- Commonly asked questions -

Is the property located directly on the water?

Yes, the house is directly on the water, no other property separates you from Lake Erie. There is a hill that was built 30 years ago to prevent the peninsula from flooding, so you must walk up a hill located 40 foot out the back door to see the water.

Can you swim, is there a beach?

While I don't recommend swimming, you can. It is very rocky beach out back. Some people have brought kayaks to launch and have had no issues.

Is there room to park my boat? Can I fish?

You can fish out back, pick your lucky spot on the rocks and cast a line! There is room for boat parking, I will just need a heads up. The local launch is about 2 miles away, and you are split pretty even between Catawba and Detroit for fishing!

Great stay!
Everything about this house was great! The location is on a quiet street. We were able to get to the zoo and the beach easily. The house was clean and comfortable. My kids loved that there is a TV in the bathroom. The host was friendly and communicative. I was also able to adjust my stay by a day pretty last minute which I really appreciated.

Beautiful location just outside Toledo
The house was nice. Had everything we needed. The trees were full of birds singing, there are a couple eagles who stayed in the trees just outside and the squirrels were friendly too. The water was brown and unswimable, but overall, absolutely beautiful. Happy we booked here! Check in and out was easy and owner was responsive to messages.

Beach House Stay
We liked staying at the beach house! We adventured down to the beach for a fire, the bed was super comfortable and everything was updated on the interior. The bugs are bad around all parts of Lake Erie so they didnt bother us at all!

Great Stay
Very easy check in process and the owner was very quick when I had questions. The only thing I will note is that the bed made noises at any little movement, and it kept waking me up. Also, the back deck really needs to be redone. Overall I was very happy with my stay.

Great Stay
Great rental. I will most likely stay here again for my next trip to Toledo. The property manager is always available and responds promptly. The interior is newly renovated. The online details regarding the exterior say landscaping is in progress and needs work but to be honest it seemed just fine to me.

Quiet and scenic
Take your lawn chairs to the top of the backyard stairs and enjoy a wonderful, private view of Lake Erie. The house is on the northeast point of Toledo, and it’s an easy 20-30 minute drive to most all the attractions and points of of interest. Quiet neighborhood and house is just as described.

The house is fully renovated and beautiful. Very homey and comfortable while also technologically advanced. A short walk up the back steps delivers you to a spectacular view of Lake Erie.

Who's Your Decorator?
The interior was beautiful. I would have bet I was the first to rent since remodeling until I saw the note from the cleaner after the previous rental. Everything looked and worked like brand-new. Truly excellent space.

Lost Peninsula, Ohio
Easy to find and comfortable home! About a 20 min drive to the Toledo Zoo. Presented well on the interior and outside needed some spring cleanup. Side doorstep is very high to step up to so front door was used. Enjoyed playing cards there and felt safe! Alexa started playing 'funeral music" not long after we went to bed the last night ....might wanna check that!
