Our home is located on a large cul de sac at the corner of Sand Street and Spring Street (directly across from Lake Huron) in the city of Port Austin. Conveniently located adjacent to Gallup Park, which includes a park with gazebo, tennis courts, ball diamonds and children’s play area. The house has a large yard complete with fire pit and plenty of parking making it an ideal getaway for a large family.
Walking distance to downtown Port Austin, you can window shop, stock up on supplies, treat the family to ice cream, walk on the beach or breakwall, and even stroll through the weekend Farmers’ Market. And there’s always something going on at Gallup Park including softball, car shows, art fairs, bocci tournaments, parades, etc. Area attractions include Port Crescent State Park, excellent fishing at Bird Creek and Grindstone City harbors (both offering boat launch facilities), kayak rentals (with access to Turnip Rock) and canoe rentals (with access to Port Crescent State Park), Bird Creek (18-hole) golf course, and many lighthouses and historical sites. Or drive along the lake to Caseville (approx. 30 minutes).
The house was recently renovated including new bathrooms, kitchen, flooring, deck, windows and siding. The two car garage is converted into a tiki bar complete with fridge, sink, TV and a BBQ grill. Washer and dryer are located on-site. Detached barn contains deck furniture, hammock, yard games, etc.
All three bedrooms contain queen size beds. Both bathrooms have full tubs and showers, and the main bathroom has his/hers sinks. The kitchen is well appointed with plenty of counter space, a table which seats 4 (but can be extended to seat 6), a fridge, gas range/oven and new dishwasher. There is new furniture and fresh paint throughout. There is central A/C, and also ceiling fans throughout. And because it is shaded by many mature trees, the house stays comfortably cool during the day. Open the windows at night and listen to the waves crash onto the shore.
All utilities are included in rental price (including FREE cable and wi-fi).
