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 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.

Beautiful views

This house was so nice and there were beautiful views of the lake from every room! It was the perfect place for my husband and me to celebrate our 20th anniversary. The communication with the owners prior to arrival was great and made the whole trip stress free. The house had everything we needed and was very clean.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful time at this house. We stayed there with friends of ours and had such a relaxing time. The beach was great. The water was pretty shallow quite a ways out. The kids loved the ping pong and air hockey tables. Restaurant recommendations were appreciated. Mangos Mexican was amazing! Thanks so much for sharing your property with us.

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!

Amazing location on Lake Huron

My family and I spent our annual Labor Day trip at this house. It was a great house for what we needed, everybody had a bed. It was located right on Lake Huron and my nephews got to do a lot of rock hunting. We found a lot of Petoskey stones and pudding stones. There were only two things that were a bit inconvenient. There was no address sign so it was hard to find the house when we arrived at night. Also there wasn’t an easy way to get down to the water. There were just two boards on either side as a way to walk over the rocks. My mother, who is in her 70s, was unable to go down to the water because of this. Other than that this is an amazing place to stay.

A hidden gem we can’t wait to return to!

After enjoying a wonderful stay Sunday-Saturday, my family of four cannot wait to return! This property is even better than the pictures show! A true piece of paradise, each day we were there, I found myself in awe of the beautiful surroundings! The accommodations were perfect for our family. We were blessed with beautiful weather, during our stay, and enjoyed every minute we could in the sun & sand. The small amount of time we spent indoors, my girls (ages 8&9) had so many fun things to keep them busy- from card games, to arcade games and ping pong & air hockey. The kitchen was stocked with every appliance, utensil, and dish you could possible need! We were so happy spending time at the house that we ordered groceries and just cooked each meal there, and never ended up leaving the house. The house was so sweetly decorated. From the adorable breakfast nook, to the comfy furniture and beach decor- I was never short of reasons to be thankful for the opportunity to stay in paradise. The hosts were so kind, and always accommodating, whenever I reached out! Saving the best for last: each morning, my husband and I woke to a beautiful sunrise in (a very comfy) bed, and said goodnight to a beautiful moon over the rippling water, from the same spot! The pictures I have on my camera roll, from mornings with coffee on the deck, afternoon fun in the sun, to evenings with a glass wine, give the surroundings little justice, but will help tide us over until we are able to return!

Under Construction

While the sound of waves crashing on the beach is a soothing sound, it isn’t soothing when those waves are competing daily from dusk-to-dawn with the sound of earth moving and excavation equipment putting in new sewer lines directly in front of your rental for the length of the rental period. The house physically rattled at times during all of this. One didn’t have to fear sleeping away the vacation with this going on. This excavation interrupted traffic, as well. We were at the mercy of the construction vehicles when it came time to enter or exit the property. Traffic was limited to one-way only depending on what was going on. There was no driveway, but only a narrow (one-vehicle width) packed dirt path to US 23 North. The packed earth was the source of lots of swirling dust as the earth-moving equipment rumbled up-and-down the road in front of the rental. Had we known this construction would be going on, we would not have rented this property. It’s as simple as that. A discount on what we paid would be an appropriate gesture to compensate us for this inconvenience and disappointment. We did not consider this a positive experience and cannot give this outcome anything more than a one-star rating. Thank you for this opportunity to voice our opinion.

While the house, with its large drive and parking area, sits relatively close to the road, you totally forget that once you are in the door. The entire focus of the house is the beach. Views and access are excellent and the beach was in great shape and virtually deserted (early Oct). The house was spotless and had everything I required. The kitchen was well equipped, living room spacious and comfortable, and the mattress on the bed was, like the entire house, "just right". My goal for this trip was to just kick back and I did a lot of walking the beach and spending time on one or the other of the decks. Both provide great views. I particularly enjoyed watching the bald eagle that flew over just about every afternoon. I didn't make much use of the game room but it is well equipped to keep multiple people occupied. There are also multiple tvs for those who need to view something other than the lake.Casa Playa is one of my favorite places to stay on the stretch of Huron below Oscoda and I hope to get the chance to stay again in the future.

My sister, my niece and my daughter and self, stayed at Casa Playa. The house was very clean. The location to "town" is about 5 minutes away, which was awesome. There were two restaurants and a large grocery store and there's a party store specializing in various beers and liquors that was amazing. Location, huge plus. We had to contact the owner about an internet issue, but the owner was responsive and everything was handled first thing in the morning. The third room with the bunk beds is definitely targeted to kids. My 30-something girls slept in there but both said the bunks are designed for adults. They did have pull-out cots, etc., but I think this owner would be better off putting twin beds throughout all the rooms for better sleeping accommodations. That would be my only suggestion; otherwise, everything was great.

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

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.
