Beach Home on McCarty's Cove! Walk out your home right onto the beach!

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!

Everything you could ask for
The house is in the perfect location for anyone who wants to stay active or who wants to lay low in the house/on the beach(or flip flop to either depending on the day). Our trip included sea glass hunting every day, swimming on hot calm days, a lighting storm over the water, beautiful sunrises, exploring town and Presque Isle and even watching surfers ride the crashing waves. (Which really was amazing to watch both from the beach and the comfort of the house) The house has everything you need and the beds are amazingly comfortable and perfect for a good nights’ sleep after a long day of doing everything or doing nothing at all. We can’t wait to come back again!

House sits on one of Lake Superior’s most beautiful and user-friendly beaches. (Too bad for you rock hounds but heaven for walkers, swimmers, children and volleyball players!) Proximity to town, mult-use path, parks, bike shop unmatched. Back of house, facing beach, filled with light and views. House is an eclectic mix of rooms-as one would expect from its 100 years plus age. Lots of charm. Owners responsive to communication.

Great Home with stunning views
Greg & Kate’s home in MQT is wonderful. The home was clean and we were immediately greeted with a welcome basket and a note on their chalkboard. This is our 6th summer up to MQT, and their home is a favorite spot thus far. The location is great to walk to downtown- and a quick drive to Presque Isle. But the view of Lake Superior is something spectacular. The sunrise each morning was beautiful. If we lived here I’d park myself in the kitchen 24/7 for the view. Do yourselves a favor and book this cozy home in a great spot! Thanks for the stay!

Amazing Beach Cottage
This is a great place for a small family or a group of friends to gather on the Marquette shore. The house itself is has modern updates but still keeps those beach cottage vibes. There is a nice mix of open spaces for the whole group to gather and niches for alone time. There is not a better location in Marquette, right on beach and bike trail with most of the town just a short walk away. The hosts were very professional and easy to work with.
