Amazing time in sturgeon Bay!!!

The property is accurately listed. Just a quaint cottage on the lake Michigan shoreline! The bathroom is VERY small so for someone with mobility issues this may cause a problem but it works. With this property all I have to say is location, location, location we spent every morning out watching the sunrise on the beach, going for long walks with our dogs along the coastline, and evenings having fires or relaxing having a movie in the house (satalite tv was another option). Downtown sturgeon bay is just a 15 min drive with many local parks, canal nature preserve is within walking or a short drive, and the furthest attractions are less than a 50 min drive from the house so this place is awesome when it comes to being a great location! We will be coming back thank you to everyone for an awesome stay!

Great view nice home. Clem and coxy

House was very clean and had a great view from living room to lake. had no issues and enjoyed our stay. As in previous reviews, yes the bathroom was small but not a big issue. We were a little taken back by the security deposit requirements not given until after booking. We have booked many places with VRBO and never had to take a $150.00 insurance policy for security to cover damage(non refundable). the only other option was to have a excessive hold on card of $5000.00 deposit which could be deducted from at owners discretion. This should be posted before you accept $$ for a non refundable booking. Poor business policy! also covid rules still in place. need to bring own towels/sheets/ blankets/pillow cases ect. did not see that on web site.

My kids loved it, but Be prepared

Beautiful view! Lovely old-fashioned cottage. But it is not your usual Vrbo in that it is a "housekeeping" type cabin that you might find in an old-timey up north vacation (which is fine but make sure you know this in advance. The beach is great; be careful with kiddos and dogs because of the road/alley (no dashing). Very limited kitchen supplies, for example, they have a grill flipper but no grill tongues. If you use the kitchen like we did, you'll need kitchen towels/rags. There was one roll of paper towel (we left extra). The grill is charcoal, so bring charcoal. I noticed some firewood behind one of the cabins that might be there...for a beach fire ring fire. There is one bench out on the beach, which was nice. Keep the food cleaned up and packed away. There is a nice broom in the closet. Mattresses are not comfortable at all - they are like a kids-camp quality. My son is tall and ended up just curling up on the sleeper sofa as a sofa instead of using the pull-ou mattress because it was saggy, so I wished I had brought an air mattress for him. However, the range and fridge are new, with nice chairs on the front deck. The bathroom is very tiny and bare-bones (very old-time campy again). We are used to camping, so we were just fine, but it was a little different than other rentals I've had. I was happy they had some fans available. We all liked the dining/living room area and the large lake window.

This was our fourth visit to this amazing cottage, and let me just say—location, location, location! Morning beach walks and breathtaking sunrises make every moment here worthwhile. The cottage is dog-friendly, and our pups loved the beach just as much as we did.We had a couple of small issues during our stay, but our incredible host was easy to reach and had everything resolved almost immediately—truly 5-star service. We can’t wait for another summer at the beach!

The view and the beach are amazing. The house is nice, small but we spent most of our time outside. As others have said the bathroom is incredibly small and the doorway is extremely narrow. Also, sheets and towels aren’t provided, because of Covid…a little strange but we were aware beforehand.

Memorial Weekend

The cabin was what I expected. Small but comfortable. The bathroom is very small but worked out just fine. The beach was beautiful. The cabin had everything we needed. Could have used a few more beach chairs and perhaps some beach games. We brought our adult children so bag toss would have been fun or rings.

Location and dog friendly a plus

If this wasn’t a few houses down from our friend’s place, we likely wouldn’t choose to stay here again. It was relatively clean, but all the windows had dead bugs in them, the bathroom and shower stall could also use a deep clean. In the main bedroom there were smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that would blink a bright green - we had to cover them with whatever we could find to

Nice getaway

We were pleased with the property, it was just what we needed! The view was great and there was enough space for everyone. We had 2 kids, 4 adults and 1 dog. The kitchen was stocked with any tools we could have needed for preparing our own meals. The bathroom was small but it was fine for us, even at 6 months pregnant! I would definitely rent this property again, the owner was available and great to work with. The private road is great and we went during off season so it was not busy at all! We were there mid May.

Amazing lakeside retreat

Ready for a place that is truely what dreams are made of!?!? Well this is the one anyone say location location location. You are right on the beach like 50 feet out the door and you are on beautiful sandy beach wading in the waters of Lake Michigan (just a little bit of paradise)! The house is an older lakeside retreat so with that comes a SMALL bathroom and tiny bedrooms but the pros way out weight the cons when it comes to this place! Kay was amazing and I was able to reach her with any additional questions and was able to extend my stay (come on we did not want to leave)! Only thing to share with potential new visitors bring your own water even our pups did not want to drink the water (it’s well water) we just brought some then headed into town to pick up some more. Overall enjoy your stay you are close to all the door county attractions!

Beautiful location

I am writing this review not to be negative at all, I am writing it to help future guests. The cottage was small but it fit our large group of 7 (4 adults, 3 large teenage boys) just fine. We picked this area to fish and brought a large bass boat and there was absolutely nowhere to park it. Luckily our neighbors were so accommodating and let us use their space. It says it sleeps 8 but there were only 3.5 (1 broken) outside chairs, there were 3 cups in the kitchen, no can opener and could definitely use some more bowls for preparing food. There is a charcoal grill but the lid does not stay shut while cooking. Also no outside hose. We sleep with fans and brought 3 but there were plenty of fans there. Like I said, this is just to help out future guests with how to pack. The view is amazing, everyone was so nice and plenty of things to do in town.

60's Throwback

This cottage is 100% what lake cottages were, Once Upon a Time. In today's world, it's a bit like glamping. A quiet, tucked away, one-lane neighborhood street, right across from the beach, campfires at night and breathtaking sunrises in the morning: Who could want for more? I suppose someone who's expecting posh accommodations. If that's what you're looking for, keep looking. If, however, you're someone who enjoys simple, old-fashioned style lakefront stays, this place has that kind of charm. It wouldn't be a terrible idea to replace the old couch and even though the living room chairs (though they look new), none are very comfortable if there's some rainy days during your stay. That said, neither is being stuck in a tent all day. Again. 'glamping'. The bathroom is teeny-tiny, as other reviews have mentioned, but unless your grooming needs are elaborate, it does the trick for a quick shower and personal needs. For the price and the location, I've no complaints that would keep me from booking this cottage again for a quiet, lake-front getaway. To our hosts: a cheese grater and a colander to drain pasta would be useful in the kitchen. <3

The View!

Lake Michigan is literally right outside the window. The view is amazing. Walking the peaceful beach, listening to the waves as we fell asleep, examining the beautiful rocks that washed up-perfect! The place is quaint and rustic but we like that. It was clean and adequate for our needs. We were grateful to be able to bring my dog. I highly recommend the Peninsula Players, only 30 minutes away. The hiking in the state parks is wonderful. The location is perfect! We will book this place again.

Perfect getaway

My Wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon. It was everything we needed. The beach is right out in front of the house. There was a tv and a bottle of wine for us to utilize when it rained. Would definitely recommend.

Great location

Great view, but the cottage needs to be deep cleaned, updated, linens added, and needs air conditioners added. It was a fun vaca spot otherwise though the deer flies are biting at this time of year. The owner is extremely nice and the location is perfect.

Mostly great trip

Location was the best part, however the pictures definitely make it feel more secluded than it is. There are neighbors very close both directions. This property needs a rake because there a lot of dead small fish that wash up and the beach is unusable until it's cleaned off. We had to use beach toys we brought with us to clean off. I knew the water would be cold but it was hypothermic cold. The DVD player does not work. The fridge freezes your food depending on where you put it in the fridge...needs to be replaced. I had read reviews about the bathroom previously but it really was like a camping/camper bathroom...also needs to be updated and the shower head needs to be replaced...you can barely wash your hair. I still gave this property 4 stars because once the beach was cleaned off the kids had a blast playing on what was mostly a private beach. We had a campfire right on the beach which was one of my favorite parts of our stay. Just like most others have said, location would bring me back but would love for the property to be updated. Hosts were very accommodating as well.

The location on the beach was the best part.

This is a cute little place and the location is great being right on the beach. There was a fire pit and a few chairs for this rental on the beach too. Everyone was friendly in the neighborhood. The downstairs bedroom had a queen bed and the upstairs loft had a queen bed, twin bunk beds and another twin bed. The bathroom left much to be desired. Super small (it felt like a camper bathroom). We also had to vacuum when we got there and many things needed to be wiped down, but we brought Clorox wipes so that was easy!

Close to the Water

This was a cute little cabin with ready access to the beach & water. The one bathroom was very tiny, but it sufficed. I would return again if for no other reason than the location..

Location was everything

It was a perfect location across from beach .. house was a bit aged….. could use some updating for sure .. but it’s a cottage. Your neighbors are right in top of you.. …. The area is very quaint.. a wonderful walking beach .and the sunrises we’re worth it all we were there after school started so the beaches were quiet…
