About this property

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.

Daybreak Shores is a super comfortable house with beautiful views and great amenities. I would highly recommended staying here with or without a pup. Although our pup loved the yard and looking out the windows.

Amazing house in a perfect location! The home was fully stocked, the beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of room for everyone. We loved the beautiful beach, easy water access, and relaxing by the campfire under the moonlight. Check-in was easy, communication was excellent, and everything exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again!

If you are planning on spending time in Door County, this is absolutely the best place to stay! The location is close enough to everything available in Door County while still being far enough away if you want to escape the congestion of the area. Open the windows and let the sound of the Lake Michigan waves in! The house is clean, comfortable, and relaxing. The yard, beach and fire pit are the best in Door County. I have already made reservations for another stay at Greg’s fantastic lake house.

When I opened the door I was thrilled to see a very neat, clean, great space and floorplan. The air conditioning was top notch and working well, The beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked, and grill in perfect shape. We spent most the days on the deck, the firepit, and on the beach. It's a VERY quiet area. And about 10 minutes at least from anything, which we LOVED. So if you are looking for secluded, beachfront, dark skies at night, very relaxed setting, this is it. Our host was super fast to reply with anything I needed, which was pretty much nothing. But I still like to communicate if just to be respectful of their home and our experience.

One of our most favorite stays! Spent the weekend in a beautiful house on the beach and got to sleep in and take mid day naps. Couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful weekend. The host made everything easy for us at check in and check out. I’ve referred this place to many others already!

My husband and I stayed here over Valentine's Day weekend, and we had a whole floor more than we needed, so we'll have to bring the kids next time. :) Making coffee in the morning and sipping it while watching the lake was so peaceful. What a treat to be within steps of Lake Michigan!We also enjoyed our time in Sturgeon Bay at the Fire and Ice Festival. The house was conveniently about 15 minutes away, and it was a pretty drive. We'll be back!

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.
