Location Location Location = Cedar Point Amusement Park is minutes away + park + beach + incredible views = amazing vacation!

The Lakefront Beach House is a special property that breathes the history of the original 1940's lake cottage architecture but updated with an open floorplan and modern coastal vibe. For the 2024 season we did major updates to the property including adding new craftsman shaker ceilings, built-ins, tile shower, amazing new windows in the sunroom, appliances, furnishings, décor, and bedding which blend into the original character of the home while producing a feeling of luxury and relaxation. If you are looking for a unique property that will surely trigger nostalgic memories of being a child … you found it!

Enjoy the convenience of watching the kids from the patio while they play at the park and beach literally 25 feet away from the house and firepit evening sunsets with Cedar Point in a distance and the silhouette of the pier. Sunrises are enjoyed with a cup of coffee from the sea wall. You will love having meals in the sunroom and on the patio with awesome views of boats passing by on Lake Erie. When the wind is out of the northeast you'll experience Pacific ocean like waves crash across the pier and beach.

This is a fisherman's dreamhouse as you cast your line just feet from the home.

Cousins Weekend

Another great stay at a property that Stephanie and Ryan own! Last year we stayed at their other property just 2 doors down from where we were this year. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! The house was perfect for the nine of us and the living areas were superior. From the large table inside for late into the night game playing to the Florida room that was all windows for perfect viewing of the lake, we couldn't have been happier. The outside area also had plenty of seating and table area so that we could all be outside at the same time enjoying the outdoors. A firepit is available along with wood for cooler nights. As hosts, Steph and Ryan are always available. They respond quickly and take care of any problems that you might be having. Already looking forward to next year's cousin's weekend!!

Not as expected and REALLY Beat Up!

The photos and description and reviews of this house made us select this one over any others in the area. However, both families were really disappointed. There’s a key in the lock box to get in, which made it easy. But there were supposed to be extra keys in the house, and there was only one extra key for our group. The photo showed a large table and several couches and made it look as though this was a lakefront house. I would call it more of a small cottage on the lake. It’s pretty beat up - the furniture was really beat up, pots and pans in the kitchen were really old and super worn. the main bathroom tub didn’t drain at all so you were standing dirty bathwater while showering. The other bathroom had so many spiders that I got tired of killing them, and didn’t even keep my bath stuff in there. The cushions to the outdoor furniture were so dirty and gross that I wanted to just go buy new ones for the house, and just leave them there. And the chairs to that outdoor patio table are so beat up they’re rusted and have holes in them. When we learned we had an issue with the WiFi, we reached out to the owners, who didn't get back to us until the next morning. By then, we reset everything and rewired it properly, and had it working again. The train that comes at 3:11am and then every 15 minutes until 7am, was not helping the situation - I'm sure the noise was bouncing off the water, but it sounded like it was going to come into the house - EVERY. MORNING. Not recommended.

Great location and pet friendly property

Given that pet friendly properties with good location on the lake are limited….this was a great option for our family. The sun room with great views of the lake, outdoor patio with fire pit, quick access to a park to walk the dog were our favorite parts of this house. We were lucky enough to be treated to a great fireworks display overlooking the lake on our last day here!

Stayed over the weekend for my class trip and the lodging here is exactly what we were looking for--beautiful scenery, great space for having meals and fellowship, by the lake, close to CP, enough room for a group of 13. The place was perfect for our group and our needs. Thank you so much!

Excellent view

Wonderful time spent with family. Grandkids enjoyed park and beach area. House was very clean, beds were very comfortable, plenty towels and spare sheets if needed. Back bdr does not get much heat, you must leave all the doors open to warm it up. The refrigerator leeks, or freezes over if turned up, some maintenance needed. Over all I recommend this property… family friendly and close to everything. Thank you for a lovely mini vacation spent at Huron

Wonderful Experience!

Thank you so much for sharing this home with myself & my family. This home feels like comfort & love, with beautiful views right on the water. The owner was very kind & simply checked in on us to ensure we had what we needed. We had zero issues or concerns. We intended our trip to be a quick getaway to enjoy downtime together; this was a perfect setting for myself, my teen daughters, my adult nieces, my sister-in-law & my mother-in-law. Until next time…

Mom's 80th Birthday Girls Weekend

This little home was the perfect size for our group of 8 adults (and 1 baby) looking to relax, celebrate a birthday, and enjoy each other's company. We stayed Fri-Sun. We enjoyed the sunroom and sitting outdoors around the campfire, literally right on the lake. The home was smaller than I personally anticipated, but the bedrooms were all fine and exactly as pictured. They are all off the main living area and were comfortable and clean. We had just a few issues arise during our stay, but they were addressed promptly by the owner/host. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

Great location / Needs some work

The location of the house on the beach was excellent! The layout of the house was fine and as advertised. The host was easy to communicate with. The house itself was pretty worn and needs maintenance/ updates. The appliances were old and had issues. The grill took at least 1 hour to clean before our first use, and only 3 of the 4 burners worked. Overall we had a splendid time despite the hiccups with the house. If updates/improvements are made, I would return for another stay.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Doherty

Host profile image
This property has been owned by my family since 1999. As Dave (Dad) retired from his 20+ years of building 5 lake homes at Rye Beach Park his daughter, Stephanie, took over the operations of the properties in January of 2021 and did a full makeover of the Rye Beachfront home. Note that this property is one of three lakefront properties in a row that are owned with the Rye Beach Lakehouse being the second property available for rent. Got a large group of 30+ people? Rent both properties and bring your family together on the Lake Erie waterfront!

Why they chose this property

Beachfront property with amazing lakefront views with the beach, park, and pier right outside your doorstep.

What makes this property unique

You just can't find a property like this so close to Cedar Point and other points of interest in the area on the beach, next to a park, and with lakefront views. It's one of a kind.
