This is a great property! Beautiful location with Lake Michigan only a few steps away. The host was great at communicating, the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need, and you can't beat the location. Highly recommend.
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.
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!
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:)
Just awesome! Lovely home, very well stocked, with a beautiful flat back yard with a patio, firepit, plenty of wood, and a really nice sandy beach on Lake Michigan. Just gorgeous!! Very nice people to deal with also.
Incredibly clean and well equipped with a perfect view of the beautiful beach and all the amenities you would need, and very close to sturgeon bay. Kindling was also provided as well, though we didn't use it. Also incredibly quiet, perfect for a getaway. Shower is quite small so just keep that in mind.
