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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Nice home in Shorewood, WI

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!

It is a beautiful little place, plenty of room for my sister and I to stay. Updated but keeping the old- doorknobs, windows, and hardwood floors. It is walking distance to many stores, coffee shops, the lake, and my brother’s house! I’m hoping my husband and I can stay next month.
