8 Miles Of Sand Beach To Explore ~ Outstanding Sunset Views Over The Lake!
Walk 4 miles of empty beach in either direction or bike down a wooded road laced with million dollar homes. Our property is located in the most rural and secluded section of the most desirable Midwestern destination. Bikes and beach toys are provided with this totally equipped home which was built for large group rentals.
Children love to dig a waterhole in the beach, play with the odd homemade wooden toys or watch movies until they fall asleep in their rooms. Adults enjoy sharing breakfast for two on the roof porch or beach swing. The night sky is lit with stars while your family roasts marshmallows over a beach fire.
The beach house sits on top of a dune surrounded with pine trees. Large windows make viewing the lake a treat from each common area. Seamlessly, the stone design blends into the landscape making your transformation from the elegant inside into the dune environment an unforgettable experience. 4 kings, 3 queens, l small daybed, 2 full futons, cots and inflatables

Mary's Beach house was the perfect place for a family vacation. Had enough sleeping spaces, enough rooms that if you needed a little quite time, huge deck and wonderful wonderful beach! Laid back, and comfortable for all!
Beautiful home. This house has a wonderful homey, comfortable feel. We were a party of 11 and there was enough room for all including a large dining room table to play family games on. The house was very well stocked with all necessities and more. Location was great. Short trip to store, yet located on private beachfront lot. We had a group of all ages and all had a wonderful time.

Great Location
Great location on the beach and not far from Sturgeon bay! Great views of the lake and beach. Would definitely stay again! One suggestion would be new couches in the living room.
We’ve been before & will come again as long as Ray & Mary continue to rent! The house is a little dated & full of personal, whimsical touches - not your sterile corporate vrbo stay. But the beach is an unmatched feature among door county rentals. We adore this property and were sad to go. Already looking forward to next year!
Beautiful views of the bay! Relaxed and comfortable space to reunite with old friends. Long walks on the beach to catch up with latest news of our families.
The house is well-designed to take advantage of the lake - the large windows from the dining room, family room, and enclosed porch are fantastic. The deck is also huge and has a great view. This was perfect for our two families for 4, with an unused bedroom to spare! Beds were comfortable, fans in every room, we wished we could have stayed longer.
The house was in a great location within 7 miles of Sturgeon Bay to pick up groceries or go to lunch or dinner. The house has a beautiful view of Lake Michigan and has a long stretch of sandy beach to take walks. The kitchen was well supplied with pots and pans to cook dinners for 12 people. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the house.
This was our second stay and it was just a great as the first. The house is comfortable and cozy, especially on a winter evening with the fire crackling and the waves crashing, and I don't think I would ever tire of the view! We spent a lot of time walking on the beach, picking up shells and pebbles and following deer tracks, and were even greeted on day one with a bald eagle fly-over. All in all, I would totally recommend a stay at Mary's Beach House!
This was our second time staying at this great beach house. The place is huge, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The upper floor bedroom is like sleeping in a giant treehouse! There is a nice wide beach and you can walk a long way in either direction. The decor is very "Door County" and the hosts are really responsive. We'll be back!
This "cottage" was the perfect place for our growing family. It had plenty of room for our 4-generation group. The beach is fantastic- clean and walkable for miles! We loved the vintage bikes (in good condition) and rode up and down Glidden Drive several times. The place is filled with lots of homey and quirky touches which made it interesting. And there is a great collection of VHS tapes and DVDs to watch if you can't be on the beach!
What a wonderful setting! Three generations were kept very happy on this beautiful spot. There are so many interesting things to see in the area that we were on the go most days, but we decided to spend our last full day just enjoying the sand and the water, roasting marshmallows, building sand castles, playing games and walking on the sand. This was a great time to build cousin memories and bond even more with siblings and kids.
Great view, great beach but the house definitely needed to be cleaned much more thoroughly!! Needs exhaust fan in kitchen and hand towels in bathrooms. We still had a great time with the family and would go back again (just hoping it’s cleaned better)
This is an older property with lots of character that perfectly suited us. The sand beach is gorgeous and perfect for walking. The house is spacious and private. It was cool, but our dog loved the swimming in Lake Michigan. The neighborhood is quiet and our old biking legs appreciated the flatter roads in the area. It is beautiful in Door County and this area along Glidden is one of the most beautiful. Mary and Ray Spangler are great hosts who respond immediately if there is a question or problem. For us this is a five star property and we are already looking forward to coming back here next July.

About the host
Hosted by Mary and Ray Spangler
Ray and I are retired teachers and have owned the property since the summer of 92. There are two previous owners. The first built a 3 bedroom 1 bath in the early 60s; the second added a den and bedroom and bath as well as a deck and screened in sun room in the 80s We started renting in 93 and did an addition to the property in 2003 adding a glassed in sunroom and a 1/2 bath downstairs and an upper story with full bath, large bedroom with 2 beds and mini kitchen: fridge, sink and microwave.
Why they chose this property
I walked down the main hallway and saw the beach and fell in love.
What makes this property unique
The house has 120 ft of sand beach, is quiet and only 6 miles from Sturgeon Bay with its shopping and fine restaurants. Pottowatomee and White Fish Dunes State Parks are nearby and very worth a visit as well as are the other towns and parks on the peninsula about 20 minutes North.
