SandyCabins Duplex Beach House - Lake Side Cabin
This knotty pine duplex cabin is situated above a private barking sand beach on the beautiful Lake Huron. With a fire pit, a butterfly 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 sits right on the water with direct access to our private beach which you’ll share with the guests in the Garden 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.

Family trip
The beach was absolutely stunning. The cabin was nice maybe in need of a bigger couch or a comfy chair so accommodate more people. I rented the whole cabin front and back. We enjoyed the fire at night. My husband passed in August and Sept 30th was our Anniversary l just needed to not be home. It was peaceful

Paul was great to deal with and answered all of my questions before we got there. The place was very clean and had all the comforts of home. We enjoyed the view, the fire pit every night and all the walks on the beach with our fur babies. We were also blessed with wonderful weather. Thanks Paul!

Great place on a private beach
Can’t say enough positives about this property. It is clean, private, well stocked, and has a fantastic private beach. The water is clean and has a sandy bottom. My family enjoyed the trip and we can’t wait to come back.

Perfect location for relaxation in the sun on the beach and floating days away on the water
This was our second stay at Sandy Cabins, this time we were on the lake side. With the picture-perfect lake views and ease of access to the sandy beach, the lake side cabin was a great place to relax. The cabin amenities are as listed, covering the basic needs for those spending time on vacation. The upper bedroom - with a full bed and set of twin bunk beds - is accessible by a narrow spiral metal staircase. Keep this in mind if members in your group have limited mobility. The kitchen was equipped with the basics. We liked that we could do laundry as needed on site. The mattresses are newer but box springs and bed frames seemed to be very squeaky. In addition to being right on the beach, the cabins are only a short drive away from the attractions in Caseville and Port Austin. If you have a wagon or cart, bring it with you as it will make moving your supplies/luggage/etc. to and from the parking area and the cabin. We are looking forward to returning the Sandy Cabins next summer.

Lovely location
The cabin was sweet, and extremely well appointed. I brought a few kitchen items in case it was only basics, but we needed nothing. We had hoped to be able to hear the waves at night, but cabin is so well insulated that really couldn't hear them at all. I'm sure in the summer, with windows cracked, it sounds great. Our one issue was the completely unsupportive mattress. The owner said it was memory foam and new, but our 8-year old memory foam mattress at home is much firmer. We spent the second and third nights in the smaller bed in the next bedroom, which was quite a bit better.

We enjoyed our visit. The weather didn’t cooperate, so we stayed indoors. Most of the time we did a fair amount of cooking in the kitchen as well. It was enjoyable to have a bonfire and listen to the lake.

Best Vacation Ever
We’ve visited Port Austin a few other times but this lake front cabin was ideal for the whole family and our beautiful German Shepard Gus.
It had all the amenities and made us feel right at home. Also, the hosts (Paul & Jade) payed such great detail to the little things that made this trip that much more memorable.
We will definitely stay here again and I highly recommend this charming gem to anyone looking for a quiet and memorable getaway.
Thanks again Paul & Jade!
