About this property
Beach House on the Saginaw Bay near Bay City, Michigan
3 Bedroom Beach House near Bay City State Park
This beach house has over 1900 sq. ft. of living space on one of the best beaches in Mid Michigan. The homes first floor has a spacious living area, fully equipped kitchen (all appliances, pots, pans, dishes, eating utensils, etc.), one bedroom (queen sized), and a full bath (both with tub/shower combinations). The living room includes a couch, two love seats and a table with seating for four in front of the fireplace. The upstairs has two bedrooms (one with a double bed and a single bed, the other with two twin beds and one double bed), one full bath with each bedroom having a private entrance to the bathroom without leaving your room.
In the summer, families can enjoy the warm water to kayak, stand up paddleboard, sail the Sun Fish, fish (from shore or nearby lagoon), or just enjoy the sandy beach, sit by a campfire in the fire pit or bicycle on the rail trail. All of these are included at no extra cost.
Outdoorsmen can enjoy nature. We are located one mile North of the Bay City State Park, where you can walk or ride the nature trails, check out the displays at the Visitor's Center, and children can enjoy the spray park or the wide sandy beach that is groomed daily during the summer. Even closer is the Tobico Marsh area. It has a walking trail that has several bridges and two 30 foot observation towers. The marsh itself has many different kinds of wild life, including active beaver dens. The paved rail trail that runs from this house (literally, right across the street) all the way around Bay City. Roundtrip is a 24 mile ride, but riding downtown is only about 6 miles where you can enjoy many local restaurants. A recently completed connector adds a trail that follows the Saginaw River to Zilwaukee. Pickleball courts and tennis courts are a short drive away. A new boat rental company opened in the area, Bay City Boat Rental. The Freedom Boat Club is in Bay City where members can reserve a boat for their use. For those who like to fish you can find walleye, perch, northern pike, and bass throughout the Bay. The Saginaw Bay is known for excellent walleye fishing. We are conveniently located half way between the DNR boat launch on the Saginaw River and the boat launch at Linwood Beach Marina, both are just 15 minutes away. There is fishing year round, but the walleye fishing gets going with the first warm weather in the spring. Winter activities include a seven mile, groomed cross country ski trail right out the back door and snowmobiling, and ice skating on the Saginaw Bay.
The property is located just two hours North of Detroit off I-75, only 45 minutes north of Birch Run’s outlet mall, 36 minutes from world famous Frankenmuth, and only 10 minutes from the Bay City Mall.

The host is very easy to work with and the house is comfortable and right on the water. Trails just across the road and bikes in the garage are nice as well.
House was just as described with everything you could need provided, perfectly clean and a great location. Randy was nice to talk to and a great host. I would highly recommend and would stay again!
This is our third visit to the property along the shore of Saginaw Bay. It is welcoming, comfortable, and has plenty of gathering space for all of our family members. The kitchen is well stocked, and the dining table seats 8-10 without any difficulty. It is adjacent to the woods and wetlands with running/biking trails.We always enjoy our visits and we’ll be back.
Beautiful beach front on a gorgeous great lake. Property is well cared for by the owners. Located in a high trust area with many opportunities for outdoor activities. Good wifi and amenities.
This is our 2nd time staying with Randy and his wife. It’s simply one of those hidden treasures that are so awesome! Something for everyone young and old!
We absolutely loved our stay at the beach house.Kellie and Randy were the perfect hosts. Everything we needed was provided for us
Looking forward to our next stay!
The view was spectacular the moment we walked in the door. We enjoyed the peacfulness of being on the water and listening to the ripples of water as we relaxed in the afternoon sun. Randy and Kelly couldn't have been more accomodating. I would recommend staying here to anyone who is looking for a place to escape from the rat race.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. The house was clean, cozy, and comfortable. Communication with the owner was excellent. Will stay here again in the future!
The chilly winds provided us with panoramic views of rolling white capsand even a wind surfer flying past our picture window! While we stayed warm and cozy in this lovely cottage.Wonderful hosts!
This is our favorite week of the year! We’ve been coming to Randy and Kelly’s for a decade. Our kids have grown up here. The place is perfect for two families. It has everything you could think of that you’d need for a perfect beach week. We’re so grateful!
Once a year my old college friends all get together to catch up, and this year we stayed here. The property, house, and amenities were all perfect for what we needed! The window views are beautiful of the lake!
Spectacular views and location, beautiful beach home.
Having never stayed in this area before this was the perfect booking. Prime location right on the water, close to all area activities and essentials, comfortable home, and plenty of room for the family. Highly recommended.
House is clean and right on the beach! Randy is a wonderful host and even took the extra effort of delivering home-grown veggies for us to enjoy! Looking forward to our next trip here.
The location and house was perfect for me and my friends for my birthday.

About the host
Hosted by Randy Swartz
We love this area so much that we moved here ourselves over 10 years ago.
Why they chose this property
The homes for sale in this small stretch of beach is very limited. Many are passed down from generation to generation and never make it to the market. Others are sold before hitting the market. That's the case with this house. When we learned the neighbors were thinking about selling it, we bought it from them before it reached the market. The neighborhood is transitioning from summer time cottages to year around living to showcase homes.
