Home Port Vacation Escape, Luxury Historic Home, Walk to Port, Beach, Shops

A Warm Wisconsin Welcome to Home Port Vacation Escape, your luxury historic vacation home! This charming, 1865 Cream City Brick charmer is just 4 blocks from Lake Michigan & downtown Port. Home Port combines two apartments into one.

We all know how frustrating it is to arrive at a rental and discover missing basics—like no coffee filters, a dull knife, or no laundry soap. That’s why I’ve gone the extra mile to make your stay at Home Port Vacation Escapes truly exceptional.

You’ll find a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook and enjoy meals like home (sharp knives, quality cookware, spices, coffee, a coffee maker, and all the little extras). Contactless smart-lock entry makes arrival effortless. The washer and dryer are ready whenever you need them, with free plant-based laundry soap provided.

Every detail here is thoughtfully chosen to pamper you, reduce stress, and help you relax and enjoy Port Washington to the fullest. This century-old gem has been transformed into a jaw-dropping luxury retreat that’ll have you grinning wider than a pirate with a treasure map. Whether you’re here to work, play, splash, fish, shop, or just live your best “all-of-the-above” life, we’ve got the magic to make your heart do a happy dance!

Why You’ll Be Obsessed with This Coastal Dreamland:
Buckle up for a tidal wave of awesomeness that’ll make you never want to leave:
Cozy Up Like a Boss by the wood-burning stove—think crackling fires and marshmallow-roasting vibes.

Fur Babies & Tiny Humans? YAS! Our dog- and kid-friendly haven rolls out the red carpet for your whole crew.

Starry Nights, Firetable Delights—Gather your squad (up to six pals!) for epic deck hangouts under a twinkling sky.

Spa Goals Unlocked—Slip into multi-jet showers, Venetian marble, and a soaking tub so luxurious, you’ll forget the world exists.

Wi-Fi That Zooms—Stream, Zoom, or meme to your heart’s content with blazing-fast internet.

Chef Mode: Activated—Whip up gourmet masterpieces in a kitchen packed with air-fryers, high-end cookware, and all the gadgets your foodie soul craves.

Grill & Chill—Fire up the deck’s mega grill and become the BBQ hero you were born to be.

Adventure’s Doorstep—Stroll to downtown, the Marina, beaches, or make a splash at Pirate’s Hollow Waterpark.

Hassle-Free Vibes—Free parking and slick self-check-in mean you’re living the good life from the moment you arrive.

Binge-Watch Bonanza—Two giant TVs beg for movie marathons or game-day glory.

Eco-Chic Laundry—Two free washers and dryers with plant-based soaps keep you fresh and green.

Climate Perfection—Stay cool with AC in summer or toasty with radiators in winter.

Access for All—Our lower apartment is fully handicap-friendly, because everyone deserves a slice of paradise.

Royal Retreat Downstairs: Live Like Vacation Royalty
Sink into a King wrought-iron canopy bed or a Queen sleigh bed that screams “treat yo’self.” Got extra guests? The memory foam pull-out sofa has you covered. Warm your toes on heated Spanish tile floors and tickle the ivories on a baby grand piano for that extra fancy vibe.

Bohemian Paradise Upstairs: Your Artsy Escape
Float into a bright, airy wonderland dripping with European antiques, Persian rugs, and original art. Cozy nooks, fort-like kids’ beds, and clever workspaces make this the perfect blend of charm and “I never want to leave.”

Outdoor Enchantment: Make Every Moment Sparkle
Summer and fall nights come alive with s’mores by the backyard firepit or BBQ feasts on the deck. Trust us, your Instagram feed will thank you.

Prime Location for Epic Explorations
Strut to local treasures like Sauk Creek Nature Preserve or take a quick drive to Lion’s Den Gorge or Cedarburg’s cultural charm. Milwaukee’s buzz to the south or Sheboygan/Kohler’s flair to the north? Both are just a scenic jaunt away.

Your Host, Your VIP Hype Squad
Our 5-star-rated host isn’t just here to hand you the keys—they’re your personal cheerleader, ensuring every moment sparkles with unforgettable magic.

Great place

We rented the whole house for my mom’s 70th and it was just perfect. Just a short walk to the down town area. The fire table outside was a huge hit as well.

Beautiful place

Beautiful place in a great location. Restaurants and shopping was a short walk away. The place had a full kitchen. It was great to have the upstairs and downstairs space. If you are a quiet sleeper, I'd recommend the upstairs space. Downstairs you can hear the people walking around upstairs so if they aren't in the same schedule as you it could be distracting if you are a light sleeper.
