About this property

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be within walking distance of Lake Michigan. Enjoy features like laundry facilities. The apartment offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

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.

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.

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.

Holiday/Summerfest Weekend

Cute little property on a quiet street, great location near the beach, very walkable to restaurants and the market. The 5 minute walk to a shuttle for Summerfest was a huge plus and phenomenal fireworks display at the beach.Communication with the owners was very good

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.

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!

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.

Nice home in Shorewood, WI

We returned to Shorewood for a visit with friends after 5 years away (40 years living there). This house helped us feel back at home. Everything was comfortable, clean and well-supplied. If we make another visit, we will look to rent it again!

Shorewood getaway

Great place to relax on your Milwaukee vacation. Fridge was stocked with drinks, vinyl ready to be played, the fire pit waiting for you to sit and chat with friends. Decor and furnishings made for a pleasant return from the day's adventures. A couple of things made me drop the rating from 5 to 4 star though. The home is a duplex so you stay below another tenant. Although they were not loud, their audible footsteps above, entering the shared doorway, and their front door repeatedly cracked open kept reminding me we were sharing the home with a permanent resident. I didn't feel the privacy that VRBO promotes. Also since there is only 1 bathroom it would have been nice for it to have a fan installed. The fire pit and grill share a propane tanks, so don't expect to operate those simultaneously. In general it was a great place in a nice location. If you go in expecting to share the house and crack open the bathroom window when necessary, you should have a pleasant hub for your Milwaukee trip.
