The NEW Sandcastle. BIGGER HOUSE, SAME BEACH! | House in Northport, MI

The Sandcastle on Cathead Bay, that many of you have come to know and enjoy, is now moving to a bigger house on the same beautiful beach. This new location has an even greater view of one of the most beautiful beaches in the world!
This house like the last one sleeps 10 people, but has way more living space.
Two large family rooms and a living room. We are still allowing up to two dogs, no more than 50 lbs.
The pictures you are seeing now are a work in progress. We will be moving all of our furniture from the original Sandcastle(See VRBO#1722447), into our new location, this fall and since this is a bigger house, we will be getting more furniture. The large family room on the top floor, with an awesome view of Lake Michigan will be getting a large sectional, and new floor, so you can gather to enjoy the view, watch tv or just hang out.
The great room on the main floor is walled with beautiful tongue and groove planks, a hardwood floor and has way more space than we had at the original Sandcastle. We will be getting a new dining room set that will seat eight and will have plenty of space around it.
With a Full/Twin bunk bed, queen bed, king bed, and twin bed(In a bedroom that is accessed off the master bedroom), plus a queen sleeper sofa in the first floor family room, there is plenty of space for all guests. We also have a huge jetted tub now! There will also be an office/sitting area off the master bedroom.
We truly loved the original Sandcastle and will miss it, but we have outgrown it and could not pass up this opportunity. We still have the same philosophy. Make our house a place that we would love to stay at. Because we do. This isn't just a property for us. It is a home.
Cathead Bay Sand Castle sits on the shore of Lake Michigan and is in a private community on Cathead Bay. It is one of the best kept secrets of Northern Michigan. We are literally on the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula! The light house is five minutes away.
The house is surrounded by a nature preserve and sits at the foot of the Leelanau State Park Dunes. You can cross the road and take a hike up the dunes and usually you will have them all to your self, because the public has to park miles away and hike in to get to them.
The beach is pristine with fine, sugary sand and not rocky like the Grand Traverse Bay side can be and it is sandy as far out into the lake as you can walk. This beach seems almost tropical and you can walk the shore for miles. If you head south you will end up, after the last house, in an area of protected lake shore that is also part of Leelanau State Park.
The town of Northport is about 15 minutes down the road and it has a great grocery store(Tom’s) and some restaurants and bars. You can be in Leland with the quaint shops of Fishtown and Suttons Bay with all of it’s shops and restaurants in 25-30 minutes. If gambling is your thing, there is the Leelanau Sands Casino in Peshawbestown, which is a little north of Sutton’s Bay. The “Big Town” of Traverse City is about forty five minutes south and so is Glen Arbor, home of our favorite coffee, Leelanau Coffee Roasters and for everything cherry there is Cherry Republic. The Leelanau Peninsula is home to several wineries that have tours.
The house faces west, so you will see some of the most amazing sunsets you have ever seen. At night there is no city light pollution so the sky is loaded with stars and at certain times you may even see the Northern Lights!
Whether you want to sit and relax all day by the beach, swim, go off exploring the many hiking trails in the area, check out the nearby towns, take a bike ride, hit the casino, plus so much more, we think you will be glad you chose Cathead Bay Sand Castle.
The deck has a table with seating for 8, two lounge chairs and a couple of other chairs..
Linens and towels provided. Please bring your own beach towels.
