What a great place for a family or multi family vacation!!! Best rental house on St Clair River or Lake for vacationing. We have everything you need to be comfortable and happy with plenty of dining and drinking options close to Seasmoke. All beds have linens, comforters, pillows. 4 bedrooms upstairs on 2nd floor. All bedrooms have their own private full bathrooms (sink, toilet, shower/bath). 1 really big bedroom on first floor with bunk bed that has a double bed on bottom and single bed on top. Attached to that bed room is the 'sleeping porch', which is 100% enclosed and has two single beds. 8 total beds in the house! Full Kitchen. Microwave, coffee maker, sink, full size refrigerator and freezer, gas stove and oven. Kitchen table and a larger dining room table in the dining room. Kitchen is stocked with plates, cups/glasses, cooking pans, utensils, etc. Gas grill on front porch.
Washer and Dryer located on 1st floor. Plenty of parking for at least 5 cars. 300 foot dock that is ready for your boat! There are multiple boat launches from 1 to 3 miles away.
The yard is BIG and PRIVATE! Privacy fence on one side of yard and a line of big trees on the other. the front yard (water front side) feels like a private garden park and wonderful vacation ambiance.
The property is big enough to host a big family or small family. This house is NOT on an island so you are not confined to just what an island has to offer. There is much to do around Algonac, Marine City, St Clair and New Baltimore.
Easy boat ride out to Anchor bay. the entire lake has a sandy bottom. no rocks to hit! If you have never seen the St Clair River or Lake St Clair, you wont believe the water. it's crystal clear but the water looks like the Caribbean. The water is blue is just gorgeous.
We cater to families, fisherman and boaters. I have a wife and 3 kids and two boats. we just love it in Algonac. we do fishing from the dock and boat. you can take the kids tubing or skiing (from your boat) right in front of the house. this is a nice, clean, crime free area of Michigan. it's safe and fun.
The house has 5 newer window air conditioners. they are quite. The house also has forced air furnace for heating.
There is a big deck on ground level looking at the water. the deck/porch is covered and has a Weber gas grill.

The location was beautiful and perfect for our family's needs!
The property is large and was great that each bedroom had a bathroom. Plenty of space for our group. The owner Tom was great to work with.

perfect for fisherman! perfect location
The location make it easy to access Lake St Clair, as the house sits on the North Channel of the St Clair River. kitchen had everything we needed. beds were comfortable. Yard was big. plenty of parking. Older house..it's not fancy or luxurious, but we loved it for our family fishing vacation.

Guys fishing trip
We spent 5 days fishing in the area. House worked out great and we caught lots of fish in the river and the lake. Even landed a 60 lb sturgeon. Back porch was a great hangout even in the rain. Location was perfect for everything!

easy and quiet
Large house with multiple bathrooms, huge living space, perfect for our family of 5 and visiting cousins occasionally. Clean, fast wifi, but more importantly quiet, and personal access to the lake. There is a restaurant within 2 minutes walking distance for those times you want take out to eat by the water or to eat in. Did I say quiet and relaxing? Tom is quickly accessible via text or call and also quick to troubleshoot any problems.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us. we sincerely liked hosting your family. I know we had some small technical issues when you arrived, but i'm glad we could work through them over the phone. Thanks for being a great renter. we appreciate you making it easy for everyone.
Over all this was the most pleasant stay I have ever had. There was plenty of parking for 2 boat rigs. The dock was set up perfectly. Easy to dock boats and charge. The layout of the house was great. The area was peaceful. the neighbors were extremely kind and helpful. Everyone wants to come back. Working with the owner was extremely easy. He was very informative about the area. I would rate the stay as a 5. Thanks for a good time.
This house has an interesting history. It was just right for our large group of two parents, two adult kids and three teenagers. Everyone had their own bedroom and bath. The host was easy to contact with any problems-we blew a circuit breaker when cooking breakfast. The pictures could be updated on the outside as the hanging swing is no longer there. The dock made it easy to bring down our boat from the marina. Loved the location-lots to do in the area on rainy days, and of course the water and the view of Harsens Island were great.

Thank you again for choosing our house for your family to stay and get together. It's always heart warming when more family memories are made. Our house keeper said your group was EXCELLENT! My neighbors told me the same thing! thank you! i know there are options (but none with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms! Ha) so thank you for choosing our river house! best wishes for all your family.

Wonderful gathering place
We needed a place to gather a large crowd for Christmas. This was a great lay out. We all had a wonderful time. The only thing I think I would mention is that the kitchen hasn't been updated since the 1930s. Tom is a very nice man to talk to and we appreciated the honesty he provided including the clanky radiator's. Oh the childhood memories. :)
It was a great time.
Thanks Tom.

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. the first sentence in the description of this house says "it's easier and saves you a money to make an inquiry and contact me directly instead of booking online, but i do accept online reservations. Just click "ask owner a question" to the right."
i'm forced to take online reservations (like this renter did, and i advised against it), but my house is not for everyone. i explain this to everyone i talk to on the phone and via email. my house is not fancy. it's not perfect for a group of non younger ladies to vacation at. I tried to explain this as clearly as possible. i'm fine with a 3 star review, because my house is NOT a LUXURY resort. it's an awesome cottage on the most beautiful fresh water in North American located ideally with access to the North, South, Middle and Sni Channels and of course the big Lake St Clair. Thanks for staying with us. You are welcome back anytime we have availability.
I deliberately upload bad pictures of my house to keep everyone's expectations aligned with the property. My house is actually nicer than the pictures; so i don't under understand the review; but that's OK.
Located on the North Channel of the St. Clair river with excellent access to the water. We loved the fact that each bedroom had it's own bath and shower. We have three daughters and husbands and 4 grandkids so it really helped to have all the bathrooms. There is a lot of parking and it is next door to a nice local restaurant. It is close to the Krogers grocery store and not far from downtown Algonac. We swam in the river next to the 300 ft dock. There is a break wall and a ladder to get in and out, the water is deep and clear, there is no beach. There is a very slight current. This is a nice place for a retreat with no expectations of a fancy place. Just a good place to rest, talk, play games, watch boats and fish if that is your thing. The owner is very accessible and helpful if you experience problems while there.

For people reading this...this is probably this guest's 3 year in a row renting my house. They must like it or they would find another place. 100% thankful for all returning guests (about 65% of guests are repeats) and this guest, Justin, is SO awesome! they always clean up well and let me know of any issues! thanks a million!
We have been traveling up to lake St Clair for a decade now. Before, we would stay in hotels. They were dirty, crowded, had unfriendly staff and we were beginning to question our saftey.
The location of this lake house was AWSOME!
You are on the water, the neighbors are great and neighborhood is quiet and clean.
The house and Tom were GREAT!
We had privacy, water front access, felt secure leaving all our fishing gear in boats and had enough room in the house to accommodate our group.
We will definitely be looking forward to this again!

Wonderful, but...
The inside of the house was everything advertised. Bedrooms and baths were terrific. But the house really needs some TLC. The outside needs painting BADLY. The photo here is not close to the way it actually looks and the doors on the second floor can't be opened so bedrooms on that side could not get fresh air. It's a wonderful house but it needs help. Having the dock was also great. We caught a pretty nice size Pike. We would stay again.
If you rent, seek out the next door neighbors. There is history over there that needs to be shared.
To the owners: If you think the house, particularly the kitchen, is getting cleaned before new renters, I will tell you that we left it a whole lot cleaner than when we arrived.

Thank you for taking the time to leave me some honest feedback. Yes, the interior cold use some painting and maybe the exterior deck too (rest of the house has vinyl siding, so not sure what else to paint on the exterior). I'm sorry the kitchen was not super clean. i'll be sure talk to my house keeper about this immediately. That's not acceptable, not at all. i'm sorry you walked into a kitchen that was not super clean. I really strive to keep this old house (over 100 years old now) as clean as possible. I want all guests to be happy when they arrive and throughout their stay. Yea..the neighbors are so entertaining. They have the best stories and know all the history of the entire town and area! Thanks for choosing my house. if you come back to Algonac or St Clair again, we'd love to have you and your family again!.

Had a great time at the house in July 2017. Loved the four bedrooms upstairs each with their own private bath.The kids loved the big downstairs bedroom with enough beds to accomodate the five of them.The house had everything we needed. It was comfortable and cozy. The yard is well kept and there is a beautiful view of the water. Tom is the attentive owner and responded quickly to an issue we encountered. I would recommend this home to anyone who wishes to have a relaxing good time with their families.

About the host
Hosted by Tom
I bought Seasmoke because I fell in love with the St Clair River and Lake St Clair. The fishing is the best I have ever experienced. I decided on this house because of it's ability for me have my friends and family there. There is so much room in the house. If you have any questions about fishing or boat, just ask!
Why they chose this property
Algonac is full of the nicest people in the world. It's a very easy going lake town full of people who also enjoy the water. Once you step foot on the property, you'll understand why I had to have it. It's just that much fun to there!
What makes this property unique
The front porch (over looking the water) has a ceiling fan and full roof. When you are there, it's like you have own private resort.
