All communications from the staff were timely and easy to understand, considering there is nobody physically on-site, it took a second to understand. The rooms were clean and neatly kept, with every amenity one could ask for. The best part was the proximity to downtown Port Austin, less than a 5 min drive and you’re where you want to be. I would highly recommend staying at the Sun and Sand, I know we will when we venture back!

The room was clean and seems to be recently upgraded. The cleaning staff was friendly and helpful, but there is no onsite staff available and I am old and not accustomed to dealing with a computerized check in. I am certain that younger or younger minded folks will not find this a problem, but I like to deal with a person.
