Description Description
Welcome to Thenell's Beach House, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! This fully remodeled two-story waterfront home 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 a public boat launch. Gorgeous views of the bay await you in this home that sleeps 4 (reduced from 6 due to a Village ordinance on 8/27/25, please reach out to us with questions).

Enjoy the sunset views 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 fire pit. 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.

Thenell's Cottage is a great additional rental option if you are looking for additional space to sleep up to 4. We welcome groups; feel free to reach out to us to book both places!

We had a wonderful stay and the house was lovely. The kitchen was well appointed and stocked with all the necessities cooking and baking. We loved the patio and appreciated the use of the grill as well as the full size washer and dryer. Strong wi-fi, hot showers, and comfortable beds! One of the cleanest properties we’ve rented. Great waterside location for views and relaxing. We also loved the fantastic parks, shops and restaurants in the surrounding Door County area. Don’t skip a traditional fish boil or supper club dinner. Thank you, again!

We had such a wonderful time here that we decided to extend our trip the day before we were supposed to go home! Beautiful scenery, very spacious home, and abundant outdoor space. The house was stocked with everything we needed and was more than enough space for our family of four. A perfect home to make memories in!

The "cottage" is a lovely place, spacious, bright and airy. Windows to all sides allow the view of being near the water. Sunsets are amazing. Everything you need was at your fingertips within a few minutes' drive into town. Definitely would love to return!Hildegard Mintz

戶外座椅及用品都需要自行清過一遍,且屋內蒼蠅蚊蟲太多。 樓梯建議加裝扶手,讓小朋友可以扶
Yu Hao - Posted: 10/22/2025
Hello Yu, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with the outdoor seating and the insects inside the home. That’s certainly not the experience we want for our guests. We also appreciate your thoughtful suggestion about adding a stair handrail for safety — that’s a great point, and we’ll be sure to review it with our team. Your comments mean a lot to us, and we hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back for a smoother and more comfortable stay. Warm regards, The Simple Life Rentals Team

The property was very nice and so peaceful. As others have stated, you do share the area with the cabin renters, but it was not uncomfortable in the least. I would highly recommend for a relaxing getaway.

Beautiful setting, nice accommodation. The house was clean and up to date. We did have trouble getting the upstairs cool on hot days.

We enjoyed our 3 nites. I did want to point out that upstairs the carpet in the master bedroom was already stained. Looks like the gray carpet has been bleached out.
Anita - Posted: 8/9/2025
Hello Anita, Thank you for your review! We truly appreciate your feedback and will make sure the carpet concern is addressed. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again in the future. Warm regards, The Simple Life Rentals Team

House was recently renovated. Even with the unique layout, it worked perfectly for us. the multiple convertible couches weren't used but their availability made for flexible accommodations, if it was needed. Would rent again.
