Newly restored Victorian
We really enjoyed our stay at Allison’s! The place was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The home was in a good location and instructions were clear. The tv had Netflix which was a plus! Highly recommend.

Best Downtown Location, Long-Term Stays Welcome!
I loved this place !!! I had such a good time here and it’s so cozy and comfortable!! The hosts were amazing and very communicative. They were very helpful this is the perfect place for couples as well.

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 McKinley Beach | Brady St Lower East
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.

Charming home w/ fire pit, walk to Lake Michigan
Jesica’s charming home is charming, clean and convenient. It is in a very nice and quiet neighborhood just a couple of blocks from Oakland Ave. where there is a great grocery store: Metro Market, a Walgreens, several coffee shops, restaurants and bars. The location is excellent if visiting the north side of Milwaukee. Jesica and her husband, Eric are very responsive to messages with questions. I highly recommend this property!

Adorable Studio McKinley Beach | BradySt Lowr East
Super close to what we needed and actually very cozy felt like a home away from home and the stairs was the only thing I didn’t expect but was very nice up high view

Beautiful McKinley Beach Sunrise Studio
Nice apartment… building common areas needs some cleaning

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.

Bass & Sparrow - Spa Retreat on the MKE River
This was exactly what we were looking for! We couldn’t believe that just a few minutes away from a mall, restaurants, and more, there was this peaceful street that felt miles outside of the city. The space was beautiful, well equipped, and very comfortable.

New! Modern River & Lake House – Book Now!
We enjoyed our stay while visiting for an event in the area. The cabin is nicely remodeled with modern updates and comfortable space for our family of three, plus pup. We loved the open kitchen and living area with lots of windows overlooking the river. Two huge TVs in the main area if you have a rainy day like we did. Everything was well stocked with anything we needed. Very comfy beds. The one bathroom is small, but nicely remodeled, and what I expected in a little waterfront cottage. Great communication and easy check in.

Cedarburg \ Mequon River retreat
Omri’s place was the perfect quiet getaway. We were super close to cedarburg and got to explore the town a little bit. It was pretty cold during our stay so we weren’t able to enjoy the outdoors as much as we’d hoped, but we made a fire indoors and it was lovely. For four adults and two infants it was the perfect amount of room for all of us and we felt right at home. We had a little trouble with the furnace and Omri was super responsive and helpful! Would recommend this place to anyone! Thanks, Omri!

Lake Michigan Romantic Getaway
Awesome place! The location was amazing and the house was absolutely gorgeous! Abey was an awesome host!

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.
Waterfront condo rentals

Riverfront 2BR • Outdoor Oasis • King Beds
Beautiful place! Two bedrooms, loved that they had different mattresses so you can pick what you prefer. Easy to find, safe neighborhood, interior was cute with gorgeous little stained glass windows. perfect place!

Waterfront Rehabbed 2 BR • 10 mins Fiserv/Downtown
My husband and I were first time visitors to the state of Wisconsin and we’re already planning our next trip! Michelle’s place was cozy, inviting, immaculately clean and the eclectic decor was fantastic. The neighborhood is quiet and the overall experience is exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. The combination of the mattress, comforter and sheets felt like a soft cloud- we slept like babies. Check out Collectivo Coffee for amazing coffee and breakfast sandwiches, AJ Bombers for burgers and cheese curds and Cedarburg if time allows for some shopping. Thank you Michelle!

English Tudor - Upper Flat blocks from the beach
Jodi's place was just as described. This is an older house with lots of charm. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms were well-stocked. Jodi was so easy to work with--very communicative, very responsive, a true delight. I would absolutely stay here again!!

Bay View - Lake View on the Park w/Secret Lounge
Beautiful home and incredible location. Every day we walked across the street to the South Shore beach to kick off the afternoon with beers by the lake. Club Garibaldi is an easy walk, where we had fantastic wings and caught a Thin Lizzy cover band. The apartment’s interior is stunning and simultaneously very cozy. We all enjoyed the fully stocked coffee and tea bar. Thank you, 10/10 highly recommend!
