Best Downtown Location- Large, Beautiful!- The Queen Elizabeth House

Location, Location, Location! This large, gorgeous, historic island home is located on Toledo Avenue, on the edge of the three-block downtown district. The home has an open kitchen, dining, and living space that was designed for entertaining. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with showers. It can accommodate up to 16 people. When it’s time to relax and kick back, The Queen Elizabeth House has a large, full-screened enclosed back porch that overlooks the National Park and Perry's Monument.

The space
Celebrating 55 Years! Originally launched in 1970 by Mary Sutphin, The Queen Elizabeth House was purchased by the current owners in late 2024 marking the 55th anniversary! The most recent updates included the addition of many new features including a newly renovated full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and massive granite island. Newly remodeled bathrooms, island, historic, and locally crafted décor, custom quad queen bunk room, games, high-speed enterprise WIFI, HBO Max, Netflix, and streaming YouTube TV service are among some of the upgrades. The Queen Elizabeth keeps the title of the nicest rental home on the island and best place for entertaining! It features a large open living room, dining room and game area. Fresh, clean linens and towels along with all bathroom, kitchen, and grilling essentials are provided for your stay. Come relax and know that you will have everything you need!

Guest access
You will have exclusive access to the entire 2,200+ square foot house, the screened-in porch, gazebo, front yard, rear grilling and gravel lounge area with solostove bonfire, back yard, front patio, and front driveway with 2 spaces for vehicle and/or golf cart parking.

Other things to note
Downtown home with multiple views of Lake Erie and Perry's Monument. Nestled in the heart of downtown across from the Chamber of Commerce, you are in the middle of EVERYTHING! On one side is the monument and bathing beach, on the other, restaurants, bars & entertainment. No need for transportation. Located only 1 block from the Jet Express! Across from the Miller Ferry Bus Depot, and immediately next door to A&B Golf Cart Rental.

neighbors. Please carefully review the house rules before booking!

Relaxing family vacation

We’ve stayed at this property several times and continue to love it. The screened porch is our favorite place to hang out. From there you can view not only the lake but also Perry’s monument. You can hear music from town but it’s not overwhelming. We enjoy it every year.

The best!

I cannot say anything bad about this property. Owners are great, house is beautiful, and has the perfect location. Close enough to walk anywhere on the strip but far enough you dont get the noise pollution. Had a blast playing the games provided and fire pit was perfect for the cool evenings. Will be back next time in the area!!

Beautiful and Relaxing Home - Great for Families

This was our second time staying at this property and once again we were not disappointed in anything! The house is clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies and games for the family. The location is perfect. So close to town you don't need to rent a golf cart unless you want one for the pure fun of it. We especially loved the enclosed porch that overlooks the lake and the monument. Spent every morning and evening enjoying that view. We plan on staying here again next year!

What a great house!

Booking the property was very easy. Communication with the host was great and they responded very quickly. They were very detailed with house information, what to do, and where to go. I absolutely will stay here again. The pictures were beautiful and when we got there it was even better in person. The bunk room is open to some of the sounds in the main portion of the house but such a cool space.
