About this property

Welcome to Thenell's Beach House, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! This fully remodeled two-story waterfront home is conveniently located between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor, approximately 5 miles north of Sturgeon Bay and 1 mile south of George Pinney County Park (Stone Quarry) and a public boat launch. Gorgeous views of the bay await you in this home that sleeps 4 (reduced from 6 due to a Village ordinance on 8/27/25, please reach out to us with questions).

Enjoy the sunset views from the home or the large deck overlooking the water. You will have panoramic views of Potawatomi State Park and the Sherwood Point Lighthouse. You can hear the waves lapping the shore as you cozy up around the fire pit. There is plenty of space for the kids to run and play outdoors. It has a semi-private beach shared with Thenell's Cottage next door.

Thenell's Cottage is a great additional rental option if you are looking for additional space to sleep up to 4. We welcome groups; feel free to reach out to us to book both places!

“The property was very nice and so peaceful. As others have stated, you do share the area with the cabin renters, but it was not uncomfortable in the least. I would highly recommend for a relaxing getaway.”

“Beautiful setting, nice accommodation. The house was clean and up to date. We did have trouble getting the upstairs cool on hot days.”

“Wonderful Retreat Our friends from Arizona wanted to hike indoor County. I am so happy we found Thennel’s Beach House. It was perfect. Clean. Well equipped kitchen & fabulous sunsets. Our only comment would be: we were there during a very hot time so greatly appreciated the AC. It would be helpful if there were some ceiling fans in the bedrooms to help circulate the air. Other than that, it was perfect.! Jeanne”
