The living room has a sleeper sofa, a 65 inch TV, vinyl records, and toys for the kids
We enjoy this backyard space for family dinners outside, and cuddling around the fire when the sun goes down. We also have a game of cornhole to entertain the kids while we fire up the grill.

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.

This is a first floor apartment in a two-story duplex. 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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great kid friendly place!

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!

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!

Cozy Stay

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.

A quiet place to stay

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.

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.

Perfect spot in 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 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!

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.

Nice location and good accommodations

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.

Location and Quality! We loved the easy walk to restaurants and Lake Michigan. Charming neighborhood. The unit itself is excellent. Good furniture, comfortable beds, great selection of kitchenware and tastefully decorated. (I didn't see a toaster, but I might have missed it). There is a tenant in the unit above so you occasionally hear them walking / floors creaking. But that was no bother at all and to be expected with an older home.

Comfortable, cute property with great hosts!

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!
