Cozy Getaway ON Lake Erie

Tranquil Beach House Directly on Lake Erie; 3 BR 2 BA Sleeps 6-8, private beach

Location, Location, Location. Our beach house is as good as it gets! Directly on Lake Erie in North East, PA, at lake level with a private beach. We offer gorgeous picture window views from the living spaces, plus window and balcony lake views from two of three bedrooms. You can enjoy lake living year round through all four seasons here in this vacation rental. This is a great home to celebrate all occasions in all seasons with family and friends!

We are under new ownership, but remain locally owned & operated with a meticulous cleaning staff, luxury linens, city water, and continuous quality improvements for our guests enjoyment.

There are 3 bedrooms, with a total of 2 queen beds, 2 twin beds, 2 full bathrooms, and upper and lower decks facing the lake. There are also 2 rollaway cots, but an $85 additional guest fee will be applied for greater than 6 guests. If you want to be on the lake and relax this is the beach home for you. You can step off the porch directly onto the beach, just a few short steps to Lake Erie or 16 Mile Creek. This house is located in the Sunset Beach Association, a nice family setting -- a quiet residential neighborhood built around enjoyment of Lake Erie -- a great place to relax and unwind, but close enough to town for shopping, exploring, wineries, or restaurants.

BEACH/LAKEFRONT

Sunset Beach is a natural Great Lakes shoreline that changes with the weather. We have many beach stones, driftwood, and beach glass. Sunset Beach is a great place to relax, celebrate all occasions, swim, walk the beach, fish, kayak, water sports, enjoy a campfire, and treasure hunt for beach glass or other flotsam and jetsam. Please note, the shoreline of Sunset Beach is a rock beach.

Freeport Beach, the public beach next to us, does get sand replenishment and grooming. Little ones will enjoy the playground at Freeport Beach. Older kids and adults can enjoy the sand volleyball courts there. In the summer season, Freeport Beach offers a lifeguard.

Guests with limited mobility can enjoy the lake views from the home and decks. The decks are partially shaded. The beach requires good mobility for access, as the surface is uneven with scattered driftwood, beach stones, etc. Driving distance to Freeport Beach for those who want to bypass the creek is about half a mile. Walking distance to Freeport Beach is much closer.

ATTRACTIONS

Lake Erie Wine Trail: We are located on the Lake Erie Wine Trail. 26 wineries make up the complete wine trail. Wineries are open YEAR ROUND and close only on major holidays. Along the wine trail we have many artisans, galleries, antique shops, and restaurants. If you visit during a slower time, call ahead to book a special small group session with a winemaker for a look behind the scenes.

World Class Fishing: Lake Erie area is known for world class fishing including walleye, perch, bass, lake trout, and steelhead. We can recommend Charters or discuss parking for your boat. 16 Mile Creek is about 40 feet from this house. 20 Mile is about 3 miles from this house. Steelhead season typically runs from October through March, but creeks can and do freeze over for the latter part of the season.

Sunsets: Watching the sun set each night into the lake is a beautiful thing and a local tradition. You have a direct and open view of the sunset at lake level at this home. If you watch closely you may catch a green flash!

Nearby: We have a nice variety of restaurants nearby. Noosa Restaurant is newer, upscale and just 2 miles away. Skunk and Goat Tavern is a great local restaurant. A local pub with good food is Plummer's, just a few miles east across the N.Y. border. Other local faves for coffee/lunch/hanging out include The Bean – a cool space with WiFi. Presque Isle Winery has a fun food menu to go along with wine tasting. South Shore cafe is open mid-June to mid-October. For 18-holes of golf, we recommend Green Meadows Golf Course (5 miles).

Daytrips? We are a short drive to Chautauqua Lake, Bemus Point, Findley Lake, Peek-n-Peak Golf & Ski Resort - and new Mountaineering and Zipline Courses, Erie, Presque Isle State Park, as well as Presque Isle Downs & Casino, Splash Lagoon Water Park, Waldameer Amusement Park, Malls (Millcreek, Galleria, Grove City). Niagara Falls is another great day trip for family memories. For unique family adventures, we recommend the new mountaineering course and zip lines at Peek 'n Peak Resort in Clymer NY, the Horse Riding Trails at Double DAB in Ripley NY, and the Scallywags Pirate Ship in Erie.

WATER SPORTS

Our location is excellent for water sports. If you are looking for a place to kayak, canoe or windsurf, bring your small craft and launch from the beach.

Larger boats and jet skis can be launched from the North East Marina just 2 miles away and anchored during the day in front of the home.

For beach sports, try sand volleyball at the adjacent Freeport Beach sand courts - just a short walk!

Perfect Spot on Lake

This 3 bedroom, 2 bath house is perfectly laid out for a cozy family stay. It has just the right amount of space with fantastic windows overlooking the very accessible (and beautiful) lake. There is a lovely pebble beach with adjoining stream and a public beach with more sand is just a short walk away! The host was nice and communicated well. We hope to stay again someday!

Weekend by the water

The house was well stocked with everything we needed for the weekend and an extra comfy cot that we requested. The location right on the shore was exactly what we wanted but I wish we could have walked further on the shore in each direction. The fire ring was great in the evenings. Overall a fun and chill weekend for our family!

Great Vacation

We loved our stay in PA. The home was beautiful. Super clean. The views are amazing! The kids played and swam in the water right in front of the house. We also spent time on the beach just a couple minute walk from the house and it also has a playground. Highly recommend staying here!

Loved the place!

Great place on the lake, as advertised, even though the remnants of Hurricane Debby made swimming impossible our last two days. The 5-6’ waves were spectacular though! The house was beautiful. The living room windows and outdoor seating overlooking the lake were very welcome! House was very clean, parking was easy and corresponding with the owner was almost instant. Internet and phone service was a bit shaky but adequate. Loved being able to open the doors in the upstairs bedrooms to listen to the waves. Highly recommend and would definitely stay there again!

I had no idea Lake Erie was so pretty!

We loved this house. The weather was not great while we were there but because of the views from everywhere in the house, we had an awesome visit. This house is literally right next to the lake. We also enjoyed some of the local wineries. The owner was also very responsive and nice! Definitely recommend this house.

This is a very nice beach cottage on Lake Erie. What a gem we found at Sunset Beach! It was just as advertised - very clean and well provisioned. We enjoyed a relaxing partial week and everything worked well. The views of Lake Erie and sunsets were fantastic. Megan was wonderful to deal with and made sure we were very comfortable. We look forward to making a return visit!

Great Getaway

My family and I had a wonderful time during our stay. My kids (age 7, 5, and 3) loved being right on the water. It’s a great spot to fish and play all day. Megan was very responsive if we had any questions and was willing to come help if anything needed her attention (which it didn’t!). Check in and check out was simple. This house was the perfect spot for a quiet, relaxing getaway.

Great communication, great view, challenging home

The home is super cute nestled on the waters edge. It has a beautiful view. Seems the water frontage has not been cleaned up since COVID but the view is incredible. The inside of the house could be great but it is not very organized, it was very hard to find anything,. The beds were not comfortable, and I am basically more comfortable in a much cleaner home. We followed directions and thoroughly filled out an abundance of rental forms and a Heath screening, I expected much more for the price and feel the home is very overpriced,
