Thanks for checking out our beach home!

This home is on Lake Superior in one of Marquette's most remarkable locations. It is one of only two privately owned homes that are on the beach and yet still in town, where you can park your car and walk to everything. With wide, sweeping vistas of Lake Superior and the Marquette lighthouse, this home is literally steps to McCarty's Cove, a family friendly beach noted in USA Today’s “Best Small Towns for Adventure”. This homeis near it all and away from it all, all at once!

From your home you can walk the beach with your morning coffee and watch the sun rise, then in the afternoon you can watch your children wriggle their toes in the clean Lake Superior sand and splash in its crystal clear waters. Come evening you can enjoy a meal and glass of wine while listening to the sound of the waves.

Walking into the home you are welcomed by an open kitchen surrounded by tall windows offering a 180 degree view of Lake Superior. There is a sun room open to the kitchen that provides a place to relax and take in the sights of the lake, McCarty’s Cove, and the Marquette Lighthouse.

The first floor includes a dining room, a living room with a gas fireplace, a bathroom with a washer and dryer, and a bunkbed room. Upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms, a bathroom and a sun room with floor to ceiling windows ideal for watching 1000 foot freighters glide by on Lake Superior.

This home sleeps nine people and includes one master bedroom with a king sized bed, one bedroom with a queen sized bed, a second story sun room with a day bed, a first floor bunk bed room, and a queen size pull out couch in the living room.

The home is well-appointed with a kitchen stocked with plenty of cookware, plates, glasses, and utensils. The bedrooms have comfortable linens and down comforters. The home has two bathrooms with an ample supply of towels. The home also includes WiFi and a smart TV in the living room.

Outside the home is a large deck with an outdoor dining set and outdoor seating perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine or frosty mug of beer while watching the waves roll onto the beach.

This is a four seasons home with a cool lake breeze providing air conditioning in the summer while protecting you late into the fall while you watch gale winds whip the waves into a frenzy from the comfort of your home. The home will keep you cozy during a U.P. winter storm and provide you a front row seat in the spring when the ice on the lake breaks up and ice bergs bob in the water.

If your ideal vacation involved parking the car for a week, you won't be disappointed. The city bike path is right in front of the home and you are walking distance to both the downtown and Third Street Village shops, restaurants, coffee houses, and brew pubs and within biking distance to Presque Isle Park. If adventure is on your list, you're just a short drive to waterfalls, vistas, and hiking, biking and running trails suited to any level of difficulty you desire.

Looking to exchange your I do's while overlooking Lake Superior Please ask about hosting your wedding at the home! The backyard can accommodate up to 60 chairs and the driveway can accommodate a 20' x 40' tent. Sorry, chairs and tent not included in the fee, but we can recommend a local vendor! For up to 60 people, the additional fee to host a ceremony only at the home is $575.00 and the additional fee to host a ceremony and reception at the home is $1150.00. Please ask about pricing for gatherings greater than 60 people.

Please feel free to contact us so we can answer any questions you may have about the home or Marquette. We are locals and live just blocks away and are happy to help you make the most of your stay!

    Once again, a fantastic stay! This is an absolute gem of a house and the location is perfect. This trip we saw an amazing sunrise and an absolutely surreal sunset with a rainbow and beautifully vivid pink clouds. We also saw surfers and collected more beach glass for our collection. Marquette is a lovely town and we can't wait to come back again!!!

    This was our second time staying at the beach house and once again, it did not disappoint. This is one of my very favorite rental homes and I’ve rented quite a few in the last 10 years. Greg and Kate are amazing hosts who are so generous in opening up their beautiful properties to others. I can’t say enough about the memories that we have created here and if you’re looking to do the same, I highly recommend The Beach House!! Jill R and Family

    I booked our family trip for the NMU graduation weekend. The home is right on the beach and provides great views of Lake Superior. Downtown Marquette is only a 20-minute walk. The home also has a very nice dining area, where we used to have a home-cooked dinner for the graduation celebration. The owners provided a welcome basket of items from local vendors, which was greatly appreciated. There is a foosball table that we used for a fun family tournament. Communication with Greg and Kate was very responsive. We would highly recommend staying here, and we will look to book another vacation with Greg and Kate when we return to Marquette.

    Five of our family visited to spend time with our two young adults attending NMU, and this home was absolutely perfect for our weekend stay. The house had plenty of space, beautiful decor, and great character. The fireplace made for a cozy retreat in the winter weather, and the upstairs tub was perfect for a relaxing soak.We loved sipping coffee at the kitchen table while taking in the breathtaking views. The large dining room table was perfect for meals and game nights with our group. Walking on the snowy beach right out front was a unique and fun experience. We had everything we needed for cooking, and the well-stocked kitchen made meal prep easy.Watching the dog sled teams depart was a highlight of our trip, and the views of the water, snow, and ice were simply stunning. Thank you for sharing this amazing home with us—we couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

    On the beach, walking distance to downtown can't get a better location only complaint is the stairs going upstairs are dangerous! Other than that the stay and house are amazing for a group of 5!
