Short trip during College tour/visit

Perfect size for the 3 of us Could have had 2 more kids / teens and still more than enough room. Bathroom s both good size. Bedrooms all the space you need. Nicely stocked kitchen. I would assume a good spot for spring / summer/fall to wander the area/lakefront but we of course come when it was in the single digits. Only thing I would suggest is with smart tvs either have ability to add app ( no peacock or paramount plus added and we couldnā€™t) or have all apps already avalible to sign into. With weather and playoff football the tv was a necessity and luckily we could ā€œcastā€ from phone but not ideal. Not a negative but a comment. We had a great stay

Great apartment

We needed a quick and convenient place to stay for a funeral and this apartment couldn't have been more perfect. Angela was a wonderful host responding quickly to any message and providing everything and more to make our stay comfortable. Great location allowing us to walk to the lake and restaurants. Comfortable beds and nice common area to play games after a long sad day. We will stay here again the next time we are in Racine!

Perfect Place to Stay

The property was perfect! The place was clean and cozy, super close to shopping areas, within a 10-15 minute drive to tons of things, and has an amazing view of the water from the living room window. Thereā€™s nothing about this place that we didnā€™t love. In fact, we liked it so much we stayed an extra day. It was super easy to get ahold of the property manager and she was really helpful and quick to answer - a pleasure to deal with. If weā€™re ever back in the area, Iā€™ll definitely stay here again!

a nice stay

my wife and I stayed 5 nights in September at the apartment. we thought the apartment was nice, the area safe, and the owners were very responsive and helpful. an example, we had some issues with the living room tv. i spoke with angela and she helped me get things going. several days later, a different tv issue arose, and again angela and tim responded quickly, and via our facetime discussion, discovered and solved the issue. I thought their responsiveness and interest in solving our issue very impressive. we were abit disappointed by the deck. it was smaller (and the view is mostly of the neighboring buildings) than expected from the pictures, but this didnā€™t stop me from using it every morning while drinking coffee and reading the paper. and it worked well when friends stopped by for some wine and cheese. the issue that keeps me from rating the apartment 5 stars is the tortilla ā€˜factoryā€™ located below the apartment. They start at 5:00am monday through friday. the machinery made a loud enough rumbling/grinding sound that it woke us in the morning. i guess weā€™re light enough sleepers that it bothered us while none of the other guests (via their reviews) seem to have noticed. overall, despite the morning tortilla issue, we will consider renting the apartment again should we be in the area.

Perfect spot for my friend and I to reconnect after years apart. Great location for day trips to Milwaukee or wandering along the downtown Racine corridor to check out the delightful shops.

A nice place in the middle of it all

The apartment was clean and modern. The beds were very comfortable. There is now a wall that separates the two bedrooms giving more privacy which was nice. The check in information did not include the Wi-Fi password which was a little disappointing, however we were not there very long in Racine to really need it. We were busy shopping and walking to Lake Michigan to really have time to ask. Overall a really great place in the heart of the town:)

Stay at Waves

My husband and I brought our two boys (18y and 13y) and our dog for a short getaway and stayed at Angelaā€™s apartment, Waves, in Racine. We had a great time. Itā€™s literally a few minutes away from the lake front where there is a nice trail right by the water and from Downtown where there are a number of great restaurants. The apartment is well maintained. Angela was highly responsive. Definitely a 5-star!
