8 Miles Of Sand Beach To Explore ~ Outstanding Sunset Views Over The Lake!

Walk 4 miles of empty beach in either direction or bike down a wooded road laced with million dollar homes. Our property is located in the most rural and secluded section of the most desirable Midwestern destination. Bikes and beach toys are provided with this totally equipped home which was built for large group rentals.

Children love to dig a waterhole in the beach, play with the odd homemade wooden toys or watch movies until they fall asleep in their rooms. Adults enjoy sharing breakfast for two on the roof porch or beach swing. The night sky is lit with stars while your family roasts marshmallows over a beach fire.

The beach house sits on top of a dune surrounded with pine trees. Large windows make viewing the lake a treat from each common area. Seamlessly, the stone design blends into the landscape making your transformation from the elegant inside into the dune environment an unforgettable experience. 4 kings, 3 queens, l small daybed, 2 full futons, cots and inflatables

Mary's beach house is like coming home. It is a comfortable rustic place to stay with everything you need to enjoy your time on the beach. The views are breathtaking and the property is accessible. We had a wide range of ages with the oldest of our party being 89. The porch was their favorite perch and the path to the beach was easy enough for them to walk. If you're looking for a place that fits all ages, this is it.

Wonderful time

Beautiful home. This house has a wonderful homey, comfortable feel. We were a party of 11 and there was enough room for all including a large dining room table to play family games on. The house was very well stocked with all necessities and more. Location was great. Short trip to store, yet located on private beachfront lot. We had a group of all ages and all had a wonderful time.

The house, hosts and beach were great! A rustic feel to the house, which was appreciated. The view is spectacular, especially when the southwest winds brought huge waves ashore. Close to everything!

A little slice of heaven

We’ve been before & will come again as long as Ray & Mary continue to rent! The house is a little dated & full of personal, whimsical touches - not your sterile corporate vrbo stay. But the beach is an unmatched feature among door county rentals. We adore this property and were sad to go. Already looking forward to next year!

Comfy house

The location of this property can't be beat. Right on a beautiful beach - sunrise/sunset are wonderful. We went over Memorial Day and was amazing, the height of summer would be even better. Bedrooms are close quarters but as a group of 12, we were fine, everyone had a bed and it was a blast. Hosts were great.

Great location

The house was in a great location within 7 miles of Sturgeon Bay to pick up groceries or go to lunch or dinner. The house has a beautiful view of Lake Michigan and has a long stretch of sandy beach to take walks. The kitchen was well supplied with pots and pans to cook dinners for 12 people. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the house.

Wonderful house in a fabulous location

This was our second stay and it was just a great as the first. The house is comfortable and cozy, especially on a winter evening with the fire crackling and the waves crashing, and I don't think I would ever tire of the view! We spent a lot of time walking on the beach, picking up shells and pebbles and following deer tracks, and were even greeted on day one with a bald eagle fly-over. All in all, I would totally recommend a stay at Mary's Beach House!

Quiet and Private Beach Oasis

The house is lovely and was enough room for my family of ten to spread out when we needed, but come together when we wanted to. The beach is perfect-quiet and hardly saw anyone else. The water was lovely (a bit chilly in June). Watch out for mosquitoes-would advise bringing lots of spray in mid-June.

We love this place!

This was our second time staying at this great beach house. The place is huge, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The upper floor bedroom is like sleeping in a giant treehouse! There is a nice wide beach and you can walk a long way in either direction. The decor is very "Door County" and the hosts are really responsive. We'll be back!

If you could bottle this week's weather...

Wow! We couldn't have had better weather during our stay....a LOT of beach days on a beautiful shoreline made it perfect. The home is spacious, fully furnished, 'lived-in' so you can relax with kids and dogs around, and of course situated right on the beach. The furnishings come with stories/history and the architecture is interesting; both add to the character of this place. Soak up the sun for a while, then take a meal break just steps away, then head out again for some more. The owners were friendly and helped us with recommendations for local restaurants. Great place for a gathering of an extended family.

Mary’s Beach House

This is an older property with lots of character that perfectly suited us. The sand beach is gorgeous and perfect for walking. The house is spacious and private. It was cool, but our dog loved the swimming in Lake Michigan. The neighborhood is quiet and our old biking legs appreciated the flatter roads in the area. It is beautiful in Door County and this area along Glidden is one of the most beautiful. Mary and Ray Spangler are great hosts who respond immediately if there is a question or problem. For us this is a five star property and we are already looking forward to coming back here next July.

Family vacation

We had a wonderful time. The size of house was great, the view gorgeous, the owners lovely and they did a great job having everything that you could need on hand for a family vacation. We had our adult children, two son in law’s and a 15 year old grandchild, 8 total. Bikes were used. Only negative comment is that the beach house is very dated for the price. Overall we had a wonderful time and great memories. Thank you Mary

Love the location and home, unhappy other parts of rental

We drove up to the home on the first night at 3:30 p.m. to find a partial tree blocking the driveway and outside toys blown all over. Cleaned it up, never took a picture. House was as expected, perfect for our large family. The beach was easy access great place for walks. Location of home was great as well and close to many attractions. The house was dirty, but we let this go. We realize lake houses get dirty so wrote it off to that. The house was full of ants we kept our food in totes and the ants were also in two of the downstairs bedrooms and a bathroom. We did go buy ant traps which helped in the kitchen but not the other areas. We love the house for our family so let it all go. Had not tried to communicate with owner as I had wrote a message on May 15th, never got a response. The worst part of the stay was the last full day of trip. Owner arrived at backdoor of house before 7:00 a.m. This is our vacation, and we paid what we felt was a large sum of money for this rental only to be bothered at 7:00 a.m. and he did not call first. Our daughter was breastfeeding her baby in the sunroom enjoying the view and the next thing she sees is a stranger. He showed up to say neighbor complained as we had small fire on the beach the night before and listened to music were in house by 9:45 p.m. as quiet time is 10:00 p.m. The owners lack of courtesy to call and acting like we were in the wrong as we followed the rules was hard to take.

Great Lake House for Family Time Together.

The Lake is our happy place, no matter the season. This is a well-cared-for home. So much is here to make it a home from the stocked kitchen to the cozy bedrooms to the full washer/dryer to the extra soaps in the bathrooms. We loved watching the sunrise and sunset from the indoor patio, the huge windows in the main living room, and the panoramic views from the 2nd floor. We got some wonderful family time with our family of 4 and my parents (grandparent time!) Could’ve even had a friend or two join us! Two great tables to play card/board games and build puzzles. WiFi is also good here and there are card/board games and movies to choose. Mary is very responsive and a great host. We’re seeing about heading back to this home soon! Thank you for this time together in a wonderful place.
