Bay Waterfront - Pet Friendly - Cozy Shore

Cozy Shore, hosted by Simple Life Rentals, is an obvious choice for anyone looking to vacation comfortably while being surrounded by the natural beauty Door County has to offer. Cozy Shore is a lovely year-round cottage on the Shore of Green Bay. This home sleeps 10 and features three bedrooms, with five beds, two bathrooms, and a sofa bed in the living room. Enjoy giant windows facing the bay, a four-season sunroom with a wall of windows, and a spacious deck for morning coffee and sunsets. The kitchen has a large granite island and lots of room to cook for the family. Enjoy the evening around the fire pit and the six comfortable Adirondack chairs. Cozy Shore was designed to bring families together with the large open gathering space. Stay close to home in Brussels or venture further north to explore all that Door County has to offer!

We love our family pet dogs and welcome yours too.Your well behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval. This property allows up to 2 dogs. There is a fee of $50 per dog/per night, which is collected separately and approximately one week prior to your check-in date.

The road and driveway are plowed regularly but the hill can get slick during snowfall. Shoveling may be necessary on the walkway to the main entrance.

10-16 thru 10-20-24 Fall Colors in Door County
We booked this stay for relaxation and fishing on lake Michigan. The home has the most beautiful view of Green Bay from the wall of windows off the back of the home and also the most gorgeous sunsets. We had 4 out 4 stunning sunsets. The yard is private with woods on both sides which is exactly what we were after. We walked the shoreline everyday with our pups and found many seashells and saw several eagles up close. The colors in the area were stunning and I believe at their peek. Whitefish Dunes State Park was a highlight as well as the Sturgeon Bay area. The fishing did not go as anticipated. Even the guided nighttime fishing was a bust but it was still fun seeing the pictures our kids sent back of the sunsets from the boat. All in all, I would recommend this home for rental and this area for exploring.

A little slice of Heaven
This location is great as it is 30 min to fun shopping and activities north and 30 minutes to Green Bay. Excellent biking by the way in GB along Fox River Trail. House is truly “Cozy Shore”! The beach gives easy access for kayaks. BTW you can rent kayaks at Bay Shore Outfitters and they deliver! Kitchen is well equipped. We did bring in bottled water for drinking as was suggested. Beds comfortable. We hope to return next year.

Perfect summer weekend
My family and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend here. The house is spacious and slept eight of us comfortably. We had all the accommodations we needed for our stay, including access to the bay, fire pit for s’mores and an outdoor grill. If you’re looking for a quiet weekend to relax, this is the place.

Very Private Getaway
We were looking for a place right on the water and found it here. You have your own beach area with a dock as well. The property was pet friendly. There was a feeling of seclusion as the property border was lined with trees on both sides. The house was comfortable with plenty of options for relaxing. Door County is very close by for those who want to do some exploring.

Lovely Property
We really had a wonderful time. Sturgeon Bay is a lovely area and we found really good dining options. It was very quiet and not many boats but we came towards the end of the season, so not sure what it’s like mid Summer. The layout of the home is superb with lots of room to relax, play games, eat and visit. It is pet friendly with extra food, a crate for smaller dogs and extra food and food bowls, nice touch. We also saw some neighbors and everyone was very friendly. FYI, the home is on septic, so you need to get used to the slight smell of the water. My only ask is that the property could use a good deep clean. Saw heavy dust on fans and some webs in corners. Did not take away from the trip at all, but would have been that much nicer. Thanks for a lovely and quiet getaway. It was exactly what we needed.

Beautiful home and property
As rock and fossil lovers, the beach was great. No complaints about the house at all, but some of the drawers and appliances were less than clean. Unable to drink the water, we asked twice for help as to where we could refill the water dispenser jugs to no avail but the response time was quick nonetheless. Nice and quiet and a sunset paradise!

Wonderful Winter Stay
Very nice and well-kept property. We needed a few days between the holidays to just rest and relax with the family. The location was perfect for us as we had some events in the Green Bay area to attend as well wanting to get up into Northern Door. Can't beat the Green Bay views and sunsets! The house itself had a a lot of room to spread out and relax. We really enjoyed our stay!

The perfect spot - even on rainy days!
From the moment we walked in, we loved the home and property. My gosh what a view! Most of our stay was cool and rainy so we scraped our outdoor plans and stayed in with our dog. We really enjoyed the home by cooking in the well appointed kitchen with a glass of wine (or two), movies, reading. Best of all was watching the water change and one sunset. It was so cozy and we felt the owners welcome with thoughtful gestures in the home. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

Our boys love to fish and be on the water so when I came across this property I knew it would be perfect for us. The views were spectacular and to see that on their faces when we walked in was priceless. The location was quiet and close to where we wanted to be. The house was well maintained. My kids are already asking when can we go back.

Great large home with wonderful views of the lake. Great sunsets. Location is super quiet (and a little way out of any local town if that is what you are looking for). Comfy everything. Read the fine print....Be sure to bring your own towels, no towels provided for some reason.

Dirty house
Great property but was shocked at how dirty it was. Big long black hairs in drawers in bathroom, pubic hairs in tub, one bedroom smelled like dog urine, dust and cob webs, vents were full of fuzz and dust, towels were old and ripped, NO wash clothes, freezer in the fridge was filthy. There was no soap , no paper towels, coffee pot had not been cleaned so I washed it up and it was cracked. If it wasn’t for the manager we would have left. She tried to accommodate us by bringing supplies and new coffee maker. Great property with a great view but it’s not taken care of. The towels were the worst. I expect clean fluffy white towels that you know have been bleached, not ripped frayed old rags. A lot of money to spend to stay there and wind up cleaning it. Beds were very comfortable.
