The house was great and just what we needed. It was a nice location and a short walk to the beach where the sunrises were spectacular!

Thank you for the review, Miguel! I’m so glad you enjoyed the house and I look forward to hosting you again!
Beautiful very clean home! It had everything we needed for our stay and time on the beach. Short distance to the semi private beach, about a 2 minute walk, great for our little grandkids. We were usually the only family on the beach outside of walkers passing by. The host was very quick to respond to an issue we had and checked in after the first night to make sure everything was satisfactory. Highly recommend the Curtiss Castle!!

Thank you for the 5 star review, Denise. I’m glad your family enjoyed your stay. Thank you for leaving everything so neat and tidy! We appreciate you for choosing us and for taking good care of our home.
This place has been one of the best experiences I have ever had. My 7 friends and I had the best time! Very close access to the beach and a short drive to the cutest little town, it was the best of both worlds. Angelia was amazing at making us feel comfortable and was just a phone call away if we needed anything. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Thanks so much for choosing to stay with us, Chloe! I’m so glad everyone has a good time!
This is a fabulous property! Housed 4 couples and a 1 year old with no trouble. Wonderful outdoor space, great deck, yard and fire pit. Kitchen has everything you would need, plus an outdoor grill. Host was readily available to answer questions. BUT the best part is it’s proximity to the beach. Literally a 40 second walk down to a wonderful beach. Perfect place for a Wisc beach vacation!

Thank you, Margie! We hope you stay with us again.
What a gem!! The house was perfect for a family vacation with plenty of room for each family and a great tree house for the kids to enjoy. A lot of great benefits including a well stocked kitchen, beach toys, bikes, games, and a fire pit for s'mores. It's a very small walk to the beach and you could hear the water from the beautiful deck. Our weather was perfect. The host was wonderful and communication was more than I could have asked for and expected. She was quick to respond and extremely helpful! We highly recommend this home and will be back!
