About this property
"Whit's End" Spacious, Private Beach-Front Lake Erie Sleeps 13 Birders & Fishing
We have a beautifully updated two-story single-family home with private sand beach on Lake Erie!
This is our 7th year in business and we continue to update our lake front property annually. In March 2024 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.
Explore Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, 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.
Take the Jet Express to Put-In-Bay and hike (or rent a golf cart), and climb Admiral Perry's monument in Put-In-Bay, or enjoy an adult beverage 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.
Back on the mainland, take a dip from your private sand beach before grilling dinner and enjoying company on your wood deck.
Later check out the sunset, and close the night by sharing your day's experiences in the Lanai overlooking Lake Erie.
Come and stay with us a while, you'll be glad you did!

About the host
Hosted by Fred or Cheryl Whitican
Fred grew up just north of Detroit, was educated in Colorado (courtesy of the USAF) and upstate New York, and retired from USAF in 2005. Cheryl grew up in Boston and was educated there as well as in Missouri and Michigan.
We reside just east of Dayton, OH, and have 3 married children (plus 2 grands); they live in Indiana, Washington, and Kentucky. We purchased this summer vacation property in 2019 as a legacy for our children, grandchildren and future generations. We absolutely love this home as well as the community and we're confident you'll love it too!
On 02 October 2020, we registered a new LLC under the name of Lakeside Sunrise-Sunset LLC exclusively for our lake house business.
We also have another LLC titled EagleLight Properties LLC, and it was established in Ohio in 2015 while acquiring distressed townhouses and condominiums in the Dayton, Ohio area to rehab and rent ("flip & hold"). We provide regular maintenance and improvements to our properties and are blessed to have great tenants!

What makes this property unique
Property has it's own 40' wide x 100' deep private walled sand beach with recently upgraded patio (2023) and reinforced walls (2023), nautically-appointed Lanai, wood deck w/tables & benches/chairs, and Weber gas grill (stored in garage). Spectacular lake views, sunrises and sunsets from the beach, Living Room and Lanai!! The views from the Primary Bedroom, Living Room, 2 upstairs bedrooms and Lanai are priceless! Also, the daily parade of Canada Geese up and down the shoreline is worth keeping an eye open for them, especially in the Spring with their ducklings trailing behind. Many times they make a stop on our beach! Book with us and see for yourself!
