About this property

Sheila's Downtown Condo on Madeline Island



Walk to absolutely everything! Golf course, marina, ferry, galleries, restaurants, grocery, live music, bike, moped and kayak rentals, museum, beaches, and hiking trails. Charter a sunset sail.

The condo is only 1.5 blocks from the Ferry Landing and only 1/2 block from Lake Superior which can be seen from the large picture window in the living room. Being so close to the ferry landing means you don't have to bring your car over if you don't need to! You are surrounded by shops, galleries and restaurants allowing you to walk everywhere at your leisure! There is a bakery plus a coffee shop right below so you can meander down each day for a fresh pastry or sandwich to order.

The Madeline Island Chamber of Commerce offers a wealth of information from ferry schedules to weekly events, things to do, business listings, and info on the Town Park and the State Park. The Chamber has daily updates of which businesses are open/closed/hours. PLEASE CONTACT ALL BUSINESSES PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL to make sure they can accommodate the activities that are of interest to you.

All your bed linens, fluffy bath towels and beach towels are included along with cooking utensils, dishes, glassware, toaster, slow cooker, blender, and baking pans. Kitchen items such as coffee filters, basic spices, and products such as toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, and waste bags are provided. Just bring your suitcase and favorite toiletries! The AMENITIES section directly below gives detailed information about the condo.

BOOKING PROCEDURES: Please check the CALENDAR FOR AVAILABILITY. My listed rate includes local taxes, credit card service fees, and cleaning fees. Your 50% deposit secures your reservation. You will receive email notices of your payments and will receive a reminder email for your final payment about 3 weeks before your check-in date. Your balance is due prior to your arrival. Once I have received the balance I will email your Confirmation Letter that includes the address, directions from the ferry landing and the Keyless Door Code, along with parking information, some general information and the web link for the ferry schedule. KEEP IN MIND THAT ALL CORRESPONDENCE COMES FROM HOME AWAY. CHECK YOUR 'JUNK MAIL' FOR EMAILS that might get sent there.

Thank you!
Sheila

Lovely Time in La Pointe

We have stayed at Sheila’s condo several times over quite a few years and love it. It is right in town and across from Tom’s Burned Down Cafe. You’ll always feel like you’re in the action yet secluded beaches and forests are just minutes away.

Girls weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend on Madeline Island, and in Bayfield. I have stayed at this property before. The condo is clean, comfortable, and a very convenient location to bars, restaurants, and the ferry. I have stayed in this property before and I appreciate having such a great place to stay.

Lovely location

We enjoyed staying here! Was walkable to all the downtown shops, food, beach, and town gathering places. The museum was excellent. We drove to the state park for a beach day, otherwise car not needed. We enjoyed the Apostle Island boat tour, which is on the Bayfield side. Ferry was convenient and only left early once- rest was very prompt to schedule. The condo was cute and had everything we needed. Comfortable for our family. We would stay again for a relaxing simple island vacation.

Cleanest VRBO property ever!

We had a great time on Madeline Island. The property was very conveniently located and while it is just a normal apartment it was by far the cleanest vrbo property I have ever stayed in with my family. I would highly recommend.

Awesome little town

This was our first time visiting La Pointe. Although the weather didn’t cooperate as much as we’d like, it was still a great stay. Spent time waking around town, trying the local restaurants, and hiking at Big Bay State Park. Everyone was very nice and we loved how dog-friendly the town is.

Comfy Condo in central LaPointe

Perfect for two on an island visit. Very clean and orderly, well appointed. Easy keyed access, parking spot provided. Communication prompt and responsive. Will definitely stay here again on our visits to Madeline Island.

Decor was a bit dated but we were quickly won over with cleanliness and size.

Sheila’s condo is in the perfect location! Had a view of the lake and the ferries coming in. We walked to all of our meals, and the coffee house was directly below us. The bed was very comfortable. Madeline Island is a charming place. If we come back we will stay at Sheila’s again!

Everything was fine except for the weather. It was cold and rained all but one day. That day was beautiful. In retrospect we booked our stay too early we should have waited until after Labor Day.

Just Right

Just right for our extended stay in La Pointe. Had many other friends and family staying on the Island that week. From Sheilas Condo we could see the comings and goings of our traveling bunch. Everything you might need is at the condo. This was our second year staying there, we will be back again next year.

Nice condo in central location

The condo was exceptionally clean with all the amenities that a person would want. If you want to be in the "thick of things" the location is excellent. Even though the condo is downtown, it was nice and quiet. We arrived on a VERY HOT day and were very pleased that the air conditioner and fans were going upon our arrival.

Nice place

Overall rating was very good. It fit our needs nicely! Perfect location. Clean, quaint and neat. Bed was comfortable. Living room sofa and futon…not so much. Business entry door below unit was a bit irritating in the early morning squeaking and slamming. Owner responsive and accommodating. Price was very reasonable.

Nice condo on the Island

Great condo. Comfortable bed, great view, super location. The only drawback was that the living room windows did not have screens on them. We opened the windows during the day and closed them in the evening so we didn't get overloaded with bugs and it worked out just fine. I would be hesitant to stay here with small children. We enjoyed our stay. Would rent this condo again!

Overall a Nice Place to Stay

Overall a nice place to stay. Noisy, but to be expected given the location and price. The place was nice and very clean....certainly plenty good for my expectation. My only complaint, other than fairly noisy, is that the bathroom is very cramped and toilet needs an updating as it's so short. I'm 6' 1" and 220# and found it too small. If you're shorter/smaller, you'll probably be ok. Very handy access to ferry! Nice overall, I'd go back again if necessary.

Girls Weekend

My friend and stayed for a long weekend. Sheila responded quickly to my questions and check-in was easy. The location is in town near all the restaurants, shops, bars and Joni’s beach. The unit was clean and the kitchen and bathroom were both well stocked with everything we needed plus more. The only down side is that the bed is really hard and I prefer a softer bed. I slept on the pull out bed in the couch which is much softer and slept fine. I would definitely stay here again. Overall it was perfect for our trip!
