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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Daybreak shores is perfectly named for its beautiful sunrises over the lake. We enjoyed a quiet and cozy winter weekend with beautiful views and a warm fire. The place is very clean and has great provisions. It is remote and quiet, but a short trip to Sturgeon Bay for shopping and restaurants. Greg was a very helpful host. We would love to come back and experience other seasons here.

We enjoyed celebrating the new year in this amazing lakefront home with all the comforts of home! Door was a Winter wonderland during our stay! While spending time at the house, the kids (ages 12 and 14) played their first games of foosball, we all played some great games together - nice selection of games and puzzles provided - and the sunrise was incredible! We especially enjoy visiting Scaturo's while in Sturgeon Bay. Nothing we've eaten from there has ever disappointed us! Be sure to grab a cherry pie! Ten stars to the host for cleanliness, comfort, and communication.

Fantastic family rental

This was my second stay at this vacation rental and was just as good as the first. Communication with the owner was always prompt and they provided all of the information and more that we needed. The house is beautiful, always clean, and well stocked with the basics that you need. Our kids and us had so much fun on the beach swimming, using the paddle board and doing fires every night. I couldn't recommend this vacation rental more:)

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!
