About this property

Barefoot Bungalow- Sandy beach & gorgeous views of Lake Huron!

Summer 2027 now booking Friday-Friday rentals. Spring and fall weekends available. New for 2026 - whole house air conditioning!
Enjoy the beauty of Lake Huron with 95 feet of wide, sandy beach and lakefront. We have Sandy bottom water with shallow entry and a sandbar - perfect for families! This 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with a loft is down a secluded, dead end private street - no loud noise from US23! Master bathroom fully remodeled in 2024. We are close to area shopping, golf and restaurants. Fantastic deck for enjoying the views and everything you need to enjoy the beach available for your use - chairs, towels, sand toys. An outdoor shower to wash away the day's sand and a fenced in back yard for added privacy. Beautiful modern kitchen, fully equipped, and gas BBQ allow you to cook your own meals if you choose. The perfect end to a day spent splashing in the waves is making s'mores over the beach fire pit, or relaxing in the sauna. Amazing lake views from the kitchen, dining, sitting room, 1st bedroom, 4th bedroom and loft.

Located directly between downtown Tawas and Oscoda means access to all kinds of summer fun with festivals, movies/music in the park, cute shops, great restaurants, lighthouses, putt putt and renowned golf courses. Located near the AuSable River with opportunities for kayaking, canoeing and tubing. There are also amazing views of the fall colors with state land right across the street. Long driveway with plenty of parking and a basketball hoop for fun. TVs are equipped with streaming capabilities so you can login to your own accounts on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. Bike trails, hiking trails, sun and sand make Barefoot Bungalow the perfect destination to enjoy Pure Michigan. Come experience the sunrise side at its finest! *Outdoor furniture is available Memorial Day-Labor Day

*Must agree to rental agreement listed in house rules and provide a copy of photo ID for all rentals.

Take a look at our sister property in Charlevoix, Michigan. Walking distance to Lake Michigan sand dunes and beaches. 1.8 miles outside of downtown. Walking distance to sledding, cross country skiing and ice skating! Year round fun! VRBO Property ID 2042079

The house was lovely and accommodated our large family. The kitchen was so well equipped, making it easy to cook at the house and never leave the beautiful view. There was a small problem at the beginning of our trip but the host took care of it quickly, which made for a comfortable trip.

This house was exactly as listed. Great location on the beach. There were 9 of us there for the weekend and easily could have fit 12. There were plenty of dishes for multiple meals and truly all the cooking utensils, pans, cookie sheets you could need. The house was very clean. They also provided enough toilet paper, paper towel, dish pods, laundry, etc. unlike a lot of other spots we’ve stayed. What would have made this place over the top would be smart tvs in the master and upper bedroom. They had one in the living room and the rest of the rooms, so really this is a luxury request, and we were there for the beach anyway! Lots of beach stuff available to use. Plenty of seating on the deck, and plenty at the beach so you didn’t have to lug them. We did not use the sauna but it seemed nice- probably could fit 3-4 comfortably. Host was very responsive beforehand- and we needed nothing during our stay. Great views from the house overlooking the lake. Would 100% stay there again.

Our family is so happy that we found this wonderful beach home 6 years ago! It is a lovely, comfortable, well-appointed home with a very warm and thoughtful owner who responds quickly. It’s a spacious, well-designed home with plenty of room for our 6 adults and 4 children. It has excellent AC, a large kitchen and dining area, and new laundry appliances. All of the outdoor living spaces are great, too : the deck is large and relaxing with perfect views of the lake. the front yard area is fun for basketball and scooters, and the beach is superb - clean,all sand, no rocks, shallow enough for young children but also nice for adult swimming. We also love evening beach campfires with s’mores ! It’s a quiet idyllic neighborhood, very nice to take walks and admire the wildflowers, butterflies, and birds. It is a perfect family vacation home !
