We had a wonderful stay at this condo! The space was spotless, beautifully decorated and felt very spacious. The pool was absolutely perfect for relaxing, and we loved how everything — shops, restaurants and the beach — was just a short walk away. The location couldn’t have been better. Overall, a fantastic experience and we would definitely stay here again!

Great location! Unfortunately the outside garbage was overflowing when we arrived. It remained by the side door for days until garbage day. This was the entrance by parking. Looked like the bathroom shelves hadn’t been dusted for a while (lack of counter space required us to use them). No nightstands in main bedroom was an inconvenience for cpap machines.

We truly appreciate your kind words about the location and are equally grateful for your honest feedback. We're sorry for the parts of your stay that didn’t meet expectations and will be reviewing everything with our team. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future!

We loved our stay in this spot! It was within walking distance to everything. It was so nice to not have to drive everywhere. We also loved how close it was to Peninsula State Park. We rode our bikes there and around the Sunset loop. Our kids also loved the pool and swam every single day. It was well maintained and clean. Easy to park. We loved it!

Fish Creek Find
We had a great stay and really enjoyed the proximity to everything in Fish Creek and the rest of the peninsula. The kitchen was well stocked and the home was comfortable, cozy, and conveniently located. The only tiny suggestion I'd make would be to have some tissues in the house! That's the only thing I can think to suggest, so that just speaks to a great place overall!

I would highly recommend this location if visiting Fish Creek and Door County.
It was easily walkable to all that Fish Creek has to offer.
It was also an easy and quick drive to Egg Harbor, Ephraim, Sister Bay and Bailey's Harbor.
The space is roomy and very well appointed.
The only issue was the keyless door look was very slow to lock/open. It is not a big issue but be sure to check that the lock actually closes when leaving the property.

VRBO in Door
Very well equipped and appointed. Only the TV was a mystery to us. We weren’t able to watch the olympics as we had wished. Unable to get network or cable channels we were used to. I guess it got us out more.
Ada - Posted: 8/7/2024
We are so happy you have a lovely stay in the home and are sorry you were unable to enable to get the TV to work for your needs. We will perform a review of its capabilities, as well as consider whether written instructions are required for future guests. Thank you again for your review!

Nice Unit and Great Location!
Unit is well maintained and you can’t beat the location. We loved being able to walk to all of our favorite activities: bike rental for PSP, pizza at Wild Tomato, downtown shops and marina, and frozen custard right across the street. Plenty of space to spread out on first floor and all is quiet after 10 pm even during peak season. Would definitely book again.
