Be Still & Know, Walk to Port and Beach

Peaceful, luxurious, charming, unique 1865 Cream City Brick downstairs 2 bed, 2 bath apartment. Enjoy a wood-burning stove, leather, granite, stainless steel, gas stove (air frying oven), baby grand piano, multi-spray walk-in showers with Venetian marble, and heated Spanish tile floor. Newly remodeled with all new windows, I`ve spared no expense to make this space the premier Airbnb in Port Washington. Walk to shops, eats, beaches, and the nature preserve. Handicap accessible & kid/dog-friendly.

Hi, I recently moved off-site in order to allow guests the pleasure of staying in both apartments in the beautiful home at 426/428 Grand Ave. My cohost, Janice Steck, lives nearby and is happy to assist with anything I`m unable to help with from a distance.

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!

Relaxing Weekend in Port Washington

Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us. We enjoyed being surrounded by stunning pieces of furniture, comfortable amenities, and such tasteful detail… You should be proud of what you have created here with this house. In addition, the proximity to downtown Port Washington couldn’t be any more convenient. Your hospitality, timely communications, and overall level of care was very much appreciated.

Beautiful Fall Port Washington Stay

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this amazing, recently renovated, first floor unit in the heart of Port Washington. It was a perfect blend of rustic traditional and modern chic, with original restored interior brickwork together with wood and tile heated floors, latest tech appliances, amazing multi jet showers, heated seat bidet, and many more niceties. Easy walk to the wharf area and local restaurants. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and grilling on the rear deck. Dave and Janice were very friendly and accommodating. We’ll be back!

Gorgeous home in heart of Port Washington

This home is gorgeous. Clean, spacious, comfortable beds, luxurious bathroom with rain shower big enough for 4 people, soaking tub, comfortable living room furniture, and baby grand piano in foyer. David, the host, has everything you need in this home away from home ....robes, keurig, french press, coffee, condiments, shower and bath products. And huge body towels. Lovely front porch for watching the passerby. Nice deck out back. He is a gracious host. Would definitely stay here again.

A Charming House in a Charming City

Our place was so charming and filled with unexpected amenities, that my friend and I would have been happy to stay inside during our entire stay. Each room was well-decorated and extremely comfortable. The kitchen was outfitted with everything we could need or imagine. The bathrooms are especially noteworthy -- walk-in showers with multiple showerheads. It was like being in a spa, plus the master bath had a full-size bathtub that my friend spent way too much time in. She insisted afterward it was one of the most relaxing soaks she has had in a decade. The property owner and manager were very attentive and made sure everything was as expected. Janice, the property manager was especially charming. She was a great source of information about the city of Port Washington. The location of the property is just a few blocks from the city's downtown area. It was easy to spend a couple of days enjoying the shops, taverns and restaurants that make up the downtown. To top it off, it's all on Lake Michigan. We spent an unusually warm day enjoying South Beach -- a beautiful, long stretch just a few blocks south of downtown. It's a great place to stay.

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.
