This home was perfect for our quick getaway, we booked this home 2 days before arrival and the host made sure we had everything we needed and more. So close to the beach and the back patio with lake view was an added plus. Amazing stay!

Perfect Beach Villa

Advertised as a “10” and lived up to its rating! Very comfortable and quiet. Updated kitchen and baths and spacious bedrooms. If you’re looking for a location that’s close to the beach, this is it. The host is an excellent communicator so never a gap in next steps of the start to finish rental process.

Just the place we were looking for to get away from the cold up in the mitten! We enjoyed each moment in this beautiful home! Pleasant views over the pond and so many amenities WOW! Loved feeding the turtles. Was not able to have our morning coffee on the deck overlooking the water as the cushions were wet each morning (furniture covers would be nice).

Amazing property with everything one needs

This property is well worth the stay. It is a very nice place located in a great spot. Super convenient for beach access and restaurants. Our trip did not have great weather but still was a great time since we had a great property with easy check in and out. The beach cart was also a nice addition to the trip. Well worth it!

Everything we hoped for

A very nice clean unit in a relatively laid back portion of the area. A couple minutes walk from the beach but without the clutter of too many shops and restaurants. We were able to do plenty of walking on sidewalks in the area and catch lots of sun for an early January break from the cold and clouds of Northern Ohio.
