Motisi's Sandy Beach

A rare beach front property. White sandy beach just 12 steps away.

Find yourself staying at a true beach house on Madeline Island. This property is new for 2020 and has its own sandy beach. Walk out the door with your beach towel, beverages and snacks. You are right there. Need to restock your supplies walk up the 12 steps and get what you need. This property has spectacular views of barrier beach (the State and Town parks) and Michigan. Bring your paddle-board, kayak or water toys (that you can carry to the beach). Spend your days just lounging and letting go of the stress of city life.

The property has a 10’ x 30’ screened in porch to enjoy a morning sunrise with a cup of coffee, take a nap, read a book, dine out on. It is a great outdoor space to enjoy free of mosquito's. The master bedroom has its own 10’ x 16’ deck with the same spectacular views.

The main house has a large fireplace if you want an evening fire. Too hot but still want to enjoy a fire, gather around the fire pit just outside your door.

This property is an eclectic mish mash of design styles. Enjoy a classic avocado green bathroom, galley style kitchen, bamboo floor, or barber chair.

The house is currently configured to sleep 6. Unfortunately, I have to make the following statement. Recently we have had guests who have exceeded the max guests allowed. This is a direct violation of our reservation policy. As an FYI, if your number of guests exceed the max allowed you will be asked to leave and no refund will be provided.

The three bedrooms consist of a total of 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds. The property consists of 1 ½ baths. The second level has a ½ bath and the main floor (avocado bathroom) has the full bath with a tub shower.

I currently have other VRBO rental properties and you can review them and our customer satisfaction with these property ID’s 1657429, 1430144 and 1434041.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Update 9/6/2020: It pains us to say that we will no longer allow pets at our properties. Failure by the pet owners to follow rules has caused to many issues for us to continue to allow pets. Unfortunately, I am unable to make any exceptions to this policy.

Please be mindful of the Ferry schedule. We can not offer a refund if you can't make the last boat. Please check their website for any travel advisories before traveling. Also, if you are booking very close to your arrival date please pay attention to our strict cancellation policy.

Note: Check in time is 4pm and check out time is 10am. Please note due to the very high lodging demand we cannot offer early check in or late check out.

Very sweet cottage with fantastic lake views and beach access! The beach is perfect- lots of sand, shallow water , and a sandy lake floor. Perfect for little kids! It was amazing falling asleep to the sound of waves. Especially loved the big screened in porch.

A week in paradise

Everything was on point — from communication with owner to the actual stay in the oh-so-charming vintage cabin on madeline island. Who could complain with Lake Superior surf right outside your window? It was the best vacation ever!

The property was perfect for our young family - the screened in porch allowed for many card games, meals (and a few naps!) within view of Lake Superior. We spent most of our days on the private beach, combing for interesting rocks and daring to go in the water. Dave provided excellent instructions and the house was just as described.

Can’t beat the beach & Great host!

This is one of the best private beach properties on the island! It was great for our 1 year-old. Property was clean and the screened in porch is huge. The host is super accommodating and great to work with. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Madeline Island getaway!

Apostle Island

We went with friends to the Applefest in Bayfield. We enjoyed taking the car ferry to Madeline Island to our rental property. We found the accommodations to be enjoyable with sitting on the porch for coffee, playing games by the fire place, walking the beach, roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. the host was very accessible! everyone we encounter on the island was friendly and loved their unique island. hiking was gorgeous in the parks. Definitely recommend!

Lovely holiday getaway

We had a delightful time in this shorefront property with a short wander down onto the beach. This Fall the colors of the leaves were majestic and while one of the days was rainy we enjoyed cosying up by the log fire and playing games. This is a well positioned cabin - quite rustic.

Great stay

We had an amazing time. Just the relaxing vacation we needed. The house was perfect for our family of six. You could hear the waves from Lake Superior all throughout the house. It was about 9 miles from the town which was easy to navigate and made it very quiet. David was easy to reach and very helpful throughout. He went above and beyond! We would come back here.
