Welcome to Thenell's Beach House, hosted by Simple Life Rentals!

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.
