Walk out the door, walk onto the beach!

Our house is the only one situated on a public beach in the City, where you can walk out the door and be right on the beach! It is located on the bicycle trail and is two blocks from the Dunkirk Lighthouse, as well as Point Gratiot Park. There are lake views from the living room, kitchen, sun room porch & 2nd floor master bedroom. There is a finished bedroom off the back of the garage that one has to walk through the garage to get to, that has 2 full beds, a sofa sleeper and has it's own air conditioning unit. This bedroom also has a tv that can be used with streaming apps. There is air conditioning in the living room, as well as in both bedrooms upstairs (one bedroom with a queen and twin bed, the master bedroom with a queen bed and 2 futons). There is a new gas insert fireplace for use in the colder months.

There is an enclosed, private outdoor area off the back of the house that has a covered area with outdoor furniture for you to use and enjoy. There is plenty of off beach parking with a one car garage the renter may use. There is a propane barbecue grill located in the back yard for you to use. There is a nice garden of perennials for you to enjoy in the back yard also. The house is a pleasant mix of cabin and beach house.

This property is located right on the lake and you can walk down within 2-3 minutes. It’s also located close to everything in town but is secluded.

Perfect stay!

This is the second year my family and I have stayed at this property. It was wonderful both times! I appreciate how clean the house is and how well the house is stocked with essentials. One of my children in particular was so excited to stay here because of the toys and games she remembered from the year before. The owner is very quick to respond to messages and goes above and beyond! Highly recommend!

So warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in the door. A cute mantel decorated for the holidays in the living area. Soft blankets and towels, comfortable mattresses and just like home all around. Very clean, updated and new feeling. Will definitely be back for another stay!

My sister and I, with our kids and our mom visit the Dunkirk area every Labor Day. This was our first time staying at this property and it will not be our last! It was perfection. From the spectacular view, to the well maintained property, to the park within walking distance everything was perfection. Our hosts had everything we could possibly need and were excellent with communication. Thank you for an amazing stay! We didn’t want to leave!

Nothing like it in Dunkirk

Kathy Kerns is a marvelous host. The Kerns’ property is unmatched in location and comfort. We four siblings were thrilled with the opportunity to walk Cedar Beach, Point Gratiot, and the lighthouse property. The garden area in the rear was utilized everyday. Kayaks and bicycles were available. Recently remodeled, the house contains everything necessary for an enjoyable stay.
