About this property

SandyCabins Duplex Beach House - Garden Side Cabin

This knotty pine duplex cabin is situated among young fruit trees with a private barking sand beach on the beautiful Lake Huron. With a fire pit, a bountiful 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 faces the garden, but it is just a few steps around the back for direct access to our private beach which you’ll share with the guests in the Lake 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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

House basically clean, but very dated. No direct beach view, guests had to walk through neighbors yard to access the beach. Parking was fine for three cars.Structure fine and new along with new windows and doors. Interior furnishing very old and looked like Salvation Army rejects. Kitchen frig and laundry machines new and worked well. Kitchen stove very old electric, rusting. Kitchen utensils, plates were unmatched, cereal/soup bowls were unmatching in size and color. The BBQ utensil set was hanging on the wall from end of a lawn rake…worse than that was a used dirty fly infested FLY SWATTER. The fly swatter was next to the bbq grill spatula! The linens and towels were clean and good. Overall okay at best and defiantly overpriced.

We had a great weekend at Sandy cabins!

We loved staying at Sandy Cabins. The cabin was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and everything was as advertised. Our fur babies loved the sand and water and the lake front location was perfect. We think this might be our new yearly weekend get-a-way with our boys!

Wonderful stay and good location.

We stayed in mid-May and it was chilly, so the beach was not used at all. The home is cute, clean and beds were very comfortable. Great location to go between Port Austin and Caseville. Lots of outdoor chairs and grill available.
