About this property
Charming home w/ fire pit, walk to Lake Michigan
Welcome to our home in a quiet neighborhood, a short walk to gorgeous views over Lake Michigan and two blocks to restaurants, shopping, and nightlife.
Gather around the fire pit and grill dinner in the back patio. Listen to our vinyl collection or stream your own music while playing board games next to the smart TV.
Super-fast internet, a fully equipped kitchen with coffee & tea, and in-unit laundry. Two comfy queen beds + a sleeper sofa. Here with kids? We have toys, a Pack n' Play, & more.
We have fully remodeled the first floor apartment of this Craftsman duplex to create a bright, open space with hardwood floors, central heating and air, modern furniture, and artistic touches from Wisconsin.
Each bedroom has a comfortable queen bed; some guests have purchased the mattresses for their own home after staying! Additionally, there is a sofa in the living room with a pull out bed that can sleep two and a Pack 'n Play for the youngest children. Large closets and luggage racks in each room will allow you to unpack and stay a while, and a free washer and dryer is in the hallway between the two bedrooms for when you want to get laundry done.
The living room has a 65 inch smart TV, a vinyl music collection with a record player that can also stream your own music, toys and games for the kids, and some books about things to do in the area to help you plan your adventures in Milwaukee. We often have several devices to connect when we visit, so the internet speed is the fastest available.
The kitchen features LG stainless steel appliances and a coffee bar stocked from our favorite local coffeehouse. We love to cook, so you should have everything you need if you choose to make a meal. There is a beautiful grey oak table in the dining room and a also a breakfast bar where your family can gather to eat. There are wine, martini glasses, and mixers in the built in cabinets in the dining room for your entertaining. We also have kid-friendly plates, cups and utensils for your children.
The bathroom has extra shampoo, conditioner, and toiletries in the closet if you need it.
The backyard patio is our favorite part of the house, with a beautiful area to relax around a fire pit at the end of your day and a grill and picnic table for family cookouts.
We have a very quiet tenant upstairs who you likely won't see, but since this is a 100 year old home, you might occasionally hear the wooden floors squeak.
Shorewood is a delightful community with amazing parks, beer gardens, restaurants, bars, and boutiques. We have listed some of our favorites in our guest book. Atwater Park and beach overlooking Lake Michigan is a pleasant 15 minute walk away. All of Milwaukee's downtown destinations are just 10-15 minutes away by car -- we love to take Lincoln Memorial Drive for beautiful vistas over the lake.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great location. We attended a Brewers game and made it up to Lambeau Field. So many restaurants within walking distance and the Metro market was right around the corner. Great spot!
Overall it was a very comfortable and nice place to stay. Lots of nice details to make the stay special. Record player with many records. Private patio with gas fire was very welcoming.
We loved our stay here! The house had everything we needed, there was even a baby bath tub so we could give our daughter a bath. The backyard was a great place to hangout and we loved that there were toys for our daughter to play with. It was also really nice to be walking distance to the grocery store, coffee shops and restaurants. We will definitely be staying here again!
Clean comfortable duplex with character and great location
We stayed here for about a week in July with small dogs and a kid. We had a very comfortable stay in a great neighborhood for walks, playgrounds, and walking to lots of nearby restaurants and stores. We hope to stay here again!
This place was amazing. It was clean, had everything we needed and the location is perfect. The host was wonderful to work with and quickly answered their phones and responded to messages when we needed assistance! 10/10 recommend and we will be back. We are triathletes racing with USAT and this was exactly what we were needing for our race weekend!
This unit is the downstairs of a duplex with a quiet tenant upstairs on a quiet street. It was a very calming and comfortable place to stay while visiting a loved one at the local hospital.
Husband and I were visiting family. This location is convenient and near lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and the Oakleaf Trail. Also dog friendly! The house itself has two units and we hardly heard the upstairs tenants. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
Cute little property on a quiet street, great location near the beach, very walkable to restaurants and the market. The 5 minute walk to a shuttle for Summerfest was a huge plus and phenomenal fireworks display at the beach.Communication with the owners was very good
Cannot recommend enough. Great location within easy driving/walking distance to a great beach, many restaurants and coffee shops, and grocery store. When we ventured away from Shorewood, everything was within 15 minutes. It honestly felt like we found a home away from home. Will definitely rent again next time we visit Milwaukee.
This is a lovely home and just a quick walk to a Metro Market store, and several eateries. Also, easy to get downtown. The home is filled with all amenities and great hosts that are very responsive. It was a lovely stay and great place. Comfortable accommodations and everything one needs. Stayed almost a week and was just wonderful. Will definitely look forward to staying here again for future visits to the area.
We came to the MKE area to visit our son and his wife. The house is walking distance to morning coffee, lunch and dinner places. Very nice location and home!
We loved the location. We drove to the beach and ate at cute restaurants within walking distance (Milwaukee Brat Company and Starbucks). You are just minutes from downtown and Glendale (Sprechers Brewing). This quiet safe neighborhood was a relaxing getaway for the weekend!
Our stay was simply perfect! Quaint, clean and charming apartment with all the necessities that guests could want. The hosts were incredibly easy to communicate with and we loved having tea and coffee to enjoy! We will definitely return....
We returned to Shorewood for a visit with friends after 5 years away (40 years living there). This house helped us feel back at home. Everything was comfortable, clean and well-supplied. If we make another visit, we will look to rent it again!
We stayed for a long weekend. Really appreciated small touches like shower products provided in the bathroom; saves a lot of hassle and extra expense on a short stay. Guests with children will appreciate things like the rubber spoons and bowls for toddlers, as well as kids blankets. All the kitchen appliances were top-quality: large fridge, toaster oven, microwave, espresso machine. Iron and ironing board provided. Smart TV with access to multiple streaming services and entertainment platforms, as well as books and games for a rainy day.
Lots of good things about this property. Easy to find and drive to. Nice neighborhood for walks and safety. Lisa pizza highly recommended. One drawback is noise from upstairs neighbor. But yu knw that going in and it wasn't terrible just a minor issue.
Stayed in this cute house with my family (4 of us) and we were very comfortable. We didn't realize from the listing that this was the bottom floor of a duplex. The upstairs neighbor was very quiet, so it worked out well. Very convenient to lots of things to do. Hosts were very responsive and kind. Would definitely stay here again!
