Gorgeous property!

I just wish the weather had been better so we could have sat on the deck looking at Lake Superior. The house is beautiful. We were celebrating my daughter’s graduation and had a large group up. The dining table was large for family meals and plenty of space to play cards. The sauna really helped get over the chill of the rain, and yes, sleet in May; gotta love Marquette. I would absolutely rent this property again!

Perfect location for Graduation weekend stay

The Urban Beachcomber was a fantastic place for our family members to stay for a NMU graduation. The house is well appointed and had everything we needed. The view of Lake Superior was beautiful, particularly the gorgeous sunrise we witnessed. Matt, the house owner, communicated clearly and consistently throughout the booking and during our stay. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Marquette!

Wonderful Stay Marquette

We have stayed at this property several times and highly recommend it. It is very conveniently located, close to downtown and the beach at McCarty Cove. Beautiful spot for sunrises over the lake. The kitchen has everything you need for preparing meals. We enjoy movie nights and foosball in the entertainment in area. The host is very helpful and communicative. This is an excellent place to stay in Marquette.

Great location, great property!!!

Close walk to “down town” and steps to Lake Superior, could not have picked a more perfect location for our group. There were only 3 of us but house for sure can accommodate more if needed. Property owner was very on top of everything and checked in to ensure our stay was flawless. 5+ stars, we all would stay again if we find ourselves in Marquette again!

Another Fantastic Stay

This is our second time to stay at The Urban Beachcomber and it was an absolute delight again! Clean with an attention to detail, this light and airy home is exactly what we needed to celebrate and relax. The morning sunsets, easy walks to downtown and a relaxing evening talking with family makes this place perfect. If there were more than five stars, you’d have them!

Wonderful location in Marquette

My family of 4 adults enjoyed our stay in Marquette. We particularly liked the location and the well-stocked kitchen which is the main reason we choose rentals over hotels. Having bedrooms on three different floors was ideal to provide everyone privacy. We did run into an issue in the basement with an unpleasant sewage smell, but it was most likely due to weather. We did contact the owner and were very pleased with all the communication before and during our stay.

Great spot for a family getaway

Matt’s place was a perfect fit for our two families. The downstairs level with a bedroom, bathroom, and entertainment room was perfect for a second family to have some privacy. The location was great, would love to come back in the summer to take advantage of the easy beach access! We were especially impressed with the well-stocked kitchen. Highly recommend this property!

This house was simply wonderful. And probably the cleanest place I have ever stayed. Lots of room, very nicely remodeled, a HOT sauna that was amazing and close to everything. You can see Lake Superior from the window and its right on a bike trail. The over is amazing as well. We will be back!
