About this property

SandyCabins Duplex Beach House - Garden Side Cabin

  • This knotty pine duplex cabin is situated among young fruit trees with a private barking sand beach on the beautiful Lake Huron. With a fire pit, a bountiful 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 faces the garden, but it is just a few steps around the back for direct access to our private beach which you’ll share with the guests in the Lake 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.

Very nice pet-friendly cabin

The cabin was very clean and roomy. Parking was a little tight for multiple vehicles, but the property felt nicely secluded. The hosts also provided plenty of thoughtful extras. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful beachfront

Clean and comfortable beds and pillows. We loved the beach, can’t beat Lake Huron! Walts meat market is one minute away and has everything you many need. Short drive to downtown Port Austin. Great host and we will visit again. Amazing soaking tub with plenty of hot water.

Family Fourth Adventure

This was a lovely home that was perfect for our extended family. We rented both the garden and beach sides. I would highly recommend this property, very well-stocked pet friendly for an additional fee and the most amazing beachfront. The neighbors did a great 4th of July display for an added bonus.

Nice VRBO

Nice property. Please note all pics showing Beach and waterfront are a short walk past attached cottage (that is actually on the beach). This really is a shared property with beach access. Owner was very good in communicating upon my request.

Beautiful Cozy Cottage with beach

This house worked Perfectly for our party of four. The beach is beautiful and it is located on the highway right in the middle of Caseville and Port Austin. It was well stocked in a semi-private setting. The only downfall was the spiral staircase. It is meant for smaller people and could be hard to maneuver. We would stay here again for sure.

Late August 2024 Stay

Great location and beach. Very nice and clean accomodations. Three things keep me from giving this an outstanding rating. Wasn't thrilled with shower. Being six foot tall and a senior, didn't like having to climb into the tub and then dealing with a shorter shower head. Had to rotate the couch so that we could both face the tv tucked up in a corner. And the WiFi was painfully slow. But let me close by emphasizing that the beach and housing were otherwise outstanding!

Port Austin Perfection!

My family and I had an amazing time at the Sandy Cabins! It was our first time visiting Port Austin, and we made memories that will last a lifetime. The cabin is very cozy, with a rustic feel. It has plenty of space for your family, plus everything you need for the perfect up north experience. The beach is just steps away and is absolutely beautiful. We went there every day during our visit. Besides the beach, the cabin has a great fire pit and Adirondack chairs for the best up north campfire experience! Perfect for making s’mores! The cabin is also close to many activities and restaurants. This was my daughter’s first up north Michigan trip. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience for her. Last, but certainly not least, Paul is an amazing host. He is very accommodating and quick to respond to any messages you send him. We will definitely visit Port Austin again, and we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else!
