Remodel Cozy Studio Apartment in McKinley Beach an
Great stay. I would stay here again but I hope the building manager (not the host) fix the common areas and get rid of that old smoke smell in the hall. Fortunately the smell does not linger beyond that point. I really enjoyed my stay and the views in area is phenomenal.

Best Downtown Location, Long-Term Stays Welcome!
I had a wonderful stay during my conference! The location is within walking distance of the city center, in a calm and safe neighborhood. Everything was new, modern, and very clean. I really enjoyed my time here!

2BR Modern Luxe Unit, Prime East Side Location
The apartment is very good, big enough for 4 people and is super equipped! Have everything you may need. The location also is very good, close to some bars, restaurants and supermarkets. We felt safe and comfortable. We would stay there again! Super recommend!

Lovely Studio Apartment in McKinley Beach and Brad
The place is situated in a very good location, offering easy access to key attractions and local dining options, which made exploring the city a breeze. The space itself was cozy and well-maintained, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of sightseeing. Despite being compact, the layout was efficient and everything I needed was readily available. The decor was modern yet inviting, which added to the overall pleasant experience. Overall, I would rate this Airbnb a solid 5 out of 5 stars. It provided everything I needed for a comfortable and convenient stay, and I would certainly consider returning.

Elegant Studio Studio Apartment in McKinley Beach
This place was nice! Only issue was there was a lot of spiders popping out! Other than that it was clean and nice.

Lake Life
Nina's lake listing was exactly as described, with all necessities and CLEAN. We had no issues with check in, check out or delays in communication. Nina was communicative, flexible and welcoming. Would absolutely stay again.

LAKE MICHIGAN LAKEFRONT ESTATE! STUNNING PROPERTY
Akil's home exceeded expectations. From the moment that we booked until we checked out, he was responsive and detailed. He provided a number of amenities at the house that made our stay memorable, including complimentary beverages, and the house was well-stocked with anything a family could want for an extended stay. The house is well-maintained, with new appliances, updated bathrooms and clean carpets. The yard is expansive and was professionally cared for when we were there. The neighborhood is quiet and there is a park, athletic field and a schoolyard within easy walking distance. The view of Lake Michigan from the property are spectacular and the best part of our experiences was the wildlife. We saw bald eagles and foxes multiple times and the variety of birds was impressive. We are looking forward to a return trip!

New! Modern River & Lake House – Book Now!
Host graciously made things work for us last minute which was hugely appreciated. Home was perfectly clean, new, beds were super comfy, and had everything we needed. We were able to get out on the water and do some fishing and kayaking. Would definitely book here again. Thanks for everything!

Lakeside Retreat
We looked for a peaceful , relaxing weekend for my dad’s 70th birthday and that is exactly what we got on this property. Location & amenities are great. Lexi went above & beyond with the accommodations which made our stay way better than expected. We’ll definitely book again… Thank you so much 🙏🏽

Modern Family Lake Home: Sunflower House
Me and my bridesmaids stayed here the night before my wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect view to wake up to and the house fit us all perfectly. Hilary was extremely flexible and kind when helping me book. Will definitely be back!!

Boho By The Lake, Stylish Retreat | Lakeside Views
We picked this home because of the location. It’s very close to the Oakleaf Trail and Lake Michigan. We loved everything about this stay. The hosts were wonderful. The location is convenient. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. We will definitely rent here again. Thank you for a great day!

Lake Michigan Romantic Getaway
This house really delivered. Being lakeside was such a treat and the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the garden and lake created a wow factor every time we walked into the living area. It was well furnished and equipped with all the kitchen amenities you want in a private home. Loved it.

Make Yourself At Home! Close to Lake & Airport!
Ann went above and beyond to be a fantastic host!!! Her listing gives a very accurate overview of the living space and what to expect during this airbnb experience. She makes you feel at home and like you're staying at a friend or family member's house vs. an impersonal hotel. Her wonderful pets are an added bonus. There was a furry welcoming committee there to meet us at the door and to offer snuggles :) I would recommend this airbnb to anyone! It's in a peaceful neighborhood and only a short drive to shopping centers and restaurants galore.

Riverfront 2BR • Outdoor Oasis • King Beds
Had a great time, loved the neighborhood and proximity to attractions we planned to visit. Will say that you can definitely hear noise between floors so I would not stay with our young children again because while I fortunately believe no one was overlapping with us, it was very obvious when cleaners arrived on our check out day. Downstairs neighbors probably wouldn't have appreciated children above them! Beautiful place and I'm obsessed with the wallpaper.

Waterfront Rehabbed 2 BR • 10 mins Fiserv/Downtown
My mom and I stayed at Michelle’s place for a week. It was so wonderful! The pier was so peaceful in the afternoon! We really enjoyed our stay here!

English Tudor - Upper Flat blocks from the beach
Once we landed in Milwaukee, we texted Jodi to let her know when we expected to arrive at her place. She quickly responded that she had some errands but provided the entry code and made us feel welcome. We got settled in and then she reached out via text to let us know she had returned. She came up to meet us in person and helped us understand the city requirements for parking on the street. She had already provided the URL to the registration site and just made sure we were comfortable with what needed to be done. She later informed me that I'd parked on the wrong side of the street so that I could move the vehicle so that it didn't get a ticket. I appreciated that. We were out and about most of the time we were there. The notes that she had placed throughout were very helpful. The booklet that she printed was very clear and her expectations were reasonable and easy to meet. It's an older home, but very quaint and pretty cool.

Bay View - Lake View on the Park w/Secret Lounge
We rented this entire house, both upper and lower units (separate listings) for our wedding across the street at South Shore Pavilion. This rental was outstanding and created a beautiful and stress free home-base for our wedding guests and weekend. The bridal party was able to get ready here before the ceremony and guests from out of town had clean private bedrooms to stay in. Awesome eclectic vibe and plenty of places to relax, with plenty of extra room. I recommend this rental to anyone spending an important weekend in Bayview, like a wedding. The next door neighbors were courteous and very tolerant of our busy weekend. Instructions were clear for how to stay out of their way and how to be good guests in the neighborhood of mostly homeowners. I would not consider this a “party house” given the context of the neighborhood and rather a beautiful relaxing domain to enjoy the best neighborhood in Milwaukee.
