Beautiful and spacious place. Very clean and had everything that we needed for a mini family trip. Will definitely reserve the place again next year.

Thip A. - Posted: 6/17/2025

We loved the open concept of the living room, kitchen and dining area. Beds were very comfortable. Home was very clean. The side yard is close to a busy road. Don’t hear to much when sleeping but would be an issue for yard events. They provide Collegan water as well water has a funny tast.

Shirley - Posted: 6/2/2025

Shirley, Thank you for your feedback-we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the open layout, clean space, and comfortable beds! As noted, we go the extra mile by providing a Culligan water dispenser to ensure guests have high-quality drinking water, even though the home is on a private well (which is common in the area). We appreciate the review.

A few hiccups, code to get in didn’t work. Would have been nice to have outside water turned on. Some things like towels and washcloths stained with makeup, dingy and gray, didn’t feel clean. Heat vent in bathroom rusted from overspray of pee next to toilet. Stained dishes that cleaned up after a couple washes. Back step to deck is a significant drop, almost fell twice. Could be a better 2 step stop instead of one drop. Other than that, was a little close to the main Hwy 42 so we were a little concern about our dogs, but bushes and trees made a pretty good barrier. Back yard was just nice. The Coral Hill rd was very nice, little to no traffic, great for walking the dogs. House was clean and everything accessible, sheets clean and crisp, mattress was very comfortable! The driveway was large and great for parking our trailer in which we hauled our 64 GTO. Great location to be centrally located for towns north and south. Overall thanks to the owners for allowing us to stay, and price was reasonable.

Beautiful spot. Everything was as described. Only thing that it was missing was central air. Got stuffy inside with having 6 in the living area.

Jordan - Posted: 8/17/2024

Thank you for your review and feedback! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and we appreciate your feedback on the lack of A/C.

Good house , clean and spacious .
The top write up says Sister Bay , the details the tell the house is in Ephraim.
It is in central Ephraim , not close to any beach or walking distance to anything as it is right next to the highway.

Our stay was the first chilly weekend in Door County, I believe, and so the fuse box still had the breaker for the furnace turned off. It took a little bit of communication to figure out that we needed to flip the switch, but once we did, the place warmed up and everything went smoothly. Communication was great in helping us get that settled, and when we had to unexpectedly extend our stay by 1 night, they were able to confirm availability quickly. I appreciated the responsiveness!

Jaell - Posted: 10/10/2023

Location was perfect. Clean and well stocked. Got to see deer in the back yard the morning we left. Would stay there again if in the area.

Great location, 8 minute drive to Sister bay, 10 minutes from Peninsular state park, and 5 minutes from downtown Ephraim. So much to do in the area. Great back yard with a fire pit and plenty of space to park. It has everything you need for a getaway and the convenient location right off the main road is worth the money.

Alyssa - Posted: 9/4/2023

The house was clean, the yard was nice and big. We had fun and it is a beautiful home. The downstairs shower head was not great, and it could of just been us but in the description it said there was 4 common beds, we found 2 and a cot. I assume the couch was the 4th that they counted but it wasn't a pull out.

Erica - Posted: 7/16/2023

Hi Erica, we are glad to hear you liked the home! Appreciate all your feedback and wanted to note that besides the beds in the bedrooms, there is a trundle daybed as well. Hope we may have a chance to host you again sometime.

Simple Life Rentals staff

We had a great time at Captain's Quarters. The house is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you might need. There are many different areas for everyone to enjoy as they like: a cozy living-room, a deck with table, chairs, and a grill, a fire pit, a large lawn area, a porch. We used them all! We liked that the kitchen was well furnished with all sorts of pots, pans, utensils and appliances. We cooked many family meals! The location is very convenient, just a few minutes from beach, shops, restaurants and Peninsula State Park. My only suggestion for this house would be to provide one starter jug of drinking water. The well water is safe to drink but does not taste good. We loved this house and hope to return next summer!

We had a wonderful time staying at Captain's Quarters. It was very clean and spacious. The kitchen is huge and well stocked making it easy to cook your own meals. The location was perfect. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer.

Therese C. - Posted: 6/30/2023

Please come back and stay with us again soon!

Simple Life Rentals staff

The lawn was too overgrown so we could not use the yard for games or a fire, also the directions said the kitchen would have garbage bags which it did not. The location is directly off a busy street so the price seemed a little high. The inside was nice however which made up a little bit for the yard/location.

Jessica - Posted: 6/18/2023

Hi Jessica, thank you for letting us know of your concerns with the landscape. We are following up with our maintenance crew accordingly. We’d love an opportunity to host you again to show you how responsive we are to ensuring a five star stay.

Thank you so pleased to hear it met all your expectations from booking to arrival!

Simple Life Rentals staff

Location was great. As senior women, we were disappointed in the cleanliness—- esp the bathrooms. The outside/yard needed bushes trimmed and a general clean up. Grill lid was broken.

Mary B. - Posted: 10/13/2022

Hi Mary, thank you for letting us know the cleaning did not meet your expectations. We have followed up with the lead property manager for further follow ups with these items to be addressed. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the location!

Simple Life Rentals staff

Overall the property is in good condition and was enjoyable. The cabin was comfortable and well-appointed.

Verified traveler - Posted: 10/9/2022

Thank you, James! We appreciate that so much.

Simple Life Rentals staff

The property was adequate. So many rules were posted in the info sent to us which was fine, but the property was not THAT great. The stove/oven wasn’t particularly clean and the bed and bath linens were very worn. Not even a mattress cover on the king bed. In addition(the one rainy evening we returned early), the tv was very limited in channels available. We were just surprised as all the info sent prior to our arrival led us to believe this was really upscale. Not the case. It is well worn. Location was good-but again, not spectacular. We will return to Door County for sure, but for this amount of $ for 4 nights, we can do much better.

Jean C. - Posted: 9/26/2022

Thank you for letting us know the home didn't meet all your expectations upon arrival. We are sorry for that experience. Glad that you enjoyed the location and overall time! We would be happy to have an opportunity to host you again, even if at another location.

Simple Life Rentals staff

Great place, but expect a lot of spiders. I thought maybe it was just spider season, but we are checked into another Airbnb not that far from this one and there are only a few tiny ones. With an expensive cleaning charge, I would assume pest control is in it.

Dana - Posted: 9/22/2022

Sorry to hear about your experience not meeting your expectations. We have forwarded the concerns of spiders to our management team so we can look into professional services to assist in managing them during this time of the year moving forward. We hope you enjoyed your overall time/stay and that we can host you again.

Very comfortable and convenient to everything in the area.

This home was perfect for our short trip to Door County! Super spacious and the layout was great for the 4 of us celebrating a birthday. Loved the ease of parking and close to all the major roads in Door. It was nice to comeback to a relaxing place after a long day of activities. The home was stocked with everything we needed. Hope to return soon.

Simple Life Rentals staff

We enjoyed our week-long stay here. It’s a great location in Door County. It’s very clean and has lots of space. The kitchen is well stocked. The BBQ grill outside was super. The property is well maintained and there’s lots of parking. The only downside is with the road noise as the house is along the busy road between Ephraim and Sister Bay. Just a note to be aware of — there is only one bathroom upstairs. It is connected to the room with the two double beds as the bedroom with the king does not have its own bathroom. However, there is another bathroom with a shower stall on the main level. Even with these downsides, we would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.

A wonderful home. The location was perfect for us. The home is charming, fully stocked with everything you and your family or friends would need. They even provided plenty of fire wood for the fire pit which we had a blast making smores. Everything was thought of. Thank you for sharing your home.

This is a great spot central to the Western side of the Door County Peninsula - just minutes from Sister Bay and Ephraim! The house was very clean and well decorated! The den on the main floor could be a great additional sleeping space for older kids/adults but doesn’t have a door on it.

Nicole - Posted: 10/2/2021

Thank you for the great review, Nicole. We are so glad to hear you enjoyed the location! Thank you for the suggestion, we will most definitely pass that along.

Lovely, meticulously clean home. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you could need. The beds were comfortable. Very nice washer/Dryer. We did but our own drinking water as faucet water had strange color and taste—only concern.

Thank you for sharing your great experience! We're very happy you were able to enjoy the back yard and had a great visit.

Simple Life Rentals staff

My daughters and I rented this house as it’s near my dad’s house and we wanted to be close by. The house has everything we needed, and the beds and pillows were very comfortable and there were plenty of blankets and towels and necessities in the bath and kitchens. It was nice that the beds in the smaller room were doubles - my daughters didn’t complain about sharing the room and everyone was happy with their bed. The master bedroom is quite small but nicely furnished and there’s plenty of room in the closet. The shower felt a little dated but it was nice enough. Checking in and out was a breeze and they were easy-going. The yard is very pretty, however the big draw back for me is that the window to the master bedroom opens onto the main road and the traffic sounds at night are terrible. This may not be an issue if you use the a/c window units or are there when the windows are closed, but I was awoken by traffic every night. It’s too bad because it’s otherwise perfect for a family of four.

Karen - Posted: 8/2/2021

Nestled on a semi wooded lot, this newly redone house is perfect for a weekend get away . Although not on the water, the location is ideal as it is between Ephraim and Sister Bay and not far from Fish Creek. It's most affordable when used for eight people.... at four plus a toddler, it seemed pricey.
