The Beach Cottage at Michigan Blvd.

Perfect house for a large family

This was a great house! The beds were really comfy. The owners had lots of games stocked and great beach chairs and beach toys. The coffee pot, blender, pitchers and storage containers were much appreciated. The house was well stocked with dishes, silverware and glasses. The only thing that was missing was a large skillet or griddle. The washer and dryer worked great and came in very handy. There was lots of great utensils for the grill, which we used most every night. We loved sitting on the front deck overlooking a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. And North beach was right across the street. It was so big and clean! The owner was very helpful when we had questions. When we got there the floors could have been a little cleaner and there was a broken drawer in the kitchen. The heat dry on the dishwasher didn’t seem to work, so we had to hand dry them. To be fair, we didn’t reach out to the owners about this during the stay. There may have been a solution. But overall it was a great house for us and the location was awesome!

The location was marvelous. The home was clean and charming and had all the comforts of home.

The property was wonderful. Location was great.

We had an amazing time at The Beach Cottage in Racine. The property had beautiful views of the lake and there was a walking trail right across the street that I used every morning where I saw different views of the lake and some gorgeous birds. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with dishes, a coffee maker, plenty of storage for our groceries. We went to a Brewer’s game and had a wonderful time. Also visited Mar’s Cheese Castle and some great little artsy shops on Main Street. Gypsy Java coffee shop was super cute too! Don’t hesitate to book this property. It was one of our best family vacations to date!

Our family had the best time and we enjoyed our stay. They even have some beach equipment that wasn’t listed! We would highly recommend this place and hope to make it back soon.

We have stayed in our share of VRBO properties over the years, and this is, by far, the most welcoming one we’ve ever stayed in. You will not believe the care that the hosts have put into this place to make it a great stay for children and adults alike. Parents of babies will appreciate the pack and play, baby gates, high chair and stroller. No need to pack anything for the beach; they have sand toys, multiple umbrellas and chairs, and to the delight of my boys, a football and soccer ball. Even the power strips placed near each bed have outlets and USB ports. Plenty of dishes, pots and pans, and a crock pot. No need to buy paper towels, toilet paper, even spices—it’s all here! The hosts sent me a wonderful welcome email with suggestions for dining and activities. I’m so glad they mentioned the nearby lighthouse. We happened to be here on one of the days that you can climb to the top! We also visited the zoo, a great local spot with fun experiences for all, fished at the marina, and of course spent plenty of time at the beach and kids cove playground. After our action packed days we enjoyed a fire and dinner at the table in the backyard. I cannot say enough great things. We will certainly be back. Thank you to Kyle and Aaron for an unforgettable family vacation!

My family of 6 enjoyed this property which is steps away from the beach. The home is very well stocked with beach gear (towels, chairs, toys), kitchen items (plenty of dishes/towels/soaps), and bed/bathroom amenities. Although the home itself is older (100+ years) it has been restored in the places that count the most, yet, flashes of historic, charming features can be spotted throughout. The decor is well-thought and stunning. We had no problems with functional systems (plumbing/hvac). I am very particular with cleanliness and this was one of the cleanest rentals I have seen in the 7 years we've been renting. We even got to witness a gorgeous sunrise hovering over the lake! Kyle & Aaron are very responsive. The neighborhood is quiet (for a beachfront and street-front) with quick access to many necessities and entertainment. We would definitely stay in one of their properties again (due to our family size, we would just upgrade to a home with 2 full baths, which was not available at the time). Thank you Kyle & Aaron.

This was our first true family vacation. It was great staying in a house instead of a hotel room. I can’t think of anything that would have made it better.

What a fantastic little beach house on Lake Michigan! Just steps from North Beach, this house had just about everything our little family needed. From beach toys to high chair, towels to wine glasses, we found that the house was well stocked. The proximity to the zoo and Racine was very convenient. We would happily stay here again.
