Sturgeon Bay Waterfront! Thenell's Beach House

Welcome to Thenell's Beach House, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! A newly remodeled two-story waterfront home just steps away from the water. The Beach House is conveniently located between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor, approximately 5 miles north of Sturgeon Bay and 1 mile south of George Pinney County Park (Stone Quarry) and public boat launch. Gorgeous views of the bay await you in this home that sleeps 6. Enjoy the sunset views over the bay from the home or the large deck overlooking the water. You will have panoramic views of Potawatomi State Park and the Sherwood Point Lighthouse. You can hear the waves lapping the shore as you cozy up around the firepit. There is plenty of space for the kids to run and play outdoors. It has a semi-private beach shared with Thenell's Cottage next door.

There is a bar and grill within walking distance from the cottage. Enjoy a tranquil getaway just minutes away from the many attractions Door County has to offer!

**This is a quiet community with residential neighbors. This home is geared towards quiet family vacations. Due to the proximity of neighbors, we cannot accommodate bachelor or bachelorette parties, reunions or other rowdy gatherings.

Wonderful Retreat
Our friends from Arizona wanted to hike indoor County. I am so happy we found Thennel’s Beach House. It was perfect. Clean. Well equipped kitchen & fabulous sunsets. Our only comment would be: we were there during a very hot time so greatly appreciated the AC. It would be helpful if there were some ceiling fans in the bedrooms to help circulate the air. Other than that, it was perfect.! Jeanne

Clean and comfortable!
Loved the quiet location and it was very clean. We wanted a waterfront location and this worked well. The only thing we did not realize is there is another small property right in front on the water that has the water access. There wasn't anyone staying there so we were thankful we could sit along the water by the smaller VRBO home. Wonderful, responsive hosts!

Beautiful spot on the bay. 200 feet from old time northern bar/restaurant, good food and great drink, and nice people. The house was very big, clean, quiet, and in a great location. Everything you would need for any length of stay. Loved the whole experience.

Nice place but…
House was nice and clean but it took around an hour to get in because the code they provided didn’t work. There was some confusion about which house we were staying at. Then the back door lock wouldn’t work and they never came to fix it so we were unable to lock up at night or when we left.

We enjoyed our stay at Thenell’s Beach House. The house was spacious, clean and in a beautiful neighborhood. The water was just steps away. Our door code didn’t work upon arrival but the management company was super fast to respond, quickly resolved and followed up later. Highly recommend!

Very Nice house
The actual property was better than the pictures. Super clean and looks newly renovated. Location was great, a few miles out of town but perfect for us. Access to the bay for fishing or swimming (water is cold). Plenty of room for a family of 4-6. Great to walk out to the back deck in the early morning and enjoy nature or come back and relax after a day out.

Wonderful Waterfront Home
Thenell's Beach House was an amazing place to stay!!! It felt like home while we were away on vacation. Everything was exceptional...clean, comfortable, well stocked kitchen, beautifully decorated, spacious bedrooms, great views of the bay from the shared beach area, and a welcoming yard/deck/campfire area. The property management company was very helpful and prompt with a question I had after booking the property. We can't say enough good things about this VRBO property, we would definitely stay here again!

Leaf peeping in the Door County Pennisula
It was perfect for the 2 couples; rental used as a base to explore Door County. Kitchen was well stocked with a variety of dishes / cooking pots /pans, etc. Liked the plastic glasses for sitting around the fire or at the beach access. House is very nice and clean. Property management quickly responded to a very minor issue with an inoperable coffee pot and missing coffee mugs.

Peaceful, enchanting, fun!
Very convenient along the bay shore just moments from downtown Sturgeon Bay. Lovely water views from house and big yard. It was a wonderful updated home that had a well-equipped kitchen, lovely, comfortable furniture and beautiful water views. Really thoughtful decorating touches! Although just my husband and I this time , we definitely will return again either with another couple or our grandchildren. Thank you!
