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!

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!

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!

We loved our stay at the Urban Beachcomber. The house is clean, nicely decorated and has everything that you need. The rooms in the basement are surprisingly warm and dry (not what I imagined). The location is great! I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Jones

Host profile image
I am originally from Negaunee MI. but have lived in Marquette since the 90's. I absolutely love the U.P. and all of its outdoor experiences. The thing I enjoy the most about hosting is being able to share my wonderful property with everyone who visits!

Why they chose this property

Marquette's East Side is loaded with historic homes (and newer builds) but the proximity to downtown and the lake are what makes this location so great!

What makes this property unique

Our property stands out amongst the rest for a number of reasons. Location, design, and a lot of traveler influence have gone into the design and setup of this vacation rental. Not to mention the attention to cleanliness I take while turning over this property is second to none.

Truth be told Im a one guy operation. From answering any booking questions to cleaning and maintenance, its all me, and I take a lot of pride in ensuring my guests a 5 star stay while here.
