Great Stay!

We had a great stay at Angela's place. Location was great -- beautiful view of the lake and easy walking to numerous restaurants. The place was very clean and larger than we expected. So many little touches that put this place a step above some others that we've stayed in -- phone chargers, full length mirrors, snacks, etc. Loved the decor/furniture.

Stay at Waves

My husband and I brought our two boys (18y and 13y) and our dog for a short getaway and stayed at Angela’s apartment, Waves, in Racine. We had a great time. It’s literally a few minutes away from the lake front where there is a nice trail right by the water and from Downtown where there are a number of great restaurants. The apartment is well maintained. Angela was highly responsive. Definitely a 5-star!

A nice place in the middle of it all

The apartment was clean and modern. The beds were very comfortable. There is now a wall that separates the two bedrooms giving more privacy which was nice. The check in information did not include the Wi-Fi password which was a little disappointing, however we were not there very long in Racine to really need it. We were busy shopping and walking to Lake Michigan to really have time to ask. Overall a really great place in the heart of the town:)

Short trip during College tour/visit

Perfect size for the 3 of us Could have had 2 more kids / teens and still more than enough room. Bathroom s both good size. Bedrooms all the space you need. Nicely stocked kitchen. I would assume a good spot for spring / summer/fall to wander the area/lakefront but we of course come when it was in the single digits. Only thing I would suggest is with smart tvs either have ability to add app ( no peacock or paramount plus added and we couldn’t) or have all apps already avalible to sign into. With weather and playoff football the tv was a necessity and luckily we could “cast” from phone but not ideal. Not a negative but a comment. We had a great stay

Great apartment

We needed a quick and convenient place to stay for a funeral and this apartment couldn't have been more perfect. Angela was a wonderful host responding quickly to any message and providing everything and more to make our stay comfortable. Great location allowing us to walk to the lake and restaurants. Comfortable beds and nice common area to play games after a long sad day. We will stay here again the next time we are in Racine!

Perfect Place to Stay

The property was perfect! The place was clean and cozy, super close to shopping areas, within a 10-15 minute drive to tons of things, and has an amazing view of the water from the living room window. There’s nothing about this place that we didn’t love. In fact, we liked it so much we stayed an extra day. It was super easy to get ahold of the property manager and she was really helpful and quick to answer - a pleasure to deal with. If we’re ever back in the area, I’ll definitely stay here again!
