This bedroom also has a tv that can be used with streaming apps. There is air conditioning in the living room, as well as in both bedrooms upstairs (one bedroom with a queen and twin bed, the master bedroom with a queen bed and 2 futons). There is a new gas insert fireplace for use in the colder months.

There is an enclosed, private outdoor area off the back of the house that has a covered area with outdoor furniture for you to use and enjoy. There is plenty of off beach parking with a one car garage the renter may use. There is a propane barbecue grill located in the back yard for you to use. There is a nice garden of perennials for you to enjoy in the back yard also. The house is a pleasant mix of cabin and beach house.

Perfect stay!

This is the second year my family and I have stayed at this property. It was wonderful both times! I appreciate how clean the house is and how well the house is stocked with essentials. One of my children in particular was so excited to stay here because of the toys and games she remembered from the year before. The owner is very quick to respond to messages and goes above and beyond! Highly recommend!

Lovely Lake Erie Stay

This was our second year staying at this property and it was again a lovely stay. The house is nice and private, set back from the road. Super easy and convenient access to the beach. If you want a few more waves it’s a quick walk to another beach area close by. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Check in and out was easy and Kathleen responded to any questions we had quickly. We hope to stay again next year!

Close to the beach!

My five sisters and our mom stayed here and we had a great time. The beach was close to the house and a park within walking distance. It had plenty of things to do at the house the well stocked with beach chairs and things for kids. Nice island with seating and a nice dining table as well. We go on a girls trip each year and stay some place new but we would definitely go back here.

From the spectacular view, to the well maintained property, to the park within walking distance everything was perfection.

Sissies weekend

I spent the weekend with 5 of my sisters in law at this fabulous property. Our host Kathy was incredibly thoughtful! Not only did she provide us with all of the essentials, but there were many extras and little touches. She even has helpful hints everywhere to take any frustration out of your time there! The house is beautiful, and there was ample room for the six of us. There are more sleeping spaces than we could possibly use, even if all of the siblings came along. The property is right on the beach which made for beautiful views and easy access. Plus there is a beautiful grassy courtyard with a shaded relaxation area that just beckons you to take a nap. Truly this property and it's host are one of a kind. We will definitely be back!
