Beach Home on McCarty's Cove!\nWalk out your home right onto the beach!
About this house rental
Situated in Marquette, this lovely house for $295 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Thanks for checking out our beach home! This home is on Lake Superior in one of Marquette's most remarkable locations. It is one of only two privately owned homes that are on the beach and yet still in town, where you can park your car and walk to everything. With wide, sweeping vistas of Lake Superior and the Marquette lighthouse, this home is literally steps to McCarty's Cove, a family friendly beach noted in USA Today’s “Best Small Towns for Adventure”. This home is near it all and away from it all, all at once! From your home you can walk the beach with your morning coffee and watch the sun rise, then in the afternoon you can watch your children wriggle their toes in the clean Lake Superior sand and splash in its crystal clear waters. Come evening you can enjoy a meal and glass of wine while listening to the sound of the waves. Walking into the home you are welcomed by an open kitchen surrounded by tall windows offering a 180 degree view of Lake Superior. There is a sun room open to the kitchen that provides a place to relax and take in the sights of the lake, McCarty’s Cove, and the Marquette Lighthouse. The first floor includes a dining room, a living room with a gas fireplace, a bathroom with a washer and dryer, and a bunkbed room. Upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms, a bathroom and a sun room with floor to ceiling windows ideal for watching 1000 foot freighters glide by on Lake Superior. This home sleeps nine people and includes one master bedroom with a king sized bed, one bedroom with a queen sized bed, a second story sun room with a day bed, a first floor bunk bed room, and a queen size pull out couch in the living room. The home is well-appointed with a kitchen stocked with plenty of cookware, plates, glasses, and utensils. The bedrooms have comfortable linens and down comforters. The home has two bathrooms with an ample supply of towels. The home also includes WiFi and a television in the living room with Netflix. Outside the home is a large deck with an outdoor dining set and outdoor seating perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine while watching the waves roll onto the beach. This is a four seasons home with a cool lake breeze providing air conditioning in the summer while protecting you late into the fall while you watch gale winds whip the waves into a frenzy from the comfort of your home. The home will keep you cozy during a U.P. winter storm and provide you a front row seat in the spring when the ice on the lake breaks up and ice bergs bob in the water. If your ideal vacation involved parking the car for a week, you won't be disappointed. The city bike path is right in front of the home and you are walking distance to both the downtown and Third Street Village shops, restaurants, coffee houses, and brew pubs and within biking distance to Presque Isle Park. If adventure is on your list, you're just a short drive to waterfalls, vistas, and hiking, biking and running trails suited to any level of difficulty you desire. Please feel free to contact us so we can answer any questions you may have about the home or Marquette. We are locals and live just blocks away and are happy to help you make the most of your stay!

We had a great visit for Christmas and New Year's. Great location, and fabulous view. Water was a bit chilly for our New Year's day polar plunge :-)

Fantastic home with all the amenities you could need! We felt welcomed warmly with the lights being left on for us as well as a wonderful greeting on the chalkboard. And their welcome gift basket was an over the top touch we all enjoyed. I could see this spot being super busy in summer, but our stay off peak kept it quiet and feeling like we had the whole beach to ourselves. Awesome stay!

We had debated about trying a VRBO, but were elated we did. The home was clean with beautiful views or Lake Superior. Sandwiched between downtown and campus it was perfect for us. We enjoyed just sitting and relaxing as well as the ne hobby of looking for sea glass.
All in all a great experience provided by Greg and Kate. Thank you both. Hope to be back soon!

Friends from the west coast came to visit and reminisce over college memories (55 years ago!), life journeys and all that happens in between. This home on the shore of Lake Superior offered gorgeous views of sunsets, quiet waves and sand, and inside was comfy and convenient in so many ways. Easy access to the bike path, downtown, restaurants and shopping, and the perfect place for our reunion. We loved it!

Great location - could use some updating. More kitchen supplies and a cleaner couch. We loved the location!

The property is breathtaking! Stairs leading down to the beach, a park next door for kids, and a walking path to downtown makes everything in Marquette accessible. The stairs leading to upstairs bedrooms are a bit treachorous as it is an older home, so I would not suggest for those with poor balance/trouble walking. Otherwise, beds are very comfy, the kitchen views are amazing, and the fire pit is perfect.
For any disc golfers, I highly recommend you check out the local disc golf courses they are phenomenal!
The local restaurants also have good coffee, great beer, and even better food (Get the cajun Whitefish at Vierling)!

The house has fantastic views of Lake Superior, the light house , big ships and the Oar Dock.
There are numerous sitting areas inside the house, on the deck and in the backyard as well as beach from where you can enjoy the view.
On a nice day you can sit at the picnic table enjoy a meal and look at the beach and light house. On a stormy day you can curl up by the gas fireplace and watch Lake Superior's powerful waves from the picture window.
The bike/walking path is near by and you can easily walk into downtown and shop or eat a meal.
The home is nicely decorated and clean. It is a place you can easly relax and feel at home.
We love this place so much that this was our second visit.

This was the nicest vacation property that we've ever stayed at. The hosts thought of every detail and the house was just beautiful overlooking McCarty Beach.

This is our family’s favorite place to stay when we visit the Marquette area. The beach house has everything we want + need for a great vacation on Lake Superior. It provides beautiful views of the lake, is super cozy, and makes you feel right at home as soon as you walk through the door. We especially love having the lake just steps away…it’s such a treat being able to start + end each day with a beach walk! This year we had the added treat of viewing the northern lights!!… right in the backyard! So cool! Greg and Kate made sure to let us know about the chance to see them! Awesome hosts…as always! Thank you…once again!

We frequent Marquette but this was our first time staying at the East Side Beach House and we will definitely be back. Natural light fills the home through the many windows that also provide captivating views of Lake Superior. The location is ideal and Kate and Greg are remarkable hosts!

Location, location, location. A perfect location to decompress. Sunrise over the lake, the trail right out the door, and easy access to downtown and 3rd Street.

Perfect location! Spectacular views! The owners were wonderful and the check in process and communication was easy! This property will leave you refreshed and wanting to come back. Close to downtown, the bike path and the lake is at your back door! The house was super clean, extremely comfortable and cozy with the fireplace! The view from the kitchen is unbelievable! I highly recommend this property! And we found beach glass in March!!! Everything was exactly as listed! I hope to come back again this time for a summer visit!

This was our third time staying at the East Side Beach House during our younger kids' spring break and, true to form, the location continues to be equal parts relaxing and energizing.
Two years ago, in mid-March Marquette was 70 and sunny and we walked barefoot on the beach. This year, we had gale-force winds and a major winter storm. We spent hours on the second floor watching the waves crash into, and quickly erode, the ice mounds along the beach. Lake Superior's fury amidst white-out conditions was an absolute delight to behold. Of course, it helps to do so from inside a snug, comfortable home whilst sipping the tasty coffee provided by our gracious hosts.
We continue to appreciate the airy brightness of the kitchen, the coziness of the living room, the thoughtful selection of books to sample, and the walking distance proximity to many of our favorite places such as the Crib. The home was also an ideal place to host a game night for our NMU-attending kiddo and friends.
If you're looking for a place to immediately feel at home while on vacation, don't hesitate. This place is magical.

This is the first house I have taken my mother to that she was pleased with. So pleased, in fact, that we have already rebooked for next year. The views are breathtaking and the proximity to town is soooo convenient. There is this little store across the street that EVERYTHING is from local farmers and businesses. The house was super clean and had HOT water for the shower for the whole shower. The beds are very comfortable. The owners left a welcome basket with some local goodies. If you ha e any questions they are there to help. I cant wait to go back!!!

This was the perfect home for a winter weekend in Marquette with a group of friends. Location is absolutely beautiful on the beach near the lighthouse, and an easy walk into town for food and brews. This is my new favorite Marquette vrbo, it will be the first I think of with any future stays with family or a group of friends. Thank you Greg and Katie!

Nice house, beautiful winter views. House is very comfortable, our 3rd winter visit.
Lots of foot traffic on all sides as weather warmed. House is between public beach, playground, and main bike/pedestrian path.
Especially enjoy the kitchen views, the upstairs sitting room, the cozy fireplace, modern bathrooms and uncluttered interior.

Feels like a home away from home- over our years of travel., one of my favorite rentals. Greg and Kate have thought of everything, are great people and always make us feel welcome. While I'd love to visit in the summer sometime, this is a fantastic winter oasis. Hope to return again and again.... Thank you!

Another wonderful stay at this comfortable house overlooking Lake Superior.
