Beautiful home and location! The views of the water and sunsets were spectacular! We have stayed in many homes in Door County over the years and this was by far our favorite. Our favorite feature besides the deck by the water was the screened in porch, such a nice amenity! We definitely plan to stay again in the future. Thanks for the beautiful stay!!

Girls weekend
Very clean, quiet and adorable place located right on the water. This is my first time to Door County so I was not quite sure which area to stay in. The rental is listed at Egg Harbor but the gps and maps are listed as Sturgeon Bay. I believe its the very south end of Egg Harbor…which is further from all the main towns than I had expected. We did a lot of driving. Everything is about 15- 20 minutes away. Definitely a nice peaceful place if that’s the vibe you are looking for. We were there for a girls weekend, and next time we’ll try to find something that is actually in Egg Harbor or Fish Creek.

Wonderful fall weekend!
My husband, sister and brother-in-law thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa. The view was spectacular because of all the windows and the living/kitchen area was perfectly designed, beautifully decorated and well equipped. The location was very private and quiet which made for an especially nice time. We look forward to another weekend at the Villa!

Awesome place to stay on the water
We just returned from a long weekend trip to Door County Wi. We couldn't have found a better place for us to stay! This place is exactly as described, only better, there is no way to describe how peaceful it is to hear the waves softly running against the shore while looking at the stars on a moonless night. This place has it all, peace, quite, not too far from town, and it's fully equipped. We found the peninsula kind of crowded during the weekend, and to be honest, we found the food not to be near as good as we remembered, COVID has done a lot of damage, everywhere. This place had all we would have needed to prepare much better meals than most of what we got going out, and we wouldn't have had to leave this beautiful setting to boot. Barbara, the host was very easy to communicate with, the place is gorgeous, we just can't say enough good things about it. We feel very fortunate to have been able to share this wonderful place, should you decide to do the same, we don't believe you would ever be disappointed!

Sisters getaway
We (five sisters) spent two wonderful days and nights at Villa Royer. The house was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and had plenty of space for the five of us. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we could have needed. The views of Lake Michigan from the living room and screen porch were amazing and the sunset over the lake on our first night was simply stunning. We woke the next morning to a full moon shining over the lake. Communication with Barbara was easy and quick. The location was perfect, quiet and private yet a short drive from shops and restaurants. We highly recommend Villa Royer and are already planning a return visit.

Beautiful property
We had a great week in Door County. The property was beautiful and just as VRBO described. A few things that were not so great:
I asked the owner for her phone number or for a property manager’s phone number in case we had any problems during our stay. She said she was in Europe and couldn’t be reached and has no property manager.
The toaster didn’t work. The fixture for the bathtub drain wouldn’t open once I closed it. So I used the other shower, which was fine. The TV remote in the living room was impossible to figure out without instructions. We could turn it on but couldn’t figure out how to turn the volume up and down or even change the station (no numbers or up and down buttons). A simple sheet of instruction would have been helpful. Same with the thermostat. Pushing the up and down button did not change the temperature. A sheet with instructions for that would help too. We’re not stupid. But when you stay in a new place some things work differently than you’re used to. The red light was on in the laundry room when we arrived on Saturday afternoon, so we called the number she left for the company to come and empty the holding tank. They came on Labor Day.
None of these issues affected the wonderful week we had. I could sit in that sunroom and read, listening to the waves for hours. It was a very relaxing place. We really enjoyed our time there, and it was convenient to shopping and galleries. We took the scenic trolley tour just north of Egg Harbor, which I recommend.
