Port Huron - Sandy Feet Cottage, steps to Lake Huron
About this house rental
Situated in Sarnia, this charming house for $195 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. VRBO is wrong. Sandy Feet Cottage has a deeded access beach that is a 3 minute walk, about 2 blocks, to a beach that is shared with 6 other cottages. Please ignore the Artificial Intelligence created language above the property title that says that it is a 7 minute drive to a public beach, which is correct if you want another beach. We have been unable to have VRBO make the appropriate changes to list the property correctly. Sandy Feet’s beach is accessible by walking only, and is a very short distance away. View the photos to see the access point and beach. ******************************************* COVID 19 Update: The following steps will be taken to ensure the safety and health of our guests and mitigate the spread of C19 or any other virus: 1. Additional cleaning and sanitizing by disinfecting the cottage with professional, hospital-grade cleaners that are specified by the CDC/EPA to address C19 virus. 2. Cleaning staff will be spending extra time on disinfecting all doorknobs, light switches, remote controls, etc. as recommended by the CDC. 3. All guests will have access to additional paper goods (plates, napkins, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.) as well as disposable silverware, cutting boards and additional cleaning & disinfecting supplies. At the end of a row of 5 cottages, along a private street, sits a 1935 cottage, Sandy Feet, that embraces 21rst century living without letting go of its beloved past. This quaint & timeless *air-conditioned* cottage sleeps 7 - 8 comfortably in three bedrooms (Primary bedroom with new king mattress & adjustable frame in 2022, 'Beach Room' with 2 XL twin beds & pullout twin trundle, & 'Bunk Room' with 2 twin bunks & antique Ranch Hand's bed). Sandy Feet's daily & weekly prices are completely *inclusive* of cleaning fees and taxes. All the basic amenities for guests (paper goods, soaps, spices/condiments & coffee/tea/hot chocolate) are included - even oatmeal and cinnamon rolls for breakfast and cookies warm from the oven!! Nightly and weekly rates (as well as minimum stay) vary depending upon the season. Check the calendar for the rate on your requested dates. There is an additional charge for more than 5 guests, including family/friends who arrive/sleep after your arrival date. Relax at Sandy Feet in a living room with leather couch, large screen TV (Netflix & Hulu), board games & puzzles, a full kitchen, dining room, bathroom with shower, and sunroom/enclosed porch (with a small view of the lake). Located across the street from Lake Huron, a giant deck wraps around two sides of the house with gas grill, umbrella table, chairs, and loungers. The huge yard, great for badminton, bocce ball & croquet, also has a fire pit for evening bonfires. There's a garage with scooters and all the beach toys & games imaginable for the young and young-at-heart. Grab your lightweight wagon with beach chairs, towels and cooler (provided) and head down the block to the paved path to the beach where you can gaze over miles of open water, with it's ever-changing waves & sand. And there's no better place on earth to sip a cup of morning coffee and watch the sun rise. Sandy Feet Cottage is in a superb location in Fort Gratiot Township on the 'north end,' only 1 mile from the mall and all of the major superstores and restaurants (both local-owned favorites & all the chains) - and less than 5 min. to Starbucks, Barnes & Noble Books, and Krafft 8 Movie Theater. You're in downtown Port Huron in 10 minutes, with all of the great shops, restaurants, farmer's market, River Walk, marinas and more. The picturesque vacation village of Lexington, with their great summer music series, quaint shops, fun beach and long pier walk is only 15 - 20 minutes to the north of Sandy Feet. And for those visitors not from SE Michigan, it's no more than 60 minutes to Tiger Stadium and the Fox Theater in downtown Detroit to catch a ballgame or professional theater. With this quick and easy access, unusual for most cottage experiences, there is some road noise from nearby Lakeshore Road. This is the only access up the 'thumb' of Michigan, so guests hear traffic noise when on the deck or lawn, or windows are open. This charming cottage has antique wicker in the sunroom, local vintage postcards on the walls, a very unusual antique 'ranch hand's' bed, mission rocker, maple Shaker dining set, and other retro touches. But there also are three 'smart' TVs (49' in lvg rm) with Netflix and Hulu Plus provided (and very basic cable for a bit of network TV), a recently-remodeled kitchen with microwave and all needed small & large appliances, a Bluetooth music system (streams music from apps like Pandora or Spotify or play your own stored tunes in your smart phone or tablet), washer & dryer (supplies provided), and high speed internet augmented with an additional router to be sure there is plenty of strong Wi-Fi access for all of your devices. We want you to be able to relax on your vacation, so in addition to linens & towels (both bath & beach), all paper goods, shampoo, soap, spices, coffee, tea & hot chocolate are provided. There's even extra sunscreen, bug spray, toothpaste, & deodorant if needed! Cozy throws & blankets are located throughout the cottage, but a new gas forced-air furnace will make Sandy Feet toasty in an instant. And for those 'dog days' when fans & the lake breeze are not enough, there's central air conditioning. Vintage, yes, but re-imagined for the 21rst century. In the spring of 1919, Harry S Truman returned from duty in World War I & married Elizabeth 'Bess' Wallace. The couple spent part of their honeymoon at the Harrington Hotel in Port Huron, MI. Their daughter, Margaret, wrote in her biography of Bess, 'For the rest of his life, whenever Harry Truman wanted to regain the radiance of those first days with Bess, he simply wrote 'Port Huron.' For him it was a code word for happiness.' It's our code word for happiness too, and it will be yours as well as you discover the Blue Water region.

Cannot say enough good things about this property and property manager Darlene! First off, the description is spot on. The property is tucked away in a very nice and quiet neighborhood, just steps away from Lake Huron. Once you step inside, you will feel right at home. Everything you need to take the stress out of your stay is provided. We were able to sit out on the large deck and watch the sun rise in the morning and set in the evening. We found the games and Ping Pong table to be a great way to relax after a long day exploring the area. We had such a great time and will definitely be booking this property again.

My friends and I loved our stay. The Sandy Feet Cottage was everything and more than expected. It was comfortable inside and out. We played outdoor games that were provided by Darlene, enjoyed the fire pit, walked the beach, and baked cookies she provided for us if the freezer. The sun porch was relaxing and cozy for morning coffee. It was so nice. Thank you Darlene.

All the little nautical themed touches in this cottage made us feel so relaxed and at home. We had such a lovely time. We enjoyed the fires in the fire pit, cooking on the grill and eating on the patio, walking along the beach, and playing games indoors.
The Wi-Fi connection was great as we also had work to do on our laptops. We would love to come here again!

Yes, we decided to come to the warm state of Michigan for our Spring Break. Actually, the true reason was to come visit my husband’s elderly mother. This home was in the perfect location. It was clean, stocked with all necessary items, and had a nice view of Lake Huron. Restaurants, grocery stores and shopping are all within a 5 minute drive. Darlene was a wonderful host. The weather wasn’t too bad (not having any snow was a win), but we will perhaps rent again when we return in the summer.

Staying in Sandy Feet Cottage felt like we were staying at a dear friend or close family member’s home. It was clean and cozy, and Darlene was the most hospitable host EVER. So many thoughtful touches- plenty of linens, cookie dough and cinnamon rolls, tons of board games, and so much more. The beds were comfortable, the Smart TVs were appreciated as it was cold and rainy in evenings when we were there. The beach was just steps away and since my friends and I specifically came to PH/FG to look for rocks, we were pleased to find it it was rocky. It was lovely being able to sit in the sunroom in the morning and see the Lake. My friends loved having the ping pong table available. It was all such a lovely, pleasant stay, and I hope to visit again!!

We have stayed in many Vrbo rental properties and Darlene is the best host we have had so far. Communication with her is great! She also had a freezer packed with goodies to enjoy. It was amazing!! Thank you so much. We highly recommend this place. The location was perfect. Just a short walk from the beach.

The cottage was a perfect location , close to Lake Huron and our family. The host thought of everything we might heed during our stay. The unique sailboat themed antiques added to the ambience. This was our second time staying there and hopefully we will get to relax at Sandy Feet again in the future.

I was so excited to find this cottage just a mile from where I grew up. This was the perfect place for my family as an overflow from my mom and dad’s beach house. It was a great place to return to at the end of our busy family get together’s. The cottage was very cozy and well kept. We will definitely hope for this to be available for future stays. Darlene was a great host extremely friendly and communicated everything perfectly!

Wonderful house for our family vacation
Our family had a great time at the cottage. We enjoyed the beachy decor and had lots of fun playing all the lawn games. The walk to the lake was so short and the beach/park was only a short drive away. Perfect place for a family to enjoy a relaxing week at the lake

Cozy house by the beach
We visited with our kids in April, and had some unexpected snow and chilly weather. But Darlene’s home was so welcoming that we enjoyed being inside and my kids were taken with the cookie dough ready to help us stay warm. Darlene even texted on arrival to see if we needed anything. The proximity to the beach and shops and restaurants made things easy for families, and there were truly books and games for all ages which we really enjoyed! The house was lovely and nice sheets, beds, and towels made evenings restful and cozy. Thank you Darlene!

This rental has everything you need. Literally. The location is great. Nearby stores and restaurants. The primary reason I was in the area was for rock hounding. So Fort Gratiot and Lakeport parks were a very short distance. The house itself is beautifully decorated and cozy. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, we felt safe. Beach access is just steps away. Had it been warmer we would have jumped right in! Darlene made sure we were happy and was so helpful. We appreciated that. We loved it and hope to visit again soon! Thanks for everything!

Relaxing Family Getaway
We loved staying at the Sandy Feet Cottage! The location to Lake Huron was amazing, just a quick stroll down a path along a creek leading to the lake. The weekend we went was freezing (Winter's last hurrah!), but still spent a good amount of time enjoying the views at the lake and searching for unique rocks.
The cottage is close to a couple of great lakeside parks as well, and not far from Port Huron for some cute shops and tasty restaurants. We had a great lunch at Kate's Downtown, great pizza at Casey's for dinner, and enjoyed getting coffee at Raven's Cafe which has a bit of a Harry Potter vibe!
The cottage has everything and much more you could need. We loved the wonderful welcome basket and cookies to cook up in the kitchen, great welcoming touches. The cottage is super cozy, and it's fun to see all the Lake Huron collectibles throughout the house, it's classic Michigan! Despite being so cold those couple of days we stayed, the sunroom (which you can see the lake from) warmed up quite nicely with the plug-in heater.
Darlene was so kind in texting us to make sure we had everything we needed and to make sure everything was to our liking when we arrived. We truly enjoyed our stay!

I gave this beach house rental a 5 star rating, of 5 out of 5. It was a short walk to a private beach and the owners had there garage filled with beach rafts, sand buckets,etc. We had family over,played ping pong, corn hole, and other games.We had s’mores over there fire pit,and grilled meats on the grill. We had access to a stocked pantry ,and had a note on the fridge that we could welcome ourselves to make cinnamon rolls and cookie doe in the freezer.We think this is the best place we have ever stayed, and would again.

We had a fantastic time at Sandy Feet and were impressed with the vast array of beach paraphernalia available to use. I was prepared to struggle a little bit with the kids at the beach because we chose not to pack our usual set up to save space and just use what was available I thought it was pleasantly surprised at the multiple quality umbrellas, beach chairs, wagon, beach totes and durable sand toys and buckets to choose from to take the kids to the beach.

The owner was a delight to work with. The house was extremely well stocked with personal items, beach items, cookware, spices, dishes, etc. You can tell they live there part-time and they are cooks because it was so nice to cook there. My family got addicted to playing ping pong. Super relaxing in a super clean house. Highly recommend.

We were looking for a place to kick back and relax. We found it at Sandy Feet Cottage! Super clean. Beautifully decorated. Well-stocked full kitchen. And that sun room! We sat on the settee in the sun room, early Sunday morning, looking out at the lake and listening to bird song... so tranquil! Cannot say enough good things about this property, and Darlene, the host, was so helpful. Excellent communication. Highly recommend.
