We are close to area shopping, golf and restaurants. Fantastic deck for enjoying the views and everything you need to enjoy the beach available for your use - chairs, towels, sand toys. An outdoor shower to wash away the day's sand and a fenced in back yard for added privacy. Beautiful new modern kitchen, fully equipped, and gas BBQ allow you to cook your own meals if you choose. The perfect end to a day spent splashing in the waves is making s'mores over the beach fire pit, or relaxing in the sauna. Amazing lake views from the kitchen, dining, sitting room, 1st bedroom, 4th bedroom and loft.

Like many up north cottages, we do not have air conditioning. However, we have an awesome breeze off the lake, 4 sliding doors that allow in lots of air, and ceiling fans in almost every room! Sleeping with the windows open allows you to be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves!

Stayed in July-Aug of 2023. We have been renting this property every year for the last 4 years and we also booked our 5th year for next summer. We have found that the owners are super easy to work with and are very attentive to all needs. They have continually made improvements to the house through the years and while it was beautiful from the get go, the improvements are also so appreciated. The beach here cannot be beat. We can't get enough of it. And we love Tawas and Oscosa. Tawas especially is the cutest town and our kids never stop talking about going to Benjamin Franklin for souvenirs and toys. Love it here, thanks again!
Our family of 6 adults, a young child, and 2 babies were extremely happy and comfortable in this spacious, well appointed home. Cleanliness was excellent, and the homeowner has provided a well equipped kitchen. We loved the Lake Huron views, especially at dawn. Many happy hours were spent on the clean, private sandy beach, and it’s shallow for a long way out, so perfect for kids. The photos are accurate ! Not an exaggeration! It’s a perfect place for a family vacation ?
Love the place had a great time. Have stayed here several times
Beautiful place. Have stated here several times
That’s what our family calls this beautiful property. We’ve lost track of the number of years we have stayed here. We try to take care of the house and enjoy all that the property has to offer.
Absolutely perfect for a family stay. We look forward to going back every year.
This was our second stay at Barefoot Bungalow. It was everything we enjoyed last year and more. It was thoughtful of Jayme to special order warmer weather this year! The complementary bottle of wine is such a nice touch. The home is spacious yet cozy, with a great kitchen our Ramsey-level chef was able to work in with ease. The mattress upgrades from queen to king in the master and from double to a queen in one of the bedrooms added to everyone's comfort. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely and hope to make Barefoot Bungalow THE place for our merry band of birders to gather every May.
We went on a girls weekend and had the best time at this property! The breeze at night made for super comfortable sleeping. The owner has put a ton of thought and details into this rental. The only thing I wish is that we would have booked for longer! Would definitely stay here again!
This is the 2nd year for my group of 5 ladies to come here. It is clean, comfortable, well equipped, and has the best beach access ever. We love it here.
Clean comfortable accommodations on a beautiful sandy beach! 10 adults and 3 littles under 4 had plenty of room for dining, sleeping, and playing. LOTS of water and sand toys as well as storybooks, blocks and crayons for rainy times. It was a perfect place for our family vacation!
Everything about this property is delightful! The owner has thought of every detail to make her guests’ vacations more pleasant, from the extremely well equipped kitchen to beach towels and toys. The house is completely clean and is very spacious, nicely furnished, and well designed for family vacations. There are 3 separate living room areas, so everyone can spread out or be together. The bedrooms are varied, so there is a good spot for everyone. The photos are accurate and show this clearly. The beach is sandy and the water is shallow for quite a distance. Safe for children. Views are stunning, especially at sunrise! There are neighbors on both sides, but it’s a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, and we felt that we had plenty of privacy. Although there is no AC, the house has plenty of windows and ceiling fans, and the lake breeze is steady, so we were comfortable. The house is very well maintained, so there is no trace of mold or mildew. I mention this because I am sensitive to mildew and it’s a deal-breaker for me, so I always check reviews very carefully. Special treat: a wonderful sauna ! We had a fabulous family vacation here and made so many happy memories at the beach, having meals on the deck, watching movies, having s’mores campfires, and enjoying our time together in comfort. Many thanks to the wonderful owner whose care for her guests is so obvious !
Excellent location. Property well maintained and well stocked. We appreciated all the games, beach toys, etc. Beds extremely comfortable.
This is our third year at this property and we will be back next year. Great as always. Loved the addition of the new bed and table/chairs in the upstairs. We did many puzzles on the rainy days up there. Great stay as always!
Never disappoints
Beautiful house and spacious beach! This was the perfect family vacation. The house was very clean, had great gathering areas, and provided many items for both inside the house and for enjoyment at the beach. The deck and beach chairs were also a nice bonus. We will be back!
Beautiful home and wonderful beach and nature setting! Our favorite.
Enjoyed our stay
It was a perfect fit for us. Great accommodations and location.
Wonderful
This has been the best Vrbo experience, also my first Vrbo experience, to which all others will be measured against. Spotlesslly clean as promised. The complimentary bottle of Michigan wine and engraved wine glasses were such a thoughtful gift. Our birding group hopes to be back for another spring migration soon.
