Clean property, easy entry. There was only two of us so the property was bigger than we needed as far as bedrooms and living space. The location is walkable to town and to the river walk. The area is quiet, so sleeping was easy. The home is stocked well with dishes and supplies.

Cottage was very nice. Kitchen fully stocked. Lots of towels. Nice sized and updated living room and dining room. Bedrooms are very small. No closets or dressers to put anything. Bathrooms were very nice except need some towel bars. No place to hang a towel. Location was good!

6/10 Okay

Stay was okay

The house was cute and clean and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils, etc. The major drawbacks were absolutely no place to put clothes. The hangers on the backs of the doors were semi-useless with trying to close the doors. There could be some shelving put into the bedrooms. The powder room bathroom needed a hook for a towel. The bedrooms all needed better shades. They were all lit up even at night with the streetlights. The place was overpriced for its lack of size and comfort.

Comfortable and convenient

We were very comfortable in this house. Enjoyable main rooms with plenty of room for many people. Bedrooms are small, so if you are having 8 people sleep there, you will have to move the two beds to other rooms. The hostess is very nice and helpful.

Super cute spot with plenty of space!

This was the perfect spot for a gathering of friends! Plenty of beds available, so everyone had their own space. It was pretty rainy during our stay, but we had a ton of fun staying in and enjoying the board games provided. Great location, within walking distance of a grocery store and a diner! We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy, Convenient, and Comfortable

We highly recommend Compass Cove. Located close to downtown Sturgeon Bay with a perfect little breakfast place, not even a block away. The home was beautifully decorated with all the amenities we needed. The King size bed was very comfortable as well as the furniture. Perfect place for your Door County get away! The host was very responsive and helpful too!

Nice getaway

Very nice home in a great location. Surprisingly quiet for being so close to the center of Sturgeon Bay! This would be a really great place for a larger group. Communication with property manager lagged a bit, but the manger was very helpful when the reply came. Overall no serious problems, and location is excellent. A nice accommodation!

Quaint and adorable little coastal town

The property was adorable. Quirky and charming. Very clean and fairly well appointed. The coffee machine would be such an easy thing to upgrade. It’s old and beat up and took an hour to make a cup a coffee. Location was perfect. Loved being able to walk over to the town everyday. Super easy driving to all the neighboring towns. Definitely fell in love with sturgeon bay and would stay at this home again for sure! Thank you for a great stay!
