We actually stayed at the Miami Beach Resort which is also owned by The Lazy Fish. Everything was perfect. I am so grateful that I was able to get away with my mom ...she is not in great health and she was able to enjoy the beach and area ...Thank you Nancy and Tim for the spot! Check in was easy and everything was perfect!

Loved being right on the beach, Nancy and Tim are great with communicating and responded fast. The only issue was the electrical kept flickering and the Wi-Fi went in and out. But I know they were working on it. We had one bad experience with another guest who didn’t watch their kids very good and we were left to watch over them a hand full of times.

This is our second time coming here with our family and dogs, and we absolutely love it. The cabins are nice and the direct access to the beach with miles of sandy shores can’t be beat. We will definitely be back

Great getaway

This spot is great for a long weekend getaway if you’re looking to enjoy a Michigan beach. It’s right on the water with great views and kayak access. Quiet area but still close enough for a short drive to little towns if you want to go out to eat or walk around. Hosts were very friendly!

Great Place to Stay

My husband and I stayed here before and came back because we enjoyed it so much. We love waking up in the morning and looking out at the water while having our coffee. It doesn’t get any better than this. Tim and Nancy are great.

Very beautiful will definitely book again

This place is right on the water. Being able to go right outside on the beach is such an amazing experience. The place itself was very cute and had everything we needed. I loved it and if you are looking for somewhere cozy with a nice view of the water this place is perfect. They also had a bonfire which we really enjoyed.

Amazing Experience

We had a great time and loved our little cabin. The view of the lake and sunrise was beautiful. They had everything you could possibly need and was a comfortable place to stay. The staff and owners are super kind and down to earth. It was a great pleasure doing business with them and we are already looking forward to our next visit!

Best Little Beach in Oscoda!

I love The Lazy Fish! The cabins are well set up and the view is perfect! There's a beach firepit for chilly nights, and plenty of beach chairs for enjoying the sun. Tim and Nancy are super easy to communicate with. This was my 2nd stay, and it will be my annual Oscoda destination.

Perfect Beachside Getaway for One (and a Pup!)

I enjoyed a peaceful weekend at The Lazy Fish, a quaint studio right on the water. The cabin was perfect for a solo traveler and my dog. The owner was welcoming and easily reachable, adding to the comfort of my stay. The private grill and shared firepit were great for enjoying the outdoors. There was plenty to explore in and around town. Ideal for anyone seeking a simple lakeside escape.
