accounts.

Convenient location; comfortable house

Andrea was a great host; we had a few hiccups, but we worked through them together! So close to North and Zoo Beach that I could walk 4-5 miles each day! Kitchen had all the dinnerware and pots/pans necessary for cooking! Futon sofa was comfortable to watch TV each night! Would stay here again.

Would stay here again.

Adorable house. Very clean and organized. We didn't cook while we were here- try out Olde Madrid- but just about anything you need to make meals. Glad for the coffee maker- try Wilson's Coffee and Tea. Andrea was great responding to my questions. Our dog loved going from one bedroom to the next through the closet. Be careful with the banisters for the porch they are a little wobbly. There is a blue binder that has some information. The Wifi address needs to be updated and we couldn't figure out the TV--but we were visiting my 85 year old mother and didn't spend much time watching TV. We will definitely stay here again when we come up to visit Mom. And besides the restaurants mentioned above- for breakfast-- The Maple Table and Meli Cafe. One of our best VRBO stays. Thank you Andrea for making this such a great stay!

Charming Beach Cottage

Absolutely wonderful home and so close to the beach! Andrea was the best host and communicated with us before, during and after our stay. The home is a historic home with so much charm and love, you can feel it. It had all the amenities we needed, plus more! The porch was wonderful for our morning coffee. It was in a great location and we walked to the beach. We truly wished we could've stayed longer and hope to come back again soon! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Why they chose this property

I love this location 5 minutes from a lakefront run, pet walk or to watch the sunrise over one of America’s Great Lakes. We have beautiful beaches in the summer, 5 minute walk to the zoo and huge children’s beachfront playground. Beautiful contemplative fall walks along the lake. 20 minute walk from downtown coffee, shopping and restaurants. Don’t forget to see our lovely marina.

What makes this property unique

Unique, historical cottage “Cream City” brick home from the previous century situated near America’s Great Lake Michigan.
