This place is an absolute gem—fun, unique, and full of personality. From the eye-catching exterior to all the thoughtful little details inside, it’s clear a lot of care went into creating such a memorable space.Fong was outstanding to work with. Communication was prompt, professional, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. Truly top-tier hospitality.Just a quick note for future guests (not a negative at all): the second bathroom is located downstairs off the laundry room. I initially missed that in the listing and was briefly confused, but it wasn’t an issue once I figured it out.The location couldn’t be better—close enough to downtown for an easy, inexpensive Lyft ride, yet tucked away in an area that feels very safe and relaxed.For locals especially, this is the perfect staycation spot. Great vibes, great experience—I’d absolutely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

Stay somewhere truly unforgettable in this one-of-a-kind Milwaukee home—a former neighborhood grocery store transformed into a spacious, entertainment-packed retreat for large groups. Built in 1923, this property blends historic character with modern comfort, featuring 11-foot ceilings, unique architectural details, and even a converted “meat locker” turned bunk-style loft bedroom.

With 2,000 square feet, 5 bedrooms, and accommodations for up to 16 guests, this home is ideal for family gatherings, group trips, and special occasions (non-party). What sets this property apart is its unmatched focus on entertainment. Guests can enjoy a full game room experience with a custom arcade featuring 1,100+ classic games, a pool table that converts into ping pong and dining space, foosball, jumbo yard games, and a wide selection of board games for all ages.

Two separate living rooms with large Smart TVs and streaming services provide plenty of space to relax, while the fully stocked kitchen makes it easy to cook and dine together. Outside, a spacious backyard with a grill and open space offers room to unwind or play.

Conveniently located in Milwaukee with easy parking for multiple vehicles, this home combines accessibility with privacy and space. While the home reflects its age with some natural wear, it is well-maintained, clean, and thoughtfully equipped to ensure a comfortable stay.

If you’re looking for a unique, spacious, and activity-filled home that brings people together, this Blue Storefront property delivers a memorable experience you won’t find anywhere else.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property truly special is its blend of history, character, and built-in entertainment you won’t find in a typical rental. Originally a neighborhood grocery store, this 1923 home has been thoughtfully transformed into a one-of-a-kind stay while preserving its vintage charm—highlighted by 11-foot ceilings and a creatively repurposed “meat locker” turned bunk-style loft bedroom.

This home is designed with groups in mind. With the ability to comfortably sleep up to 16 guests, multiple sleeping configurations, and two separate living rooms, your group can spread out while still enjoying shared spaces together. Whether you're traveling with family, friends, or multiple households, the layout makes it easy to balance privacy and connection.

A major standout is the all-in-one entertainment experience. Instead of needing to go out, guests have access to a full game room setup inside the home—featuring a custom arcade with 1,100+ games, a pool table that converts into ping pong and dining space, foosball, and a wide selection of board games. This makes the home ideal year-round, regardless of weather.

The property also offers practical conveniences that elevate longer stays, including a fully stocked kitchen, complimentary starter supplies, in-home laundry, and easy parking for multiple vehicles. The spacious backyard adds another layer of value, giving guests room to relax, grill, and enjoy outdoor games.

Finally, guests benefit from responsive local support. Because this is a professionally managed home with a dedicated team, any issues that arise can be handled quickly—providing peace of mind, especially in a historic property.

If you’re looking for a memorable, activity-rich stay that combines space, character, and convenience, this property offers a truly unique experience.
