Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin
The “Door County Beach Home” is ON THE WATER and borders the Whitefish Dunes State Park. The beach is only 40 feet from the home and has water views from ALL rooms. So close to Lake Michigan, when looking out the windows it looks like you are looking through a magnifying glass. As you look out the large picture windows, you will see the waves rolling onto the beach. The home is surrounded by beautiful white birch trees, assorted evergreen trees, sand dunes and a variety of wildlife including birds and whitetail deer. Our entire lot is sand making it “the largest sandbox” you have ever seen!
With 165 Feet of Private beachfront and the last home on the drive (dead end), It is the most secluded beachfront home in all of Door County. This secluded getaway is situated on one of the only few bays in Door County that has all sand on the beach and in the water, making it great for the little ones to play in and build sand castles. The water is crystal clear.
The home is built on the border of the 1000 acre Whitefish Dunes State Park. You can enter the state park right out our front door. Our home is on the “backside” of the state park, meaning anyone else visiting the State Park needs to park and enter 2 miles to the north of our home!
This 3000 Square Foot Custom Built Home (completely rebuilt, except for one wall, in 2001) has tons of big windows and skylights.
Home Details:
Beds for up to 12 people and 2.5 baths - king size beds in two bedrooms: Master bedroom w/master bath has a king size bed, custom built in dressers and walk in closet.

7 Spectacular Scenic Wonders of Door County
By Amy Bayer Last Updated: 8/14/2020
There’s no place in Wisconsin quite like Door County. Known as the “Cape Cod of the Midwest” and beloved by travelers, it’s a place where days are spent by the water and nights end around the bonfire. It’s where to go for a barefoot, carefree, anything goes sort of vacation, where you can wake up to nature - birds chirping, waves crashing - and go to sleep under the stars. It’s the kind of place you want to be in the summer.
A highlight of any trip to Door County is exploring some of the spectacular wonders nature has forged into the peninsula’s unique landscape. From sea caves to sand dunes, a trek around Door County is enough to spark anyone’s inner adventurer. So go ahead, travel off the beaten path and discover what’s out there - you’ll be glad you did!
1. Cave Point County Park
As a county park, Cave Point is often overlooked by those traveling to Door County each year. However, this natural gem along the eastern shore is absolutely worth the trip.
The wind and waves from Lake Michigan have worn away limestone cliffs to create underwater caves. On stormy days, the sound of waves crashing into the cliffs is thunderous, and the spray can shoot up to 20 feet in the air.
The view from the top is breathtaking as you watch the water splash and swirl beneath you; however, there is no railing so keep a careful eye on the kids. Depending on the weather and the tide, visitors can climb down to the water's edge.
7. Whitefish Dunes State Park & State Natural Area
Adjacent to Cave Point County Park, Whitefish preserves (over a 1000 acres) the largest and most significant sand dunes in Wisconsin. Check out "Old Baldy," which rises 93 feet above lake level and is the highest sand dune in the state. Stroll along the sandy lakefront or hike 14.5 miles of trails, including a boardwalk through the wetlands. Be sure to visit the park's nature center, which is open year-round, to learn more about this stunning area.

This is a very special place! The clear water with its sandy shore, the location next to Whitefish Dunes State Park, a wood-burning fireplace and a home with everything for both kids and adults! Late October windy, rainy weather brought thrilling waves, while in milder weather there were gentle ripples on the water. Beautiful sunrises, and a great view of the stars at night.
Beautiful property! Perfect for out family gathering/celebration. Recommend bringing your own linens.
A group of us decided to explore Door County. We found this place and we’re attracted by the water and privacy it provided. It is right next to wildlife park with walking trails. We went kayaking, shopping, played board games, cooked, and ate at great restaurants!
My family and I really loved our stay!
Second time staying at this house. Great beach and the Lake is fantastic with its very gradual and sandy depth. The house has everything one needs. Plus- lots to do nearby. We’ve already signed up for next year.
We loved our time here! the location at the end of the street was perfect and most of our time on the beach was spent in solitude. The views from the house were incredible. Thankful to have the A/C bc we had a couple of hot days. The upstairs didn't cool as well as the ground floor so we definitely used fans upstairs on those nights. Otherwise the weather was incredible. It was a welcome break from the extreme heat of our home in the deep south. On cool nights we slept with the windows cracked and heard the sounds of the waves all night. The kids enjoyed the beach sand toys and the ping pong table. My only gripe would be at this price point I would expect linens and shampoo / shower soap to be included but at least that was communicated in the listing. We brought our own so it was fine. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!
Not only are the house and the location unbeatable, but the owners are hospitable and bend over backwards to make your stay a success. This was our first experience with Vrbo and we couldn't have been more satisfied.
Thanks for sharing your comfortable home! The kitchen was fully stocked and the views/beach access were awesome! We walked to the State Park and Cave Point, looked at the stars and watched the sunrise! Can’t say enough good things about this property - hope to stay here again!
Everything listed on the VRBO site is accurate. The home was perfect for our family of 11 including younger children. The sand toys were perfect for their ages and the outdoor shower helped with easier clean up. I would recommend the bucket of warm soapy water for foot dipping to help with sand in the house.I do agree with one of the other reviews stating that if a person were to have mobility issues, the sand embankment would be a challenge. The beach feels as if you are on the ocean. The property owner did accommodate our needs after the correspondence issues we had. Bill assured us this is not like him and will help with our next vacation. Yes, we want to go back! ❤️
What an amazing weekend in Door County. Wonderful house on a pristine beach. Being the last house before a huge state park was a huge bonus. We took long hikes and finished with beach walks. Cannot wait to stay again.
This is our second year staying at this fabulous vacation spot. The view is fantastic and morning coffee on the deck overlooking the beach is a great way to start the day! The fabulous beach and acres to the park cannot be beat. Recommend The Hitching Post and Chives for some dinners out. It is wonderful to be on the quieter side of the peninsula. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need. Having the washer and dryer available is a definite bonus. The home is very comfortable and well laid out for a large family group. Bill is very easy to work with! We hope to be back again next year!
We could see Lake Michigan from any room - moon rises and sun rising were stunning. The beach was 100% sand and the lake bottom was sand also which made it fun for kids of all ages to play, run, and walk (my journeys were about half to 1 mile). The house ...wow! there were tons of games ( indoor and outside games). House was clean and spacious - 2 levels with windows facing the lake in every room. There was also foot access to trails in the state park which meant we didn't need to do much in the way of driving to find something to do. We are going back in 2023!
If you enjoy walks along the beach and swimming in crystal clear waters, you will love this location! In addition, there is so much to do in Door County for all ages . . . hiking, shopping, tastings, sightseeing. The week went by much too quickly!
There is so much to like about this stay it is hard to decide where to start. The beautiful well appointed home sets atop a 15’ bluff affording a constant beautiful view. The sandy beach below, though public, feels like your own private beach. The owner is totally attentive to your needs. Our three generation party had a wonderful time.
