Great location! The room was very clean and well stocked with towels. We were surprised at how quiet it was (although the a/c was a bit loud--it provided white noise for us!). Front desk staff was very nice, informative, and welcoming. The beds were comfy.

We just returned 5/30/2026 from a magical stay at the Beachcomber Motel on the Water in Mackinaw City, MI, and I can't stop raving about it. If you're looking for a charming, family-run motel with unbeatable views, impeccable cleanliness, and warm hospitality that feels like coming home, this is the place. The owners and staff (shoutout to Lori, Dick, and Gene!) are genuinely friendly, helpful, and dedicated to making your stay special. The location is unbeatable right on the sandy beach of Lake Huron with stunning panoramic views of Mackinac Island, the majestic Mackinac Bridge, and the sparkling Straits of Mackinac. Waking up to the gentle waves and watching the ferries glide by was the highlight of our trip. We could walk to the Mackinac Island ferry terminal in minutes, and downtown dining and attractions were just a short stroll away. It's the perfect base for exploring everything northern Michigan has to offer. Whether you're here for a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a peaceful escape, the Beachcomber delivers. Affordable, pristine, and brimming with charm, we've already booked our next trip back. This isn't just a motel; it's a memorable Michigan experience. Highly, highly recommend! You won't regret it

Everything about this little place was great! The front desk staff was lovely, gave good recommendations, and made us very comfortable. Being able to sit on the lake close to our room was a bonus and everything to do in Mackinaw City was close.

The views and beach were amazing! We got fireworks at night which was a fun surprise . Lori is amazing. It’s a dated place but clean and a great price . The shuttle is helpful to take to get the ferry over to the island and the recommendations for dinner were awesome we tried two of them! Loved the orgamy towel on the bed for an added touch and felt like we were cruising lol
