About this property

Outstanding SAND BEACH at Boyer Beach House, Spectrum Fiber Optics, Quiet Area!

Contact Becky! During Peak Season Boyer Beach House books Saturday to Saturday, we have a 3-day minimum during our off-peak season.

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 Bay House - which sleeps 8 -gorgeous sunsets (VRBO#1866692) please visit us there as well!!

Quiet and incredible

Location! This gem sits right across from Lake Michigan. I walked the jetty every morning where you can get a front row to the most incredible sun rise over Lake Michigan. It was off season when I visited in April and no one was out, had the entire beach to myself. The house has everything. Very clean. Stocked with games with a beautiful forest behind the house. Will definitely be staying again.

Exactly as advertised

We had a great time staying here for Thanksgiving. It was just our family of four, and I can't say enough about the location. Despite the cold weather, we spent hours walking on the beach and hiking in the nature preserve nearby. Everything was clean, it was warm even in the freezing cold, and Becky sent us an incredibly detailed list of do's, don'ts and things to do in the area. Would definitely recommend, we may try to come back again when it is warm out to enjoy the beach without 5 layers!

Another Great Stay at Boyer's Beach House

My husband and I, along with our Golden Retriever, Katie, have stayed here three times now and continue to love it! We were especially impressed this time when, after discovering not long after our arrival that the microwave wasn't working, we called Becky and she had a new microwave delivered to us within an hour on a Saturday evening! We really appreciated her GREAT customer service and look forward to staying here again! Linda

Perfection on Lake Michigan

This place has so much to offer for a fun, comfortable lakeside stay. On warm days, there are lawn games (croquet, beanbag toss, and more) available. When the water is calm enough, kayaks and SUP's. There is all the beachside furniture needed for sunbathing or sitting around the campfire you could possibly need, and on rainy days, games, puzzles, books, DVD's, and even a pool table that can be converted into ping-pong. We've rented a number of VRBO properties through the years, and this beach home stacks up as one of the best in our experience. The kitchen is decently appointed for a rental home affording all the tools, pot & pans and accessories to prepare basic meals, and the beds and linens are comfortable and well cared for. Becky is a fantastic, hands-on and super responsive hostess. Thanks so much for the opportunity to stay with you! We hope to return next year for a week when the weather will be warm enough to take better advantage of beachside hours.

The Perfect Get-Away

We’ve been renting lake houses 2x per year for years and this is the first one that we were instantly comfortable. It's the perfect size and the location is just out of reach of any noise. The rooms were large with giant closets and the kitchen is set up perfectly for two people to cook at the same time. Everything had a quality feel and I wasn't afraid to use anything. These are also the most attentive owners of anywhere we've stayed.

Location!

We have never been to Door County before. We took my parents here for their 50th wedding anniversary and we had a great time seeing all the sites around Sturgeon bay. One thing we loved a lot about the place, is the private beach, so relaxing and definitely quiet and private. We had a great experience for visiting Door County for the first time.

Would absolutely recommend this place! The location is beautiful. The beach being right out the front door makes the stay, that’s for sure! The owners have supplied so many great perks, from the beach furniture and outdoor recreation items to the washer and dryer. The house is spacious for a family of three and a furry friend. Very quiet and nice neighborhood, walking distance to a great hiking trail.

Door County Wine Weekend

We stayed at Boyer Beach House for our 15th annual wine outing. (Two mother/daughters and a Frenchie.) The cabin was the perfect size and very well kept. It has a very cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The beach directly across the very private road was beautiful and the sound of the waves that can be heard the moment you walk outside and even from inside at times made our stay even more enjoyable. The views walking along the beach and road were spectacular. We were within very reasonable driving distance of several amazing wineries, shops and restaurants. We had the most amazing weekend and hope to be back in the future! 100% recommend staying at Boyer Beach House!

Packer Road Trip

The setting is beautiful, sandy Lake Michigan beach, 100 yards from the house. The house is well maintained and comfortable for two couples. Great hiking area. Good location to explore Door County and Sturgeon Bay is charming. A little over an hour drive to Lambeau and what is best, a 75 minute ride after the game versus the hike back to Milwaukee. Becky was very helpful.

Great Location!!

This was our second stay here and we've already booked our third! We love how roomy and comfortable this house is and its quiet, peaceful location. A lightly travelled lane is all that separates the house from a beautiful (also quiet!) beach on Lake Michigan. We happily spent many hours relaxing on the beach and enjoying the water view in the Adirondack chairs that the Boyers have thoughtfully provided for their guests on their stretch of the beach. We can't wait to go back!

Family get away

A well kept typical 80’s ranch home . The house was basic accommodations with no frills but had access to great outdoor activities. It was easy to find and located close to anything you may have needed . 7 miles to town if you needed groceries. The neighborhood was quiet during our stay . The water is across the road ; but easy to get to and you have a view of it from the front room. The beach area was nice for young kids to play on and easy access to the water . The water was cold and prevented a lot of swimming for our family ; but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the beach. Just a short walk down the beach took us to the Sturgeon Bay canal , coast guard station , historic lighthouse and break waters. You also found the land trust in the same short walk down the beach that allowed for public hiking trails. At night when the kids went to bed we enjoyed the cable tv and free WiFi. Our family would visit again to take advantage of the outdoor activities and location .

Idyllic Location

My husband and I, along with our Golden Retriever, recently returned from a five-night holiday getaway at the Boyer Beach House. While we were disappointed that the mild winter weather wasn't conducive to our original plans to do some snowshoeing up in beautiful Door County, the Boyer Beach House itself was everything we had hoped it would be. Its location on a wide, long sandy beach on the shores of Lake Michigan gave us ample opportunities for enjoyable walks with our Golden. The house's very nice brick, wood-burning fireplace, well-supplied kitchen, and beautiful hardwood floors all made for a very comfortable stay for the three of us. We, in fact, enjoyed our stay so much that we've already made reservations for a return visit!

About Mike and Becky
When thinking about this write-up for VRBO we were surprised that our Door County story started almost 35 years ago. We first visited Door County to see about repairs for an outboard motor for an old Boston Whaler. (long story) During the brief visit, we were amazed by the harbor towns, coastlines, and rural open spaces. I remember saying “I thought this was only on the east coast”. Every Door County town has its own special charm and unique attractions and best of all, everything is so close that you can have a great Door County experience over a long weekend. However, there really is so much to do, without feeling rushed, we recommend at least a week stay every year for the next 30 years to fully appreciate Door County.
Our honeymoon was a 14-day trip around Lake Michigan on the same old Boston Whaler (motor repaired) our plan was to visit all the highly touted harbor towns on the Michigan side and then cross Lake Michigan, which I don’t recommend doing this in a 21-foot boat, spending the second half of our trip exploring Door County. That was only our second time in Door County, but our experience confirmed that Door County was a very special place; we found Door County exceptional. Numerous historic harbor towns in close proximity, 300 miles of varied shoreline of rock, bluff, and sand, thousands of acres of State and County Parks on Lake Michigan (and Green Bay), and an iconic rural landscape. After years of visiting Door County, we were lucky enough to find a small house in a unique location of Sturgeon Bay and have been renting Boyer Beach House to vacationers for over 10 years. We have found this experience to be very positive and fulfilling by being a small part of helping people enjoy Door County.

Why they chose this property

Boyer Beach House is located in Sturgeon Bay on Lake Michigan, the quiet side. The walks along our quiet sandy beach while viewing the lighthouse or sitting around our bonfire on the beach while watching the stars and boats come in after a long day of fishing is exceptional. Nothing beats it, please read our reviews by our guests and you will understand what a lovely spot we have to share with you.

What makes this property unique

Boyer Beach House is a year-around home, wonderful wood burning fireplace inside, 2 bed, 2 full baths. Minutes from Sturgeon Bay but located on 3.5 acres on Lake Michigan. 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 sugar sand and the lake bottom is hard sand, gradual depth, great for kids, and pets too! Come get away from it all.
