Great stay in Rye Beach!!!

The house on Shore Drive was perfect for us! We could easily get to the ferry for Put-in-Bay and to Cedar Point. Being right at the park, the little beach and the pier gave us plenty of space when we had downtime at the house. The house had all the amenities we could need and was comfortable for our group. It was really great!

Amazing Property

Great experience, the house is turn key and ready to go and when I say turn key this place has it all, if you are visiting just bring your food they have thought of everything. Huge props to the owners would recommend to anyone visiting the Sandusky area to book in here. You are only 15 minutes to Cedar Point so don't fret about being to far away.

Shore House, Sept 2024

We absolutely loved this property. Impressed with all the dishes and cooking pots and pans available to use. Beds were comfortable. Loved the Nautical decor. Our only issue was the weather was cool and damp, not a fault of the house at all. We will definitely consider this location when we vacation again.

Lovely home on Rye Beach

We were in town for NexStar dance National competition and chose this property due to its proximity to the Kalahari resort. The house had everything we needed and more. The beds were comfortable and the close Lake views were great. There is a bonus space on an upper level that was great for our girls to escape too. We would not hesitate to book this property again.

Graduation Celebration

I have stayed at several properties in the past and this was one of my favorites. The house was well stocked and offered a lot of extras. I loved the front porch overlooking the lake. The neighbors were friendly and the location was perfect. We were very close to Cedar Point and many other restaurants and activities. The owners were very responsive and checked in to make sure we had everything that we needed.

Very Accommodating

This house was perfect for our trip. We had 6 adults and 4 children and the house gave use plenty of room and sleeping options. Ruthann was more than helpful and got back VERY quick with any questions i had. The only downside is the parking, as it is limited but we made it work. Would recommend this house to any friend and if we are ever in the area again will definitely have this one on the top of my list.

a couple of things need repaired: the window and screen on lower front door kept falling out, from the first time we opened it. Great that all of the towels are provided, as well as a fully stocked kitchen. The house has lots of room, 3 bathrooms, lots of places for our family of 10 to go to. great location. front porch is great, but fire table did not work,

About the host

Hosted by Ruthann

Host profile image
I enjoy providing guests a combination of exceptional things that I've experienced at the many Vrbo properties which I've stayed. I believe little thoughtful touches can make a great stay, a really excellent one!

Why they chose this property

Rye Beach in Huron, Ohio is close to all the convivences you could want. But yet, it is slower paced allowing you to take deep breaths of fresh air and relax. The perfect mixture of lake, country and city!

What makes this property unique

The Shore House has all of the character you'd expect for being over 100 years old! Each area of the house is unique and inviting. The views of the lake are amazing whether it be from the kitchen sink, bedroom, loft, front porch or balcony! Our family loves spending time here and we want others to experience that same joy.
