Beautiful home

This is a very nice, clean home with an exceptional location and a very attentive owner. The mattresses are quite firm, but the host was nice enough to provide a mattress topper, which did help some. Great place to stay overall!

Best short term rental I've ever stayed in

Fantastic long weekend in Manitowoc. It is hard to imagine a better spot nearby. Truly steps from the lake, can sit on the porch and watch the sunrise. Beautiful, clean, and with anything you might need for your stay. The owners were easy to reach and very friendly and accommodating.

We enjoyed our week-long stay at The Shoreline. Very clean and located in a convenient location near Lake Michigan in Manitowoc. Quiet neighborhood. Having a garage was a big plus to keep our bikes. Would stay here again if we are ever back in the area.

We felt right at home

This property a few hundred feet from the lake, with easy access to the walk/bike path and a short drive from the Maritime Museum, ferry dock, and other attractions. We were there for the Maritime Marathon and it was wonderful to have a nicely-appointed kitchen and two showers. Every time we thought of something we needed but hadn’t packed, we found it on site. We arrived late and appreciated the snack basket and bottle of wine left to welcome us to the property. If we are ever in the area again, we would love to stay here.

Beyond Nice!

Great location and amazingly clean home! Host has thought of everything from toothpicks to nightlights to home instructions. I always overpack "just in case", but didn't need any of it. So much thought has gone into every single detail. Beautiful spacious duplex with a garage to park in and a view of Lake Michigan from the driveway. Loved being only 3 homes from the walking path and able to enjoy long walks, the sunrise over the lake, and the lighthouse. About a 20 minute walk to the downtown area and museum. It's more than expected and you won't be disappointed!

Beautiful clean home

My husband, 9 month old, mother in law, and myself booked the shoreline for a vacation to visit family in the area. We were so happy to find out the property was less than a 3 miles drive! The shoreline was the perfect home away from home. Janet checked in on us during our stay and even provided a welcome basket and shared some favorite restaurants and attractions in the area! We look forward to booking the shoreline again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Greg and Janet Gottsacker

Host profile image
Our last name is Gottsacker and in german it loosely translates to "God's Acre".
So we are naturally drawn to land and homes! With that being said, we have used VRBO quite often with 4 grown children living in 4 different locations throughout the world and we felt compelled to offer a property of our own. We also are in the Real Estate trade of listing & selling homes as well as Real Estate development and general contracting. We have a passion about hospitality and hope that your stay at "The Shoreline" will reflect that passion.

Why they chose this property

We purchased a parcel of land in Manitowoc, home of the former "Fricke" brick yard. After the brick yard business exited, the land became an overgrown piece of property with long grasses, & unkept trees and shrubs leading down to the Little Manitowoc River. We saw the potential in this land jewel situated above the river and giving us glorious lake views. So we developed a large portion of the land on Hawthorne Ct. into a condominium development and the lot on Cleveland Ave. is our investment property with a long term renter on one side and short term renters at The Shoreline, 134 Cleveland Ave.

What makes this property unique

134 Cleveland Ave. aka The Shoreline has such a great location in Manitowoc. Steps away from Lake Michigan and walking distance to downtown with shops & restaurants. Manitowoc sees the beauty of our lakeshore and it seems that new businesses are popping up every year to take advantage of this great destination!
