We booked this property previously and sought it out for our return visit to Racine. After driving 500 miles, it was like arriving home. The property is clean and comfortable. There is ample on-street parking close to the house. Communication is exceptional; Andrea Scott is very quick to answer questions. When we had a problem with the door code, she responded almost immediately, even though it was late when we messaged her. She resolved the problem quickly. We would seek out this property for a return visit.

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!

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 !

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.

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.
