90th birthday vacation
This house was perfect for the 3 of us on our vacation “back home” to celebrate my dad’s 90th birthday with family and close friends. Centrally located near Lake Michigan, downtown shops, the Racine zoo, and delicious restaurants, this was a great find.

Extended weekend getaway
Very nice historic house with an excellent location a couple of blocks from the lake, which was our primary reason for the trip. Our 4 yr old granddaughter wanted to go to the beach & this was the ideal roadtrip from St. Louis. The house was as described with 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths which comfortably accommodated our family of 5. Nice living & dining room & fully stocked kitchen. Patio with comfortable lawn furniture & a crate full of beach toys which my granddaughter enjoyed. Convenient off-street parking off the alley behind the house. The host was very quick to respond when contacted about an issue with the security code for the door locks, resolving the problem in minutes.
On the downside, the microwave didn’t work at all so we weren’t able to enjoy our leftovers from the great restaurants we visited. All 3 bedrooms are located up very narrow, steep stairs, which could be a little difficult for anyone with mobility issues.
Overall, very pleasant house in an excellent location.

Cute house, great location
We were in town for a music festival and stayed at this house. We had 7 total and there was plenty of room for everyone. The location was very safe feeling and in a quiet neighborhood. We sat out side by the fire pit every night. We also were able to walk to the beach. There were great dinner and brunch spots within 10 minutes ride. Also there are beach toys in the house if you have kids. We didn’t this time but just to note for those heading with kiddos. Only cons were the microwave didn’t really heat well. Not a big deal for us as we were just trying to warm up left overs. Also we were unable to control the temp of the house. Which was set at 70 so not terrible but our preference is cooler. Overall would recommend and would return!

Wonderful property in a convenient location.
This rental was perfect for our family group of 6 and was very nicely remodeled. While the bedroom configuration changed from when we booked, we were able to make it work. The convenient location did mean that one of the bedrooms faced a busy street and could be an issue for light sleepers. The host very responsive in replacing the coffeemaker when we found it not to be working.
