Guest Reviews
- Frederick (10/5): - Very clean and very comfortable
- Lisa (8/5): - The room was very clean. The beds weren't comfortable and it was odd not actually having any staff to check in with. I think it is more personable to see/talk to someone. I was under the impression it was directly on the beach- it's across the street which was disappointing. Also strangley there was no box of tissue in the room, I've never been in a hotel that didn't provide tissues.
- Chadwick (10/5): - 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.
- Chris (10/5): - .
- Laura (6/5): - Clean room, but disappointed that check in was at 4 pm and check out at 10 am. It is not enough time actually in your room for the price
- JoAnn (8/5): - The room was very nicely decorated, appreciated the retro theme. It was a little small for two people and a dog but overall, very nice.
- Laurie (10/5): - Quiet, clean, comfy beds and great location. Will definitely stay here again!
- David (10/5): 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.
- Lou (10/5): - Fit the bill for a safe , comfortable stay / location. Out early and about the thumb region all day returning after dark. Would stay again
- James (10/5): - Nice to have coffee provided and cream!!
- Julie (10/5): - 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.
- Nicole (10/5): Key features - Clean rooms, family friendly, updated, convenient location, pet friendly
- Sandra (10/5): 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.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Well decorated and renovated
- Carol (10/5): - Cute place, rooms were nice, area was quiet. Had a trail to the beach. Parking was a bit tight. Shower was pretty small for a larger person.
- Donna (10/5): - Fully remodeled. Comfortable room.
- Judith (10/5): - Nicely remodeled rooms. Very clean and comfortable.
- Michael (10/5): - Very clean well kept and met our needs. Our only issue was the sketchy Wi-Fi. TV service non-streaming was excellent.
- Kristy (10/5): - 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.
- Kate (8/5): 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.
- Robert (8/5): - Nice bed, great little refrig, coffee maker, utensils, made having a light breakfast easy.
- Karyn (6/5): - Updated and clean. Nice heated pool.
- Amy (10/5): - 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!
- BARBARA (10/5): - We will definitely stay again
- Sharon (10/5): Great little place - Very clean, cute mid-century modern vibe. Not a fan of the mattress, though.
- Cindy (10/5): - There wasn't anything negative to say about the property.
- Mohamad (8/5): - 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.
- Carrie (8/5): 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.
- Arjan (6/5): - The conditions of the property don't justify the price
- Derek (10/5): Would Stay Again - Comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen. Everything needed to have a relaxed vacation.
- Susan (10/5): - Clean updated room. Nice pool, clean towels provided. Quiet, great location near Port Austin.
- G (8/5): - The rooms were freshly renovated with cute touches and extras such as makeup remover wipes. The shampoo and lotion smell fantastic. Unfortunately my husband and I did not like the mattress and pillows. We both had uncomfortable sleep and back / neck pain from them. My kids seems to like them though.
- Irene (10/5): - Very clean and cozy
- Daniel (8/5): - comfortable
- Star (10/5): - Cute and cozy room. Smaller on the size, but the design was beautiful! And the pool was very clean. The bathroom door didn’t shut without being pushed, and one of the beds frames was slightly cracked, but other than that, no complaints. The food choices were pretty good, and the Blue moon ice cream shop had so many options! Everything closes pretty early during the week, so check times to plan your day out!
- Cheryl (10/5): - The inside stay was adorable and very nice. Beds comfortable, but very low. Toilet too low as well.
- Michael (6/5): - The property was clean and updated. The staff was great. The WifFi did not work, and cable was was sketchy at best. Not great if you wanted to watch TV at night or check messages if you to have a working vacation.
- Gary (8/5): Comfortable - Comfortable bed, fresh and clean, nicely renovated
- Patricia (8/5): - Didn’t like not having office with person
- Jennifer (8/5): - The renovated Sun n Sand is so much better than it used to be! Great job by the new owners. They’re still doing construction so that’s a bit intrusive to your stay but not a big deal. We also didn’t have extra toilet paper when we arrived but they fixed it although without the owners on site it takes a bit of time to get service. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.
- Lisa (10/5): - 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.
- NICOLE (10/5): - 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.
- Kim (10/5): - 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!
- Tom (8/5): 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.
- Jodi (10/5): - Staff was excellent and accommodating
- Sue (8/5): - Room was clean and brand new, however the hot water was lukewarm at best and the bathroom faucet needs to be tightened down. Remodel is really nice and the room was very nicely decorated. We will definitely be back. Thanks for saving our pillows too!
- Carol (10/5): Lovely accommodations near Pt Austin - The room was very nice and very updated. The retro appliances (just "retro" style and brand new) were very fun and added to our stay. Lots of great linens in the bathroom. We love Pt Austin area and were very pleased to find a nice local resort that was two miles from town.
- Wanda (10/5): - 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.
- Stephanie (10/5): 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.
- Julissa (10/5): - The owners have done a wonderful job renovating this motel. Modern yet cozy.
- Erin (10/5): - The room was nicely remodeled & super clean. Would definitely stay here again.
- Carolyn (10/5): - It was new & clean. The owner was very nice and attentive.
- Julia (6/5): - 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.
- James (4/5): - 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.
- Audrey (10/5): - Very nice, clean, quiet, comfortable bed and nice furnishing.
- Charlie (10/5): - Newly renovated and very nice! Thanks again
