8 Miles Of Sand Beach To Explore ~ Outstanding Sunset Views Over The Lake!

Walk 4 miles of empty beach in either direction or bike down a wooded road laced with million dollar homes. Our property is located in the most rural and secluded section of the most desirable Midwestern destination. Bikes and beach toys are provided with this totally equipped home which was built for large group rentals.

Children love to dig a waterhole in the beach, play with the odd homemade wooden toys or watch movies until they fall asleep in their rooms. Adults enjoy sharing breakfast for two on the roof porch or beach swing. The night sky is lit with stars while your family roasts marshmallows over a beach fire.

The beach house sits on top of a dune surrounded with pine trees. Large windows make viewing the lake a treat from each common area. Seamlessly, the stone design blends into the landscape making your transformation from the elegant inside into the dune environment an unforgettable experience. 4 kings, 3 queens, l small daybed, 2 full futons, cots and inflatables
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Mary's beach house is like coming home. It is a comfortable rustic place to stay with everything you need to enjoy your time on the beach. The views are breathtaking and the property is accessible. We had a wide range of ages with the oldest of our party being 89. The porch was their favorite perch and the path to the beach was easy enough for them to walk. If you're looking for a place that fits all ages, this is it.

Love the location and home, unhappy other parts of rental

We drove up to the home on the first night at 3:30 p.m. to find a partial tree blocking the driveway and outside toys blown all over. Cleaned it up, never took a picture. House was as expected, perfect for our large family. The beach was easy access great place for walks. Location of home was great as well and close to many attractions. The house was dirty, but we let this go. We realize lake houses get dirty so wrote it off to that. The house was full of ants we kept our food in totes and the ants were also in two of the downstairs bedrooms and a bathroom. We did go buy ant traps which helped in the kitchen but not the other areas. We love the house for our family so let it all go. Had not tried to communicate with owner as I had wrote a message on May 15th, never got a response. The worst part of the stay was the last full day of trip. Owner arrived at backdoor of house before 7:00 a.m. This is our vacation, and we paid what we felt was a large sum of money for this rental only to be bothered at 7:00 a.m. and he did not call first. Our daughter was breastfeeding her baby in the sunroom enjoying the view and the next thing she sees is a stranger. He showed up to say neighbor complained as we had small fire on the beach the night before and listened to music were in house by 9:45 p.m. as quiet time is 10:00 p.m. The owners lack of courtesy to call and acting like we were in the wrong as we followed the rules was hard to take.

Wonderful time

Beautiful home. This house has a wonderful homey, comfortable feel. We were a party of 11 and there was enough room for all including a large dining room table to play family games on. The house was very well stocked with all necessities and more. Location was great. Short trip to store, yet located on private beachfront lot. We had a group of all ages and all had a wonderful time.

A little slice of heaven

We’ve been before & will come again as long as Ray & Mary continue to rent! The house is a little dated & full of personal, whimsical touches - not your sterile corporate vrbo stay. But the beach is an unmatched feature among door county rentals. We adore this property and were sad to go. Already looking forward to next year!

Great location

The house was in a great location within 7 miles of Sturgeon Bay to pick up groceries or go to lunch or dinner. The house has a beautiful view of Lake Michigan and has a long stretch of sandy beach to take walks. The kitchen was well supplied with pots and pans to cook dinners for 12 people. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the house.

Mary’s Beach House

This is an older property with lots of character that perfectly suited us. The sand beach is gorgeous and perfect for walking. The house is spacious and private. It was cool, but our dog loved the swimming in Lake Michigan. The neighborhood is quiet and our old biking legs appreciated the flatter roads in the area. It is beautiful in Door County and this area along Glidden is one of the most beautiful. Mary and Ray Spangler are great hosts who respond immediately if there is a question or problem. For us this is a five star property and we are already looking forward to coming back here next July.

Like staying at my grandparent's cabin

Stayed with the family and some friends and their kids in Mary's Beach House for five nights. Ray and Mary were great with the check in, said we could come a little earlier as the cabin was available, even replaced a gas grill that was broken the next day. We got there late Sunday afternoon and immediately hit the beach, which is really the most outstanding feature of the property. We could see the kids playing in the water from the deck and the path is short, maybe 30 feet or so before you hit the sand. Pretty much spent all week on that amazing beach. Sand everywhere, even with the kids rinsing off their feet with the hose next to the house. Hard to keep the sand out, but we tried. There's washer and dryer in the cabin, so we did a lot of laundry. Had to buy beach towels, as there were none. The cabin itself has lots of bedrooms, with a lofted room that has a 360-degree view that is pretty amazing along with a little deck area. Though this space could be a great master suite, it was set up more for kids. Overall, the cabin is feeling it's age and there are a few areas that are perpetually damp and dank, which is just how it is when you have a place right on the beach. Makes it smell like wet cedar, just like my grandparent's cabin. There are lot of dusty cabin-y knick-knacks around (not like the "beach swag" you get from Amazon) and plenty of post-its that let you know what you can and can't do in the house--just like grandma and grandpas.

Mary's Summer House

We checked with the owner and was told we could check in at 12:00, but when we arrived the house was still being cleaned - the owner didn't tell the cleaning person. we waited on the deck and beach while the cleaning was finished. The house had lots of bedrooms and the spaces were large. It was great that we could walk out the back door and be at the beach. There was a grill with a propane tank, but when attempting to use found the ignitor did not work and the grease trap was broken into 3 pieces. there was also a charcoal grill which we sued in stead. I messaged the owner and he was prompt and addressing the issues - brought towels and look at grill and said not to use. As the week progressed we discovered the ice maker was not producing ice and the upstairs toilet was problematic with continual running. I would rent again, but when I called with my dates for next year the house had been rented, but have blocked in dates for 2025. this is a great place for families with young childrent to gather and enjoy the beach.

Quiet and Private Beach Oasis

The house is lovely and was enough room for my family of ten to spread out when we needed, but come together when we wanted to. The beach is perfect-quiet and hardly saw anyone else. The water was lovely (a bit chilly in June). Watch out for mosquitoes-would advise bringing lots of spray in mid-June.

The location of this property can't be beat. Right on a beautiful beach - sunrise/sunset are wonderful. We went over Memorial Day and was amazing, the height of summer would be even better. Bedrooms are close quarters but as a group of 12, we were fine, everyone had a bed and it was a blast. Hosts were great.

Great Lake House for Family Time Together.

The Lake is our happy place, no matter the season. This is a well-cared-for home. So much is here to make it a home from the stocked kitchen to the cozy bedrooms to the full washer/dryer to the extra soaps in the bathrooms. We loved watching the sunrise and sunset from the indoor patio, the huge windows in the main living room, and the panoramic views from the 2nd floor. We got some wonderful family time with our family of 4 and my parents (grandparent time!) Could’ve even had a friend or two join us! Two great tables to play card/board games and build puzzles. WiFi is also good here and there are card/board games and movies to choose. Mary is very responsive and a great host. We’re seeing about heading back to this home soon! Thank you for this time together in a wonderful place.

Wonderful house in a fabulous location

This was our second stay and it was just a great as the first. The house is comfortable and cozy, especially on a winter evening with the fire crackling and the waves crashing, and I don't think I would ever tire of the view! We spent a lot of time walking on the beach, picking up shells and pebbles and following deer tracks, and were even greeted on day one with a bald eagle fly-over. All in all, I would totally recommend a stay at Mary's Beach House!
