My husband and myself, with our 5 children stayed in cabin 5. We had a great time, the grounds and beach were wonderful. The cabin was sufficient for all of us to sleep and eat in comfortably. We had a wonderful time at Sunset Beach while there and the location is perfectly located between Caseville and Port Austin...would recommend Sunset Beach to anyone

We stayed in Cabin #5 with 4 adults. 2 toddlers, and two infants. The owners are very helpful and responsive. The cabin was exactly what we needed for the week. The living/dining/kitchen area was spacious along with a large bathroom. The bedrooms were on the smaller side but didn't matter to us as they are only for sleeping!! Our favorite part was the sun porch. When We weren't on the beach we spent most of time on the porch. The views and the beach were great. We will be coming back for sure.

I enjoyed my stay in Cabin 5. If I wasn't on the beach, the screened-in porch was my favorite place to sit and relax and enjoy the water view. It was a chilly week so it was nice to be able to close the windows on the porch. We also had some beautiful sunsets which we watched from the upper viewing deck. If we had questions or needed something, Cheri or Mary were around almost every day. The beds were comfortable and the cabin was clean.

We were a little worried we would be cramped, but not so as we slept 4 adults and 2 kids in the bedrooms, and 3 more kids on the hideabed. The location was great. Just walking up to the cottage, we saw how close we were to the water and started to think about booking again for next year.
Loved it
