Cozy with a beautiful view!

We had a fantastic weekend! your home was so cozy & welcoming! It was exactly what we needed for our girls weekend. There is nothing better than a beach fire and the sound of waves! The full moon to light the lake was an added bonus! The house was very clean and had everything that we needed. The hosts were great to deal with and responded quickly to emails. We would absolutely recommend this home! It was a 10/10!

Beautiful Anniversary Getaway

Casa Playa is the perfect place to get away and enjoy the beautiful fall weather on Lake Huron. The house is cozy and well equipped with everything to prepare meals. Our young adult kids joined us for part of the trip. The garage with ping pong table, video game, and air hockey was a lot of fun too. But the best part is the view!! Great communication from the host as well. We look forward to coming back!

Great place

I had my children and grandchildren there for a week. We had a great time! Modern, air conditioned, and right on the beach. We had no issues to report, unlike many other places we've stayed. We really liked how the 3 upstairs bedrooms all led out to a common deck, and all faced the water for awesome sunrise viewing

Little Piece of Paradise

Everything about our stay was perfect. My partner, 2 sons, 14 and 11, enjoyed every minute at Casa Play. The private beach area, both decks, and the garage game room was exactly what we needed. Everything was clean and more stocked than any place weve been to. We will definitely be booking in the future.

Great family house on the beach

This very nicely clean furnished house on the beach was great for our multi family vacation. Second year here! Beautiful place that we loved! We also enjoyed the nice table and chairs on the deck for meals, coffee, reading. We -adults and kids- played the games in the garage. The kids some days spent all day in the sand and water.

Fabulous Week!

What a great week! This house has everything you will need. The hosts are so nice and always available to online chat if you need them. Fireworks up and down the beach so no need for the city ones if you prefer staying home. Did a couple puzzles and played many games. Game room to so fun for the kids! You won’t be sorry if you stay here.

A perfect getaway!

This is our second time staying at this property and we love it every time! My parents, my 4 year old, and I have plenty of space and love the spectacular views of Lake Huron from our bedrooms. My son LOVES the "fish room" and all the time he can spend on the beach. The hosts are very friendly and easy to communicate with when needed. When we're not at the house, we like to explore downtown Tawas. If you have kids, check out Dinosaur Gardens about 35 miles away! We look forward to our next stay already!

About the host

Hosted by Ivonne Soler

Host profile image
My name is Ivonne. Our family fell in love with Northern Michigan (Oscoda/Tawas area) and Lake Huron. The lake views and sugar sand beaches in the Gold Coast shoreline remind me of the beaches and views in Puerto Rico (where I was originally born). Definitely one of Michigan's hidden gems! We love it so much that we now have two properties in the area and hope to build a small family of repeat visitors who love it just as much as we do.
