So relaxing and enjoyable

All the little nautical themed touches in this cottage made us feel so relaxed and at home. We had such a lovely time. We enjoyed the fires in the fire pit, cooking on the grill and eating on the patio, walking along the beach, and playing games indoors. The Wi-Fi connection was great as we also had work to do on our laptops. We would love to come here again!

Everything as discribe

Everything was as discribed, place was well stocked. Although the cottage has a running theme of a beach house throughout, each room served a purpose, had a great use of space and it's own unique personality. Cookies and breakfast goods was a nice touch. The path to the beach was much closer then expected.

Lovely place

My friends and I loved our stay. The Sandy Feet Cottage was everything and more than expected. It was comfortable inside and out. We played outdoor games that were provided by Darlene, enjoyed the fire pit, walked the beach, and baked cookies she provided for us if the freezer. The sun porch was relaxing and cozy for morning coffee. It was so nice. Thank you Darlene.

My Great Summer home

Sandy Feet is always well taken care of. Stocked with everything we need. Just like being at home but off Lake Huron. Ms. Darlene is always kind and available for any questions or concerns. Love that place and all my summer neighbors. Looking forward to 2024! Marvin

Spring Break in Michigan!

Yes, we decided to come to the warm state of Michigan for our Spring Break. Actually, the true reason was to come visit my husband’s elderly mother. This home was in the perfect location. It was clean, stocked with all necessary items, and had a nice view of Lake Huron. Restaurants, grocery stores and shopping are all within a 5 minute drive. Darlene was a wonderful host. The weather wasn’t too bad (not having any snow was a win), but we will perhaps rent again when we return in the summer.

Great Stay!

Cannot say enough good things about this property and property manager Darlene! First off, the description is spot on. The property is tucked away in a very nice and quiet neighborhood, just steps away from Lake Huron. Once you step inside, you will feel right at home. Everything you need to take the stress out of your stay is provided. We were able to sit out on the large deck and watch the sun rise in the morning and set in the evening. We found the games and Ping Pong table to be a great way to relax after a long day exploring the area. We had such a great time and will definitely be booking this property again.

Clean, comfortable cottage in a wonderful location

Staying in Sandy Feet Cottage felt like we were staying at a dear friend or close family member’s home. It was clean and cozy, and Darlene was the most hospitable host EVER. So many thoughtful touches- plenty of linens, cookie dough and cinnamon rolls, tons of board games, and so much more. The beds were comfortable, the Smart TVs were appreciated as it was cold and rainy in evenings when we were there. The beach was just steps away and since my friends and I specifically came to PH/FG to look for rocks, we were pleased to find it it was rocky. It was lovely being able to sit in the sunroom in the morning and see the Lake. My friends loved having the ping pong table available. It was all such a lovely, pleasant stay, and I hope to visit again!!

Absolutely amazing!!

I can't even fully express in words of how amazing it was staying in Darlene's cottage. From the outside it looks really small and once you walk in, you are instantly blown away! The cottage was very clean and picture perfect with the nautical theme of the cottage. There was a lot of light coming through the windows and an amazing view overlooking the lake from the patio. My girlfriends and I had a great time spending the weekend with each other in this cozy cottage. We were all impressed with what was provided and the charm this place had. One thing that really impressed me is the kindness coming from Darlene. She wanted to make sure my stay was pleasant and even went out of her way to give me info about the area. So when I left I wanted to make sure it was just as clean as I arrived. My parents stopped by and even they would like to stay there. If you are looking for a place to have a romantic getaway or just a weekend with the friends, this is the place!
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 6, 2020
We are so very pleased that you and your friends had such a great time. This is our first time hosting a girlfriends weekend. We had a feeling the cottage would be perfect for this, and it sounds like it was. And thank you for taking such great care of Sandy Feet! Come back soon.

A Perfect Getaway

Sandy Feet Cottage is truly a home away from home. I needed some time away from a very busy schedule and stayed at Sandy Feet on Lake Huron for 4 days - although I wish it could have been longer. It was a fully relaxing and completely carefree vacation for me. Host, Darlene and family, have set up Sandy Feet with your every comfort in mind. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and preparing meals at the cottage, but there are plenty of places to eat nearby if you'd prefer to not cook. And there so many choices at the cottage for where to enjoy your meal - at the counter facing the kitchen, in the dining room area, or out on the expansive deck. All the rooms are well decorated with that perfect vintage "beachy" feel and the bed I slept in was extremely comfortable. The bathroom even included shampoo and body wash if you happen to forget your own. An entire notebook is available for guests looking for places to visit and things to do, as well as instructions for every appliance at the cottage, just in case you are unfamiliar with how to use the coffee maker or turn on the TV. Seriously, you don't have to think or worry about a thing! I fully enjoyed beach-sitting, deck-sitting and comfy-couch-sitting during my stay. I did manage to motivate myself to do a little antique shopping and just wandering around the area. Everything Antiques in Port Huron was great, but I found better prices, offerings, and great deals in some of the "out of the way" antique shops north of Port Gratiot. I enjoyed downtown Port Huron, the local lighthouse, and traveling one day for several hours up the coast. Highlight: the Exquisite Corpse Coffeehouse in Port Huron was a morning necessity, although I found The Raven Coffeehouse, just down the block, equally as nice. I will definitely stay at Sandy Feet Cottage again. Walt

Best host so far!

We have stayed in many Vrbo rental properties and Darlene is the best host we have had so far. Communication with her is great! She also had a freezer packed with goodies to enjoy. It was amazing!! Thank you so much. We highly recommend this place. The location was perfect. Just a short walk from the beach.

Blue Water Relaxation

The cottage was a perfect location , close to Lake Huron and our family. The host thought of everything we might heed during our stay. The unique sailboat themed antiques added to the ambience. This was our second time staying there and hopefully we will get to relax at Sandy Feet again in the future.
