About this property

GLASS HOUSE 5 BR Private Lake Erie Beach Great for Summer, Fall, Winter

The GLASS HOUSE was designed by an associate of Frank Lloyd Wright (FLW). It is a UNIQUE example of his classic architecture and use of 'core' living space. The Mid-Centruy Modern furniture and the classic design with large picture windows across the front and rear of the Glass House make it a wonderful location for vacationers to enjoy unobstructed views of both Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay. The mahogany wood walls and interior finish with cedar ceilings are exceptional example of FLW's style and simplicity. The front deck provides a panoramic view of the lake for relaxing.

An OPEN living area, kitchen, dining area, and two decks along with two "primary" bedrooms with baths are located on the upper floor. The Lower Level has three bedrooms and kids' family room with a second Smart TV for more versatility in entertainment. One of these bedrooms has a king bed, while the one has two twin beds and a queen, the fifth bedroom has two twin beds. The kids' family room features a small kitchen with dishwasher and refrigerator for entertaining on the brick patio in the back.

Recent improvements include new hardwood flooring on main level, new furniture, bedding, Smart TV. Internet is provided with WiFi in the house.

For your outdoor enjoyment a boccie ball set, a croquet set, 12 outdoor chairs, 3 picnic tables, and 3 umbrellas are available. Beach toys are stored in the shed. The patio furniture allow the full use of the outside rear yard, and there is ample area for children and games. There are also 2 picnic tables at the bay beach.

The view of the water and beach will allow your family to enjoy a unique experience on Lake Erie. Don't forget the islands. You will be limited only by your time and your creativity in enjoying the area.

Our 7-day stay, which included 6 adults and 5 children under 6, was well accomodated here. The open area of living room, kitchen and large dining table was ideal for our crew. The private beach and large back yard were great for activities with the kids, and proximity to Cedar Point and other attractions made this a perfect place for our stay.

This was our annual girls trip that we have been doing for years. The house was great to accomodate all of us with enough beds/bedrooms. It was equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen and a lot of room in the main living room and downstairs area too. The location of the house was amazing....Lake Erie in the front and the Bay in the back. It's in a very quiet and clean neighborhood. We definitely recommend it and would stay here again!!

House well equipped, spacious, and set up for family. Beach was a big plus with access on Lake Erie and bay (front and back of house). Very close to Cedar Point. We had young children and they had plenty to do and plenty of room at the house.

This place was quite nice. It's shoreline location was exactly what we were looking for. No longer need to go to the Ocean. This is SO MUCH better. It's not as hot as the East Coast, you can leave your beach canopies up and the water feels great (I think mid August might be warmer).

Spent 5 days end of aug. Enjoyed both the lake beach and bay beach, and sunrise from inside house in the early am. Agree with the past reviews on overall house. Great location. For walkers, the street has no sidewalks but lake side beach is walkable. well stocked house though we always carry a large stainless steel sauté pan since most rentals have non stick which we prefer not to use. pots were nice, nice gas grill, nice drip coffee pot with thermal carafe. Storage in bedroom good with a dresser in each and hangers in closets (though I didn't look at closet space in downstairs bedrooms. refrigerator has front water and ice (so few plastic bottles needed). TY!

Fabulous glass house offering views of the water from both sides of the house--wonderful architecture. Loved the proximity to all the nature preserves and to the downtown of Sandusky. The house is comfortable, big, and includes everything you need! The main living area is open to the kitchen and has a gas fireplace that we gathered around to play games and read. Went in the winter--quiet and serene. Saw Trumpeter swans, eagles, pelicans, ducks, cranes, herons, and geese just on the drive in to the house. Highly recommend.
