Enjoy your morning coffee gazing at Lake Huron from the front porch or relax in the shaded, backyard with a glass of wine in the evening.

Located near the end of a dead-end street in-town, you're less than a few hundred feet from sandy Lake Huron. Enjoy shared access to our beach next door or walk along the shore to the Oscoda boardwalk and public park with plenty of activities for the kids: a splash pad, playground, skate park, and maintained beach.

++WHAT TO EXPECT++

Each of our vacation rental properties possesses distinctive traits, and we consider it essential for you to be aware of these prior to your visit. Our goal is to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for every guest, and understanding these differences from your home can contribute to that. To assist in making your booking decision more informed, we present some key points for your consideration.

++SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS++

SHARED SPACES: This cottage shares beach access with our next-door property, Cottage Cove. Consequently, the beach is shared with other guests and the possibility of dogs.

CLEANLINESS: We prioritize offering a clean environment for your vacation. Every linen, appliance, surface, and fixture is thoroughly cleaned between stays. However, there are some points to note.

• Our spacious, circular driveway at our next-door property, Cottage Cove, is a great playground for kids and provides a smooth walking surface. However, it can lead to oil being tracked into the cottage from the asphalt, especially when guests walk barefoot from the beach. Despite our diligent cleaning efforts, the asphalt can sometimes leave oil marks on the cottage floors and bathtubs.

• With the beach comes sand, which we endeavor to remove completely. However, if we miss a few grains, rest assured they've been mopped, sprayed, or wiped clean.

• Some appliances might not appear spotless due to exterior rust or old paint jobs. We replace appliances as time and resources permit, and ensure they are cleaned between stays.

• Please note, these points are not meant to excuse substandard cleaning. If you ever feel our cleaning is insufficient, let us know immediately, and we'll rectify the situation.

COASTAL LIVING CHALLENGES: Our vacation rental homes are located on Lake Huron's shore, close to the Huron National Forest. Given our location and the age of our properties, please be aware of the following.

• Ants and other insects may find their way into the cottage, despite regular pest control efforts. You can help by maintaining food cleanliness and immediate cleanup.

• Rarely, mice may get past our precautions, especially during cooler weather. It's unlikely but worth considering when deciding to book.

ACCESSIBILITY: Our cottages are not handicap-accessible. Most doorways are narrow, and some spaces may present obstacles for those with mobility issues. Please review all photos to assess suitability before booking.

PROVIDED ITEMS: To simplify your packing, we supply essentials for your trip, but with certain limitations to stay competitive.

• Sanitary Items: Expect roughly 1 roll of paper towel, 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and 2 trash bags.

• Linens/Bedding: We provide each guest with 1 towel and 1 washcloth, based on the cottage's occupancy limit. Each bed is fitted with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, pillows with cases, and a light quilt. In the bathrooms, you'll find 1 floor towel and 1 hand towel. The kitchen is equipped with 1 dishcloth and 1 dish towel. Please note that we do not offer towel exchange services, nor do we provide extra linens beyond what is mentioned here.

• Kitchenware: We provide dinnerware to accommodate the maximum number of guests, plus basic cookware. e.g. at least 1 saucepan, 1 frypan and simple cooking utensils.

++CHECK-IN & ARRIVAL: REQUIRED STEPS++

Beach Property
The property was very clean and nicely size rooms. Communication with the property manager was outstanding and very timely. The location is very nice and the beach is only a few steps away. My only comments to help this property would be to install towel racks in the bathroom for wet towels and to place a chair or luggage rack in the 2 bedrooms so you do not have to place your items on the floor.

Perfect for what we needed
Overall it was good, and clean. The bathroom floor could use a little more scrubbing. The kitchen was very sparse on items, like there were only 2 spoons, but thankfully we werent there enough for it to matter.

Great Cottage with a perfect beach
This was our second year staying at this cottage, and yes we plan to go back. The cottage was clean! Close to everything, but a block off busy US-23. The large sandy beach area was perfect. The owner was in contact with us just before our stay and after check in to make sure we had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay.

Visiting family with the kids
I brought my son and daughter up for a few days to visit family. We have stayed here twice now and we love the location. The beach is right there and downtown is just a short walk. The property is clean and Aaron is always very responsive and accommodating. I definitely recommend it!

Oscoda
Needs more furniture. Only mirror is in the bathroom. No stopper for kitchen sink making washing dishes difficult. No ice cube trays so no ice. A grill spatula or tongs would help. All very minor but needed. Thank you. Area is gorgeous even the ticks. 😎

Relaxing
The house was just right for us. There was only one hot day that we had to deal with the no air conditioning, otherwise we didn’t notice. The beach was nice and clean! It is close to food and stores. It was quiet, especially for a holiday weekend. We enjoyed our stay!

Family visit
I brought my two children up to visit family in the area. We loved how close this was to the beach! My 14 year old son even suggested getting up at 6 to go down and watch the sunrise over the lake (highly recommended). The property was nice, clean, and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the public beach. We would definitely stay again.

Would stay again
I do wish the property had A/C. However, if I read the listing better I would have saw that. It was prefect weather and it was almost on Lake Huron, so we didn’t miss it too much. Prefect spot to get away for the weekend.

Family Getaway
Super cute place for a family getaway. The owner was very responsive. Make sure you write down or screenshot the checkin instructions as the cell service around there is very poor and we had to drive around to get enough service to get back to the website. Also, I think more amenities in the house would be helpful. We flew in from another state, so were unable to bring extra things like towels and had to go to the laundromat while we were there.

Beautiful Cozy Cottage
This was such a wonderful place to stay in Oscoda! The property has an excellent location, it was clean and just as advertised in the listing, and the management team was informative, responsive, and helpful. The care they take with their property is obvious and we had a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Place
The house doesn't look that great from the outside but the inside has been renovated and is beautiful. It was spacious and airy. The bathroom had a walk-in shower which looked brand new. Ceiling fans in all rooms kept the place cool. There is nothing to improve.
