About this property
"Whit's End" Spacious, Private Beach-Front Lake Erie Sleeps 12 Birders & Fishing
We have a beautifully updated two-story single-family home with private sand beach with a 35"x14" patio on Lake Erie! Many of our reviews state 'there's everything you need' in this house!
This is our 8th year of hosting, and we continue to update our lake front property annually. Recently, the 1st floor Primary Bath was completely renovated to include a walk-in shower with bypass glass doors and a fold-down seat, double vanity, matching mirrors, undermounted sinks, marble countertop, an ADA-height toilet and porcelain tiled floor. Also, the 2nd floor full bath received a new 42"w vanity, single sink, ceramic countertop, and 42"w wall mirror.
Although we're off the beaten path, it's a great place to relax and enjoy family time by creating lasting memories! Enjoy magnificent sunsets and sunrises from your private beach! This area is known for abundant fishing (don't forget your Ohio fishing license) and adventurous boating experiences.
NOTE: our vacation home is located in a homeowners' association called Long Beach Association (LBA). LBA which is a private association located along the western basin of Lake Erie. Our residential community consists of both seasonal and year-round residents. To preserve the unique character and privacy of Long Beach, the association allows only a limited number of rentals.
Take the Jet Express to Put-In-Bay and walk, ride a golf cart, climb Admiral Perry's (war of 1812) monument in Put-In-Bay, or enjoy an adult beverage and savory foods in the Island's many pubs and winery. Submerge yourself in solitude by kayaking around South Bass (Put-In-Bay) or Kelley's Islands. From Put-In-Bay take the Goodtime Ferry to Kelley's Island to hike or golf cart your way to discover the world-famous Glacial Grooves.
Explore Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, and other local protected sanctuaries, nationally known in American Birding circles as host to thousands of bird watchers each spring and fall. Enjoy a fast-paced day at Cedar Point amusement park. Or slow it down a bit by taking the kids to African Safari Wildlife Park, Lagoon Deer Park or Toledo Zoo.
Back on the mainland, take a dip from your private sand beach before grilling dinner, and sharing meals in the Lanai while enjoying the lakefront view. Catch amazing sunsets with a cozy fire on the beach and close the night by sharing your day's experiences in the Lanai.
Come and stay with us a while, you'll be glad you did!

What a beautiful beach location. Our grandchildren were in the water every opportunity, we had north east winds, which they were able to use the boogie boards and body surf, and the beach toys they loved. We played games every night in the sunroom.Enjoyed our stay!

This house is very spacious and well equipped. We had a group of 5 women friends and enjoyed the beach area for cocktails, the grill for a fish fry, and being able to spread out in the 4 large bedrooms. The location was perfect for birding at MaGee Marsh and Ottawa. It was also very close to a marina that offered numerous charters for fishing. Fred stayed in contact with us and was extremely helpful. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this house.

All in one: Home and Vacation!
We had a particular need for a site that could accommodate a wheelchair-bound guest. We were all able to enjoy the lake, even from inside the house! This home has the guests' comfort in mind and has EVERY household item that you don't have to pack! A lovely property with both shaded and sunny private beach - really finds a way to reach every person's level of comfort.
