We really enjoyed this upscale funky roadside motel. Great sunsets. The beds were amazingly comfortable for our old backs. Easy bike ride into charming Port Austin for great food.
Super cute place. Perfect for our stay. Beds were comfy. The kitchenette came in handy, we used the fridge and coffee maker. Very well maintained and clean. Didnt get to use the fire pit or pool but they were very nice Amenities. Very convenient location.
The room was recently renovated and very clean. The bed and pillows excellent. Nice amenities like a Keurig coffee machine with pods and creamers! Nice mini fridge and freezer & microwave. Plot back but the lake is across the street through a public access.
This place is terrific! Loved the amenities, the decor was great and the bedding; pillows; linens were fantastic! Loved the pool, fire pit & Adirondack chairs! Will be back for sure!
I loved this stay. I can’t recommend this property enough. We booked it for a mini getaway for my birthday- I loved the room. It was beautiful and clean.
The place was clean with a retro style look, the most comfortable pillows I've ever used. Quiet place with plenty of food choices nearby. Just a few minutes away from the dark sky park.
All communications from the staff were timely and easy to understand, considering there is nobody physically on-site, it took a second to understand. The rooms were clean and neatly kept, with every amenity one could ask for. The best part was the proximity to downtown Port Austin, less than a 5 min drive and you’re where you want to be. I would highly recommend staying at the Sun and Sand, I know we will when we venture back!
The room and bathroom were so adorable and very clean! I oftentimes have anxiety about staying somewhere out of fear it will not be clean, but this place exceeded my expectations. It had a cute and functional coffee machine which was so nice. I am for sure coming back one day!
Great view of lake from room balcony...room was spacious, clean and very comfortable...can't wait to return!

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.

If your looking for a comfortable bed and fairly clean but updated room this is the place for you. Otherwise, floors were dirty (sandy) and housekeeping left a dirty towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door. (Gross) Pool didn't even have water in it so was not open even though website and Expedia says it is. I would be hard pressed to stay here again.
Great place to stay, remote access, only issue i found was how short and cheaply made bed frames. The mattress was awesome, it was memory foam. Clean room, great staff (on the phone)
