8 Miles de sable de plage - Mary Beach House

You don't know how much you need a nice beach of your own until you have one.

There are lots of nature and water views with beautiful expensive houses. Very few people walk the beach past this hidden gem.

Every day we are here cleaning is golden.

We have contracted for major improvements this winter. The path is sand so it puzzling as to how it would hurt anyone more than the sand at the beach.

We hope to continue to rent out this million dollar house for the next 35 years.

Thanks for your endorsement.

The pictures of this house are up-to-date so this is what you get when you book. We have booked new Mc Mansions for our own family vacations but they are more like hotels than a beach house. You have made very good suggestions regarding recycling checking in and towels. We are at the beach house now so we can fix those concerns immediately. Criticism helps future guests and your confusion is on us.

We hope to offer our favorite place on earth for many more years.

Peter and his group were exceptional guests and agreed to help install our updated internet. Four room additions have made this into a VRBO purpose-built rental location. We have been constantly updating as often as we can between guest visits.

Thank you for your kind description. Our 2003 addition was made to enlarge spaces and make all spaces more user friendly for children. Over the last 33 years many of those children have returned as adults. Our hours of cleaning over the years is our contribution to making the world better. Our hope is that these visiting children provide positive opportunities for their future children.

We are praying for your family.

Nowhere in our property description mentioned sunsets but we added that the location features great sunrises. You're correct that you need to book in the crowded bay side to see them. We will talk to our cleaning person. I pump up all the tires at the beginning of the year and an electric pump is next to them. There are nine bikes so people have a choice. We found the broken chair and placed it in the garbage. We are doing a renovation this winter after everyone leaves.

Thanks for your recommendation. Thousands of kids and parents have had unique fun on the beach over the last three decades. It takes us almost all of the winter to recover. It is a lot easier not to share but then, where would you go?

Thank you Kathleen. We are glad you had a good time. Mary and Ray

Unfortunately Riley came during “lake bug week” when our lake bugs hatch. We never know when that will be so we can’t warn our guests. All the four toilets were replaced one year ago with the higher wider design. We try and make the house look more like a beach house and less like a sterile hotel. Children leave painted rocks and other “surprises” for later children. Outside beach toys, shovels, beach umbrellas, chairs and tables are not used by everyone but must be there for families. The house has been “lived in” by thousands of happy guests over then last 34 years. We can only paint the outside between when it is warm enough in the Spring and between early guests. That time (this year) was after their stay. Other issues have been addressed. Only 5% of Door County’s coastline is sand beach. Our sand beach is the best, and this house was designed for that view. We wash all the windows as often as we can. We also rent out The Cedar Beach House in Baileys Harbor (same size, also on the lake) which provides a more formal inside atmosphere. Thank you for your review. You may have helped us improve the property for other guests.

The four house additions have been cleverly designed for great views and comfort. Thanks for the review.

Appreciative guests make all of our efforts worthwhile.

Thank you John. None of the 2023 dates worked for you?

Thank you for your positive review!

Dogs are free but require extra work. We do anything to make our friend's stay more enjoyable.
