SandyCabins Duplex Beach House - Lake Side Cabin

This knotty pine duplex cabin is situated above a private barking sand beach on the beautiful Lake Huron. With a fire pit, a butterfly garden, and lots of sand, this charming cabin is the perfect place for a large family holiday or a group trip to the beach.
Our cabin sits right on the water with direct access to our private beach which you’ll share with the guests in the Garden Side Cabin. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of sand for everyone!
A charcoal grill awaits your brats or steaks or whatever was on sale at Walt’s Meat Market across the street.
This can be a quiet romantic getaway for long walks on the beach, or an exciting family splash fest with fire roasted hot dogs and scorched marshmallows. We ask our guests to leave the cabin as they found it.

Great location, beautiful beach! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay. I would have liked some of the weed brush to be trimmed to have a open view of the water as the pictures on-line show, and the inside wood beams dusted, but other than that it was great.

Great place on a private beach

Can’t say enough positives about this property. It is clean, private, well stocked, and has a fantastic private beach. The water is clean and has a sandy bottom. My family enjoyed the trip and we can’t wait to come back.

The place was very northern Michigan style quaint. And clean.However, the property photograph is very misleading as the weeds are completely overgrown, making it very hard to walk down the beach as there is no path. Sand on the beach is very soft and nice when you finally get down to it, which takes about two minutes from the balcony of the cabin to the water. There are some minor issues in the house with the bathroom sink, not draining the bathtub, not draining quickly and some water dripping from the freezer onto the top rack of the refrigerator.However, the views were beautiful. The sand was nice and the place was very clean.!

Wonderful place!

Paul was great to deal with and answered all of my questions before we got there. The place was very clean and had all the comforts of home. We enjoyed the view, the fire pit every night and all the walks on the beach with our fur babies. We were also blessed with wonderful weather. Thanks Paul!

This was our third stay at the SandyCabins Duplex. It was an awesome getaway and we were sad when it was over. What is not to love about the Lake Side Cabin - from the views of the water from the deck to a clean sandy beach to warm shallow waters that are perfect for lounging away the days in a raft. If you planning spending a lot of time in the water, this cabin is an ideal place to vacation. The amenities are as listed - all you need to bring are some groceries, your swim suits, and a few beach towels. We loved the additional couch and chairs that were added to the accommodations in the cabin. The ability to do laundry at the cabin is very nice. If you've not stayed here before, I'll let you in on a secret - the most comfortable bed in the cabin is in the loft - it's worth the climb up the stairs. We've enjoyed our stays so much, we have already booked the cabin again for next summer. We are counting the days - that is how wonderful it is staying in the cabin.

We reserved both sides of the duplex for four couples. We were there for a wedding in Port Austin. Kitchens were well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Very clean. We enjoyed the beach right outside our door.
