"SHELLSEEKER" 4 BED LAKEFRONT PRIVATE BEACH SLEEPS 14 plus

Entire place ITS YOUR HOME !

The Home is Open to you and your guests!

SHELLSEEKER- A 4 Bedroom, 2 Full Bath, 1 Story Sleeps 14 utilizing 2 trundle twins.

SHELLSEEKER is a Lake Front home, with it own patio, and private beach. The Entrance to the beach is to the east side of the home.

The Patio is very spacious, and a New Patio was added that is elevated for Viewing and a New Firepit. There is seating for 20 plus on the patio, and there is a Gas Fireplace table, along with a Dining Table with chairs, and 2 more Round Dining tables, along with 5 Adirondack Chairs! We provide a Full propane tank at check in. You need to replace it if you run out!

The Dining area is very spacious with seating of 8 or more! Look at the pictures!
The Living room is very nice with lots of space for all!

SHELLSEEKER is one of 5 homes available by the same owner in Sand Beach, a 1920’s gated community. There is one way out, and one way in! It is bordered on the South by a Serene Marsh with active wildlife, and on the North by Lake Erie! Armor stone protects the front of the home, but there is a sandy beach and entrance to the lake just a few feet from the side door!

SHELLSEEKER is a short distance to Beachcomber and Beach Nuts. Both houses are completely remodeled and can sleep over 20 additional guests! Just Ask! And it less than a 1/8 mile from Beachcomber.

The Pictures show many of the features. Shellseekr is completely remodeled, and has a five star review from every guest! Many of the guests return each year, and it books early. The Home has a large stackable washer and dryer, central air, and internet/cable through Spectrum TV utilizing Roku TV. Amenities include all sheets and pillow cases, and beach towels and bath towels. Every Room has a TV!

The Kitchen is extremely well stocked. There is more than enough cookware, and each guest comments how well stock it is! We even have a Crockpot!
Three of the Bedrooms are together, 1 King, 2 Queens , and are extremely comfortable. All are on the main floor. The other Queen Bedroom and Bunk Bed Room is off the laundry area and has two bunk beds with a trundle under each.

The home has a Bonus Room with large table and benches to play cards or have more friends for dinner ! A Great place to put the Kids!
BRING YOUR OWN: Food, Plastic Silverware, Paper products, shampoos, etc. You should have ample pellets for the laundry and dishwasher, but bring your own if you run out!
Some spices are provided, but you should bring your own needs.

Dining Area off Kitchen, Another Dining and Game area with table and benches. Beach is YOUR BEACH... Open to the House from the East Side. I also have another Big Beach about 1/8 of a Mile away you may use that is shallow and nice and sandy as well.

OUTSIDE PATIO GRILL- PROPANE
OUTSIDE FIRE TABLE - PROPANE 6 HIGHBACK CHAIRS

Very Nice. Kick back and relax.

June 2024 family vacation

The stay was wonderful. The house and property were exactly as listed. Great views! Our kids enjoyed the small private beach and the deck for tanning. The adults enjoyed fishing in the evenings. Very spacious for the 13 of us. 10 adults, 2 teenagers and 1 child. Manager Ted is very helpful and accommodating.

Great space on Lake Erie

Lovely house that held our large group of tweens, kids, and adults. Well stocked kitchen, nice bathrooms, exceptional backyard with elevated patio for views and breeze! Private street is quiet and safe for kids. Coffeeshops, restaurants, and tourist entertainment was farther than expected (20+ minutes) but Magee Marsh park had excellent beaches (5 min drive). We enjoyed our time, and laughed about the cooling tower in the background of our photos! (For those unaware, Davis-Besse nuclear power station is 5 min away)

Perfect for birders

This lovely home is perfectly sited for visiting Magee marsh. Only problems we had is the insanely complicated coffee maker and the weird TV system — hundreds of channels but no national news or volume control in West bedroom. Need a Ph.D. to operate.

Great house;Great owner; Great time

This was our second visit to Shellseeker and we enjoyed it just as much the second time. Ted is an excellent landlord and always willing to do whatever it takes to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. The home is light and open--a terrific place to enjoy the lake and all the area has to offer. We wholeheartedly recommend it. K. & J. Miller

Great location!

Great location. With the change in the water level, the dock was gone and large rocks were added to protect the seawall and property. This cut down on the lake view.. This happened right before our stay, so obviously wasn't mentioned in the listing when I booked.

Shell Seeker

House is in nice community. Clean, comfortable for multiple family members. Beautiful lake view. Beach is very poor, cannot walk on beach without shoes, but seems to be the same for most houses in the area. Only saw the owner for maybe 5 minutes two days after we got there and then never again. He did offer his outdoor shower which was nice with the kids. We had an extremely nice time and would definitely come again.

Sweet!

Thanks to Mr. Ted for making his home our home. My family spent 4 days there and we really didn’t want to leave. Fishing,swimming,watching the boats and etc on Lake Erie was awesome The home was very well stocked with everything you would need.. my only not so good thing was the toilets which were to low and my husband and myself with bad knees it was difficult to set done and stand up with nothing to grab ahold of but other than that it is absolutely charming warm and just plain awesome. Will definitely be going back

1st Annual Extended Family Getaway

Just as pretty as described/listed! Our family had an amazing time together with so much to do within proximity of the lake house. We caught several different kinds of fish out back. Had family game night. Went boating. Unfortunately, jet skiing and kayaking were closed in Port Clinton the day we tried to do it, but we will do that next time because we will be back to Ted’s property. Ted checked in with my husband and son to make sure everything was going ok with our stay. Ted also had everything we needed in the house for our stay! Thank you for a great time! Sunsets were amazing.

Family Lake Vacation

Our families and parents had a great time. We needed to swap our annual ocean vacation with something closer to home this year. We picked a lake vacation at the shell seeker. The house was roomy and had everything we needed. The lake view was beautiful. Kids swam in lake and we took a few quick trips to port Clinton to rent jet skis and Sandusky for a day at cedar point. Also a trip through the wild animal park was fun. Golfing at Oak Harbor was very nice. Bring fishing gear as you can fish off the back of house or at marina. Kids caught some bass. Finished off our week with s’mores at the fire pit. Just give yourself time when planning to get to the store or restaurants. For the most part you are about 15min-30min away from main grocery store and attractions.

Totality Great Spot

Shell Seeker was a perfect cozy place for our family gathering to experience the Total Solar Eclipse. The layout, amenities, views, yard space, and neihborhood were great and very appropriate for families like ours with young kids! Communication with the property manager was top notch. If we ever plan a trip over that way again, we plan to seek out this property or at least this property manager again.

Great host, nice place for our family vacation

This was a great layout and location for our family vacation with the grandparents. We needed a place with multiple bedrooms and mostly single-floor access with walk-in shower for those with mobility challenges. There are entry steps plus one step to/from the breezeway. Host has installed a good handrail to assist in getting up the front stairs. Or, you can go around to the back entrance and use the single stair in the breezeway. Might not work for wheelchairs, but for folks using a walker it was doable. Additional stairs to/from the water-view platform a no-go for walkers, but the patio area atmosphere still great. Host was extremely responsive when we ran into a couple hiccups on our stay, and pleasant to work with. Enjoyed a great family vacation. During our stay visited The Henry Ford museum and innovation center in MI, the Maritime Museum in Port Clinton, the art museum in Toledo, Cedar Point in Sandusky, and Imagination Station in Toledo. Lots of other options available if we had more time.

Bird Watching Trip

This house was very comfortable. Located right on the lake with Wonderful view of the lake through many large windows in the dining room / living room. Master bedroom also has good view of the lake. Both bathrooms were very spacious, with nice tile work. The back patio sits right on the lake with a good barbecue grill and spacious area. Kitchen is well supplied. Nice neighborhood with no through traffic. Great area to take a walk at any time of day.
