A++ property We decided to take an impromptu trip and stumbled upon this listing in Racine. It was a town that we hadn’t heard of, but after a quick google search, decided to give it a go. We’re so glad we did!!! First off, the property was absolutely lovely and the host went truly above and beyond with exceptional touches!! The close proximity to many attractions was what drew us to this place and it was so wonderful being able to walk a couple of blocks to the beautiful shoreline (with a European feel). We walked to an outdoor amphitheater and enjoyed a lovely concert, as well as taking our daughter to the Racine zoo, which we actually preferred over the Milwaukee zoo. The city is nicely situated between Milwaukee and Kenosha. We even drove 45 minutes down to Illinois Beach State Park and enjoyed some great exploring. As for the property itself, it was immaculate and charming as can be! The bedrooms were spacious with many available sleeping arrangements. The living area was cozy and homey, which made for a great place for our family to come back to and watch a movie. The bathroom was one of the nicest I’ve seen through a rental marketplace. The host was incredibly communicative and SO helpful throughout our week stay! She recommended many fun local activities, excellent restaurants, etc.! We felt very at home and welcomed. I can’t say enough complimentary things about this lovely rental and the city of Racine. Thank you, we hope to come back soon!!! ##### Chelsea G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rod Darci H. 27 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Marine Wedding Stay ![All the Marines/groomsmen](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/81832510-800a-4c53-9ade-db2fe3843f99-1751044606586.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Lighthouse off Racine](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/97257d4f-8b7a-4352-aebb-0ee96138ba8d-1751044603041.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rod Darci H.
