Boyer Beach House- SANDY Lake Michigan beach, firepit, stars, you get to RELAX!!

Contact Becky! During Peak Season Boyer Beach House books Saturday to Saturday, we have a 2 or 3-day minimum depending on off-peak season months.

PLEASE NOTE: VRBO has started using AI to update items such as amenities or attractions nearby without the Hosts approval. If you are interested in specific amenities please ask me (Becky) and I will confirm. The other day VRBO said I had a pool at our Boyer Log Cabin (I wish). We want our guests to have a great stay with no surprises or disappointments, so if you see a Pool listed anywhere, sorry, we don't have one - thanks!

We sleep 4 humans (no exceptions) and we allow you to bring ONE (1) dog for a fee.

Boyer Beach House is a Four Season Home (2 Bed - 2 bath), cedar-sided ranch with a great fireplace, full updated kitchen with dishwasher, 3.5 acres, 2-car attached garage, small dunes, and 190 feet of Lake Michigan shoreline. Free Spectrum Fiber Optics too!

The house is located on one of the most rustic roads in Door County, South Lake Michigan Drive. It is a 1.5-car wide lane (newly paved 2024) that meanders along the lake shore for a couple of miles, the speed limit along our stretch is 15 mph. Very, very low-traffic road, either someone really wants to drive down this road or they have a place here. It is not part of the tourist trail.

The house is 40 feet away from our expansive sand beach, (across the small rustic lane) the total sandy area is approximately 1 acre. The lake shore is super sandy and the lake bottom is hard sand, gradual depth, great for kids, and your (leashed) dog too!

Boyer Beach House is located towards the northern end of a sandy bay that totals just over a mile. At the north end is where you will find the Sturgeon Bay shipping canal, lighthouse, and the Door County Land Trust Preserve which has 400+ acres of forest, dunes, and walking trails.

Our lakefront is perfect for kayaks, windsurfing, swimming, sailing, SUPing, and boogie boarding. Very easy to launch any 'quiet' water activities.

To the rear of the house is about 2 acres of pines, birch, and cedars that you can explore. Beyond our land are hundreds of acres of privately owned, but undeveloped land. This area is teeming with wildlife. It is very common to see deer, porcupines, turkeys, or foxes walking in the area or right down the middle of South Lake Michigan Drive.

The house is an extremely well-built ranch, circa 1960. There are two generous-sized bedrooms and plenty of closet space. Bedroom #1 is 16x14, with huge closets, a dresser, and a Queen size bed. Bedroom #2 is 12x10, with a small dresser, huge closets, and two Twin beds. A full bathroom on the main level and a 2nd full bathroom located in the basement.

Our front room has a woodburning fireplace and the living room area with a view of Lake Michigan. We have a Smart TV and Spectrum Fiber Optics.

The full kitchen is updated and well-equipped to prepare any meals to be served in the separate dining area. We have a CHARCOAL grill for outside use.

The basement is unfinished but here you will find a pool table, the second full bathroom, and a full-sized washer and dryer.

We do allow you to bring your well-behaved dog for a $90 fee; please don't forget to include your furry family member when booking, thank you! We ask that you always leash your dog when walking outside. Please respect our neighbor's peace and quiet and do not leave your dog tied to a lead or sitting on the beach barking all day. Please do not bring your dog if they are going to just sit there and bark; that's no fun for your furry family member or our neighbors. Thank you.

The attached garage is available for you to use. Back in your fishing boat, keep your bikes dry and easily pack/unpack your car. We have (3) Kayaks and (1) Stand-Up Paddleboard (seasonal use of course) along with life jackets and paddles for you to use. We hope you don't expect the Four Seasons Hotel; we try our best and hope you enjoy your vacation! Blue Chair Capital offers a 5% discount off the rental amount to military members and veterans; please present your proper ID.

Door County, the "Cape Cod of the Midwest", receives about 2 million visitors every year. Our location is away from the "tourist trail" and makes a good home base to easily explore all of Door County by car.

We are 10 minutes from Sturgeon Bay shops, restaurants, and the town waterfront walkway. There are many boat launch facilities and many transient options within minutes. Also, we are in the middle of one of the best fisheries in the world. Salmon, small-mouth bass, walleye, perch, and even northern - there is always a fishing option within a few minutes by boat.

We have 2 other rentals, both located in Egg Harbor, Boyer Log Cabin - on 40 acres, sleeps 6 (VRBO#1214889), and Boyer Point Cottage - which sleeps 8 -gorgeous sunsets (VRBO#1866692) please visit us there as well!!

Lovely house in a quiet location, but convenient to Sturgeon Bay and the rest of the peninsula. The beach was amazing to walk along the lake during the day and gaze at the stars at night. The house is clean and comfortable, and Becky is a terrific host, ensuring that we didn't have any problems during our stay!

We love being so close to the shipping canal, we could sit at the bon fire every day if we could, and watch the boats and ships come and go. It's great to see the Tall Ships come in!! Like pirates on the horizon!! And our cleaning crew (Polished to Perfection) is the best around - hands down!!! Hope to have you visit again - thank you
