The property is a good location for shopping 3rd Avenue shops and walking to all the great restaurants in downtown Sturgeon Bay. The location is also perfect for day trips up the peninsula and other locations south, such as Algoma. The property was clean and spacious. Kelly was a great host. We enjoyed our stay.

Delightful apartment

We liked the vintage feel of the apartment very much. Despite good instructions, getting into the apartment/parking was a bit confusing, albeit it was at night and dark. But we found our way and loved the location downtown near everything!

Perfect gem!

This property had us smiling! It was so charming, with perfect little touches and beautiful finishings. It was like stepping into a pristine 1970's cottage. It was a vintage structure, and everything was in fabulous condition. The sleeping spaces were perfect for our two couples. The king sized bed in the common space was tucked back and there were doors between the common space and bedroom. The bed in the bedroom is smaller, a queen or double. We are used to a king, but it worked for us for the weekend!Highly recommend for a little bungalow in the heart of Sturgeon Bay!

Cute retro 2nd floor apartment

We enjoyed staying at this cute 2nd floor apartment on Sturgeon Bay’s 3rd Avenue! The exposed brick wall, original wood floors and retro bathroom tile were charming. We like having a kitchen when we travel, and this apartment had everything we needed!

Fun Apartment in the Heart of Town

My friends and I had the most wonderful time at the apartment. It was spacious for the three of us. It was decorated adorably. Comfortable and cozy. My tip: read the directions carefully as to how to check in/get in.

Great property!

The property was exactly what we needed for our family. We had enough room to spread out and we were able to walk to restaurants and the water. I only took one star off because the check-in directions weren’t clear, but the property owner was very quick to reply! Overall, I would highly recommend this place!

Weekend Home

Went back to hometown to catch up with best friends and it happened to be Father’s Day weekend so our 19 year old son joined us. It seems the businesses that the place was “between” have changed since the listing. Once we found it, the check in went well. The upper apartment was a perfect size and location for our plans. There were a few cleaning issues that were not horrible but noticeable. Some cobwebs, dust and the bathroom fan was very dusty. Faucets had some hard water scales. Again, not more than our own house on any given week but should be checked better by cleaning staff, as part of fee covers cleaning. Truly, the thing that was most bothersome to us were the multiple signs in support of certain groups and, to some extent, political views. We go on vacation to relax and get away from world issues. We feel that everyone should be welcome to rent and no group/s should be singled out. Advertise that in the listing if you want but I don’t want to walk in and see things that separate and divide.

Charming apartment

This spacious apartment in the heart of Sturgeon Bay was a perfect base camp. Very clean, cheerfully decorated, and well stocked. The only drawback for some folks may be the stairs leading up to the apartment. Otherwise, no hesitation recommending!

Fun Downtown Location

YAYS: Cute upper apartment. Fun to be above 3rd St. Lots of cool mid-century modern decor. Small, but main open concept room makes it feel big. Nice style. Big TV. Air conditioner kept the place very comfortable during 90 degree weather. Good shower - good hot water. Wood floors. Comfortable bed. NEYS: Steps leading up to apartment could use some straightening/repair. Kitchen and bathroom are very small. Kinda a hodge podge of dishes. Shallow sink. No dishwasher. Old appliances. With an upgraded kitchen...this would be even better. While the vintage furniture is cool, it's not very comfortable. One big comfy couch worked in would be a nice addition.
