Home built in 1881! Impressed with updates but maintained old world charm. Comfy, cozy, everything we needed.The lake was beautiful and beach is clean, easy access. There is a zoo that we wish we had time to visit, so close you could walk to it. Lots of quaint placs to grab a meal. The fenced in yard a huge bonus for the fur baby.Being downtown, we expected street noise. Nope, inside it was quiet and comfy beds made for sleepy dreams of rolling lake waves lapping at the shore, seagulls, swallows and more.Host is awesome. Highly recommended! Perfect for 2 or family of 4.

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.

Cute house with everything we needed!

The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The owner gave us suggestions for Wells Brother’s Pizza and it was amazing. Location is close to the zoo and beach so that was nice. Thank you for a great stay!

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!

Great location, walking distance to lake and zoo. Quiet safe feeling neighborhood. The place is thoughtfully equipped with anything you need. Plenty of room for a family. Next time I hope to bring the grandkids. The host is a great communicator, left ideas about water to eat etc. Definitely recommend!

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.
