Located just a couple miles from downtown AuGres, this cozy beachfront house has been fully updated including brand new furniture throughout, tile floor, appliances, HVAC, smart 55" TV, WIFI, new paint and decor! With new loft it can sleep up to 8-9 comfortably.

Bedroom #1 (downstairs lake view) has King size bed with a private en-suite bathroom.
Bedroom #2 (upstairs lake view) has one King size bed and pullout couch.
The upstairs has also has a loft area with new Queen, Full, and Twin beds and a shared full bathroom.

Great Lake House

Great Lake house for a family get away. Kids loved playing in the sand and swimming. Loved having access right out the door to the beach without having to pack everything up and drive somewhere. House was what we needed with many sleeping options.

Can't wait until next year!

Our annual girls weekend was made perfect with this stay! Everything about the home and the beach was amazing. The beds were comfortable. Plenty of bathrooms. And all of the amenities you could ask for. We were so sad to leave after our long weekend, but we can't wait until next year.

Amazing lake front home

This clean, modern, well stocked home was located directly on Lake Huron with a beautiful sandy beach leading into the lake. Our family spent a few days playing in the water, and our evenings were spent sitting around the fire pit while listening to the waves crash and looking up at the stars. This property could not possibly have been more relaxing for our family vacation that included two kids and a set of grandparents. There is no reason not to book this property and we are already trying to figure out when to come back!

Beautiful stay on the beach

Love the house and location of this property. The upgrades of the gas grill and glass door in the master bath were wonderful adds. Along with the upgrade in pan in the kitchen. House was clean and tidy and we could not have asked for anything more. The only recommendation to the owner is that it is time for a good power washing on the outside of the house. It is getting lots of webs and critters. I would still highly recommend. This was our second year visiting and look forward to the next. Thank you!!

Heaven on Earth

We had a wonderful time at the Beach House. The house was clean and plenty of space for all. Anything we could have needed was there. Even the beds were comfortable. The beach was clean and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend the Beach House to anyone looking for a relaxing time at the lake. I will definitely be coming back.

Everything we wanted

We stayed here with 2 families, we each had 1 kid, they loved playing on the beach. We brought our fishing boat, there was plenty of space to park the boat and vehicles. We caught walleye, and bass close to the cottage. It was well stocked and very user friendly. We had a great time!

Lake House

This was our second visit to the lake house as a family. We were happy to be here again, but a bit saddened by the new house build next door. It took away some of the coziness and seclusion. Wonderful beach. Great stay as a family, Jerry is always in very good communication.

Lake Huron Paradise

We were thrilled to find everything just as expected. The photos depict a perfect place for peaceful solitude and relaxation. Our favorite spot was the sunroom with a fabulous view and wonderful breeze. This house is well maintained and Jerry is great to work with. We really appreciate finding somewhere close to home and can’t wait to return.

Great time was had by all

Great property, our 7 year old had a great time playing on the beach and in the water. The house was very clean, I only gave it a 4 for cleanliness because there was some bloody meat packaging outside. We left some charcoal for the next renter, enjoy. Fire pit was great and wood is available for sale in the neighborhood. Thanks for letting us stay in your home, we will probably stay again.

Beautiful home, beautiful view!!

The house was nicely updated, clean and very comfortable!! We felt very much at home. There were snacks and wine on the table to greet us and the most beautiful view of the lake. The sunroom was our favorite place to hang out when it rained but, the rest of the time was spent on the beach!! We really appreciated that mom's dog was allowed. Very peaceful, quiet area. Owners were very accommodating.

Excellent Summer Retreat!!

This property was an absolute delight! Charming, cozy, well decorated without feeling stuffy or overcrowded - even with 4 adults and 2 kids occupying the home. The care the owners put into the property was noticeable from the first moment we entered. Although closed up between rentals on a 95+ degree day, the air in the house smelled fresh and was cool. Once we opened up the windows and turned on the many fans, it was just the perfect temperature for our entire hot and sunny stay. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very large with new furniture and bedding, and plenty of room for personal items both in dressers and closets. Jerry recommended we bring extra beach towels, but we didn't really need them since they provided more than enough beach and bath towels for our crew. The yard and beach were beautiful. We enjoyed hours of midday sun playing in the sugar sand and warm, shallow water - be sure to bring extra sunscreen because you'll never want to go indoors! The fire pit was used nightly for s'mores and relaxing before falling asleep to the sounds of the surf. This is hands down the best Saginaw Bay private beach house we've had the pleasure of renting in the 10+ years we've been staying in the area and we can't wait to come back again.
