Beachfront vacation rentals in Door County

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!

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!

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.

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 was the BEST place to stay for a girls weekend in Door County, we absolutely loved it!!

This place was absolutely amazing. Beautiful house and property, right on the lake. We came for a weekend book retreat, lots of comfy places to read including the deck with the Adirondack chairs! The lake was right out front so we had an amazing view as well as the calming sounds of the water and breeze. Definitely one we will come back to!

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.

Exceeded expectations. Wonderful location between sturgeon bay and baileys harbor. Amazing outside area to enjoy a fire by the water and sunrise in the mornings. We will be back! Thank you!!

We loved staying at Gary's place. The location was awesome for walking to all the restaurants and shops in Sister Bay and viewing the sunsets by the water. The condo was surprisingly quite considering how close to major restaurants and shopping it is located. Also, the kitchen was well stocked. We didn't' feel like he skimped on the extras, like soap, laundry detergent, etc. We would stay at Gary's place again when wanting to be able to walk in Sister Bay.

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!!!

Our family vacation was absolutely what we wanted on Washington Island, and especially at Essa's home! We wanted a quiet, relaxing place, and we definitely got that. We seriously felt like we were on a secluded island....didn't see one person until we drove to the other side of the island! If you are looking for a place to get away from the everyday hustle of life, Essa's place is where it's at. We got up in the mornings and had coffee and read on the 4 season's porch, sat on the beach, played games, watched movies, and had bonfires in the evening. The only bad thing....the week went to quickly!!!!

We had a wonderful long weekend in this super cozy, extremely clean home where we had everything we needed. The view and sunsets were amazing, and we enjoyed the backyard even though the weather was a little chilly. Check in was easy and Natasha was very responsive. We would definitely recommend staying here and would love to come back again!

Very peaceful location on the water with great views. Location was perect for exploring Door County. Stairs to the beach and in the house with stairs to the kitchen / eating area plus uneven terrain in the back yard (it is a rocky peninsula); would make sure people staying are up to the stairs and terrain.

We loved this cabin! It was a minute walk from a little inland lake with a dock and it was amazing having a fire pit to use as well as canoes and kayaks! The cabin was warm and cozy. Would definitely come back.

Superb location with fantastic view directly on the shore. Owner greeted us on arrival & gave friendly welcome. This continued throughout our stay. Good info provided about local facilities & places. The house is superbly turned out & clean. Downstairs the large living/dining/kitchen had everything you could wish for. The only downside was that lack of laundry washing facilities in the rental, a facility typically provided in a property of this quality/cost. The host did offer use of their private laundry. Upstairs the two bedroom had large comfortable beds, one contained a child’s cot. Large communal/living area (bed settee). Bathroom was great, plenty of hot water & clean towels . Added bonus of a downstairs toilet. Outside was an allocated parking space, a BBQ, rocky shoreline & jetty with seating to watch the stunning sunsets. A peaceful location, fabulous views across the lake & great location for day trips across Door County. In brief, great place, great location, great hosts.
