The Lakefront Beach House is a special property that breathes the history of the original 1940's lake cottage architecture but updated with an open floorplan and modern coastal vibe. For the 2024 season we did major updates to the property including adding new craftsman shaker ceilings, built-ins, tile shower, amazing new windows in the sunroom, appliances, furnishings, décor, and bedding which blend into the original character of the home while producing a feeling of luxury and relaxation. If you are looking for a unique property that will surely trigger nostalgic memories of being a child … you found it!

Enjoy the convenience of watching the kids from the patio while they play at the park and beach literally 25 feet away from the house and firepit evening sunsets with Cedar Point in a distance and the silhouette of the pier. Sunrises are enjoyed with a cup of coffee from the sea wall. You will love having meals in the sunroom and on the patio with awesome views of boats passing by on Lake Erie. When the wind is out of the northeast you'll experience Pacific ocean like waves crash across the pier and beach.

This is a fisherman's dreamhouse as you cast your line just feet from the home.

Cousins Weekend
Another great stay at a property that Stephanie and Ryan own! Last year we stayed at their other property just 2 doors down from where we were this year. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! The house was perfect for the nine of us and the living areas were superior. From the large table inside for late into the night game playing to the Florida room that was all windows for perfect viewing of the lake, we couldn't have been happier. The outside area also had plenty of seating and table area so that we could all be outside at the same time enjoying the outdoors. A firepit is available along with wood for cooler nights. As hosts, Steph and Ryan are always available. They respond quickly and take care of any problems that you might be having. Already looking forward to next year's cousin's weekend!!

Not as expected and REALLY Beat Up!
The photos and description and reviews of this house made us select this one over any others in the area. However, both families were really disappointed. There’s a key in the lock box to get in, which made it easy. But there were supposed to be extra keys in the house, and there was only one extra key for our group. The photo showed a large table and several couches and made it look as though this was a lakefront house. I would call it more of a small cottage on the lake. It’s pretty beat up - the furniture was really beat up, pots and pans in the kitchen were really old and super worn. the main bathroom tub didn’t drain at all so you were standing dirty bathwater while showering. The other bathroom had so many spiders that I got tired of killing them, and didn’t even keep my bath stuff in there. The cushions to the outdoor furniture were so dirty and gross that I wanted to just go buy new ones for the house, and just leave them there. And the chairs to that outdoor patio table are so beat up they’re rusted and have holes in them. When we learned we had an issue with the WiFi, we reached out to the owners, who didn't get back to us until the next morning. By then, we reset everything and rewired it properly, and had it working again. The train that comes at 3:11am and then every 15 minutes until 7am, was not helping the situation - I'm sure the noise was bouncing off the water, but it sounded like it was going to come into the house - EVERY. MORNING. Not recommended.

Great location and pet friendly property
Given that pet friendly properties with good location on the lake are limited….this was a great option for our family. The sun room with great views of the lake, outdoor patio with fire pit, quick access to a park to walk the dog were our favorite parts of this house. We were lucky enough to be treated to a great fireworks display overlooking the lake on our last day here!

Wonderful time spent with family. Grandkids enjoyed park and beach area. House was very clean, beds were very comfortable, plenty towels and spare sheets if needed. Back bdr does not get much heat, you must leave all the doors open to warm it up. The refrigerator leeks, or freezes over if turned up, some maintenance needed. Over all I recommend this property… family friendly and close to everything. Thank you for a lovely mini vacation spent at Huron

Thank you so much for sharing this home with myself & my family. This home feels like comfort & love, with beautiful views right on the water. The owner was very kind & simply checked in on us to ensure we had what we needed. We had zero issues or concerns. We intended our trip to be a quick getaway to enjoy downtime together; this was a perfect setting for myself, my teen daughters, my adult nieces, my sister-in-law & my mother-in-law. Until next time…

Mom's 80th Birthday Girls Weekend
This little home was the perfect size for our group of 8 adults (and 1 baby) looking to relax, celebrate a birthday, and enjoy each other's company. We stayed Fri-Sun. We enjoyed the sunroom and sitting outdoors around the campfire, literally right on the lake. The home was smaller than I personally anticipated, but the bedrooms were all fine and exactly as pictured. They are all off the main living area and were comfortable and clean. We had just a few issues arise during our stay, but they were addressed promptly by the owner/host. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

Great location / Needs some work
The location of the house on the beach was excellent! The layout of the house was fine and as advertised. The host was easy to communicate with. The house itself was pretty worn and needs maintenance/ updates. The appliances were old and had issues. The grill took at least 1 hour to clean before our first use, and only 3 of the 4 burners worked. Overall we had a splendid time despite the hiccups with the house. If updates/improvements are made, I would return for another stay.

Moms 60th birthday trip
We wanted to go somewhere not to far from home but somewhere that could accommodate us and somewhere that felt like we were on vacation. I saw this property and instantly loved it!!! This was spacious for us all to have a room and bed. We felt like we had our own private beach with the access to water right there . We brought Kayaks and had a blast on the water. There is a beautiful outdoor area where we grilled and ate and we even brought our outdoor screen and watched movies at night outside . The inside was perfect . The large table on the enclosed patio and seats where perfect for the board games we played . The kitchen was big enough to have 5 women cooking breakfast around each other and not get too stressed lol. They have EVERYTHING you could need in the kitchen as far as plates, utensils , cook ware…even spices , coffee, tea …down to paper towels . This place is awesome . The views are amazing . Our mother grew up on Lake Erie at her grandfathers lake house in marble head so in the morning I caught her out there on a chair watching the lake . I knew then it was perfect . The owners were amazing at working with us on times. They made sure we could spend as much time as we possibly could there making memories as a family . It was truly a beautiful and peaceful place to be !! We will FOR SURE be going back !!! If you are on the fence about booking here …DO IT!!

Our stay was overall good. The house could use some TLC with updates to broken window blinds, torn sofa back, broken patio furniture and attention to details by the cleaning crew. The owners were quick to respond to all issues that arose during our stay. The house is next to the public access to the beach area so it gets a bit crowded on the weekend but the local community is very welcoming.
