We had a great stay for our first time in Door County. The amount of space was perfect for our family of 5 and we really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The location was close to town and we would stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay. The property was in a great location: close to peninsula state park, and a little off the busy road. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. The pool and hot tub were great!
The condo worked well for our needs. Pool and hot tub were nice. Just know, there was no oil or salt and pepper or things like that so plan accordingly. Nice place!
This location is a very nice location. It had absolutely everything you need and it was very comfortable for four adults. My husband and I stayed here with our adult daughters for my daughters wedding in Door county. The location was perfect with restaurants and close to all the parks. The only part that I did not care about was booking with VRBO all the fees associated with it doubled the price of what it would’ve been if I would’ve booked individually. This was the first time I use Vrbo and this will be the last time I use Vrbo and we stay in Door county probably twice a year for well over 10 years
We really enjoyed our visit! It was nice to have our own little condo to stay in and the grounds were lush green. The unit was just as pictured/described, except for the fact that the fireplace wasn't working (disappointing!) and it took a little communication to actually confirm that fact. We found everything we needed for cooking, etc. Hide-a-bed was not amazing comfort but the twin roll away mattress was nice and thick! (Also note that the cord for the kitchen sink light might be in the cupboard and it's a touch switch - turning that on was a mystery for us at first!) The location offered a nice balance between a secluded feel yet convenient access to attractions. We even found a new mini golf course we enjoyed not far up the street! Thanks so much -
Our second trip to Fish Creek did not disappoint! This property is in a great location, clean, roomy enough for 4 of us, nice sized pool and hot tub and has access to laundry near the pool. No doubt we will be back!
Good Location in Fish Creek and close to Peninsula state park. Condo was spacious with all essential amenities. Check in process is easy! Would stay here again.
The location of the condo was perfect. Easy to walk and bike to the state park, restaurants and shops. We loved that it had a pool and the neighborhood was so quiet which we appreciated. It was the most relaxed I have felt in a long time.
We enjoyed our stay in this comfy and clean townhome. We enjoyed the nice mattresses and extra blankets and pillows. We liked reading by the electric fireplace in the evening. This was conveniently close to shopping in Fish Creek and Peninsula State Park where we took our 16 yr old daughter to do training runs for XC post-season!
We visited busy bee condo with our 4 year old son and another couple and their 12 year old daughter. Busy bee worked out great for us. It was very comfy and clean. The owners thought of everything you might need in the kitchen as well as fans, power strips, plenty of towels, a few pool toys and more. Close enough to Fish Creek that you could walk and the pool area was great. Would stay here again.

Issues we had were dirty, kitchen floor, no Kleenex, limited toilet paper, limited amenities as far as basics for any type of cooking.Upstairs bedroom had only one source of light which was covered with a blind that was closed and did not work. We contacted The property manager the first day we arrived and we never heard back. We went our whole stay with no light source in that one bedroom. The TVs were difficult to work - the main TV was fine for streaming, but we do not stream. I would just rate this Unit as OK.
We have stayed in Door County three times. The first time in Egg Harbor which is at the south end of the tourist area. The second is at Ellison Bay which is at the north end. This property is in Fish Creek which is more centrally located.
My wife and I are hikers. Every morning we would walk to the State Park for our daily walk which was convenient and free. The drive to any restaurant was just a few minutes.
The condo is well set up. There are little touches that help your stay such as individual wire baskets to put your toiletries in to take when you shower. The internet is robust. The only defect is that there is no washer and dryer in the condo. It's shared and a few steps away.
However, I would recommend this unit.
