About this property

Private Lakefront Cottage on North Shore Sand Point.

Welcome to "The Cottage" at Unua Buona Vita ! (A Good Life) This quaint, cozy cottage is located on the sandy shores of Lake Huron along Sand Point's finest stretch of beach with a birds eye view of Charity Island. Nested in the woods on over an acre of property, our cottage combines a beautiful beach with privacy and seclusion. The cottage itself is clean, spacious and extremely charming. You instantly feel relaxed when you are surrounded by the original knotty pine, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, stone fireplace, warm wood floors and a large sunroom overlooking the water. It's an authentic up North cabin, but it is updated enough to afford you all of the modern amenities. And it sits on the most beautiful stretch of private, sandy beach!!
Inside you will find the cottage is nicely furnished, well- appointed and spacious enough for the whole family to enjoy ! Aside from the warm, shallow, sandy, shoreline, you will find a small woods on the property that provides privacy from the road, creates a perfect up north atmosphere and is home to several white tail deer and the occasional fox. There is a BBQ grill, two kayaks and a fire pit for awesome beach bon-fires. Did I mention the sunsets? We have the most beautiful sunsets imaginable!
We have taken extra care to pay attention to the smallest of details and ensure our guests have a very clean and comfortable space for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation!
Whether you choose to spend your vacation curled up inside with a good book or outside enjoying the beach, we have you covered.
Sand Point is located in Michigan's Thumb. Just a couple of hours North of metro Detroit. The area is home to 90 miles of shoreline that is dotted with quaint, small beachside towns that are perfect for exploring. Our cottage is just five miles from Caseville and the many festivals throughout the year, and is only 30 minutes from Port Austin and its famous Farmers Market and Pt Aux Barques and pure Michigan's featured turnup rock.

Beautiful cottage on the lake

The cottage has tons of space for family and friends and is very clean. The beach is beautiful and spacious and also a great view of the lake from the house. The owners were easy to communicate with during our stay. Looking forward to staying here again in the future!

Beautiful Property!

Traci and Ted were fabulous hosts and were quick to respond with the few questions we had. Ted met us upon arrival and provided a tour of the house, which was a nice touch. The house itself was adorable - perfectly decorated and had great amenities. Love the little touches like flavored syrups for your coffee and Michigan mugs. The beach is gorgeous and private and simply can't be beat! Had the best week and hope to be back next summer!

Fabulous cottage, great beach!!

My family and I enjoyed a week together at this property, and it was absolutely wonderful. The cottage is really beautiful - well furnished, cozy, and comfortable. The beach front is spectacular - super sandy beach, where you can walk way out into the water before it got deep. The sunsets were beautiful in the evening, and we loved using both of the firpits. Traci is a fabulous host, quick to respond to any questions we had, and made us feel very welcome. We look forward to returning to this cottage in the future! It was the perfect summer beach vacation spot.

Family Vacation

This getaway was just what we needed. Family enjoyed beach life for a week. Beach area was beautiful and clean. Cottage had all the room we needed for family games, meals and family time reminiscing and making new memories. We occupied all 4 bedrooms that were very spacious and uniquely decorated. Owners of the property made our stay very welcoming.

Lake cottage with woodsy, beachy style, and oh-my-goodness the beach!

Oh my goodness this cottage's beach is the best! Walking on the warm sugar sand from the cottage to the water was a delight every day. The cottage is on a peninsula and therefore offers an unobstructed view of the sunrise. You can also see the sunsets paint the skies in the evening until the sun drops below the trees. (My advice--Just click the button to reserve it now. You can come back later to finish reading my review. You won't regret it.) The lake bottom here isn't rocky or mucky like many Lake Huron beaches. The sand under the water forms those interesting ripples that are fun to walk on with bare feet. The water is shallow a good way out, with a couple of sandbars. Even though a few leaves had started to turn colors, it was still plenty warm enough for swimming in early September. This was a workcation for me (an occaisional digital nomad). Every minute I could spare I spent on the beach or enjoying the sun on the patio. We were a small group, but I can see the cottage being a comfortable place for a family vacation, with plenty of seating and gathering options inside and outside. Explore all the nooks and crannies! The cottage is filled with thoughtful touches and nostalgic décor. If you are cold, there's extra blankets. It has the best equipped kitchen of all the vacation rentals I've had. I'm a foodie, and was pleasantly surprised to find an excellent variety of quality cookware, utensils, kitchen gadgets, and even a hand mixer. I made whipped potatoes! On the second day, I opened a closet door to find it stocked from floor to ceiling with games and puzzles. Later, I got a little teary when I opened a cupboard door in the dining room to see that the inside, while not really a functional cupboard, had been decorated. In it was an antique ice fishing pole, just like one I'd used as a child with my father and grandfather. The owners have gone above and beyond. I met them when I arrived, and they seemed so excited to show us around. I think I was only the second person to book the cottage. They should be really proud of the work they've done. The cottage is beautiful and I predict that many families will enjoy s'mores at the firepits, build sandcastles, frolic in the waves, and relax on the sandy beach.

Fantastic cottage on the beach!

We had a great time staying here and would highly recommend it. The cottage has an up north feel but still with all the amenities you could want. It has a great patio/yard area for the kids to play and a short walk down to the water to enjoy a beautiful stretch of private beach. The owners are very nice and and great with communication before and during our stay. Can't wait to come back!
