About this property

Tequila Sunrise Beachfront Cottage on Lake Huron

Cozy cottage on private 100 feet of sugar sand beach. The cottage is located on a small bay on Lake Huron with island views. The water is shallow toward shore and gets deeper toward the mouth of the bay. This 788 sq. foot cottage has two bedrooms, one bath and sleeper sofa. All new windows and french doors installed winter 2019. Complete bathroom remodel, new kitchen island, and gas fireplace installed winter 2021 (fireplace available for use Labor Day to Memorial Day) . New tile floor, new baseboard heaters, new barn door, new pocket door, all walls covered in tongue and groove, new dining room table and seating, new side tables, and new dressers winter 2022. It is perfect for a couple or small family getaway.

Large covered porch is facing Lake Huron for breathtaking sunrises, moonrises and lounging on during the day watching the kids or your dogs play on the beach. Two kayaks and three stand up paddle boards are waiting for you to explore our bay. Basketball court and beach volleyball net are ready for fun out of the water. Container of beach toys is on the porch for kids to dig and play in the sand.

You can cook your meals right on the beach in the firepit, on the stove in the kitchen, or on the full sized gas grill behind the cottage. Dine outside on the covered porch or picnic right on the beach. The cottage is less than 10 miles to downtown Alpena for shopping, dining, winetasting, marina, chartered fishing, glass bottom boat tours, and exploring the NOAA maritime museum.

10/10 on the beach

This was a long weekend girls trip. We had a great stay! House location and view is 10/10. The house is really nicely decorated on the inside with everything you could think of needing. Loved being able to have my dog she had the time of her life playing in the water. Owners thought of a lot of extras. We really enjoyed playing on the beach. Only downside was the flies, we forgot about them attacking in June lol.

Very relaxing

My 18, 24, and 25 year old chikdren and I stayed for a week. The water was so clear, it was incredible! It was also only 3 feet deep for the first 30 feet past shore. The slow incline into deeper water is perfect for families with younger kids. Everything we needed to relax and have fun was already there; 2 kayaks, 3 paddle boards, net set up on beach for volleyball and badminton, basketball hoop, fire pit, BBQ grill, board games, etc. They even have all you would need for little kids to play on the beach and build sand castles. The weather was great and the water was warm. We all had a wonderful time.

Long weekend getaway

This property has a fantastic sandy beach. The Lake and sunrises are breathtaking. Even though we had clouds and rain most of our stay, the sounds of the lake and enjoying quality time with our family made this a very relaxing and memorable trip. We can't wait to vacation here again.

Unforgettable family fun on Lake Huron

Best vacation yet! This beautiful, well-maintained slice of heaven on the quiet shores of Lake Huron was absolutely perfect. My husband, 6-year-old, our pups, and I are avid travelers, always looking for that ideal spot with activities we all enjoy, and this was it! The home was spotless and had everything we could possibly need provided. The view and access to the private stretch of beachfront was simply magical. We spent every day, all day, enjoying the water, playing all sorts of sports, kayaking and paddleboarding along the coast, walking the beautiful beach, and sitting by the campfire toasting marshmallows. The hosts are awesome to work with and were so kind and accommodating. You couldn't ask for a better vacation. We can't wait to come back!

My elderly parents and I enjoyed a wonderful stay on this property. The listing is spot on. While more remote than I thought, the privacy and quiet it provided was wonderful. If we are traveling in the area again we would definitely go back.
