Beach House on the Saginaw Bay near Bay City, Michigan

3 Bedroom Beach House near Bay City State Park

This beach house has over 1900 sq. ft. of living space on one of the best beaches in Mid Michigan. The homes first floor has a spacious living area, fully equipped kitchen (all appliances, pots, pans, dishes, eating utensils, etc.), one bedroom (queen sized), and a full bath (both with tub/shower combinations). The living room includes a couch, two love seats and a table with seating for four in front of the fireplace. The upstairs has two bedrooms (one with a double bed and a single bed, the other with two twin beds and one double bed), one full bath with each bedroom having a private entrance to the bathroom without leaving your room.

In the summer, families can enjoy the warm water to kayak, stand up paddleboard, sail the Sun Fish, fish (from shore or nearby lagoon), or just enjoy the sandy beach, sit by a campfire in the fire pit or bicycle on the rail trail. All of these are included at no extra cost.

Outdoorsmen can enjoy nature. We are located one mile North of the Bay City State Park, where you can walk or ride the nature trails, check out the displays at the Visitor's Center, and children can enjoy the spray park or the wide sandy beach that is groomed daily during the summer. Even closer is the Tobico Marsh area. It has a walking trail that has several bridges and two 30 foot observation towers. The marsh itself has many different kinds of wild life, including active beaver dens. The paved rail trail that runs from this house (literally, right across the street) all the way around Bay City. Roundtrip is a 24 mile ride, but riding downtown is only about 6 miles where you can enjoy many local restaurants. A recently completed connector adds a trail that follows the Saginaw River to Zilwaukee.
Pickleball courts and tennis courts are a short drive away.
A new boat rental company opened in the area, Bay City Boat Rental. The Freedom Boat Club is in Bay City where members can reserve a boat for their use. For those who like to fish you can find walleye, perch, northern pike, and bass throughout the Bay. The Saginaw Bay is known for excellent walleye fishing. We are conveniently located half way between the DNR boat launch on the Saginaw River and the boat launch at Linwood Beach Marina, both are just 15 minutes away. There is fishing year round, but the walleye fishing gets going with the first warm weather in the spring. Winter activities include a seven mile, groomed cross country ski trail right out the back door and snowmobiling, and ice skating on the Saginaw Bay.


The property is located just two hours North of Detroit off I-75, only 45 minutes north of Birch Run’s outlet mall, 36 minutes from world famous Frankenmuth, and only 10 minutes from the Bay City Mall.
