Our first time in Door county. We had a great time and the house was perfect! Plenty of space and the cleanest rental property we’ve stayed in. Not far from Sturgeon Bay Main Street area & the rest of the peninsula is very easy to get to and from.

Clean and comfortable!

Loved the quiet location and it was very clean. We wanted a waterfront location and this worked well. The only thing we did not realize is there is another small property right in front on the water that has the water access. There wasn't anyone staying there so we were thankful we could sit along the water by the smaller VRBO home. Wonderful, responsive hosts!

Bay view

Beautiful spot on the bay. 200 feet from old time northern bar/restaurant, good food and great drink, and nice people. The house was very big, clean, quiet, and in a great location. Everything you would need for any length of stay. Loved the whole experience.

Wonderful Waterfront Home

Thenell's Beach House was an amazing place to stay!!! It felt like home while we were away on vacation. Everything was exceptional...clean, comfortable, well stocked kitchen, beautifully decorated, spacious bedrooms, great views of the bay from the shared beach area, and a welcoming yard/deck/campfire area. The property management company was very helpful and prompt with a question I had after booking the property. We can't say enough good things about this VRBO property, we would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Retreat

Our friends from Arizona wanted to hike indoor County. I am so happy we found Thennel’s Beach House. It was perfect. Clean. Well equipped kitchen & fabulous sunsets. Our only comment would be: we were there during a very hot time so greatly appreciated the AC. It would be helpful if there were some ceiling fans in the bedrooms to help circulate the air. Other than that, it was perfect.! Jeanne

Very Nice house

The actual property was better than the pictures. Super clean and looks newly renovated. Location was great, a few miles out of town but perfect for us. Access to the bay for fishing or swimming (water is cold). Plenty of room for a family of 4-6. Great to walk out to the back deck in the early morning and enjoy nature or come back and relax after a day out.

Beautiful Location

We enjoyed our stay at Thenell’s Beach House. The house was spacious, clean and in a beautiful neighborhood. The water was just steps away. Our door code didn’t work upon arrival but the management company was super fast to respond, quickly resolved and followed up later. Highly recommend!

Leaf peeping in the Door County Pennisula

It was perfect for the 2 couples; rental used as a base to explore Door County. Kitchen was well stocked with a variety of dishes / cooking pots /pans, etc. Liked the plastic glasses for sitting around the fire or at the beach access. House is very nice and clean. Property management quickly responded to a very minor issue with an inoperable coffee pot and missing coffee mugs.

Nice place but…

House was nice and clean but it took around an hour to get in because the code they provided didn’t work. There was some confusion about which house we were staying at. Then the back door lock wouldn’t work and they never came to fix it so we were unable to lock up at night or when we left.

Peaceful, enchanting, fun!

Very convenient along the bay shore just moments from downtown Sturgeon Bay. Lovely water views from house and big yard. It was a wonderful updated home that had a well-equipped kitchen, lovely, comfortable furniture and beautiful water views. Really thoughtful decorating touches! Although just my husband and I this time , we definitely will return again either with another couple or our grandchildren. Thank you!
