Soak up the Lake Erie breezes, sunsets, and seasonal lighthouse views in our quiet, secluded neighborhood within walking distance from Lakeview Park & Beach, Lorain's Downtown Broadway, and Black River Landing, and only 30mi to either Cleveland or Cedar Point. Sip your complimentary morning coffee on one of the two porches overlooking the water, then be sure to check out everything the North Coast has to offer while you're here. Pets are OK with additional fees and pre-approval. Welcome aboard!

This brand new, fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath house allows guests to venture to all the local hot spots before settling back into the relaxation and peace that this whole house with off-street parking offers.

Catch a sunset over Lake Erie from the front porch or the comfort of one of the sofas in the living room while cozying up with the glow or warmth from the electric fireplace. The additional cushy sectional can also keep the sights coming with views of the harbor and beach directly across the street.

The first-floor queen bedroom offers seasonal views of Lorain Lighthouse, and the room is adjacent to the living room with easy access to the first-floor full bath with a deep soaking tub and the fully stocked eat-in kitchen complete with a dishwasher.

Upstairs boasts a large king bedroom with lake, harbor, and beach views, including another seasonal view of Lorain Lighthouse. This room also has a twin daybed across from the closet for any overflow of guests or just be another place to sit and relax!

The second-floor queen bedroom is directly up the stairs and has a designated workspace with a desk and chair where you can wirelessly connect to the whole house's high-speed WiFi for work or play.

Continuing through the game room leads to the full upstairs bathroom with the house's bath linens and a shelf full of things you may have forgotten at home. There is a closet in the game room with a full-sized washer and dryer.

There is a propane gas grill on the property and beach towels for your day on the water. Bikes, kayaks, and beach gear are also available to rent nearby.

    We had the most relaxing time at this home. The beds were all super comfortable! Also, the shower never got cold even after 3 very long showers. We loved that, especially with a bigger group. Excellent location, friendly hosts who made every effort to make our stay impeccable. The house was so clean with everything we needed and more. Thank you!!!!

    We were in town for the birthday celebration of two family members. We had a small group aged 14 to 86 in the house and the house was perfect for everyone. Patrick and Brooke did some shopping for us to make our arrival more inviting and we found the house very much a home for a long weekend. Thoroughly pleased!

    We celebrated Thanksgiving with my Mom who lives in Assisted Living in Avon Lake. The house suited us perfectly. The host provided some breakfast items which was very thoughtful. The kitchen was well stocked. The house was very clean and everything looked new.

    Probably the best Vrbo we’ve experienced. House was exactly as presented and host was amazing and available. Lake view and within walking distance to Lakeview Park. Even greeted each morning by 2 eagles in the tree across the street while having morning coffee on the front porch. We will definitely contact this host in the future when traveling to the area visiting family.

    Patrick and Morgan went out of their way to make us feel at home for our 1st Anniversary. We were pleasantly surprised to discover all the beautiful perks staying here brought us and that the home was as updated and as comfortable as it was. There is plenty to do in and around the area, as there was a nearby park and beach access. If you get the pleasure of meeting the rentees, you'll see just how special this place and family is! Otherwise, a walk along the mile long pier, the sunsets/rises, and delicious restaurants will more than keep you busy. If that's not enough, Cleveland is a mere 45 (ish) mins away! Overall, we cannot positively express enough how wonderful this experience was and although the renters didn't know this was our redemption honeymoon, they sure did help replace a such negative time/memory with a truly amazing and unforgettable trip!
