My stay in Port Washington was absolutely amazing! The house was incredibly comfortable, and the beds were some of the best I’ve ever slept in. The entire home was beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully put together.Everything was conveniently located and easy to get to, making the stay even more enjoyable. The owner was extremely helpful, kind, and responsive, which made the experience stress-free.The bathroom was stunning and so relaxing—it truly felt like a spa retreat. Every detail of this home made our stay special. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would!

We loved everything about the apartment: beautiful, clean, comfortable, showers fantastic, amenities plentiful. Having stayed in lots of vacation rentals over the years, this one is right on top of our list of favorites. We really appreciated the owner taking into consideration the bad winter weather and allowing us to amend our stay--definitely a bonus. The Christmas tree was lit, Christmas music was playing, and the water bowl was filled for Francis the miniature Schnauzer. Next time we will stay longer and make use of the well-stocked kitchen, too. Loved it!

The home was superior! First off the furniture was very very comfortable. The beds were wonderful. Including the pull out couch. Our host greeted us and shared the house's history. Plus, we were invited to see the upper unit. Top-notch all the way around.
Huge bathroom in master bedroom. Soaking tub was a true luxury.
Excellent living space in the living room. An electric fireplace added to  the quality experience. Plus a free standing wood burner!

This home is quaint and yet modern and decorated very tastefully. The bathrooms are amazing!! Bed was super comfy and location was perfect - just a short walk to downtown Port Washington and the beautiful harbor. It was nice walking to see the sun rise over Lake Michigan. We found the local people to all be very kind and friendly. Dave was very easy to communicate with even while he was out of the country. He checked in with us to make sure all was well or if we needed anything. I highly recommend staying here and look forward to staying again. So happy to find such a great place where our 2 yorkies were welcome as well.

Home Away From Home

This was the perfect getaway for my husband and me! The apartment is incredible. It is beautiful and has all the amenities that anyone could possibly need. Dave was always timely and thoughtful with his responses to questions that we had. I could easily live there! My only less than 5-star comment is that the house is located off the main road, but it wasn't noisy or anything. I just like a bit more privacy. Otherwise, 5-stars across the board! Thank you Dave!
