Welcome to your home for the weekend! The Beacon B&B/Vacation Rental at Lakeview Beach offers a relaxing stay directly across from Lakeview Beach and South Lakeview Park, facing the lighthouse with the neighboring beacon light flashing through the windows as if to guide and welcome you home! This classic century home is somewhat formal, yet warm and inviting, to create a comfortable classy atmosphere for our guests. Enjoy morning strolls at the beach with hot coffee or walks through thehistoric rose garden or quaint well-maintained neighborhood. Relax and soak in the sunshine on the beach. Take it up a notch with countless activities: tennis, pickleball, basketball, bike-riding, volleyball. Allow the breathtaking sunset over Lake Erie and the colorful fountain to set the mood for your evening as you take in the splendor with music and wine on the front porch boasting a million dollar view!
The Beacon B&B is a century home located ACROSS the street from the Lighthouse that is pictured with that view of the Lighthouse and Beacon (for which the B&B is named). The Beacon B&B is currently being used as a vacation rental. There will be some extra special services expected in a B&B like fresh flowers, chocolates, etc. in addition, some select breakfast items along with a few toiletries are provided upon your arrival for your enjoyment during your first morning. But the home is rented to single families/groups so you will enjoy it privately! The adjacent property is available via this same online forum for larger groups and/or families.

The Beacon B&B is a classic century home overlooking Lake Erie and Lakeview Beach and north Lakeview Park. The living room features large windows and the warmth of old world charm with a classic nautical touch, creating a comfortable, classy and inviting atmosphere for our guests. The breathtaking views and charming decor continue, opening into the sunroom which has been transitioned into the dining/morning room along with kitchenette.
Find serene resting places on the front porch, along the flagstone paths or into extended side yard, complete with large rod iron table and covered grilling station, all capturing million dollar views! Relax with a good book as you curl-up on the comfy sectional or oversized occasional chairs. The unique futon located in the upstairs front bedroom provides additional reading /daydreaming seating as you continue to be awed by the views.
The sleeping areas begin with this delightful front bedroom directly overlooking the lake and beach. Mermaid's Delight features 2 twin high-end metal framed beds along with the unique futon that provides an extra sleeping option if needed. Tranquility be the Sea boasts a quiet, comfortable night's sleep on its king bed. The large shared bathroom includes double vessel sinks, spacious shower w/ customized shower invigorating accessories. The original claw foot tub optionally provides a relaxing soak. These three large second-floor areas are pleasingly wrapped in calming hues and tasteful nautical inspired decor.
The Beacon B&B, since its 2025 transition, is now an adult-only oasis and, although spacious, is now intended to accommodate up to 5 guests. Our pleasant host continues her aspirations to provide accommodations that truly make you feel at home. Larger groups and/or families are welcome to reserve the adjacent home, A Beach Cottage, which is also listed on this online forum.
What was known as the Captain's Quarters at the original Beacon B&B is now reserved for the owner's use and is a private first floor suite encompassing the rear half of the home/property. The Eagle's Nest of the original layout will be transitioning as the second story patio.
These two homes were built in the early 1900's directly facing the original lighthouse with the neighboring beacon light flashing through the windows as if to guide and welcome you home! Most of the original woodwork and floors remain and grace the halls of this home that reminisce of a bygone era. Sitting proudly across from Lakeview Beach with its magnificent view of Lake Erie sunsets! Additionally, enjoy view of the historic lighthouse fondly known as the Jewel of the Port, its companion beacon, original fountain and its evening colored water displays and be sure to stroll through the historic rose garden, as well as visit the newly reconstructed beach bathhouse that sits on the original foundation remaining from the tornado of 1924. And, of course, don't miss the opportunity to relish a cup of java as your toes meet the sand and the waves at Lakeview Beach!
Ms. Kucirek acquired the original property in 2003 after failing in love with the open airiness of the surrounding parks and magnificent full beach view. She has been happy to share the home and realize her dream of opening a B&B at Lakeview Beach. Subsequently she acquired the adjacent home, A Beach Cottage, and is excited to continue to provide a home away from home to groups both big and small, now with the transition of the Beacon B&B. Reserve now!

    The old house was perfect for the two of us—clean, quiet, safe neighborhood and scenic lake view and park. Gave us close proximity to Cleveland and Cuyahoga National Park. Great local restaurants. Responsive and friendly host.

    The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The host was quick to reply when needed. The beach was tiny, tiny pebbles, not sand. Lots of chairs to sit in and watch the lake and listen to them crashing into the break walls. It was rough when we were there so we did not swim. The backyard was a little confusing on figuring out what part belonged to this house. There is a garage or storage building directly behind the house but we had a great view from the kitchen table looking out.There was a lot to do in the area. We had a good time.

    The house was just as described. The owner was transparent about a couple things that could have been a snag, but we didn’t need a washing machine or a couch in the living room. The view of the lake was beautiful!

    This was a great house to stay in while we attended the FanExpo in Cleveland. So nice to have a whole house for much less than the city rates! Beds were comfortable and the house had everything we needed

    This house, with its four bedrooms, was perfect for my 10 person family attending a celebration of life! Across the street from Lakeview Park, we basked in the lake view and easy access to daily walks along the boardwalk. It was a December stay so we didn’t need any of the beach towels!?

    First: know that this is an older home. With the character come some quirks, and some cracks that some may not like. But the setting is great, the kitchen is remodeled and well appointed, the host was helpful and cooperative

    Our family of 10 stayed at this property this past week, and loved our time here! The location is one of the best features. A beautiful and well kept park is situated across the street, in front of the sandy beach. The neighborhood park across the side street was a great amenity. Baseball diamonds for kickball, tennis and pickleball courts kept us active. Beach volleyball was also a hit. The charming downtown in Vermilion is only 15 min to the west. A Guardians baseball game was 30 min east. My husband took advantage of the Black River bike trail and rode to his heart's content. The beds were all comfortable, and the house was clean. Kelly was wonderful to work with. She was attentive to our needs (extra tp and grabage bags). We would definitely consider returning in the future!

    Beds were VERY comfy. Ceiling fans in each bedroom but not installed with full support so you can't turn them on high without major fan wobble. Rooms got uncomfortably warm (had to borrow stand fan that my son was packing up for college move out) Older house w/ creaking floors and doors. Master shower had minimal water pressure and adjusting temp was odd. Speaking of odd - Storage room at the end of hallway has glass doors -could see inside. Wish there were curtains on those glass doors! Kitchen was well equipped w/round kitchen table maybe seats 5-6. Refrigerator size/location was a challenge. Narrow walkway-had trouble getting sheet cake in the door. Large front porch was nice in the morning, but broken door handle and glass door were an issue without waking the rest of the house. House is on a busy main road with plenty of traffic through the night. Loud people on the tennis courts right next door until 10p and in early morning too. Single bathroom downstairs - motion sensor light, so if you needed a few extra minutes to do your thang in the bathroom, you had to wave or move while sitting to keep light on. Or sit in the dark! Beach towels provided were great. Overall, the house was ok. it has it positives and negatives. NOTE TO FUTURE GUESTS: All access to the house has stairs. Includes driveway. Inside house has steep stairs to bedrooms. No beds or pull-out couch on main floor. Grandparent with hip issue could not come over due to this. Disappointing.
