This is such a cute house and it was perfect for my husband and I! Location was perfect, close to the restaurants we wanted to try and not far from the beach. Felt like we were definitely part of nature with all the deer and wild turkeys we saw! Would definitely stay here again!!

Blue door was a comfy place and the location can’t be beat—just a 10-15 minute walk to Warren Dunes. Check-in was a snap and communication with the host was top notch. Would stay there again!

Love that the rental is pet-friendly, spacious enough for everyone to spread out a bit, and right next to Warren Dunes state park. We were in and out of the park several times a day to hike, enjoy the beach, and then back for sunset every night. Kitchen is well appointed with lots of pots, pans, and various kitchen utensils and gadgets. Some areas could use cleaning in the kitchen (range hood and cabinet above, dishwasher seal area, toaster), bathroom light fixture, and outside. Fire pit chairs required cleaning before using and the bikes were covered in cob webs and seemed like too much of a hassle to deal with. Probably because it was end of season. I would stay again.

The Blue Door Cottage was the perfect house for my anniversary! So cute, clean and conveniently located right in the middle of all the cute towns and right next to the Dunes. Justin provides a wonderful house and experience for guests and we would stay again and again. The bed was so comfortable! We only used the main br but I imagine the other bed was just as comfy. Spacious house. Private property. Cool yard with a fire pit. We saw deer and wild turkeys! Overall A! Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Blue Door! Really centrally located to Warren Dunes and other local spots. We appreciated the amenities in the cabin such as the cooking utensils, the games and DVDs, and the beach equipment. This is a nice, quiet spot we'd certainly stay in again!

The Blue Door Cottage was just the right fit for what we were looking for. It was very clean and comfortable. The backyard was lovely and you could even enjoy it in the rain, as there is a cover on some of the deck. It is situated close to all that area has to offer…great restaurants, ice cream, swimming at the Warren Dunes, etc. And it is a very dog friendly area.

Great little house in a quiet neighborhood- everything you could need and a 15 minute walk to the lake if you don’t want to pay the 11 per day park fee. Be aware that wireless service is pretty miserable in the area, but luckily there is great Wi-Fi at the home. Dunes are fabulous and the parks in the area are kept spotless.
