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.

Delightful Fall break

We have been wanting to visit Alpena. The house was the perfect hideaway from downtown. Super clean and great beach. Beautiful sunrises on the water, looked no different from Miami Beach. Close to Rockport State Rec. area for fossil hunting. Endless outdoor activities, and our timing let us see the salmon running in Thunderbay river. We will be back.

Amazing Cottage

Great location, clean home, good communication. Spent a week at this amazing beach front home with my wife and dog. We all had the time of our lives, including the dog. Kayaks were key to exploring the crystal clear waters of Lake Huron. We will be back!

Long weekend getaway

This property has a fantastic sandy beach. The Lake and sunrises are breathtaking. Even though we had clouds and rain most of our stay, the sounds of the lake and enjoying quality time with our family made this a very relaxing and memorable trip. We can't wait to vacation here again.

Doggone Great Vacation Spot

Our golden retriever is a total water dog. We booked this trip with him and our 2 teenagers in mind. Tequila Sunrise has the most peaceful beach as the back yard. We were able to keep Knox off leash most of the time. He had a great adventure and swam his little heart out. Thank you so much for sharing your property!

Great private getaway!

My elderly parents and I enjoyed a wonderful stay on this property. The listing is spot on. While more remote than I thought, the privacy and quiet it provided was wonderful. If we are traveling in the area again we would definitely go back.

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!

This cabin is beautiful! The water is fresh and clean! Me and my family loved everything about it! The check in process was simple! It had toys for my toddlers and games for the adults. It has a basketball rim and a volleyball net! And to top it all off it’s got kayaks You can’t be bored in this amazing cabin. It’s newly remodeled. Everything was clean and new! It has WiFi and I will definitely be coming back here again. It’s almost like a private beach I only seen 2 other ppl on the beach besides my family it was amazing.

Great views and just what we needed

Located about 20 minutes from Alpena on dirt roads that get VERY muddy after the rain, the house sits right on the beach. There is no sidewalk from the driveway to the house, so you'll constantly battle the sand. The beds are comfortable, and there's ample seating and space for a group of 3-4. The kitchen is well-stocked with space to make meals. The bathroom (especially the shower) is small but functional. We had issues with the water (high sulfur content and lost hot water the last day). We were told that as the season's first guests, the water system needed a break-in period. However, for the price, I would have liked this to be addressed before we arrived. Overall, it was a good find, and we loved the sunrises and our time walking the beach.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and the kitchen well equipped. Lots of games and TV for the rainy day. Comfortable beds. The owner was responsive to our texts. The beach is the best of all. Sandy bottom makes for great swimming! All in all the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had!

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.

Beautiful location!

Beautiful location and simple cottage with all you need for a fun few days at the beach. Great water toys (kayaks, paddle boards, etc) and beach activities (vollyball, etc) along with campfire on beach makes for full busy days. Cabin in clean and well appointed, and hosts are very responsive. Also love that we could bring our pup! Not luxurious, but pictures are very representative of what you get and it was a nice stay with an unbeatable view of the sunrise over Lake Huron!
