About this property

Great Lakes Waterfront Cottage Estral Beach

The view of the sun sparkling on the lake stops you in your tracks the second you walk through the door of this newly renovated cottage. Almost every room in the house has a water view (with the exceptions of only the bathrooms and garage)The proximity of the cottage to the lake gives you the feel you are on a cruise ship. Spend your day on the water, on the deck outside overlooking the lake, barbecue on the deck, have a fire in the patio gas fireplace at night after it all. For swimming and watercraft, there is a brand new public swimming access right next door where you can also launch your Kayak / paddleboard. Incredible restaurant with bar “Vincent V’s” 100’ from the Cottage with incredible food! Point Mouille state game area down the road with endless nature to explore. There are two beautiful beaches you can paddleboard or kayak over to. One is Newport Beach at the mouth of Swan Creek intersecting Lake Erie, and another around the Southernmost corner of Estral Beach. There is a never ending amount of waterways and nature to explore here. There is also a treadmill, exercise bike (use at your own risk) and game room in the attached garage with a foosball table and table tennis. Everything in the house is new, all appliances, including: washer, dryer, dishwasher, tankless water heater, bathrooms, kitchen, everything! Nothing has been overlooked here. Two full bathrooms with the on demand water heater make all the difference in the world when 5 people need to get ready to go out without having to share one bathroom or wait for a conventional water tank to refill once it is depleted. Make sure you research that out if you are considering another property. That alone could make or break your day.

Relaxing and fun getaway!

We stayed her for a weekend trip and it was great! A lot more affordable than the west side of Michigan and it was so close to everything but also on a little secluded beach so you had your privacy. There were also a lot of games and activities at the house for entertainment. All the basic supplies you need. And it was very close to some nature and national park areas so we got to go do some hiking/walking along the lake. We had a great time and would definitely return.

Perfect lake vacation!

Rich’s place is amazing and the view is soooo beautiful!! It was perfect for a trip with friends having 2 comfy king bedrooms with separate bathrooms. We spent all of our time outside on the deck and loved being able to have a fire when it got chilly at night. Also really appreciated that each room had its own TV :) Would absolutely stay here again in the future!!

Quiet Get Away

Richard's place was just what we were looking for. It is quiet and away form the hustle and bustle of busy life. Vincent V's across the street was AMAZING and a must visit. Richard quickly replied to all of our questions and concerns. We would definitely stay again.

Relaxing Getaway

The place truly is a hidden gem away from the chaos of busy cities. It’s perfectly located on the water with views throughout the house. We spent most of the time on the patio soaking in the sounds of waves that felt very ocean like. The sunrise in the morning was stunning. The moon and fire pit in the evening was a delight. we came for rest and relaxation but was able to drive 20 minutes if we wanted entertainment Or restaurants. Each room was spacious and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable! It’s a perfect place for a quiet, simple getaway.

Tranquil and beautiful

This was a wonderful weekend getaway for mom and daughter that was incredibly peaceful and rejuvenating. The proximity to the water (right outside of the sliding door) was perfect and the home was immaculate and so cutely decorated! Rich was a wonderful host - incredibly responsive and helpful! We loved watching the boats pass by and enjoyed the wildlife too. It was just what we needed. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful space with us, Rich. We will be back!

Absolutely goosebumb amazing

The Beach House was very clean and accommodating with an absolute Vacation Vibe. Decorated nicely with area history and nostalgia. Richard was a very attentive host when needed for anything. Highly recommended. Very spacious with enough privacy for 2 couples. There is a beautifully decorated and cozy restaurant across the road with delicious food and the best bloody mary we have ever had. We were welcomed by the friendliest people on earth. This is definately a must stay place!

Peaceful and Quiet

Our stay at ENG was relaxing and peaceful! I listened to the waters every night while I slept in the water-facing bedroom! It was amazing to sit practically on top of Lake Erie on the back deck. There is access to many channels if you want tv in the evening or on a rainy day, or games in the garage! Rich has thought of entertainment within the home if needed. Not far from Estral Beach are some great local restaurants and parks with boat access. Rich was always extremely quick to respond when I messaged him and was very polite and provided great info when needed. I would be very happy to stay here again!

Great View, quiet neighborhood, wonderful beds

Our stay included 2 couples (2 seniors and 2 30-40 yr) for 10 nights. We arrived late in November and stayed through Dec 2nd, 2024. We wanted a place that had a great view of Lake Erie in a quiet neighborhood and that is just what we got. The house was clean and well stocked we slept soundly on the very comfortable beds. The owner was very responsive to our needs and we had no major issues while there. There are several steps at the entrance but the house is one story with no dangerous level changes inside. Plenty of space for two cars in the driveway. When we arrived, the temperatures were not freezing, but, soon after it snowed a little (not enough to cause issues on the roads). By the time we left, smaller lakes and rivers were starting to freeze over. The restaurant across the street had a full bar and our dinners were wonderful although we did much of our cooking at home on the gas range. The wifi was never an issue even with multiple devices running at the same time. All the TVs were "smart", so easy to get access to streaming services. We all agreed that it was a great experience and we would love to come back to the same house in the future.

The cottage was perfect for our long fall weekend! It was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The view is absolutely unbelievable, and watching the sunrise each morning was such a treat. Our host, Rich, was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Truly a 5-star host and experience — we can’t wait to come back!

Our weekend with friends was perfect at the cottage. Everything we needed in the kitchen to cook meals. Sitting outside by the gas fireplace, and watching football inside. The only downside, the furniture (couch) is not comfortable what’s so ever. Everything else is on point! Definitely would return for a weekend getaway.

Dearborn native, love all things Motor City, including, but not limited to Detroit Pizza, Detroit Automobiles and Michigan music.

Why they chose this property

This property was built in 1930, it has been completely renovated, and nobody has lived here since the renovation that was finished in 2022. This property gives you a transported feeling as soon as you walk in the door.

What makes this property unique

It has a brand new kitchen, but if you don’t want to cook, having the family restaurant “Vincent V’s” right across the street is wonderful. There is a brand new water access going in next door, expected completion Spring / Summer 2023. There is also a boat launch within the village.
