Kitchen was beautiful and had everything we needed. The only utensil missing was a pizza cutter. We loved the coffee options and big clean fridge. The kitchen was super cute. Food and groceries were only about an 11min drive that was super convenient. Neighbors were kind and it was a very quiet neighborhood.

We enjoyed our stay! The house is a great size for our big family. We traveled with grandparents, teenagers and a baby. It is close to a nice beach and about 40 mins to the Milwaukee zoo. It was a very nice and relaxing few days staying at this property. We really enjoyed our stay. The hosts are great.

The location worked well for us, close to downtown Racine, WI

The house was large enough for us and close to downtown Racine which both were important to us. The shower was updated and clean, kitchen nice. The outside porch needed to be cleaned of spider webs. Ps, didn't see a toaster anywhere, it would have been nice.

My family of 7 and I had a great time. The home was clean and it's decor is cute. There was enough space and rooms for all of us to feel comfortable. The small details provided by the owners such as the welcome card, flowers, and snacks made the experience even nicer.
