Great stay by the water

Lovely area to stay

Nice location with wayer views and easy beach access. We were birding at nearby Magee Marsh and it's a close easy drive. Kitchen fully stocked, bedding could use an update but fine. Hope to come again we enjoyed it!

Wonderful lake house!

Loved seeing the lake from the covered front deck! The beach was just a short walk and we enjoyed walking and collecting a few shells. We hope to return during warm weather. This is a very clean and comfortable home and was very welcoming.

Great stay!

The house has everything needed for a great getaway. Ample seating outdoors and in, anything you could possibly need for your stay at your disposal. We loved the overall look of the house and a gorgeous view to watch the sunset. We had a little challenge figuring out the heat since the weather was unseasonably cold this weekend in late May.

Perfect getaway for everyone!

11/10 experience! I planned a trip with 8 people and the place had all the accommodations we needed. The host was very nice and very quick to respond. The house is located on a private row with a private beach. The surrounding location is great you are 5-15 minutes from most of the charters and restaurants. I highly recommend staying here.

Convenient location for birding shore parks

Home is close to birding locations such as Magee Marsh and Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge for easy early-morning access. Anyone looking for a beach holiday should be aware that in May 2024 the beach at the end of the road was littered with rotting fish carcasses and smelled horrible. Also, the sunset view from the dining room and porch was obstructed by a camping trailer parked next to the house across the street. The house itself was clean and comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet at night. The kitchen is somewhat equipped, but bring your own wine glasses, microwaveable bowl or casserole dish, and extra dish towels. Washer and dryer were very convenient. The hosts provided minimal information before check-in or in the home (compared to other VRBO rentals), so do your homework on area grocery stores, restaurants, and activities. (The hosts were available by phone and helped resolve a check-in question quickly.) Wifi was reliable and rooms have individual heating/cooling controls. Bring extra blankets and pillows, as there are non onsite. Water was fine to drink, no smell even though you are next to the lake. We enjoyed the convenience of the location, and hope to visit again in future migration seasons.

The beach access was really good. Takes just a minute to be on the beach. It's a private beach, so we had it to ourselves almost every time we went there, The inside was comfortable and well furnished. The amenities were excellent and abundant. We had everything we needed. The reason for the 4-star rating is the cleanliness of the outside, the yard and the porch. We had to clean cobwebs and debris from the chairs and tables on the porch and wash layers of dust and dirt from the table tops. This was not dirt from a random rain, but had obviously not been cleaned in quite some time. But the views, the kitchen supplies and bathroom supplies were above and beyond some other places we have stayed. There were games and cards for the kids, which was very much appreciated. All in all, I would stay here again,

Peaceful Lakefront Gem with Incredible Views

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful lakefront home. The property was clean, cozy, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The private beach access was a huge plus—just a few steps and we were on the sand, enjoying the calm waters of Lake Erie. One of the highlights of our trip was sitting on the front porch to watch the fireworks —such a memorable experience!The home itself felt like a true retreat, with thoughtful touches throughout and plenty of space for our family to unwind. We also appreciated how close it was to Port Clinton—just a short drive away for restaurants, shops, and the ferry to Put-in-Bay.
