The home was probably the cleanest I have ever stayed in. We were all comfortable, there was even a barn door to the living room so our son felt like he had his own room as well. The lake view was great.

Very clean and good location!

Beautiful place for a our family of 4 . We stayed in the house and it was perfect. Plenty of room and comfy beds. Nicely decorated! We stayed for our 2 day cedar point trip and wished we could have booked through the weekend to enjoy the lake more seeing that it's right off Lake Erie. We'll have to come back to enjoy . Lots to enjoy around the property for all you won't be disappointed about this home or the little cottages.

Plenty of space for a large group!

A group of 10 of us stayed in the largest house and one cabin at Plaz Vilka for my bachelorette weekend. We were grateful for two grills to cook a huge dinner, and the private beach was charming. Jen was present to help us settle in and checked in on us as we packed up. Between the hospitality and stocked kitchen, we wanted for nothing. A huge thank you to the owners and cleaners for being such an integral part of a special weekend.

Thank you for your kind review, Meghanne. Plaz Vilka Beachfront House & Cottages has been designed to accommodate large groups as well as small families. That's the beauty of the ability to rent additional Cottages on site to fit the gathering. We look forward to the time when groups will be able to gather & enjoy their company again.

Kathy was a delightful host. The house was so clean and wonderfully stocked!

The house has recently been remodeled very tastefully. I have never slept in beds as comfortable, not even my own! The linens and towels were beautiful. The property was wonderful, well kept and beautiful. The gazebo was delightful. It was too cool to swim but the lake access was great. I would love to come back. I have rated this 5 stars and would highly recommend it.

All of the comforts of home!

We were so grateful to call this lovely home our home base while we enjoyed the fun of nearby Cedar Point Amusement Park. From towels for swimming and bathing in the bathroom, to extra blankets in the bedrooms, to such wonderful cooking pots and pans provided in the kitchen, you will be well provided for in this home, which makes traveling that much easier, since you have much less to pack yourself. We were able to cook a big fabulous breakfast for one of my kids who celebrated a birthday while we were traveling. Will definitely keep this property on our short list for when we return to the area!

This property was every bit as cool as we thought that it would be. The lakefront space is incredible and the stone patio is beautiful from dawn into the light with very tasteful solar powered lighting. The house itself is cozy and perfect for a long labor day weekend with family. Everything was clean and well taken care of.The house is second back from the beach which we were initially a little confused by since the house is called "beachfront". But it is still so close that it would only be a problem for someone with limited mobility trying to get to the beach. And even back by the house the views are ambiance are still really good.Would definitely come back again!

Excellent!

The property is lovely and well maintained. The main house has all the amenities one could hope for and plenty of space. The host and hostess were most hospitable and took the time to answer questions and offer help as needed. And we loved the gazebo. (Jim) Here are a few other amenities that we appreciated: Mirrors in every bedroom, candles, room darkening shades, good bedroom mattresses, beautiful landscaping, well stocked kitchen, good knives, netflix, matches to start a bonfire and the patience to answer all of our questions.

The best of Lake Erie "cottage culture"

We rented this house for 3 nights, and had a wonderful experience. The house was very clean, bright and attractive, and accommodated two families (four adults, three kids) by utilizing the pull-out sofa bed in the living room. The kitchen is narrow, but well stocked with dishes and utensils for preparing meals. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor space-- a grassy area for games and cooking-out, and a shared picnic area and fire pit overlooking the lake, along with private access to the lake. The property is close to Cedar Point (about 20-25 mins), but well removed from the built-up area near the park's entrance. It's also close to the Vermillion, a pleasant town with a nice Main Street and public beach. Communication with the owner, Kathleen, was always timely and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to rent this house again if we visit this area in the future.

Lovely, calming visit

We (2 adults and 2 late-teen kids) really enjoyed our 5-night stay. Positives: 1. The house is spacious for its size, comfortable, cozy 2. Located close to the charming downtown of Vermilion 3. Owners have put a lot of care into this place -- plenty of towels, well-appointed (and recently redone) kitchen, nicely groomed property, lots of games, etc. 4. The wifi was fine -- despite concerns we'd read about in other reviews. 5. The common area building and 3-grill area is great A few small downsides: 1. The beachfront is very small, and almost all rock-fronted, with virtually no sandy front 2. The thermostat is very finicky 3. We would prefer fewer cleaning requirements 4. We would like to have recycling bins

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar 2020
Thank you for the great review. We do appreciate your stay with us while enjoying Cedar Point Amusement Park and area attractions. We appreciate your honest evaluation of the property & of your stay. Just to touch on the aforementioned downsides...... Lake Erie is at a very high level in 2017. Sandstone rock is placed at the waterfront to prevent erosion. In some years there is 110 feet of sandy beach across the back of the property, in other years less...all in the hands of Mother Nature. (and the hydro control dam at Niagara Falls operated by Ontario Hydro/New York State Power Authority...but that's another story....) Guests of Plaz Vilka Beachfront House & Cottages are not charged a cleaning fee; however, as a housekeeping cottage rental we do request that guests help keep costs in line by gathering used linens & towels for laundry pick-up, and freshening the baths/showers after use. Housekeeping staff cleans after each guest family stay to maintain our very high level of cleanliness enjoyed by all guests of Plaz Vilka. Vermilion Township ended their recycling collection site on June 1, 2017 citing escalating costs. We hope as stewards of the lake & land that some type of resolution to the recycling issue will be addressed soon by township trustees. Again, we enjoyed hosting you and other guest families. Please think of Plaz Vilka again if future travel brings you out in this direction. Safe travels! ~Ray & Kathleen Murphy, Owners Plaz Vilka Beachfront House & Cottages
