Waterfront Home in Sturgeon Bay, Door County

Embark on your next Door County adventure at Owl's Nest, brought to you by Simple Life Rentals! Nestled at the end of a secluded road, this private year-round retreat boasts 185 feet of rugged lakefront along Sand Bay (on the Green Bay side of Lake Michigan). Embrace the tranquility of a wooded lakeside haven, flanked by neighbors on just one side, offering the ultimate setting for unwinding and rejuvenating.

With 4 bedrooms and three full baths, this home invites family gatherings to create cherished memories. In winter, watch ice fishing right from the comfort of home. Come summer, bask in the sun on the dock or unwind in the expansive screened-in porch. Bring along your kayaks or canoes and set sail from the shore to explore the bay's wonders at your leisure.

We recommend Wave Pointe marina, which is right next to the public boat launch as it offers daily slip rentals as well as a swimming pool. This marina is just 4.6 miles away.
