Looking for a romantic getaway, in a wonderful suite overlooking the shimmering waters of Egg Harbor?  Well, read on!

At Bay Point Inn, open year-round, children are also welcomed!  This is a special place, offering lots of amenities and optional services, including romantic packages that can include dinner served to you in your room, course by course, in-room massages, rose petals sprinkled around the floor and more.

Every villa in this 10 room inn, with 5 upstairs and 5 downstairs, is a bedroom suite, with 2 person ultra-thermal whirlpools (by Bain – a French company), a fireplace, TV, cable and wireless internet, DVD & tape players, free movies to view, king beds with down quilts and pillows, and queen sleeper sofas.

The villas come in two varieties:

• The Romantic Villa (6 of these). 
• And The Premier Romantic Villa (there are 4 of these) - the primary differences between the two are that the Premiere offers a larger fireplace, surround sound (even piped into the bathroom), heated bathroom floors, and a walk-in shower with double shower heads.  Wow!

With an outdoor pool, indoor hot tub, breakfast room, and lots of optional amenities – this can be one super getaway for couples or small families. 

We toured samples of each, and walked the beautiful grounds as well.

Romantic Villa # 12

Walk into the foyer, with the bathroom to your right and private bedroom to your left.  Ahead you will find a small, L-shaped kitchen with sealed burner stove, convection/microwave oven, coffeemaker, dishwasher, fridge, and wood oak cabinets.  All dishes and utensils are available as well.

Still ahead is the living room, which sports a queen sleeper sofa, coffee table with reading lamp, side chairs, and a table with 3 chairs near the window.  A TV is in the corner, with a small fireplace beneath it. A private patio (or balcony if you are upstairs) is off to the left.  There is a warm and comfortable feeling in the villa – like you belong.

The bedroom has a king bed, which is flanked by nightstands and sconces.  There’s an alarm clock, ceiling fan and tasteful artwork at the head of the bed.  The artwork throughout is sophisticated yet comfortable, and includes prints of pieces done by local Door County artists like Karsten Topelmann.

The bathroom is large, has a tiled floor, sculpted sink and matching commode by Kohler™, the two-person whirlpool, towel rack, hairdryer and plenty of space for storage.  Very nice.

Premiere Romantic Villa # 24

Here, the living room of this upstairs suite has Pergo™ floors, a taupe queen sleeper sofa and a floral easy chair - all sitting atop a complementary are rug.  There is a rectangular fireplace in the corner, with a TV, table and chairs, and a private balcony.  The view is spectacular – nothing less!  You cannot help but to love it and picture yourself enjoying a romantic dinner on the balcony, watching the sun set on a pleasant summer evening.   Very nice indeed!

The kitchen is similar to the one in #12, but here we have painted wooden cabinets.  The bedroom is similar to # 12 also, but has a full-mirrored door and closet.

Breakfast – Who’s Hungry?

Each morning, from about 8:00 AM on, a breakfast is offered in the room upstairs off the lobby, which overlooks the indoor hot tub.  There are a couple of waffle irons (you can make you own!), coffee, tea, cereals, fruit and fresh bakery.  There are also bookshelves housing videos, books and more for your enjoyment.  I asked Myles, the innkeeper, how late breakfast is served and he said, “People are on vacation – so we have it available as long as they want!”  Nice touch.  And in the afternoon, head up here and find coffee and cookies too!

Outdoors

You can access all the rooms from outside.  Head out the front and follow the brick path to the swimming pool out back. Where you will find a nice pool area, complete with lounge chairs, a couple of umbrella-ed tables, some grills, a sunset deck where folks gather to take in the glorious Door County sunsets, and spectacular views of the waters of the bay.  The landscaping is beautiful adding to a feeling of quiet seclusion in your private getaway.  What more can you ask?!
