Bordering Whitefish Dunes St Park, Best Sand Beach, Aug 9-16 & 16-23 just 2990!

Our #1 goal is to do everything possible for you to enjoy a 5-Star experience at our beautiful home on the border of the Whitefish Dunes State Park. Our area is a Kayak lovers dream come true with a beautiful sand beach that has a very gradual drop off so WE INCLUDE 2 KAYAKS with all Summer rentals.

The Whitefish Dunes Beach Haven was custom built in the late '90s. It is beautifully equipped and can accommodate up to 10 people or more. We are fortunate to have the absolutely nicest sand beach in Door County. We are NOT DRIECTLY ON THE WATER but our private beach is just a 3-minute walk (or 500 feet) from our front door. Take a walk on the beautiful beach or hike or bike right out your front door! We are located in an exclusive, secluded area, yet we are only 15-20 minutes from the quaint village shops and wineries that Door County offers.

Our Rec Room offers Ping Pong, a coffee table with backgammon and cribbage, 48 inch Smart TV, and a pull-out queen size sofa for groups that wish to add a 4th private bedroom.

Our large great room offers a beautiful cathedral ceiling, fireplace, plenty of comfortable seating, 42" flat panel Smart TV with an HDMI cable for your laptop.

Large Kitchen offers a microwave, glass cook top, full-size oven, 2 full-size refrigerators (1 in the garage), dishwasher, coffee maker, coffee grinder, toaster, blender, and lots of cabinets, counter space and a variety of spices.

Our Sunroom/dining room facing Lake Michigan has 8 skylights over a dining table that seats up to 10 plus high chairs. In addition, our snack bar seats 3.

We have a Huge Back Deck with beautiful Western exposures with natural charcoal grill and seating for 10 or more.

Everyone loves hanging out at our Fire Pit overlooking beautiful Whitefish Dunes State Park. Awesome views of the Big Dipper and Little Dipper in the Summer.

Laundry room with washer, dryer and a laundry sink.

SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS:

Bedroom #1: Master Bedroom (second floor) with Queen bed positioned directly under a sky lite. Smart TV with an HDMI cable for your laptop. Extra-large loft area with a long catwalk that has been used as a stage for shows our kids have put on over the years. Master bath with two-person whirlpool. Shower with massaging jets and 2 shower heads. Climb the ship’s ladder (located in the corner of the bedroom) to access the Crow’s Nest with a panoramic view of the Whitefish Dunes State Park and Lake Michigan.

Bedroom #2 (main floor) 1 Queen and 1 Full Size Bed, dresser & closet. There are 5 windows with a beautiful view of Whitefish Dunes State Park.

Bedroom #3 (main floor) 1 Queen, 1 Twin, 2 dressers, and walk-in closet. Private deck with amazing views of the State Park.

* Bedroom #4 (main floor): For groups that need 4 private sleeping areas the rec room easily becomes a private sleeping area with a pull-out Queen size bed directly under a skylight. Upon request - we can add a Full Size bed. There is also a half bathroom just outside the door.

#5 Open Concept Bedroom on the upper loft with Full-Size Futon Couch. Great spot for kids or for adults that do not need privacy. Beautiful view of the Great Room and Whitefish Dunes Park.

#6 Couches and the den and great room have been used as beds for larger groups.

1 portable crib

PLEASE BE AWARE: We love the views from the house so much - and our location is so private - that we decided not to use any window coverings anywhere in our home.

This home was a wonderful place for our family vacation in Door County. The sandy beach across the street was convenient and private, and you’re surrounded by miles of trails to hike and explore. The owners were responsive and friendly- a great stay.

Lovely Stay
Lovely house with nice facilities. Could hear the waves from the lake with the windows open. Beach is gorgeous. Access to the beach may be a challenge if you have mobility problems or small children. Steep drive to walk up and down as well. Overall very pleasant and enjoyable stay and would return and also recommend.

Unique retreat!
Such a fun unique property! We loved spending time in the lookout tower and cuddled up by the fire. A short bike ride can get you to cave point as well which was fantastic! Fred was easy to work with and accomodiating.

Beautiful beach
So nice to be at a property that accepts dogs and is adjacent to a dog-friendly state park and beach. Access to the beach is private and proximate, but not a level walk for anyone with physical limitations. Best-stocked kitchen I’ve seen in a rental. Beds are very comfy and parking is plentiful. Family-friendly with high chair pack-and-play available. Very quiet.

Labor Day Weekend Getaway
We stayed here for LDW with 3 couples, including 2 toddlers and an infant. Good space for hanging out, playing games, cooking, etc. Large comfy couch and large kitchen table, so good for groups. We enjoyed the back deck and short walk down to the beach. We did pay extra for linens and towel service, which I think could be improved if we were to stay here again. Some linens had stains on them and the master bedroom set that was provided did not fit the size of the mattress.

beach heaven
Our stay at Whitefish Dunes Park was amazing. It was like having a cabin in the state park itself. We walked out of the back door and up the dunes into miles and miles of trails, or walked down the drive to miles of beach. The quiet was remarkable! The house was perfect for us - especially because we were able to bring our 3 dogs. The house is family friendly with a wonderful fireplace and game room. The dinning room has lake views as does the deck. The widow's peak gave us terrific views of the dunes and the lake. An awesome place! Paul Wilson of Ohio

My Happy Place
Fred's home is truly paradise. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our quiet mornings (before the kids woke up), sipping coffee and taking in the breathtaking view from the beach. The kitchen, adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the picturesque woods, made breakfast a delightful experience. The natural beauty of the surroundings, including woodpeckers, deer, turkeys, cardinals, and bluejays, captivated us for hours as we relaxed on the wrap-around deck. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring restful nights. Being able to see the sunrise through the trees from the master bedroom was breathtaking! When we were not off exploring hiking trails, eating ice cream, or relaxing on the beach, we entertained ourselves with ping pong in the game room or reading in their charming sitting room. All five of us shared the sentiment of how much we adored Fred's house, making it the most memorable family vacation we have ever had. We can't wait to get back there next summer!

Great Host & Great Location; Would Recommend
We stayed at the Sand Dunes with our family of 4 and our friends' family of 4. It was spacious and enjoyable. Fred was a great host and quickly answered my multitude of questions. Overall, I would recommend this home. PROS: Fantastic location, lovely home, wonderful indoor fireplace - which was great for fall. The home was spacious, close to the beach and had great walking trails into the state park. CONS: We brought our own sheets to avoid the linen charge, this was fine, but a lot of work. I was well aware of this ahead of time but it is a hassle and I would prefer a home with linen's included. I would have loved to see this home in it's heyday (90's). The architecture is phenomenal and you can tell care went into building it. Today, the insides could use an uplift. Nothing is functionally wrong, but the carpet is tired, the woodwork is stained, the furniture is older, and the floors have seen better days. None of these, however, interfered with our great trip and, again, Fred was a responsive host! Thanks!

Summer fun for two weeks
My family consisting of 6 adults and 3 children under 13 has a fun two weeks in Door County. The house is a brief walk to the beach ( not for people with mobility issues) and it is a wonderful large quiet beach on Lake Michigan. The kiddos were in heaven. The house had plenty of room for us to spread out and was well equipped with plenty of items to enjoy including a pool table and several televisions. The kitchen was also well equipped with everything you might need To prepare a meal We enjoyed the house and the large kitchen table where we could enjoy a meal together or the outside deck which also has a patio table to enjoy the weather. We also enjoyed being able to access the state park right at the end of the street

This was the 3rd year my family has stayed at this property. It easily accommodated the 7 adults and 6 children in our group. It is a lovely home in a more than lovely environment.

Beautiful beach and plenty of family space
A group of family and friends really enjoyed our time at this property. Then each was gorgeous and the home had plenty of room for our group. The private path to the beach was a bit longer rougher than we had expected which was difficult for the smaller kids, but the clean soft sand made it all worthwhile.

A Wonderful Getaway
We were looking forward to this weekend getaway for a long time. The house had more than enough room for our entire family to spread out. It was also very clean. The beach was just a short walk from the driveway. It was a cool and windy weekend but walking the beach was a perfect way to relax and enjoy nature. When it rained one of the nights, we held a family ping pong tournament. It was an amazing house and a relaxing retreat from our normal daily life!

It is difficult to find a place for my whole family to gather for a week. This beautiful home was perfect. There are large rooms to gather everyone, as well as smaller spaces for a quiet conversation. We have stayed here twice and hope to come again next year. The secluded wooded setting is perfect and it is just a short walk to the beach.
