What a gem!

This was an exceptional stay. The house is recently remodeled and they did such a lovely job. It was truly the perfect landing spot for me and my family. Easily walkable to downtown Port Washington and the Marina. It was also nice to have on-site parking behind the garage. Holly was a great communicator from the start and very helpful. I would book this listing again in a heartbeat.

Family Vacation 2024

My husband, daughter, son-in-law and I loved the house. The bedroom area in the lower level provided them their own space. The house was clean and the neighborhood was very cozy and quiet. We visited WI manly to enjoy sites in Milwaukee but found ourselves also enjoying spending time in Port Washington. We walked into the downtown area and had dinner then walked out to a nearby lighthouse. Such a great little town. We felt like we were in a town in the New England area. Would definitely stay here again!

Best rental we’ve ever stayed!!!

This place is incredible! Excellent location to cute picturesque downtown Port Washington and just a hop and skip to downtown Milwaukee. The home had excellent finishes with more amenities than most places provide. Extra thought was put into the kitchen with a large island and super comfy chairs. Being our whole family are coffee drinkers we also enjoyed the Kuerig duo. The kitchen also had a quiet dishwasher and convenient water and ice in the frig. The open floor concept was spacious with more than enough seating for everyone and equipped with an upscale 77” OLED tv in the living room for our viewing pleasure. Bathrooms were upgraded, clean and nicely supplied. Plenty of bath towels, lots of hot water and good water pressure. And a nice bonus, tall shower heads, my son-in-law is 6’7” so he was especially appreciative. All the king beds (we didn’t use the other beds) were comfortable and outfitted with quality linens and bedding. Just can’t say enough about how nice and comfortable our stay was in this adorable home. You won’t regret renting it. If we are ever in the area again, we will without a doubt stay again. Thank you, Holly!!

We cannot emphasize enough how WONDERFUL our hosts were and how INCREDIBLE the property was. When we arrived, we were so amazed by the cleanliness and open feeling of the place, yet how warm and inviting it felt. My fiance and I rented the vrbo for our families for our wedding weekend- and some of our bridal party ended up getting their hair and makeup done at the vrbo. The hosts knew it was our wedding weekend, and when we arrived, there were bottles of champagne and cards for us in the fridge, from both the hosts and the housekeeper, Cheryl. Fast forward to the morning of the wedding...my girls and I were getting ready, heating up some breakfast and the lights kept flickering. We were confused because we didn't even have any appliances plugged in, and then all the sudden it went dark. We checked the breakers, and we couldn't figure out what was going on, so we asked the neighbors, and sure enough, 1500 people were out of power in the Port Washington area. We remained calm, but also had to figure out what to do as it was 8am and we were supposed to be getting our hair and makeup done. We called Holly, the host, and she dove right in, as investigated in the matter as we were. She ended up getting ahold of the amazing neighbors who, without hesitation, dug a gas generator out of their garage and ran an extension cord to the house so we could plug in our curling irons and turn on some lights. Needless to say, we had a great time, made great memories, and had a 10/10 stay!!!

We are Curt and Holly Ortmeier. We currently reside in the Nashville, TN, area full time but frequent the Port Washington area to visit our grandchildren. We love hosting, and also own rentals in Panama City Beach, FL, and Nashville. Holly grew up in Port Washington. There truly is no place like home!

Why they chose this property

The home is within walking distance to all that Port Washington has to offer. We take great pride in and exquisite care of this home as it's Holly's childhood home and has remained in our family since it was built by her late grandmother. We've named our Port homestead "Generations" for this reason.
