About this property
Waterfront gem, sandy beach, modern kitchen, large great room, free firewood
Unique setting on Sand Bay among cedar trees and awe inspiring views! Open concept kitchen with quality appliances and large island leads into dining and "infinity" great room, overlooking the bay. Comfortable bedrooms, beautiful bathrooms, and private waterfront patio for grilling, deck for lounging, and fire pit for chilling.
45 minutes from Green Bay and 10 minutes to Sturgeon Bay.
Enjoy swimming and lounging from the property or great public beaches, golf, parks, cherry viewing/picking, hiking, biking, dining, shopping close by.
Ample room for lawn games, volleyball, roasting marshmallows over the waterfront fire pit, cooking on the gas grill, and eating on the patio. We even provide the propane for the grass grill! Garage converted to a rec room for additional sitting space and games like darts and oversized Jenga.
The water typically is warm enough for comfortable swimming in summer. Our shore is a sand and rock mix, so be sure to bring water shoes if you plan to swim. You are also welcomed to use our kayaks, stand up paddle board, and peddle boat! These items are available May - October. This area is a fishing hot spot all year round!
We have tried to make your stay as comfortable and convenient as possible. We provide a well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, all bed linens, pillows, towels, and soaps.
New, unlimited high speed internet provides fast and reliable WiFi suitable for streaming and browsing.
Head to Sturgeon Bay and don't miss the Saturday morning Farmer's Market in summer! Throughout the year, you can stroll through downtown and enjoy great shopping, food, and drinks. Be sure to walk across the steel bridge and enjoy the great views of nature, yachts, industry, and the wonderful collection of people that live in and visit this special place.
Viewing the North Pierhead lighthouse by walking out on the break wall jutting into Lake Michigan on the north side of the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal can make for a memorable experience and should not be missed. This may be the more photogenic place in all of Door County!
Don't miss Potawatomi State Park if you are looking for mountain biking, a boat launch, an invigorating hike (Hemlock Trail) or a challenging ski when there is snow.
Looking for a beach? Head to Haines County Park, just a mile away. The sand, sun, and water can not be beat here. This is a real Door County treasure!
Of course, you can always head north of Sturgeon Bay if you are looking for more shopping, dining, hiking, and beautiful shorelines.
Looking for additional space? Check out our other waterfront house 3 miles away on the shore of Little Sturgeon Bay! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is new and offers incredible amenities including a large covered porch that spans the entire length of the house and overlooks the waterfront, large yard, and awe inspiring sunsets. The property ID 2693816 and it's named Porch Time on Lil Sturgeon Bay.

Very nice place with beautiful lake very. Exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly surprised with the beautiful weather this time of year. We even got out in the kayaks!
My Family and I had a wonderful time kayaking, hanging out with nature and sitting around the fire at night.Say a beautful young bald Eagle perched in the tree right outside the back door. The white pelicans were a suprise and intersting to watch.A Great Stay
This was our first family vacation in a long time. We came to Door County to spend a long weekend. We enjoyed the local places during the days, and had fabulous evenings at this home. It was such a perfect place for us all. We enjoyed sunsets by the water.
Stayed here for 4 nights with my family (2 small kids - 3 and 5 years old) and dog, we had an amazing time. Waterfront property was excellent and bedrooms/bathrooms were perfect for the family. Would recommend for anyone staying with a family/small kids.

Door County Stay
Owner was great, the cleaning crew needs to do better.
My husband and I enjoyed our second time visiting Door County. The home is spacious and comfortable with plenty of amenities if you’re bringing the whole family!
The weather was perfect! The house was so very clean and nice. Scott was great to work with. Great location, the other towns were nice but to busy. would come again.
We throughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The home was clean and had all the amendities that one would need to spend vacation time. There is a beautiful view of the lake with shore access. Great area for having a campfire. Would recommend this property to anyone.
We loved our stay at this gorgeous home! There were 5 adults and we all felt comfortable and at home. The view is so incredibly peaceful, the beds are comfortable, and the location is perfect. I hope to be back!!
Location was beautiful and quiet. House had plenty of room for 7 women. We loved the island for gathering to munch on goodies and talk. Enjoyed sitting outside enjoying the view.
We had the best week here! The waterfront access was perfect and the outdoor space was fantastic. We spent the week paddle boarding and kayaking, having s’mores, playing yard games. The house was clean and very well stocked with plenty of kitchen tools and gadgets that made it very easy for us to cook all of our meals there.I would highly suggest this property if looking for somewhere to stay in the area!
House was nice, check in was easy. The house is as advertised on the lake. The kayaks were a lot of fun. They are not kidding about the firewood.... there is a LOT there.
We had a great second vacation with our kids to Scott’s property! The house is cozy but also had plenty of space for our 4 adults and 3 kids (3, 5, and 7). The kids especially liked how far you could wade out without needing to know how to swim well. We really enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board. The sunset over the water is so special - as is the fact that one whole side of the property is undeveloped. It was a fun and memorable trip!
House for a family of 8 was perfect. Lots of open living space to congregate in. A fully stocked kitchen was very nice.
Views of the water were stunning. Plenty of bird watching to be had.
Lots of onsite activities to keep you occupied.
We drove to the Washington island ferry which was 1 hr 20 minutes so the location was a great home base.
The check in and checkout was very easy.
We had a good stay while attending our daughter's wedding in Sturgeon Bay. Although there was more rain than we expected for August, the thunderstorms were spectacular to watch over the water and Scott was great about checking on us after the power outage.
A work delivery brought us to the area, so we decided to take the family & make a short trip out of it. The location was quiet, safe & along a beautiful strip of sandy beach cottages. The hosts provided excellent communication. The home itself has an ideal layout, not to mention GORGEOUS Bay windows facing West! The sunset was spectacular & the swimming was nothing short of therapeutic for all of us. Looking forward to coming back!!
Property was the perfect getaway! Loved being right on the water. Fun water toys and lawn games. House was comfortable with beautiful views from kitchen and table. It was also well stocked with most of the necessities! Scott was very responsive to any questions about property and general area (our first time in Door County). Would definitely recommend!
