Marina Cottage is clean, lovely and comfortable. Our time in Bailey's Harbor was wonderful. So much to do and see within walking distance. Great places to eat as well. Bailey's Harbor is centrally located to all in Door County. Ours is a 5 Star review. Thanks for sharing your home. So much better than a hotel..

Excellent Location
The rental was wonderful. The location was excellent. The house was clean, comfortable and everything we needed. The host needs to get check instructions to us much earlier. We should not be calling customer service three hours before check in while we are on the road driving.
This is a nice place! Very comfortable for 2 couples on our yearly trip to Door County. Really clean for the most part (except someone left a bunch of gross old coffee grounds in the coffee maker) and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again, thanks!
Only small issues we had were that there were no window screens in the main bathroom or the main living room, we always like to enjoy the breeze off the lake but didn't want a bunch of bugs of course. It was also a little hard to enjoy the back yard at night with the owner's security camera and EXTREMELY bright prison-yard spotlights blasting the entire back yard which you can't turn off. We've stayed at dozens of VRBO's and have never had cameras front and back watching us come and go and enjoy our vacation, just a little weird.
Had a really nice time staying in this home as a group of 8. It was nicely situated around a lot of attractions we were interested in and basically right on the water. One of the nights we made dinner and the kitchen was awesome to work in to do so.
A couple small things that could have been better were there weren't enough rolls of toilet paper or paper towels for a group this large so we had to buy our own. Additionally a nice quality of life change would be if there was firewood already stocked in the event we had chosen to have a fire (it was raining a lot though this particular weekend).
All in all a very comfortable stay though with very easy and clear instructions for check-in and check-out.
We truly enjoyed our stay. Two suggestions-we needed more info on the heating system & how to manage it. Plus, more on how to access TV channels we were interested in. That said, the house was perfect for us. The kitchen was well stocked, bedrooms/bathrooms comfortable. A great location as well.
Awesome house and great location!walking distance to many great spots in Baileys Harbor. Positing was accurate and had all the conveniences of home. Would definitely stay again!
We stayed here for the weekend and were very pleased with everything. Everything was very clean and brand new. The backyard was very nice and private. We will definitely be staying here again next year!
This home was perfect for our trip to Door County. The location is fabulous. The layout of the home is great for privacy and hanging out together. Very nice outdoor space as well. The only thing we found that was different from the listing, was there's only two single beds, not three. It worked out fine for our group. We would definately stay here again.

Very cute place however the bed was extra extra firm, we didn’t sleep very well and that was a huge downfall since we were on a vacation without our children.
This property was perfect for our group of 9 (one family of five and one family of four). Baileys Harbor is quiet but offers dining options and is close to everything Door Co has to offer. The house was newly renovated and everything is new. Great spot! We will definitely be back!
We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect—close to everything in Baileys Harbor and just a short drive to other Door County spots. A few small notes: there was a load of towels in the dryer when we arrived, no sheets on the beds, and no property guide available, so instructions for things like the fireplace would’ve been helpful. The host responded after about a day, which worked fine since nothing was urgent. The king beds were a bit firm but still comfortable and sturdy—no squeaks! Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and would definitely keep this place in mind for future visits.
Perfect Family Getaway in Bailey’s HarborWe couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our first trip to Door County Wisconsin! The cottage in Bailey’s Harbor was absolutely perfect for our family of 5. It was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was quiet and peaceful, yet close to all the charming spots we wanted to explore in Door County.The weather was a mix of warm and sunny, with some rainy and chilly days—but honestly, it added to the experience. It gave us a refreshing change from the consistently warm weather back home and made the cozy atmosphere of the cottage even more enjoyable. We especially loved the outdoor space and how comfortable the home felt from the moment we arrived. We’re already talking about coming back next year!
The house was located within walking distance to restaurants and bars which was super convenient! It was large enough for our girls trip and had a great layout. We loved the house, couldn't recommend it more!!
