About this property

Bordering Whitefish Dunes Park, best sand beach in Door County - Kayaks included

Our #1 goal is to do everything possible for you to enjoy a 5-Star experience at our beautiful home on the border of the Whitefish Dunes State Park. Our area is a Kayak lovers dream come true with a beautiful sand beach that has a very gradual drop off so WE INCLUDE 2 KAYAKS with all Summer rentals.

The Whitefish Dunes Beach Haven was custom built in the late '90s. It is beautifully equipped and can accommodate up to 10 people or more. We are fortunate to have the absolutely nicest sand beach in Door County. We are NOT DRIECTLY ON THE WATER but our private beach is just a 3-minute walk (or 500 feet) from our front door. Take a walk on the beautiful beach or hike or bike right out your front door! We are located in an exclusive, secluded area, yet we are only 15-20 minutes from the quaint village shops and wineries that Door County offers.

Our Rec Room offers Ping Pong, a coffee table with backgammon and cribbage, 48 inch Smart TV, and a pull-out queen size sofa for groups that wish to add a 4th private bedroom.

Our large great room offers a beautiful cathedral ceiling, fireplace, plenty of comfortable seating, 42" flat panel Smart TV with an HDMI cable for your laptop.

Large Kitchen offers a microwave, glass cook top, full-size oven, 2 full-size refrigerators (1 in the garage), dishwasher, coffee maker, coffee grinder, toaster, blender, and lots of cabinets, counter space and a variety of spices.

Our Sunroom/dining room facing Lake Michigan has 8 skylights over a dining table that seats up to 10 plus high chairs. In addition, our snack bar seats 3.

We have a Huge Back Deck with beautiful Western exposures with natural charcoal grill and seating for 10 or more.

Everyone loves hanging out at our Fire Pit overlooking beautiful Whitefish Dunes State Park. Awesome views of the Big Dipper and Little Dipper in the Summer.

Laundry room with washer, dryer and a laundry sink.

SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS:

Bedroom #1: Master Bedroom (second floor) with Queen bed positioned directly under a sky lite. Smart TV with an HDMI cable for your laptop.

Shower with massaging jets and 2 shower heads. Climb the ship’s ladder (located in the corner of the bedroom) to access the Crow’s Nest with a panoramic view of the Whitefish Dunes State Park and Lake Michigan.

Bedroom #3 (main floor) 1 Queen, 1 Twin, 2 dressers, and walk-in closet. Private deck with amazing views of the State Park.

* Bedroom #4 (main floor): For groups that need 4 private sleeping areas the rec room easily becomes a private sleeping area with a pull-out Queen size bed directly under a skylight. Upon request - we can add a Full Size bed. There is also a half bathroom just outside the door.

#5 Open Concept Bedroom on the upper loft with Full-Size Futon Couch. Great spot for kids or for adults that do not need privacy. Beautiful view of the Great Room and Whitefish Dunes Park.

#6 Couches and the den and great room have been used as beds for larger groups.

PLEASE BE AWARE: We love the views from the house so much - and our location is so private - that we decided not to use any window coverings anywhere in our home.

Definitely coming back!

We recently stayed at this property and could see right away it wasn't just a property, it was a home. We were lacking nothing in our weekend stay as the owner has been meticulous in making his home comfortable and accessible for guests, with plenty of space for group meals or solitary reflection. Even on a cool "off season" day the home is a cozy refuge and the views are spectacular, especially the sunrises and sunsets from the crow's nest. My only regret was that we only stayed two nights! We will definitely be back.

Lovely Stay

Lovely house with nice facilities. Could hear the waves from the lake with the windows open. Beach is gorgeous. Access to the beach may be a challenge if you have mobility problems or small children. Steep drive to walk up and down as well. Overall very pleasant and enjoyable stay and would return and also recommend.

My Happy Place

Fred's home is truly paradise. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our quiet mornings (before the kids woke up), sipping coffee and taking in the breathtaking view from the beach. The kitchen, adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the picturesque woods, made breakfast a delightful experience. The natural beauty of the surroundings, including woodpeckers, deer, turkeys, cardinals, and bluejays, captivated us for hours as we relaxed on the wrap-around deck. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring restful nights. Being able to see the sunrise through the trees from the master bedroom was breathtaking! When we were not off exploring hiking trails, eating ice cream, or relaxing on the beach, we entertained ourselves with ping pong in the game room or reading in their charming sitting room. All five of us shared the sentiment of how much we adored Fred's house, making it the most memorable family vacation we have ever had. We can't wait to get back there next summer!
