Beachfront holiday rental in Sturgeon Bay

We had a great time at Porch Time over Memorial Day weekend! The place is right on the lake, which made for a wonderful view. Four of us stayed with our two dogs. The cabin was clean and cozy, and it had everything we needed. The backyard is even better than the pictures—perfect for hanging out, and we loved using the kayaks to get out on the water. Mornings on the porch with coffee and evenings around the fire pit were the perfect way to relax. We ate across the street at sunset grill which was recommended by Scott and was delicious. If you’re looking for a laid-back spot to hang out on the lake, Porch Time is a great pick. We’d love to come back!

This is our second time staying here and it was just as amazing as the first time. Larry is an incredible host. So nice and accommodating. The house is gorgeous with the fire pit right next to the water and the sun room. We couldn’t be more pleased.

Bayside Bear was the perfect retreat! The views are absolutely stunning—especially the sunsets, which were truly unforgettable. Nearly every room in the house offers a beautiful view of the lake, including from the hot tub, which was such a relaxing bonus. The kitchen was fully stocked and great for cooking, and we loved using the grills outside for evening meals. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged for a great stay. Thomas was a fantastic host—very responsive, helpful, and welcoming throughout our visit. We would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

We had a great time staying at the cabin. It is perfect for a lowkey getaway and the location can’t be beat. Hoping to come back again soon!

This place is beyond breathtaking and worth every penny. Not only is it a dog-friendly haven, the privacy, serenity and accessibility to the beach and sunset views is unbeatable. I highly recommend to disconnect, be present and enjoy the place - no need to leave the house. The host has plenty of in-house amenities, stocked kitchen, and a fenced in yard. We are so excited to return to this cozy cottage soon!

Views were amazing. Perfect location. Close to town yet very private.

This is a cute little house right on Lake Michigan. It was perfect for our girls weekend with plenty of room inside and outside for our group to stay together. It was a beautiful spot for coffee and sunrises by the lake in the morning and wine and sunsets in the evening. Rick was a great host. We would definitely stay here again.

Exactly the little getaway my pups and I needed. Everything was lovely. This was the first time during an airbnb stay I found myself checking the calendar during the stay to check future availability. Can't wait to go back!

An older motel, Shana did a complete interior/exterior renovation upon buying it 4 years ago. My wife was delighted by the extensive use of white in the room, including all the sheets and pillow cases on the king sized bed. Every appliance and plumbing fixture was new, too! The room was very well-decorated, and our particular room was 205, a second floor suite with a private balcony which we highly recommend. It cost more, but it was worth it!

We had the best time! We had 4 adults and 3 kids 2 and under, and we felt our toddlers were able to run around and play without there being too much they could get into (we brought our own baby gate to block the stairs) and being right off the water really enhanced the experience. It was also great to have a swing, hammock, and fireplace to use, and the side of the peninsula made it possible to watch the sunsets on the water from the porch. Very comfortable and Peggy was very responsive and helpful. Would love to stay again!

WOW!! The sunrises! This is a nice little motel, right on the water, with lots of friendly staff members and guests. It's so nice to have a continental breakfast each morning before heading out for a day of hiking the many state parks or other trails. Evenings by the firepit with other guests was lovely, we met so may nice people. You MUST get up and watch the sunrise on the beach 🌄,

Shana’s place is well kept and clean. It’s located beachfront and has very nice views. Shana is very quick to reply and accommodated us in short notice. The beach fire under the stars at night was a very nice touch. Will be visiting again!

We had a great time in Bailey’s Harbor! Great little motel! Very clean, comfortable and accommodating! Great motel to stay at with a dog. Right on the lake and they left a little doggy bag with toy which was great. Dog waste stations around the property which was also helpful!

Excellent stay right on the water with great food, coffee, bars and parks all in very short walking distance. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

I have driven by this location numerous times when visiting and didn’t realize how perfect of a space this was for visiting overnight, and with a dog! The location is right in the middle of DT Baileys Harbor where everything is walkable or bike able. The room definitely has been upgraded since the pictures on the posting and was super clean. The surrounding yard and space was great to enjoy the weather and have our dog with us as well!

We booked last minute and found this wonderful place. If you want a quite little get away to listen to the waves, this is your place! Hope to go back.

Wonderful stay! There was a ton to do, everything was in great condition and working order. My husband and I were able to relax while the teenagers had fun outside with the boats and on the beach. The location was perfect. We were able to golf one morning and we enjoyed time in Menominee. Highly recommend!

The cabin was a great little getaway for our family to see the fall colors on the lake. We drove up last minute as a surprise for my husband’s birthday and Matt was very responsive & accommodating with my questions prior to booking. The cabin was in a great location and the views were stunning. I can see how it would definitely be a great place to stay in the summer with lots to do on the lake. Great for families wanting to make memories.

I would absolutely stay here again! Super clean and cozy.

BEST vacation rental we’ve ever stayed at. Exactly as described. Actually: BETTER! The accomodations were Absolutely perfect for our big crew. Something for everyone to do; and we weren’t on top of eachother! The personal touch, cleanliness, comfortable mattresses (huge deal for us), kitchen gadgets and appliances and dishes were all perfect! Can’t wait to return! Our family made very special memories here! Thank you Luke and Giza!!!

My husband, toddler, dog, and I loved our stay here. The sunsets here were so beautiful! The cottage felt like home & all the antique decor added so much charm. Check in was easy & Alexandra provided a lot of information on what to do in Door County.

All I can say is WOW. This house is even more incredible than photos could possibly capture. The love and care put into restoring this space is tremendous and it maintains the history of the building while being an incredibly welcoming and comfortable space. The house is incredibly well appointed- I rented this house for my friends to stay in when I got married locally, and we had an amazing time. The bikes and kayaks were put to very good use (an amazing thing to have available for guests!). Two of our friends actually kayaked up to where my husband and I were staying and made a surprise visit! I cannot recommend this house, and hosts enough. Anything we needed, they were available and gracious in responding and gave us so many great local recommendations. Looking through their guestbook on the day of checkout made it clear that it's impossible to have anything but a wonderful time in this house! Thank you so much for being no small part of what was a perfect wedding weekend!

This place was so well stocked, and you can’t beat the views! With the rainy days we had, the kids had plenty to entertain themselves with in the house. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay!

Great place for a weekend getaway. Clean and cozy with a beautiful view of the lake. Great communication and attention to detail by Freshwater. Would book again.
