Thank you for your kind words! Our 1947 house has a bit of vintage charm, and we’re glad you found it clean and cute. It’s got a few stories to tell, but we love that you appreciated its character!

Nice property within walking distance of town. Only complaint are the 2 beds upstairs, one seamed like it was taken out of a sofa bed and was very noisy and uncomfortable, the other was uncomfortable and the frame wobbled. Wouldn't even consider using them.

Cozy Captain’s Cove

This house looks tiny from the roadside and feels large once you step inside - the layout is amazing. Plenty of space to enjoy time with family and find privacy for alone time. The neighborhood is very quiet and neighbors are friendly. Located just minutes from Lake Erie and a variety of stores nearby - very convenient. Great kitchen space and all decor is on-point for its name. We would definitely book here again!

Perfect little beach home

We stayed my best friend, her daughter and my daughter to enjoy Cedar Point for Halloween weekends. The host made everything super simple. The House was absolutely perfect. He paid such great attention to detail having everything accessible, clean, ready and convenient. If I could give him more stars, I would we will be coming back and staying.

Wedding trip with cedar point

Check in and location was great. Only reason I didn't give five stars was the kitchen floor was really greasy and got on our feet. Had to wear sox or shoes to keep the oily feeling off of them. Rest of house was clean clean and a expected

Jackson Siblings Trip 2025

Loved the lake team. The home was clean, bright and inviting. The host provided everything anyone would need, fully equipped kitchen, and over abundance of towels and essentials, there was even a first aid kit and makeup removal cloths. The only drawback was the 1 bath. We range in ages from 65-88yrs old and having to come downstairs in the middle of the night was a challenge, but no fault of the host. I would recommend this location to friends and family

Our family loved this home. Very clean. Simply decorated and elegant. Binder with home rules/check out process were simple and easy to understand. Binder also had a few local restaurant recommendations and some local stores to help us settle in. Host made us feel welcomed and made self vailable in case we needed anything. Would recommend. recir.recommenanneeded.
