Review of Paradise Beach.
Loved the view of the water. But I am handicapped, so I did not realize that there was no parking in front of our cabin, and the sidewalk is not smooth so that was difficult. The toilets are very low and that’s difficult when you have bad hips or knees. It was very small. The reclining chair did not work even though it had a remote. The good news was the beds were very comfortable and the pillows were very good. I think it would be more fun in the summer when you can get outside more it’s not for a lot of people because it was so small.

The manager was extremely welcoming and nice. We arrived at the property late and he had the heater and the lights on for us. The cabin had everything we needed and the grounds are lovely. The unit we stayed in (cabin 3) looks like it got updated recently. The only reason I did not give this a 10/10 is because the units are a tad too small. But, to be fair, the unit was never misrepresented.

Paradise beach is a great name as the beach is fantastic! For us the small cabin was a bit small with no room outside of bed in bedrooms. The cabin was quaint, and cute but just a little bit small for us. The kitchen was furnished, and everything worked as it should. We would definitely stay there again for the beach, but pack a little different in smaller bags, etc.

Decent place on the water. Staff are friendly and helpful. Spacious, cottage feel. Only complaints were the gravel parking lot not motorcycle friendly, the shower stall is too small and the shower head too low, and the bathroom wall under the sink was filthy.

A real Gem!
Staff was welcoming and helpful. The location is wonderful, with beach access and places to relax. They have been remodeling the cabins and have plenty of amenities. The the furniture is cute but the couch and mattresses could be replaced. There are grills available to cook outside and people seem very respectful of others. I would envision this place more for adults rather than for families with small children. There's something for everyone but it's rare to find a place to relax, read and listen to the waves of Michigan's treasures.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was a cool, funky place. Probably built in the 70s and redone Jimmy Buffett style with tropical pastel colors and beach themed bric a brac throughout. It was set up to be communal (although I was too tired to socialize much). There were two fire pits, kayaks to rent and free beach toys like noodles to borrow. What I loved most was the beach itself. Pretty much all sand with clear waters ( for any Lake Michigan snob who looks down on Lake Huron for being too rocky, and it is at spots, you need to visit Tawas which has excellent beaches). Anyway, my only gripe is it was a bit pricey at over $200 but prices are up everywhere these days and this place does have a great beach. The rooms were pretty clean too and the bed was comfy. Overall I'd give this 4 stars. Not overly fancy but very cozy and comfy.

nice people, but dirty.
Very nice people/management, parking was a mess as our "assigned" spot was taken by someone else. We had 3 beds and 2 comforters, two used towels were hanging in our bathroom, as well as 2 used qtips on top of our refrigerator. I wouldn't want to forget the used qtip in the silverware drawer next to the leftover chunks of food. Very gross.

Fun, little beach stay
We really enjoyed staying at Paradise Beach. While the town is quite small, there are still places around to get food and places to hang out. The room was clean, but could use a bit of updating…. Which I believe they are in the process of doing. The private beach access is amazing!

Great place, would stay again. There were three fire pits on the beach for sharing. The only negative was one group at one of the fire pits was blasting music so loud it was annoying. Not really respectful of others who wanted a quiet evening by the fire.

Very pleasant stop on our trip along Lake Huron
Quaint and right off the lake. Not a view out of our window particularly, but just step out the door and there was the lake. Not the place to go if you are looking for luxury, but really fun if you are willing to go "old-fashioned".

Great place for a lake vacation
An older property, but a very clean and comfortable place. They have pretty much everything you need for a summer vacation - a private beach, two firepits (with firewood provided), cornhole, shuffleboard, volleyball, grills, picnic tables and plenty of outdoor seating. They even have kayaks and a paddleboat to rent. We loved it! Even with the hotel sold out, plenty of room for everyone on the beach. The hotel was amazingly quiet overnight. We will definitely book again.

This was my first time at Paradise Beach Resort and I was impressed with the level of service and the amenities. We were supplied with firewood and starter to use pits on the beach, lots of chairs and rockers. Linens were clean and plentiful. Every cabin had their own charcoal grill and ours had a fairly well stocked kitchen. Tons of games such as cornhole, shuffleboard, volleyball, frisbees, kayaks. The kids stayed busy having fun. Would definitely stay again.
