The real highlight, however, is just steps outside.
Guests at Vermilion Vistas enjoy access to an incredible shared private beach with approximately 600 feet of Lake Erie waterfront. Instead of packing the car and heading to a crowded public beach, you can simply step outside and start enjoying the lake.
Spend your mornings sipping coffee along the shoreline, afternoons paddling Lake Erie in the provided kayaks, and evenings relaxing in a beach chair while the sun disappears over the water. Swim, soak up the sun, search the shoreline for beach glass, enjoy the beach amenities, or simply find a quiet spot and listen to the waves.
With hundreds of feet of private waterfront, there is plenty of room to enjoy your own version of the perfect lake day—whether that means being active on the water or doing absolutely nothing at all.
When you're ready to explore, downtown Vermilion is just minutes away. Stroll through local shops, grab dinner or drinks, visit the iconic Vermilion Lighthouse, walk along Main Street Beach, explore the harbor, or watch the boats travel along the Vermilion River. The area is also a fantastic home base for boating, fishing, kayaking, local parks, wineries, and adventures throughout Ohio’s Shores & Islands region.
Looking for a little more excitement? Cedar Point and Sandusky are an easy drive away, making Rumrunner Retreat a great choice for guests who want to combine relaxing beach days with one of Ohio's most popular attractions.
After a day of exploring, come back to Rumrunner Retreat, make dinner in the full kitchen, take an evening walk along the water, and end the night beneath another unforgettable Lake Erie sunset.
