Wonderful stay

Highly recommend this motel. One of the best we have ever stayed in. It is immaculately clean and well furnished. Close to the beach with easy access.

I’ve been coming to the Caseville area for years and as far as motels go this is by far the best! Room was clean, and beautifully decorated. A wonderful flat screen and a fridge as well. Great place to land for a weekend in the thumb!

Very clean well kept and met our needs. Our only issue was the sketchy Wi-Fi. TV service non-streaming was excellent.

Overnight getaway for our anniversary

We loved our stay! Such a great, newly remodeled spot. Perfect for visiting the surrounding area. Appreciate the amenities supplied in the kitchenette and bathroom.
Stephanie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice remodel

This is one of the old timey motels that has been revamped and it's the best one I've been to. The owners have done a nice job with the rooms - at least the one I was in. Very nice design, nice layout, comfortable bed with quality linens - bed and bath - which is not always the case for any line of lodging, great appliances and supplies. A bit over a mile from Port Austin proper. Great place to explore from.
Kate, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very cute

Very cute. The room smelled clean and fresh paint. We didn't realize the heated pool was still open, we would have brought our suits. We would stay again.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

When choosing a pet friendly hotel you usually have trade some comfort. Not here! It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the grounds were beautiful. We enjoyed the pool, lake, and nearby resturaunts and hiking. We will definitely be back!
Amy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and comfortable. The microwave and mini fridge / freezer were quite new and had a cool retro vibe. The paint and decorations looked fresh and clean. Bathroom fixtures also looked updated. Check in was super easy. They just email you an access code for your room so you don't even need to stop by the front desk.
Chadwick, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the inside of the rooms. The beach area is a bit small but perfect if u have little kids or just want to watch the sunrise n sunsets. We will be back for sure.
NICOLE, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The renovations and updates at the property were very well thought out. We were super comfortable here. We didn't realize until we arrived how centrally located it was for everything we wanted to do and see as we had never been to this area before. We plan to visit the area again and would stay here for certain.
Lisa, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in the two bedroom apartment and it was great for our group getaway. Everything was new and spotless. The pool was older but also spotless and they had new pool chairs.
Wanda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was new & clean. The owner was very nice and attentive.
Carolyn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The renovations were great. Place was spotless and you could tell brand new. Would definitely stay there again. Convenient to the town. Only complaint is there should be a rubber mat or grab bar in the shower as it was a little slippery. Other than that - beautiful place!
Kim, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A Family Resort

The room was very nice, and clean. Need to remember children are welcome, so it can be loud at times. Pool was clean, but could have been warmer. The owner is very accommodating and professional. I would recommend Sun and Sand for younger families, with children.
Tom, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very cute and updated. Clean. Microwave, coffee and fridge cute and helpful. Pool was clean and nice. Lots of furniture around it. Volleyball. Campfire pit. Only negatives were parking was a bit tight confusing. Also, check out was 10:00 A.M. which is a a bit early. Usually 11:00 most other hotels.
Julie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This property is all under construction therefore there is a lot of construction material out and about, no sign or address and no one to provide any information. Luckily, I was able to reach someone on the phone to confirm I was at the right place. The interior of our room is nicely renovated however the toilet did not work.
Julia, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This place was in the throes of a renovation, which was hit and miss. My room smelled strongly of new paint, lacked a screen on one of the windows (promptly replaced), and a door that would not shut properly without lifting. There is no one on premises to supervise and answer questions (I got lucky) especially after hours, and they were adamant that checkout is at 10:00 am, not later. With a 4:00 pm check-in and such an early checkout, you only get the room for 18 hours or less. The beds were new, but far too low to the floor and I kept banging my shins on the exposed bed frame - I've slept on futons that were more comfortable. Despite its name, it's NOT on the beach and did not appear to have any beach access, just a pool in back. This is just a mom and pop old motel, which doesn't get any better because of the yuppified remodel, and is only a "resort" in the sense that Applebees is "fine dining." There aren't a whole lot of options in the area, but I'll be searching for them if my travels take me back.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was clean, had all the amenities that we would need, bed was comfy, and the heat kicks on fast for nice warmth in the room. I would stay here again.
