Hello! Happy June!
For our loyal customers, we are very sorry that you didn’t get a postcard this year! We didn’t know about them (excuses, excuses), but we will be sure to get them sent out next year!
So far this year we have been learning (and doing) a lot! Half of the rooms have been updated/refreshed. The reviews so far have been positive, but we do get requests to leave some rooms with the “Classic” look. The 3 king rooms with reclining sofas have proven very popular, so we might have to convert more rooms in the offseason!
Evy has been painting the doors and adding flower pots to spruce up the appearance from the parking lot. We are slowly working on improving signage, so you may see signs of that when you visit (pun intended). In other news, Evy gave Mark a bunch of new photos to add to the website, so he’s got to figure out how to do that pretty soon!
The marina is looking a lot better after some recent repairs and is now ready for our seasonal renters. We will be adding signage for transitional renters as we’ve found out that people like to dock their boats and go to eat at the Shoreline Restaurant or to do some shopping.
Some recent challenges: (oh, the joys of owning a business)
- Our main phone stopped working recently due to a service outage! We have a cellphone that we use, so that number has been posted on the website as of today (June 7).
- We lost the majority of our housekeeping staff when their car broke down on a trip out of state and are unsure if they are coming back. So, we are looking for some additional part-time housekeepers! Spread the word!
Even though there have been some challenges (learning opportunities), we both LOVE being here at the Shoreline Resort and we LOVE meeting all of you!

Hello!
We have been busy getting rooms ready for the new season! About half of the rooms will be remodeled with new paint schemes. I know that some of you love the traditional sunny bright yellow accent walls and half of the rooms still have that color scheme this year. But prepare yourself for some new colors in the other rooms. Evy is very creative and likes to make each room unique!
We are moving our office / living space to room 107 this year. I apologize in advance for those of you who love this room and book it every year. I hope you try out a new room. Each room has its own unique view of the water and that gorgeous sunset.
Evy has unblocked rooms as we get them completed, but if you search online and don’t find availability, give us a call and we can figure out if we can accommodate you. If you are in the area and just want to stop by and say hi, please do so. Give us a call so we can come out and meet you. It’s a small motel – only 14 rooms, but we can’t find each other half the time when we are busy working. If you stop by, you may indeed hear Mark outside yelling “Hey Evy! Where are you?” 🙂
We will have 3 king size rooms with reclining sofas, a new dresser, and a big screen TV this year. 2 or 3 of the double queen rooms will also get new dressers and a big screen TV. We have a lot of plans in mind for ongoing and future renovations. Time and budget constraints will dictate how fast we can get them done though. Some of these are:
- New sliding glass doors to provide a clearer view of the water and sunset! (next year for sure but maybe some later this year)
- Expanded kitchenette areas for those that like to prepare their own meals! (next year for sure but maybe some later this year)
- Outside doors will receive a new fresh color (ongoing – will be done in the next month or so)
- White decks and trim will be repainted (ongoing – will be done in the next month or so)
- Bidets! (ongoing)
Marina update! The missing blocks have been dredged up and put back in place! The breakwater wall will be repaired soon. One of the finger piers was damaged by the ice chunks that flowed in and out of the marina and we are working on getting that repaired.
For those of you that love the restaurant, they will be open Tue/Wed/Thur this year.
If you will be staying with us for longer than 4 days, we can provide your room with a toaster oven / air fryer (available upon request).
We look forward to seeing you!
-Mark and Evy

Hello all! Thank you for making our first season a success! Just a reminder: We are now closed until next spring, but you can book online for 2023!
In the offseason we will be looking to update some of the rooms. 4 of the rooms will have 1 king size bed and 1 reclining sofa as well as a freshening up of the color scheme. We are also considering a number of other improvements. Feel free to email us if there is a particular change you’d like to see!

Hello all!
Nearly 1 month has passed since Evy and I became owners of the Shoreline Motel and Marina (*see note below about the Condominiums). What a wild and wonderful ride it’s been so far! We are much busier than anticipated and that’s a good thing! It’s been great meeting so many of our guests, both new and returning. I believe the returning guests outnumber new guests 2-to-1 and I can see why. The views are spectacular, and the spot is secluded and quiet.
Let us know if you would like extra coffee or towels. We are utilizing the black mailbox for some extra supplies if you run out.
Looking forward to meeting you all!
-Mark and Evy
*Note: if you’re looking for the condominiums, see website: Vacation Rental – Shoreline Village Condominiums The condominiums are currently under separate management from the motel and marina.

Hello all! We are excited to share with you that the Shoreline Motel and Marina are under new ownership as of September 15, 2022.
We believe in being involved personally. So, when you call to make a reservation, you’ll be talking to one of us! When you check in, more likely than not, we will be onsite enjoying the views just as much as you do. Currently, we have taken over room 106 as our office and living space. Knock on the door if you need anything or just to introduce yourself. We love meeting all of the people who keep coming back here every year to our little “hidden gem” on the water.
Some changes: The motel is now utilizing a mailbox located by the base of the stairs near 106. The condominiums are under separate ownership and management. Condo office number is (920)854-0195. Condo website: Vacation Rental – Shoreline Village Condominiums
We look forward to meeting you!
