About this property

Family & Dog Friendly Lakefront Retreat with Private Beach

Welcome to your relaxing Lake Huron getaway in beautiful Burtchville, Michigan. This family and dog-friendly lakefront retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and unforgettable waterfront views.

Enjoy 150’ of private beach access with your own deck overlooking Lake Huron and steps leading directly down to the sandy shoreline. Start your mornings with breathtaking sunrises, coffee from the coffee bar station, and peaceful lake views around the fire pit in the evening. Kayak and Stand-Up Paddle board available for guest use.

Designed for easy one-level living, the home features three comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms with both a shower and bathtub. Just three steps lead to the front entrance, and keyless entry makes check-in simple and convenient.

Families will appreciate thoughtful amenities including a high chair, playpen, and sand toys for beach days. Dogs are welcome too, with a private fenced yard area available for pets to enjoy safely. Dogs can enjoy the beach as well - we just ask that they be under your direct control.

The fully stocked kitchen includes pots, pans, dishes, cookware, and everything needed to prepare meals during your stay. Additional amenities include high-speed internet, air conditioning, heating, outdoor grill, plenty of games and books, and comfortable indoor and outdoor gathering spaces.

Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a peaceful retreat, or a week of lakefront relaxation, this Lake Huron escape offers the perfect setting to unwind, reconnect, and make lasting memories. Our neighborhood is very quiet and the host lives next door. Local ordinances require a quiet time at 10PM and no large parties or events are to be hosted on the property.

We had a great stay at Sunrise Shores with two small children and two dogs! The 180 degree views from this house were beautiful and made the perfect backdrop to our trip. The kitchen was well appointed and we very much appreciated the coffee station with K cups for our first morning. Karin was very responsive to our questions, including giving some suggestions for dinner and where to hunt down some great garage sales. The fenced-in dog yard was a dream for our runners, and the kids loved the included sand toys and water table. We can’t wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Karin Mayer

Host profile image
I was born in Michigan and have spent my entire life visiting the Port Huron area - even when I lived on the East coast for years. I love hosting because it allows me to share Lake Huron with others.

Why they chose this property

I love this neighborhood because it is very quiet and private. I live directly next door to the rental property and live here year round. My dog Jack loves the water and the beach so you may see us down on the sand from time to time.

What makes this property unique

This property has direct access to 150' of private Lake Huron beach! Each beach property in this area is individually owned. This is not a public or shared beach and you'll often have it to yourself. Enjoy the beautiful sunrises over the lake and great star gazing at night.
