Crystal Sands Beach resort was able to accommodate a girls weekend (17 girls) easily. The beach house apartments provided plenty of room, gorgeous views, full kitchen and an open floor plan. The Villa's are equipped with full kitchens, bedrooms, and open floor plans in general living areas. The Suite's were open floor plans with refrigerators and coffeemakers. The property and beach were well kept and grounds crews seemed to make regular rounds to ensure cleanliness. The resort is on the beach and has a gorgeous beach area. There were many families and children enjoying their swimming, kayaking, and bulldog sand castles. At night the resort set up chairs and multiple fire pits on the beach for guests and kept the wood coming and fires going! The resort also came equipped with regular housekeeping which included daily garbage changes, cleaning, and towel replacement. The resort is handicap accessible with an ADA Suite and handicap beach access. My travel companion is wheelchair bound and we had no problems getting around. The beach house steps were wide enough to get a wheelchair bound person up and down and all staff and owners were quick to offer assistance when we took the wheelchair and occupant of wheelchair up and down the steps. I've stayed in many (most) locations in that area on the beach and this is by far the best. We can't wait to go back for our annual girls weekend next year! I can't say enough about the location or the amazing staff/owners of the resort. They truly work hard (while making it appear effortless) to ensure everyone is having a great time. Thank you Sam and Nada!!!! It was truly a pleasure meeting you and thank you for such a great time and all that you did to make our 25th annual weekend perfect!

We had a great view of the lake, and we were actually able to check in early. One thing that was kind of a bummer was the check in time. You cannot check in until 5 pm, unless it's a case like mine was. I feel this is a very late check in time compared to other places similar to this one.

Room was immaculate - comfy and well-appointed with a gas fireplace, convenient kitchenette/wet bar and spacious bathroom. Linens and towels are plush and furnishing are lovely. Be sure to request the complimentary robes-they make getting in and out to the hot tub bearable in 10 degree weather. Room looks out over Lake Huron. Vast and beautiful. Breakfast is delivered to your room at a time you select and you're given a menu to select from at check-in. Surprise! Dessert is delivered at 5 pm each night. The texted reminders and communication are helpful. Overall, it is evident that the owners and everyone who works here takes great pride in this property and wants their guests to have a lovely experience, and we certainly did! We look forward to returning in warmer weather.

Panelling, old carpet, older looking furniture, but very cozy. Our unit had two bedrooms, a tiny kitchenette area, a living room and dining room area that kind of blended together. The AC worked great and there was a cable Tv in the living room. It's got a cabin feel to it, but again, was very nice. What really made the place great was it's sitting right on the lake shore. Our unit was a short walk across the parking lot to the beach area. There was shuffle board, a fire pit, a playground and plenty of beach area and chairs available. There was even a couple wood swings and a cornhole game set up. The owners were super friendly. Each unit has a charcoal grill that we used. The room had dishes and silverware. A coffee maker but no filters. The beds were cozy, and the place was really quiet. Our unit was right near the main road and we didn't even hear the traffic. I would definitely stay here again, we wished we could of stayed a few days longer after only staying one day. The price was right too, I think our off season rate (after Labor Day) was only $75 a night.

We walked into a one-bedroom apartment. The bedroom had two queen-size beds then off to the right was a living room with a big screen TV, a dining area and a small kitchen area that was fully furnished with dishes, coffee pot and everything you needed for an amazing weekend. On the table was a welcome gift from the owners, which was a pleasant surprise. They have a small gift shop which was where we got to meet some of the workers. They were such Pleasant people! We told them we were there for a girls weekend - and really had no plans. They gave us recommendations for places to go and things to see. They even introduced us to one of the charter boat captains, Captain Dan, who let us girls take pictures on his boat pretending like we were out fishing! This is something our husbands had been talking about doing for years and never did - so we wanted to tease them - and Captain Dan played along with our shenanigans - and laughed about it as much as we did! Outside they offered a community fire pit - and made sure there was plenty of firewood for us girls to enjoy a wonderful evening fire overlooking Lake Huron! As usual, our weekend went way too fast and we all agreed, that we were already looking forward to coming back next year! Thank You for an Amazing weekend!!

Wrong: we were told that we'd be kicked out if we tried to let a third person stay! Check my review if you want to know more about the laughably bad experience there. Standish Hotel to the rescue! They were not far from the casino, and they were cheaper. Plus, no draconian occupancy rules. The room is spacious and the beds are comfortable. There's a good-sized fridge and a small microwave. But, the awesome thing is that the TV has literally hundreds of stations, including premium stations like HBO. There are security cameras along the walkway between the rooms. This may seem unusual, but I like the idea that the hotel manager is keeping an eye out for trouble. Next time I'm in the area, I'll want to spend the night here.

I appreciated having an full size ironing board as my husband is in town for work , and I wanted to have him look his best. I like the decor well although they are in process of touching up the walls which didn't bother us. The locals we have spoken with say it is the only place in town to stay. Even with the 25$ a night pet fee it is reasonable. 85$. Another plus is the gas station close by (BP). I was able to get coffee there and bring it to our room where we sat at our little table and enjoyed. The gas station also had the computer plug I needed to charge my phone. All rooms are easily accessible( no stairs to climb). The front desk lady was very nice. So happy to have found this place.
