Beachy, Updated Home

Darren D.

Perfect place for a young family. We stayed 6 nights and being close to the beach (legit 1 minute walk) on a quiet dead end street was perfect. Nicely updated, all amenities (minus washer and dryer) included and close to restraunts, grocery store, main beach with park and several ice cream stores! The owner was fantastic and responded almost instantly to all communications and was easy going. Highly recommend this place is your staying in or near Oscoda!

We’ve been staying in rentals all over Michigan for years, always on the search for “our spot” that we could return to year after year with our children. We’ve finally found it in Oscoda! The location is ideal with its proximity to Lake Huron and the Au Sable. The beach is clean and secluded, and the local park with splash pad, playground, beach, and local ice cream shops make for a perfect afternoon with kids. The home is older but has nice modern updates - tastefully decorated, uncluttered (great for those sneaky kid hands!), and clean! The beds and furniture are comfortable, and the rain showers are a fabulous way to start or end your days. The kitchen is stocked with higher quality cook and serve ware, and the appliances are top of the line. There is no washer or dryer but there are plenty of places to hang your things to dry, as well as a nice size mud room for storage. We enjoyed grilling, dining, and campfires in the back yard and relaxing on the front porch. Aaron was responsive and reasonable, and we look forward to partnering with him again for next year’s rental!

We stayed at Aaron's place for 3 nights in mid-July. The house is on a quiet dead-end street 3 houses away from the path that accesses the beach. The house itself is well-represented by the listing - there are two bedrooms on the main floor (master bed/master bath and the bunk-bed room) and one upstairs (king bed) with a day bed/seating area at the upstairs landing. There is a second full bathroom on the main floor as well. There is a 'mud room' past the dining area to place beach stuff to keep sand away from the rest of the house. The back patio is relatively private, with a nice grill and 6-top table. They have done a great job with use of space - while it's not a large house there is plenty of room for coexisting without falling over each other. All of the appliances are new, the house is well-kept and very well designed. We stayed with 3 kids under 5, and the house was infinitely better than any hotel room for the sanity of all parties involved. The house does not have AC, however the house did stay relatively cool with shade, ceiling fans in each room, and its proximity to Lake Huron. When we were here, it was 97F and very humid, but the house did stay significantly cooler than the ambient environment. Overall, we had a wonderful time, and this place is a gem for Oscoda travel!

This house was all we wanted and more! The actual house is beautifully updated and very roomy. Even though we happened to pick a chilly weekend to head up to Oscoda, we still had a great time hanging at the house watching movies and grilling. We did get to head down to the beach which is just a few steps away and there’s a public park in walking distance that’s full of kid-friendly activities. I’d definitely recommend this place to a friend!
