Quiet and comfortable
Our family loved the stay here! With lots of charm and plenty of space, we felt at home right away, and our kids kept asking to go back to the "new house" so they could play on the bunk beds and flop around on the big sofa in the living room. The location is perfect, too, with quick access to the beach, downtown Racine, grocery stores, and plenty of beautiful neighborhood streets for a walk.

Quaint and quiet by the lake
Very comfortable place to stay close to downtown Racine with lots of clubs and also pretty close to Milwaukee. Down the street within walking distance is a zoo and the beach which stretches on for a great distance up and down the shore line. Great place and very comfortable and relaxing!

Great House by the Lake
It is the first floor of a great house. The house is on Main Street two blocks from the lake. It is a short walk to Zoo Beach and a medium walk to North Beach. There are a large living room, a nice kitchen, two bedrooms (one with a large bed and the other woth bunk beds), and a nice bathroom. We appreciated the two bikes and the front porch.

Great location, well appointed!
We had an amazing stay at this property! It’s a great location, a block off of Lake Michigan and well appointed. Don’t stress if you forgot something, chances are it’s available at this property! The hosts were very communicative and so kind. We have nothing but good things to say.

An truly incredible place to get away! A++ property
We decided to take an impromptu trip and stumbled upon this listing in Racine. It was a town that we hadn’t heard of, but after a quick google search, decided to give it a go. We’re so glad we did!!! First off, the property was absolutely lovely and the host went truly above and beyond with exceptional touches!! The close proximity to many attractions was what drew us to this place and it was so wonderful being able to walk a couple of blocks to the beautiful shoreline (with a European feel). We walked to an outdoor amphitheater and enjoyed a lovely concert, as well as taking our daughter to the Racine zoo, which we actually preferred over the Milwaukee zoo. The city is nicely situated between Milwaukee and Kenosha. We even drove 45 minutes down to Illinois Beach State Park and enjoyed some great exploring. As for the property itself, it was immaculate and charming as can be! The bedrooms were spacious with many available sleeping arrangements. The living area was cozy and homey, which made for a great place for our family to come back to and watch a movie. The bathroom was one of the nicest I’ve seen through a rental marketplace. The host was incredibly communicative and SO helpful throughout our week stay! She recommended many fun local activities, excellent restaurants, etc.! We felt very at home and welcomed. I can’t say enough complimentary things about this lovely rental and the city of Racine. Thank you, we hope to come back soon!!!
