We had a great stay at Sun and Sand Resort. The proximity of the beach was great. It was just far enough away from town to be quiet, yet close enough to drive into town to walk around. We would stay here again.

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.

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!

Everything was great overall, but the water from the toilet and faucet had a slight yellow tint. The shower water was fine. At first, I thought it was just the lighting, but it wasn’t.

Super cute and clean!

Super cute, newly renovated room with retro appeal! Pool and pool area were clean and inviting. Pool towels provided, which was nice. Would have given all 5 stars except we were in the end room #12 which shares a wall with the laundry room and was not too happy to be woken up at 6:30 am on Saturday morning by laundry machine noises.
