About this property

Tequila Sunrise Beachfront Cottage on Lake Huron

Cozy cottage on private 100 feet of sugar sand beach. The cottage is located on a small bay on Lake Huron with island views. The water is shallow toward shore and gets deeper toward the mouth of the bay. This 788 sq. foot cottage has two bedrooms, one bath and sleeper sofa. All new windows and french doors installed winter 2019. Complete bathroom remodel, new kitchen island, and gas fireplace installed winter 2021 (fireplace available for use Labor Day to Memorial Day) . New tile floor, new baseboard heaters, new barn door, new pocket door, all walls covered in tongue and groove, new dining room table and seating, new side tables, and new dressers winter 2022. It is perfect for a couple or small family getaway.

Large covered porch is facing Lake Huron for breathtaking sunrises, moonrises and lounging on during the day watching the kids or your dogs play on the beach. Two kayaks and three stand up paddle boards are waiting for you to explore our bay. Basketball court and beach volleyball net are ready for fun out of the water. Container of beach toys is on the porch for kids to dig and play in the sand.

You can cook your meals right on the beach in the firepit, on the stove in the kitchen, or on the full sized gas grill behind the cottage. Dine outside on the covered porch or picnic right on the beach. The cottage is less than 10 miles to downtown Alpena for shopping, dining, winetasting, marina, chartered fishing, glass bottom boat tours, and exploring the NOAA maritime museum.

Our family of 5 (three adult children) and small dog stayed 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The layout of the cabin utilizes the space very well and it was nicely remodeled. The beachfront covered porch is a great place for morning coffee and afternoon shade. We chartered a fishing boat in Presque Isle and caught many lake trout, as well as toured the light house there. That was our only excursion, We mostly stayed at the cabin and enjoyed the water during the day and campfires at night. Would definitely go back!
Beautiful sunrise views

I was glad to have my windsurfer as there were a couple of breezy days for sailing. Although, a warning for board sailors, there are many large boulders along the coast in this area, … unfortunately, I broke a fin on one of them!  .

Amazing location and amenities

We had a great stay enjoying the beach, paddle boards, and kayaks. The volleyball court and sand toys were fun for our family to enjoy. What a beautiful location with sandy beach and lovely sunrises. The house had everything we needed, was cleanly, and quite comfortable. We definitely would love to come back!

Very relaxing

My 18, 24, and 25 year old chikdren and I stayed for a week. The water was so clear, it was incredible! It was also only 3 feet deep for the first 30 feet past shore. The slow incline into deeper water is perfect for families with younger kids. Everything we needed to relax and have fun was already there; 2 kayaks, 3 paddle boards, net set up on beach for volleyball and badminton, basketball hoop, fire pit, BBQ grill, board games, etc. They even have all you would need for little kids to play on the beach and build sand castles. The weather was great and the water was warm. We all had a wonderful time.

Unforgettable family fun on Lake Huron

Best vacation yet! This beautiful, well-maintained slice of heaven on the quiet shores of Lake Huron was absolutely perfect. My husband, 6-year-old, our pups, and I are avid travelers, always looking for that ideal spot with activities we all enjoy, and this was it! The home was spotless and had everything we could possibly need provided. The view and access to the private stretch of beachfront was simply magical. We spent every day, all day, enjoying the water, playing all sorts of sports, kayaking and paddleboarding along the coast, walking the beautiful beach, and sitting by the campfire toasting marshmallows. The hosts are awesome to work with and were so kind and accommodating. You couldn't ask for a better vacation. We can't wait to come back!
Two thumbs up!
Beautiful evening relaxing on the back porch.
Crystal clear waters!

Perfect beach getaway!

Gorgeous view of Lake Huron on a beachfront that feels very private. The home is beautifully updated and decorated. The owners have a meticulously clean place and well stocked kitchen and bath. The little things like having cut firewood for campfires and beach toys for adults and kids made the stay very enjoyable.We would definitely recommend this place to others and will book again next year.

Location was amazing! House was small but accommadated our family of 4 just fine. House is updated inside and very nice. SAND! The sand was impossible to keep out of the house and we tried! It was fine though we swept the floors each day and wasnt horrible. You are right on the beach afterall. Plenty of fire wood. The kayaks and paddle boards were used and in good shape. Life jackets provided was nice. Wouls highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again. Only negative was no washer/dryer on site. Not advertised with one I just over looked that as we usually pack a little lighter and wash our stuff

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute cabin on Lake Huron. The pictures don't do it justice. Quiet area on the lake yet close to Alpena, nature preserves and state parks. The sunrises and moonrises were spectacular, and we were able to see freighters on the lake. Water is clean, clear and shallow close to shore. The bay was perfect for kayaking. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Host was very responsive. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at the cabin and would highly recommend it to others!

What a wonderful house and couldn't be a more perfect beach location! Beautiful home and lots of character and charm. Located on the BEACH is actually on the BEACH!! Beach fire pit was one of our favorite spot every night for fires and hanging out. And the beach is white soft sand and the water is crystal clear! Will be definitely staying here again!

Nice clean place on a big sandy beach in a cove. Great views of the water from the small but nice and comfortable cottage. Feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, very peaceful, but only about 15 minutes from the town of Alpena.You will most likely not have cell service there. We had none with Verizon and AT&T. That being said, make sure you have written down the check in instructions and door code prior to getting there!If you have a small child, a pack n play will not fit in the bedrooms.Would definitely recommend!

10/10 on the beach

This was a long weekend girls trip. We had a great stay! House location and view is 10/10. The house is really nicely decorated on the inside with everything you could think of needing. Loved being able to have my dog she had the time of her life playing in the water. Owners thought of a lot of extras. We really enjoyed playing on the beach. Only downside was the flies, we forgot about them attacking in June lol.
