Daybreak Shores – Lake Michigan Retreat – Walkout Beach, Deck & Bonfire Pit

Escape to this modern Lake Michigan retreat with a sandy walkout beach, panoramic lake views, and peaceful wooded surroundings. Located just minutes from downtown Sturgeon Bay and a short drive to Door County’s scenic parks, wineries, and waterfront towns, this bright and open 2-bedroom home is perfect for families, couples, and remote workers seeking comfort and relaxation on the shore.

Main Floor
Step inside to an airy open floor plan where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together beneath soaring ceilings and windows framing breathtaking lake views. A stone fireplace anchors the cozy living room, while the walkout deck just beyond invites morning coffee, lakeside grilling, or simply soaking in the sound of the waves.

The primary bedroom features a queen bed plus a daybed with twin trundle, ideal for families with young children or extra guests. It also doubles as a convenient remote-work space with a full desk setup, monitor, printer, and ultra-fast 1-gig Wi-Fi — perfect for blending work and leisure.

Upstairs
The second floor includes a bedroom with a queen bed and twin trundle, plus a loft area that serves as a fun hangout spot with a foosball table, kids’ coloring and game nook, and an additional twin with trundle for flexible sleeping arrangements. The bedroom features an open-concept layout (no full door and partial wall height) that maintains the home’s bright, airy feel and connection to the main living area below.

Outdoors
Enjoy one of Door County’s special sandy walkout beaches just steps from your door. The shoreline offers plenty of space for relaxing, beachcombing, and wading in the clear Lake Michigan water. Please note that the lakebed can be rocky in places, so water shoes are recommended and swimming may be better suited for confident swimmers or older children.

This home’s peaceful setting, combined with its modern layout and unbeatable lake views, make it an ideal retreat for a romantic getaway, family vacation, or work-from-anywhere escape.

Please note: No parties or large gatherings. The home is intended for peaceful relaxation and family enjoyment only.

Explore Door County & Sturgeon Bay

Located just minutes from downtown Sturgeon Bay, you’ll find yourself perfectly positioned to enjoy Door County’s best beaches, wineries, and small-town charm. Spend the day exploring Potawatomi State Park, Cave Point County Park, or the scenic Door County Coastal Byway.

Sample local wines and craft brews, enjoy waterfront dining at Sonny’s or Stone Harbor, or browse the charming shops and galleries of downtown Sturgeon Bay. For a fun family outing, visit The Farm, take a kayak or boat tour, or catch a summer concert in Martin Park.

Whether you prefer adventure or relaxation, this home is the perfect base for experiencing the beauty, flavors, and peaceful pace that make Door County unforgettable.

We had an amazing stay at this lakefront home near Sturgeon Bay! The house was spotless and beautifully set up — everything felt brand new and thoughtfully organized. The layout worked great for our group. The views of Lake Michigan are incredible, especially at sunrise, and we spent most evenings out by the fire pit or on the deck.The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and it was nice having small touches like the coffee bar. It’s a short drive into Sturgeon Bay, but we also loved just relaxing at the house and walking the quiet beach.We can’t wait to come back next summer — it’s such a peaceful spot and you can really tell the owners put care into every detail. Highly recommend!

We had a very relaxing stay. All of the details were taken care of by the host.it was very clean, and the beach was gorgeous. The only downside was there were deer flies on the beach during the second week of August.

Enjoyable Vacation

The property was well maintained, with a location off the beaten path. We enjoyed the privacy and the view was amazing. So much to do in the area within 1 hour of the property. The house had everything we needed in it,and was spacious. Communication with the owners was very easy and everything was laid out beautifully.

Had a wonderful time here! The house was pristine, well equipped, and and the grounds perfectly maintained. Our family has been in Door County for over 100 years and couldn’t have picked a better spot in Sturgeon Bay to try out! The Eichorns were responsive, clear and helpful. Would definitely book again.

Beach house vacation

We had a lot of fun staying in this beautiful cottage. It was very clean and well maintained. Beach was also very nice, clean and right out the door. We used the grill once. We appreciate the host supplied this option with gas can ready, and plenty of firewood! We gave 5 stars for it all! Thank you, Dave and Tricia!

Relaxing Getaway

My husband and I have been wanting to get away to Door County for a few years during the prime fall colors. I had stayed at this property once before with my sisters and loved it so much I wanted to go back. It was perfect for a nice relaxing weekend. We wanted something right on the water and away from the noise. A quiet little oasis. It was perfect!

This place is a 10! The owners are amazing! This place has gorgeous details within the home & the decor is super cozy! The property is so well kept & the view of the lake was breath taking! They have truly thought of everything to accomodate you for your stay. The owners communicate with you and are lovely people. Everyone had such a wonderful time sitting around the firepit while listening to the waves crash in. This is by far the best place we have booked and we hope to go back again soon!

We loved our stay. The home is exactly as described. Cozy with every amenity you need. The beach front is exquisite. Peaceful and so serene. The yard is an added bonus. Plenty of space to run around and or sit and relax. 10 minutes from downtown Sturgeon Bay and a 30 minute drive to Fish Creek. Thank you so much for sharing your treasure.

Perfect Girls Weekend

We had a group of 6 ladies stay for a weekend. This property was perfect! The fire pit and shoreline were a huge draw for us and did not disappoint! We wish the sun would have been shining nice and bright like it was at our checkout time for the whole weekend, but that’s obviously uncontrollable. Our hosts were very easy to communicate with and the house was very clean. Checkout instructions/requirements were minimal, which was much appreciated. I’ve already booked a weekend for next summer, and several ladies in our group plan to do the same!

Family Vacation

My husband and I stayed with our adult children and 7 year old grandson for four nights late in August. Large sandy beach is definitely the draw, and it was truly awesome. Firepit, foosball table, paddle boards, outside deck, and the ability to bring our dog were very nice amenities. Home is clean and comfortable. Only downside was sharing one small bathroom amongst the eight of us - but it was as advertised so we knew what we were getting into. The large sandy beach and beautiful lake views can't be beat, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. 🌞

Beautiful beachfront get-away

We enjoyed our stay at the beach house! The pictures online are legitimate and the house is right on the beach....we loved listening to the water and waves in the evening (even though it was chilly out while we were there). My daughter and grandkids loved walking the beach looking for "treasures" and getting some exercise. The house is well set up for visitors - the kitchen has everything you need and there are plenty of beds, linens, and cozy blankets for sitting in the living room and watching the lake/water. The loft area was great for the grandkids as well as the board games/foosball table provided by the hosts. David and Tricia responded quickly to my messages and questions and were excellent hosts! We would love to stay here again!
