About this house rental

We have a beautifully updated two-story single-family home with private sand beach with a 35"x14" patio on Lake Erie! Many of our reviews state 'there's everything you need' in this house!

This is our 8th year of hosting, and we continue to update our lake front property annually. Recently, the 1st floor Primary Bath was completely renovated to include a walk-in shower with bypass glass doors and a fold-down seat, double vanity, matching mirrors, undermounted sinks, marble countertop, an ADA-height toilet and porcelain tiled floor. Also, the 2nd floor full bath received a new 42"w vanity, single sink, ceramic countertop, and 42"w wall mirror.

Although we're off the beaten path, it's a great place to relax and enjoy family time by creating lasting memories! Enjoy magnificent sunsets and sunrises from your private beach! This area is known for abundant fishing (don't forget your Ohio fishing license) and adventurous boating experiences.

Take the Jet Express to Put-In-Bay and walk, ride a golf cart, climb Admiral Perry's (war of 1812) monument in Put-In-Bay, or enjoy an adult beverage and savory foods in the Island's many pubs and winery. Submerge yourself in solitude by kayaking around South Bass (Put-In-Bay) or Kelley's Islands. From Put-In-Bay take the Goodtime Ferry to Kelley's Island to hike or golf cart your way to discover the world-famous Glacial Grooves.

Explore Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, and other local protected sanctuaries, nationally known in American Birding circles as host to thousands of bird watchers each spring and fall. Enjoy a fast-paced day at Cedar Point amusement park. Or slow it down a bit by taking the kids to African Safari Wildlife Park, Lagoon Deer Park or Toledo Zoo.

Back on the mainland, take a dip from your private sand beach before grilling dinner, and sharing meals in the Lanai while enjoying the lakefront view. Catch amazing sunsets with a cozy fire on the beach and close the night by sharing your day's experiences in the Lanai.

Come and stay with us a while, you'll be glad you did!

    This house is very spacious and well equipped. We had a group of 5 women friends and enjoyed the beach area for cocktails, the grill for a fish fry, and being able to spread out in the 4 large bedrooms. The location was perfect for birding at MaGee Marsh and Ottawa. It was also very close to a marina that offered numerous charters for fishing. Fred stayed in contact with us and was extremely helpful. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this house.

    What a beautiful beach location. Our grandchildren were in the water every opportunity, we had north east winds, which they were able to use the boogie boards and body surf, and the beach toys they loved. We played games every night in the sunroom.Enjoyed our stay!

    Unless you want to stay in a home that is filthy with owners who lie and don't answer you when you really need them, this is your perfect getaway home!The way we were treated and ignored is so unprofessional.Just want everyone reading this to keep in mind that this is my 2nd time staying in this house and we were still ignored and disrespected.The first thing I notice is the house from the outside was infested with bugs everywhere. Picture yourself pulling into a house and the front door has cobwebbs and bugs hanging, no bother to even water the house down.There were dead bugs all over the deck area as well in the water they leave you to put your feet in before you enter the house.We walk into the home,its hard to say that anyone actually cleaned the house.I was only able to put a certain amount of pictures up but I have alot more I couldn't.The floor wasnt vacuumed, the kitchen was filthy, the bowls were wet with bugs in them, the washer dryer had mold, there was old clothes and socks on the floor probably from the previous guests.There were safety pins on the floor opened and we have babies with us in the house.We only seen them because they were stepped on.The summer room had black mold on the bottom boards.As the first night was coming to a close, we went to bed and found yellow stains and a red stain maybe blood? How did the owner respond, he answer my call and said he needed a few days and haven't heard from him since ignored calls and texts! We left after 1 Night!!

    The homeowner was very friendly and communication was great. The kitchen was very well equipped. Our whole family enjoyed being right on Lake Erie. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful! We appreciated the extras like beach toys, games, and books for the kids.

    We loved our stay here! Plenty of room for our family of 6, and the house had everything you could need. Huge bonus that we didn’t have to bring beach towels or chairs, and the owners had plenty of condiments in the fridge. I know that sounds silly, but that’s one thing I hate about renting vacation houses, is having to buy all of these condiments that you’re only going to use for a few days! Quiet area, which was perfect! Loved having the firepit on the beach, and the concrete “patio” before you step into the sandy area. The neighborhood public beach is next door, which had us a little concerned when we first pulled up, only because we were hoping for a quiet few days. But there were literally never more than two or three individuals at that beach (and even that was infrequent), so it was never an issue. And the few people that were over on that beach were extremely friendly and pleasant to meet and chat with! The water was the perfect temperature in early July. We did have one day where there was a lot of green algae in the water (which we know to expect sometimes on Erie), but it was gone by the next morning and never returned. Beds were comfortable. We also loved that there were box fans in just about every room. Lots of areas to gather where everyone fit and could eat, hang out, and play games together. Our group was small enough that we even had an extra table for games and an ongoing puzzle. Cheryl and Fred are lovely hosts with excellent communication!

    Great place to take your family. Plenty of sleeping space. Water and beach was great for big kids and little kids. We would stay again.
