- "The owners were so great from the start. We wanted a place on the water that our boys could play without having to worry, and this place was exactly what we wanted and more. Our boys are 2 and 3.5 and they loved walking the beach, there is a mini turnup rock with an amazing open sand and shallow water area and they could run free! The house was perfect for our family and was so nice each boy had their own room. Clean, stocked with all your kitchen needs and the owners were always there with a quick response to anything you had questions on.

This rental is a work in progress. Many updates inside and out including central air . We do have 4 unadvertised RV sites on the same property, 2 are full time seasonal sites.
We have a quarry that we have been working on to clean up and deepen, so there might also be an excavator on site and I never know when he'll be there, he's a super nice guy but his equipment is loud, he is not there all the time. There's a nice patio with chairs overlooking the quarry to enjoy and relax.
Please please please keep an eye on your kids! Lots of water around you here..
There's 1 large community fire pit or a small more portable one if you'd rather be more by yourself.
Just bring your personal items and you'll be ready to start your vacation. Includes cable/Xfinity streaming box, (please bring your own passwords for the different streaming sites), and internet. Sheets and towels. Sleeps 4 comfortably, (but does include a full size pull out sofa and a regular couch), 1 queen, and 1 full sized bed.
Kitchen is fully stocked with full sized fridge, range, microwave. Pots n pans, dinnerware, towels, storage bowls etc. (Minus a vegetable peeler, I'm told lol.) You may have to bring your own plastic wrap and bags, foil or whatever favorite items you may need to make your stay more comfortable. We have a couple charcoal grills on the property for your use.
Pet friendly, (with restrictions). Please clean up after your pet and leashes are a must.
We do have city water delivered in a large tank, not many wells in our area.

Your whole group (of up to 20) will be comfortable in this spacious & unique Lighthouse home in Grindstone City (technically Port Austin MI). You can bring your own boat/Jet-ski & park in our boat slip a few steps out the front door at the marina. Kayak to Turnip Rock, book a fishing charter & enjoy your fresh catch for dinner at the neighboring restaurant, relax at our private sandy beach w/ tiki bar on Lake Huron among so many other fun things around Port Austin, Grindstone City, & Caseville.
This spacious Grindstone City beach house can sleep up to 18 people in beds. With 8 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and almost 5,000 sq ft you can have large groups without feeling all packed in to one small space. The main level has the master bedroom with attached bath and entryway to living room that wraps around to the large dining room area which is over looked by the oversized kitchen and the entry way leading from the driveway.
There are 4 bedrooms upstairs with a full bathroom that has the shower and toilet area that is separated from the double vanity by just closing a door. Each room upstairs also has its own wall mounted mini-split so you can separately set your AC/heat to your liking. 3 of the 4 rooms all have their own flat screen smart TV’s as well. This upper level of the house is also where the laundry room is located. This home just finished up remodeling in early summer of 2022 with having a vacation rental property in mind therefor making everything thought out with all our guests needs in mind.
The lower level/walkout basement is kind of like a 3 bedroom 1 bath house itself. This spacious fully finished basement has an open concept living room/kitchen area with round dining room table in front of the big bay window and sliding glass door looking out to the beautiful views of Lake Huron. The full kitchen amenities include matching stove, microwave, refrigerator, and dish washer. Just out the sliding glass door is the lower level patio area that is covered by the deck/patio up above. This is where the large flat top Blackstone grill and propane BBQ are located for easy cooking with the open concept kitchen and basement living room just a few steps away.
This beach house has not only our own private natural sandy beach but also a huge spacious back/side yard with a camper/RV power hook up on the pole barn/garage if some of your group would like to stay in their camper in the side yard and still plenty of yard space. A major bonus that we just had custom built in the back yard is our Tiki Bar and two fire pit/gathering areas perfect for the entire family to gather around for some s’mores and a bon fire.
With so much to do in neighboring Port Austin just a short 5 min car ride away there will never be a dull moment. You can rent a kayak and paddle to Turnip Rock for beautiful views or check out one of the biggest and fun farmers market in Michigans thumb area. If you would rather be out on the big Great Lake Huron you can bring your own boat or jet skis as we also have our own boat slip for our guests to use. There are also many different fishing charters that dock in the marina as well. What is very cool about having the fishing charters so close you can see their haul for the day and what they bring back while sitting on our deck. They measure and cut the fish right across the street as well and when you do catch fish on any of the charters you can take it directly next door at the Days On The Lake and they will cook it up to serve it to you for dinner.
The entire house and garage are available for guests to use. The only area we keep locked is a supply closet upstairs and a utility room in the basement. Everything else is included for guest use. We also have a boat slip in the marina just a few step walk across the street for guests to use if they bring their own boat or jet-ski’s.
I am available before, during, and after a guests stay on my cell for guests to text/call anytime.
Grindstone is home to many of the serious charter boat captains and fishing enthusiasts. Salmon, lake trout, steelhead, walleye and small mouth bass are just a few varieties of the fishing opportunities. Port Austin is rich in history and offers a spectacular view of the Port Austin Reef Lighthouse. Turnip Rock is located in Lake Huron just offshore and is one of the great natural wonders of Michigan. This charming village also boasts one of the largest Farmers Markets in Michigan.
There is plenty of parking in our driveway or in the neighboring state park that is just right next door. You can drive into port Austin only a few minutes away and they have things e bikes you can rent to get around town with among many other fun things.
Events & Pets are only allowed with prior approval from management. A special event fee & pet fee will be determined if approved by management & will be based on a situational basis.
- "Amazing property with a beautiful private beach and crystal clear lake water. Not to mention the tiki bar. The only thing missing from thinking you're in the tropics is a palm tree! We had a group of 14 and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house was very clean and the property manager was quick to respond. I would definitely refer friends and family to this property." - "Pictures don’t do this property justice. The location and view are amazing. Lots of little touches that made this a wonderful experience. A welcome basket, bathroom toiletries, beach toys, the owner has put a lot of work into making this a great stay. Would definitely come back again!"

The beach is literally steps away and the property amenities are just everything. We will be back. So thankful we booked this place." - "Cozy, well equipped, and a fantastic waterfront location." - "We were looking for a small place for a relaxing getaway. The first impression was that is was very clean and well layed out for the square footage. But the best part was being able to walk out the door barefoot and have steps directly leading you to a beach. Plenty of seating options all around you. Beach is clean, quiet, and the water was perfect temperature. Really loved the location and the restaurants in the two close towns had great food options. Hoping to visit again soon."

- "Ryan was awesome. Very accommodating host." - "This is one of the best properties we have stayed at in the 8 years we have been doing this. Lots of room for the children to play and for the older youth to do their own thing. One evening we had a kite flying contest with 5 kites in the air at the same time. Far enough out in the country for good nighttime star gazing but only a short drive to Port Austin which has 2 great swimming beaches for children and other entertainment. A plus for those worried about well water taste/quality, Ryan trucks in city water which the whole house runs off."

- "Very relaxing. Perfect for our group of 9. Loved everything. Not great weather so we could cook and hang out. The welcome basket was well used and a wonderful surprise. Hope to return next year. " - "Love the book bonfire on the beach while watching the sunset. House is big enough for the family to stay entertained on the cooler days and the gazebo provided a spot to hang out away from sleeping babies. If you need booster seats or pack and play ask ahead of time to avoid waiting."

Unwind at this vibrant beachfront bungalow resort! Enjoy the serene sunset views and the warm sand between your toes on the property’s 150 foot private beach. This bungalow is located between the buzzing towns of Caseville and Port Austin, where the fun never ends! The waves 🌊 , the sun ☀️, and the fun is all that awaits.
- "I loved everything about our stay, except how hot it was in the house, I would bring extension cords next time to run the box fans they provided. The outlets didn’t seem to be in places I needed them to be. I loved how close we were to the beach, the kids and I walked the beach one evening and came across a park with a playground! My kids were 4 & 2.5 years old. I was able to do this trip without my husband who couldn’t get off work to join us. When you park they had yellow wagons to help transport all of your belongings to your house (which was such a blessing as it was just me with two kids who can’t help) but my son was able to pull the wagon which he loved. I was nervous about how the parking was right next to the road (50mph speed limit) with my two toddlers but we managed. Everyone their was so friendly and the sunset and views were amazing. They did have beach toys out for my kids (we brought our own though) and it was nice they had chaise lounges on the beach. I would definitely come again and now I want to buy a beach house right near where the bungalows were. It was a perfect halfway point from port Austin and caseville."

- "Close to town! Easy to walk downtown. " - "Nice Farm House!" - "The location of this home as well as the home itself is more than perfect for enjoying Port Austin and the surrounding area. The host just needs to be a bit more aware of securing her personal belongings so the home is more "welcoming" to those renting it for their vacation. Overall, though, it was a great weekend."

We have remodeled The Vintage ONE from an 1950's roadside motel. The rooms are smaller than average rooms but the furniture and accessories are all new! The location is just across the road from 2 beach accesses and right next to Walt's Meat Market and Grocery, some of the best meat in the Thumb Area! Our unit is located directly between Port Austin and Caseville.
The sands of Lake Huron are beautiful white sand and the water in the summer time is warm and perfect for evening swims! Or just go out and watch the sunset while the water laps the shore.
