Spacious property

My daughter and I stayed at the property for an extended weekend away. The property was very clean, and very big. I was very surprised when we walked in to see how spacious it was. The property is close enough to Milwaukee, yet not overly busy. We loved staying here!

A Nice Place to Lay Our Head to Celebrate Harley Davidson's 120th Anniversary!

This property was as listed! Clean, easy to find, secure, etc. We were in town celebrating Harley Davidson's 120th Anniversary. This property was definitely where we got the most bang for our buck! Thanks again for renting to us.

Phenomenal place in downtown Racine. Close to great restaurants (Asiana and Ole Madrid). Thoughtful extras at The Beehive such as very well stocked kitchen, full length mirrors, black out curtain, well stocked laundry room, cute decor- this list is long! We will for sure stay next time in Racine. Thanks Angela!

We absolutely loved this property, great host. Timely responses to any messages. Perfect for a getaway in a small Wisconsin town near the lake. Walked out to the pier each day.Decorating and theming of the place is top notch loved all of “the hive” themed things.Very clean place, comfortable beds, great shower/bathrooms. If I’m ever back in Racine this will be the first place I try to book.

Came back to see Racine where my family is originally from. We wanted a place as close to the downtown area near restaurants and St. Lukes Church. This was the perfect location. Very cool vibe and very comfortable accommodations. Loved sitting on the upper roof top as sun set. Great location near really wonderful restaurants. It appears that this area of Racine is starting to get refurbished, but even with some vacant buildings around we never felt unsafe. Would stay here again if given the opportunity…hard to say goodbye to Racine. Thanks to the Hive!!!

It was newly remodeled and clean, plenty of room for 5 people. I appreciate that the kitchen was actually fully equipped to cook in-- more than just a quick breakfast like some rentals. There are also plenty of extra blankets and extra towels.

Hive perfection

The host always replied immediately and was generous with check in and check out times. The Hive is decorated to perfection- so many adorable details! We had everything we could have possibly needed… and there was ample space for siblings who want nothing to do with eachother lol. Very Comfortable beds, pull out couch, pillows and bedding. Super close to North Beach, our main reason for coming. Thank you!!

Beautiful Accommodations

This apartment/loft was wonderful. It was comfortable and clean. It was beautifully decorated with everything up-to-date. The owner was easy to work with and had great communication. My only disappointment was the location. I was hoping the downtown area was thriving with a lot of shops to walk to like we have here in the south. But, that really wasn’t the case that is unless you are into Indian Motorcycles. There was a shop to browse down the street. That looked nice. But, the apartment/loft was perfect. I would definitely recommend if you are staying in the area.
