The Beachcomber was perfect for our family (6 adults, 26-77). Proximity to lake, NMU and town made everything easy. We were attending Grandon’s hockey game at NMU and also able to celebrate his birthday with his roommates by cooking them a home cooked meal. Everything needed was there and home was very clean. Loved decor.

Perfect location.

Stayed in town for long weekend celebrating my daughter bridal shower at Landmark. Was close to everything I miss about living in Marquette. Town, trails, beach, etc. Matt was a wonderful host, house was well stocked with all things needed for perfect vacay. Three bedrooms all on separate floors allowing for privacy and decorated with local memorabilia. Sauna was a hit. Would definitely stay again.

Urban Beachcomber was a fantastic place to stay and Matt was an excellent host. Perfectly located. Easy access to the bike trail. We went all over to town on our bikes. Up to Presque Isle, over to Harvey and all over town. A one-mile walk into town every night for dinner at our favorite Mqt eateries. Thank you Matt!! We will certainly be back.

Great spot for a family getaway

Matt’s place was a perfect fit for our two families. The downstairs level with a bedroom, bathroom, and entertainment room was perfect for a second family to have some privacy. The location was great, would love to come back in the summer to take advantage of the easy beach access! We were especially impressed with the well-stocked kitchen. Highly recommend this property!
