Health warning, MOLD smell in bathroom made us ill!!! Hosts are excentric and I was betrated by male host when leaving. Heard about damage others had done to property for 45 minutes when arrived. Told me property looked good at check out, then charged us $150. After stay for damage we did not do. Beware not safe or pleasant stay!!! VRBO DOES NOTHING TO HELP GUESTS AFTER STAY. Nightmare not a vacation 😭

Anniversary weekend
We enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend and loved the sound of the waves and the beautiful view of the lake. Bonnie and Bob gave us balloons and card for our Anniversary and was a sweet gesture.

Pleasant Retreat!
We loved spending time at this pretty suite on the water. It was wonderful being able to have our double sliding doors open to the sounds of the bay and feel the cool breezes blow right into the room. We also loved the knotty pine vaulted ceiling. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise the first morning and enjoyed watching birds fly up the shoreline. We even saw a bald eagle fly by! The kitchen was small but cute and adequate to do light cooking. The refrigerator was plenty big and we loved the hot/cold water despenser they have. We took advantage of the gas grill in the screened in gazebo. That was nice. The bathroom was nice but the floor in front of the toilet felt like something was not right structurally. We also didn't like having a door that we couldn't from our side, right by the sink and toilet that leads into the owner's house. (We didn't realize that the suite was connected to the owner's house when we booked this lodging.) We were apprehensive when we first pulled up. But I decided to give this listing 5 stars because the suite was so nice and such a great value for the money. Bonnie who gave us a welcome tour was extremely friendly and welcoming. And we never heard anything but the murmur of soft conversation from the owner's house a few times, so we felt like we had plenty of privacy. (There are neighbors but they didn't bother us.)

Where to begin? Bonnie and Bob are so sweet! Lovely to deal with, and they got us balloons and a card for our 25th anniversary. The view of the lake is wonderful! My favorite thing was reading on the screened porch listening to the waves. HEAVEN! The bed was super comfy. We were there when the weather was unseasonably cool, and we never needed the air conditioning. The electric fireplace created a cozy atmosphere we enjoyed every evening. We highly recommend Amore' de Bay!

The place is dusty and needs all the cobwebs cleaned. The "continental breakfast" is a joke, consists of cheap walmart donut holes, cookies and fruitcups. Also, be prepared to be insulted by the owner, Bob.

First things first, all the cobwebs cleaned Our worst review. I thought I was walking into a Haunted house , an attic or at the least a antique store. If you are into them things. Bonnie is very meticulous as you can gather if you have read other reviews. I have ms I walk with a cane my balance or gate is not the best so I use the back of my hands or forearms at times for balance. Bonnie is constantly telling me I just cleaned that and I don't want to have to do it again.l don't say this or if I do it is to myself. Nag nag nag. I don't think there is a better place that is maintained as well as this. The "continental breakfast" is a joke, consists of cheap walmart donut holes, ( blue berry at that and oatmeal raisin )cookies and fruitcups. She was here for only two days. I am sure walmart would love hearing that. That is what a continental breakfast is . If one was to look up the definition. It is not a buffet or prepared meal and menu. We do that free because some people have not gone to the grocery store yet and when they get up in the morning they have a little something there for them to eat. Sealed with the freshness dates on them.; I pick the furthest fresshness dates on them. The guest have to be the first ones to break the seal. Now with covid being amplified as it is. State requirements with out a food licence. . A state lady/ a paying guest was in shortly there after and said you are doing everything exactly as required by state law. Also, be prepared to be insulted by the owner, Bob. Check in time is between 3&7 PM. She was early she beat me there. . Most people call ahead and ask if is ok to come early. she did not. Bonnie was there in the room going over some things with her when I got there with the continental breakfast. I set them on a little island in the kitchen area we have and made this comment. After all it is food.(my insult) Looks like you could use some meat on your bones. She was young and I could see she took good care of herself. I have 40 maybe 50 years on her and that comment I made has been around before me and I never had heard it said in a insulting manner. If that is an insult than I am guilty. Michigan is no smoking. State. She was a smoker and from Madison Wisconsin. We have a no smoking or vaping sign that leads out to the screened in porch where one can go and sit and enjoy a cup of coffee if they like. She asked if she could smoke there, Bonnie said no. Smoking is allowed down by the gazebo. She did not like hearing that. You have your review. Did you ever feel you been lied too. Now if you choose to come and I hope you do. Maybe you can agree or disagree with her review. You can't please everyone so you have to please yourself. OH I think somebody already wrote that song.

From the moment we stepped in we saw how beautiful it was. We had an anniversary card and balloons to greet us! Everything we could have ever needed was provided. Gracious hosts, super nice, friendly, ready to help in any way, as well as allowed us our own private time. We are happy to share this experience by telling all of our friends. We wish we could spend all our time listening to and watching the waves come in.

This is a very nice property, and Bonnie was a gem. Loved our room. We would definitely stay again. Great tour of waterfalls in Marinette Co that were beautiful. I would say that vrbo misleads you by thinking you are closer to Door County, unless you have a boat it is a long drive, 2 hours.

A perfectly romantic place to spend an anniversary!
We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Amore de Bay and enjoyed the experience immensely! The property owner greeted us like family when we arrived, and every aspect of the property, inside and out, was designed with privacy and comfort in mind. We were steps away from Lake Michigan, and we could see the sunrise, sunset, and moonlight on the water through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room as well as from the screened-in gazebo (the gas grill was awesome!). Trust me when we say that the photos on the website give only a glimpse of this property's beauty! We can't wait to come back!

This is a gorgeous spot to relax on the bay, swim, read in the hammock, even cook. I went up to the road to Wells State Park where I hiked. Bob and Bonnie thought of all the little touches that make a stay special, and I didn't have to remember to pack a thing-- they even had coffee and half & half ! This was supposed to be a romantic weekend for my spouse and me, but he couldn't make it at the last minute, but I enjoyed myself on my own just the same!

Wonderful Waterfront 45th Anniversary
One word- Perfect Two words- Will Return Three words- Host were special The combination of location, just steps to the Sandy beach, and a beautifully decorated and well appointed unit, made for our perfect stay. Being only 10 minutes from town, we enjoyed casual and Fine Dinning and the lighthouse. However our main purpose was not to be tourists but relax, and that we did. Sleeping to the lapping waves, breakfast on our private deck, naps and reading in the hammocks at water’s edge, B-B-Qing in the Gazebo, spying the islands, wildlife, and Bay activities is exactly what we hoped for, and found. Thank you Bob and Bonnie for sharing your paradise with us.
