Amazing Property
Great experience, the house is turn key and ready to go and when I say turn key this place has it all, if you are visiting just bring your food they have thought of everything. Huge props to the owners would recommend to anyone visiting the Sandusky area to book in here. You are only 15 minutes to Cedar Point so don't fret about being to far away.

Shore House, Sept 2024
We absolutely loved this property. Impressed with all the dishes and cooking pots and pans available to use. Beds were comfortable. Loved the Nautical decor. Our only issue was the weather was cool and damp, not a fault of the house at all. We will definitely consider this location when we vacation again.

Great stay in Rye Beach!!!
The house on Shore Drive was perfect for us! We could easily get to the ferry for Put-in-Bay and to Cedar Point. Being right at the park, the little beach and the pier gave us plenty of space when we had downtime at the house. The house had all the amenities we could need and was comfortable for our group. It was really great!

Summer get-a-way
The house was large enough to accommodate all of us and we were very comfortable. It was a very nice home. The outside porch and upstairs porch had leaves, spiders, spiderwebs, and dirty seat cushions. We were unable to sit upstairs but we sat on the downstairs porch, but we had to make sure we weren't under a spiderweb. I would suggest maintaining the outside of the home too.

Great experience
Our time at Lake Erie was super fun. The bay is a little difficult to swim in as the ground is all rocks. But fun nonetheless. The broken pier was perfect for an afternoon of successful fishing. The home is cozy and has lots of extras, plenty of bath and beach towels, toys, and kitchen supplies. Washer and dryer were much appreciated! Host was so easy to call and text. One bike had flat tire, but 5 of us enjoyed a long bike ride. House temperature was easy to control. The deck was fun to explore. Porch overlooking the lake was beautiful. We enjoyed a fire (brought our own wood). Such a fun family location! The park right in front was quaint.

Amazing place
This house was amazing!!! The views were wonderful. I stay in a lot of places but this by far is the best, close proximity to Cedar Point made for an easy drive after a long day at the park. Inside the house was just as great. The hosts make sure you have everything you need for a stress free stay. I had 5 teenagers so you know they were going to forget something, no fear, the host had tooth brushes readily available. Games… playing cards… propane for the fire and grill…beach towels, literally EVERYTHING. Fully stocked seasoning cabinets?!?! Just amazing. Already recommended house to family and will most definitely be back.

Lovely home on Rye Beach
We were in town for NexStar dance National competition and chose this property due to its proximity to the Kalahari resort. The house had everything we needed and more. The beds were comfortable and the close Lake views were great. There is a bonus space on an upper level that was great for our girls to escape too. We would not hesitate to book this property again.

perfect location
a couple of things need repaired: the window and screen on lower front door kept falling out, from the first time we opened it. Great that all of the towels are provided, as well as a fully stocked kitchen. The house has lots of room, 3 bathrooms, lots of places for our family of 10 to go to. great location. front porch is great, but fire table did not work,

Very Accommodating
This house was perfect for our trip. We had 6 adults and 4 children and the house gave use plenty of room and sleeping options. Ruthann was more than helpful and got back VERY quick with any questions i had. The only downside is the parking, as it is limited but we made it work. Would recommend this house to any friend and if we are ever in the area again will definitely have this one on the top of my list.

I have stayed at several properties in the past and this was one of my favorites. The house was well stocked and offered a lot of extras. I loved the front porch overlooking the lake. The neighbors were friendly and the location was perfect. We were very close to Cedar Point and many other restaurants and activities. The owners were very responsive and checked in to make sure we had everything that we needed.

Cute Beach House
Overall, a nice stay. Great location, nice porch and cute house. Was a little tight for 8 adults. The bunk beds were only rated for 150lbs, so we didnt feel comfortable using them. The queen bed in the loft was a broken air matress and not the most comfortable, but fine. Was nice to be so close to the park, with the water view. Would stay again, but with fewer than 8 adults.

Home with character
We really liked the house and its many features. It was so unique! The location was great. The whole family enjoyed the basketball court across the street and the park. They were a big hit! The only problem was the porch roof. We were there when there was a tornado warning and it really rained like crazy. We wanted to sot out on the porch but the roof leaked everywhere! I tried to dry the cushions but they were drenched. We barely sat on or used the porch. Otherwise we had a good time. Thank you for allowing us to use it.
