About this house rental

Relax at Compass Cove, a dog-friendly 1920s Craftsman just minutes from the action! This 3BR, 1.5BA home sits two blocks from the canal and a short walk to downtown. Enjoy central air, a cozy electric fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, coffee + espresso, and a spacious backyard with fire pit, grill, yard games, and outdoor movie nights—perfect for making Door County memories.

Property manager hours are between 8am and 5pm.




Sturgeon Bay is the kind of place where every day feels like an invitation to explore—and Door County only makes it better. Start close to home with a walk or bike ride along the canal and historic bridge paths, where boats glide by and the views never get old. For the best perspective in town, hike to the top of the newly reopened Historic Potawatomi Observation Tower—the climb is worth it for those sweeping bay views.

When it’s time to sip something local, you’re spoiled for choice. Bridge Up Brewing and Starboard Brewing are Sturgeon Bay favorites, each offering relaxed vibes and creative brews. From there, wander into the shopping districts and fuel up at beloved eateries like Get Real Café, Blue Front Café, or Kitty O’Reilly’s Irish Pub, famous for its unbeatable summer atmosphere, outdoor seating, and lively alley bar.

Dinner plans? You can’t go wrong with CRATE, Del Santo’s, or a scenic drive to Donny’s Glidden Lodge for that classic Wisconsin supper club experience. Keep things casual with summer food truck staples like Papa B’s and Mauricio’s, then finish the night on a sweet note at Door County Gelato—a must-stop treat.

Venture north to explore Door County’s vibrant gallery scene, featuring local artists and tucked-away studios. Nature lovers will adore the Door County Land Trust properties, offering peaceful hikes and stunning overlooks, or a day at Whitefish Dunes State Park, including its dog-friendly beach.

Whether you’re here for food, art, adventure, or sunsets that stop you in your tracks, Door County delivers something unforgettable every time.

Guests will have full access to this home and backyard.

Step into the rich history of Door County at Compass Cove, a cozy 1920s craftsman home in Sturgeon Bay that blends historic charm with modern comforts. Your vacation begins the moment you open the bright lemon-yellow front door!

Inside, a large dining table seats up to six, perfect for meals and game nights. The galley-style kitchen is sleek and fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a high-top table for four, a dishwasher, stove/oven, microwave, toaster, drip coffee maker, and all the basic cooking utensils you need.

Relax in the living room, furnished with oversized modern seating, Door County décor, a large-screen streaming TV, and an electric fireplace for cozy evenings. Bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged: the primary bedroom features a king bed, bedroom two has a full bed and twin, and bedroom three offers two twin beds plus a roll-away fold down twin bed that can be rolled into the living room for use. A pack-n-play, fresh linens, towels, and high-speed internet are provided for your convenience.

Step outside to enjoy Compass Cove’s expansive backyard with a fire pit, gas grill, patio seating, foldable chairs, and plenty of space for outdoor games. Set up the projector for a fun movie night under the stars, or enjoy bean bags, table Jenga, or throw a football for friendly competition.

When you’re ready to explore, Sturgeon Bay offers endless adventures: climb the historic 1930s Observation Tower for panoramic views, hike scenic trails at nearby state or county parks (including Whitefish Dunes’ dog-friendly beach), or stroll through the two downtown shopping districts. Grab a locally brewed pint at Bridge Up or Starboard Brewery, coffee from Pinky Promise Coffee, and visit the historic Door County Granary and Maritime Museum. Dining options abound for all: dog-friendly pubs like Kitty O’Reilly’s and Waterfront Mary’s, or family-friendly spots like Cherry Lanes, Sandbox, Sonny’s Pizzeria, and Apple Valley Lanes. Rainy days? No problem—there’s plenty of indoor fun nearby.

Groups and dogs are always welcome at Compass Cove, your perfect home base for a memorable Door County getaway where history, comfort, and adventure meet.

Great place for your Thanksgiving weekend stay.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
We were very comfortable in this house. Enjoyable main rooms with plenty of room for many people. Bedrooms are small, so if you are having 8 people sleep there, you will have to move the two beds to other rooms. The hostess is very nice and helpful.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
My bachelorette weekend trip was amazing and I was so grateful to be able to stay in this cute house that slept the whole party. The listing is accurate and the hosts were accommodating when I asked for another rollaway bed as a back up. There is an organic grocery store, parks, the whole downtown area super close by and we were fortunate that a farmers market was happening within three blocks of the property as well! The beds were comfortable and the showeramenities were perfect for our 6 person group. The check out instructions were clear and reasonable. First time booking with VRBO and this property was a great first impression!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2020
Check in information wasn’t given without needing to ask. Check out information wasn’t given at all. Responsiveness of communication from owner a little slow. Neighborhood isn’t the best and the house is about 1,100 square feet. Overall, definitely overpriced.
