About this property
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.
We have fully remodeled the first floor apartment of this Craftsman duplex to create a bright, open space with hardwood floors, central heating and air, modern furniture, and artistic touches from Wisconsin.
Each bedroom has a comfortable queen bed; some guests have purchased the mattresses for their own home after staying! Additionally, there is a sofa in the living room with a pull out bed that can sleep two and a Pack 'n Play for the youngest children. Large closets and luggage racks in each room will allow you to unpack and stay a while, and a free washer and dryer is in the hallway between the two bedrooms for when you want to get laundry done.
The living room has a 65 inch smart TV, a vinyl music collection with a record player that can also stream your own music, toys and games for the kids, and some books about things to do in the area to help you plan your adventures in Milwaukee. We often have several devices to connect when we visit, so the internet speed is the fastest available.
The kitchen features LG stainless steel appliances and a coffee bar stocked from our favorite local coffeehouse. We love to cook, so you should have everything you need if you choose to make a meal. There is a beautiful grey oak table in the dining room and a also a breakfast bar where your family can gather to eat. There are wine, martini glasses, and mixers in the built in cabinets in the dining room for your entertaining. We also have kid-friendly plates, cups and utensils for your children.
The bathroom has extra shampoo, conditioner, and toiletries in the closet if you need it.
The backyard patio is our favorite part of the house, with a beautiful area to relax around a fire pit at the end of your day and a grill and picnic table for family cookouts.
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.
Shorewood is a delightful community with amazing parks, beer gardens, restaurants, bars, and boutiques. We have listed some of our favorites in our guest book. Atwater Park and beach overlooking Lake Michigan is a pleasant 15 minute walk away. All of Milwaukee's downtown destinations are just 10-15 minutes away by car -- we love to take Lincoln Memorial Drive for beautiful vistas over the lake.
Located on the waterfront, this apartment is in Shorewood, a neighborhood in Milwaukee. The Rave-Eagles Club and Harley-Davidson Museum are cultural highlights, and travelers looking to shop may want to visit Mayfair Mall. Traveling with kids? Make time for Milwaukee County Zoo, or check out an event or a game at Fiserv Forum. Visit our Milwaukee travel guide

Clean comfortable duplex with character and great location
We stayed here for about a week in July with small dogs and a kid. We had a very comfortable stay in a great neighborhood for walks, playgrounds, and walking to lots of nearby restaurants and stores. We hope to stay here again!
We came to the MKE area to visit our son and his wife. The house is walking distance to morning coffee, lunch and dinner places. Very nice location and home!
We loved the location. We drove to the beach and ate at cute restaurants within walking distance (Milwaukee Brat Company and Starbucks). You are just minutes from downtown and Glendale (Sprechers Brewing). This quiet safe neighborhood was a relaxing getaway for the weekend!
Our stay was simply perfect! Quaint, clean and charming apartment with all the necessities that guests could want. The hosts were incredibly easy to communicate with and we loved having tea and coffee to enjoy! We will definitely return....
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!
Stayed in this cute house with my family (4 of us) and we were very comfortable. We didn't realize from the listing that this was the bottom floor of a duplex. The upstairs neighbor was very quiet, so it worked out well. Very convenient to lots of things to do. Hosts were very responsive and kind. Would definitely stay here again!
It is a beautiful little place, plenty of room for my sister and I to stay. Updated but keeping the old- doorknobs, windows, and hardwood floors. It is walking distance to many stores, coffee shops, the lake, and my brother’s house! I’m hoping my husband and I can stay next month.
This property was in a very nice residential area in a great location ! We were able to walk our dogs every morning - walk for coffee - walk to the beach area . The owners thought of everything you may need in the home . It worked out perfectly !
Here are some characteristics of the Casita that we liked:
Clean, open space with plenty of natural light and modern appliances.
Quiet and peaceful neighborhood
There was a problem with hot water supply. Otherwise, we would have rated this place 5/5
This unit is amazing!!! It was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. The attention to all details was perfection. The turn table and albums is a whimsical touch that we enjoyed immensely. These hosts have gone above and beyond to supply their guests with amenities that most VRBO owners do not, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. I will definitely book again when I visit the Milwaukee area in the future.
Well maintained property. All needed updates. USB ports in every room. Host was immediately available for two minor problems and thoroughly explained check in and parking. One recommendation would be window coverings in kitchen and two small side windows in living room.
Great location. 1 mile walk to Atwater beach and several good restaurants within short walk. Recommend Benji's Deli and Buttermints for fine dining.
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.
Great stay overall! The location was convenient and the host was super communicative throughout our visit. The property is a duplex with another unit upstairs — we didn’t hear the upstairs guests at all, though the entrance is shared, which wasn’t an issue for us. The backyard wasn’t fenced and felt a bit dreary during our winter stay, but I could see it being really nice during the warmer months. Would stay here again!!
Great location. We attended a Brewers game and made it up to Lambeau Field. So many restaurants within walking distance and the Metro market was right around the corner. Great spot!
Overall it was a very comfortable and nice place to stay. Lots of nice details to make the stay special. Record player with many records. Private patio with gas fire was very welcoming.
