Walk out the door, walk onto the beach!

Our house is the only one situated on a public beach in the City, where you can walk out the door and be right on the beach! It is located on the bicycle trail and is two blocks from the Dunkirk Lighthouse, as well as Point Gratiot Park. There are lake views from the living room, kitchen, sun room porch & 2nd floor master bedroom. There is a finished bedroom off the back of the garage that one has to walk through the garage to get to, that has 2 full beds, a sofa sleeper and has it's own air conditioning unit. This bedroom also has a tv that can be used with streaming apps. There is air conditioning in the living room, as well as in both bedrooms upstairs (one bedroom with a queen and twin bed, the master bedroom with a queen bed and 2 futons). There is a new gas insert fireplace for use in the colder months.

There is an enclosed, private outdoor area off the back of the house that has a covered area with outdoor furniture for you to use and enjoy. There is plenty of off beach parking with a one car garage the renter may use. There is a propane barbecue grill located in the back yard for you to use. There is a nice garden of perennials for you to enjoy in the back yard also. The house is a pleasant mix of cabin and beach house.

This property is located right on the lake and you can walk down within 2-3 minutes. It’s also located close to everything in town but is secluded.

Lovely home!

My family and I spent 5 days at Kathleen’s home. It’s well stocked with necessities including beach items, toys and books. Kids loved spending time outside and we were fortunate to have great weather. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!

This place was amazing. Gorgeous view of Lake Erie. Quiet, clean neighborhood. Beautiful restored house. Host went over and above when I left my iPad. She messaged me within an hour after checkout that she would mail it to me at no charge. Super great place to stay!

Perfect stay!

This is the second year my family and I have stayed at this property. It was wonderful both times! I appreciate how clean the house is and how well the house is stocked with essentials. One of my children in particular was so excited to stay here because of the toys and games she remembered from the year before. The owner is very quick to respond to messages and goes above and beyond! Highly recommend!

Cozy Christmas on Lake Erie

So warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in the door. A cute mantel decorated for the holidays in the living area. Soft blankets and towels, comfortable mattresses and just like home all around. Very clean, updated and new feeling. Will definitely be back for another stay!

We rented for 2 nights prior to the 4th of July holiday and were happy to have the extra space while visiting family in town. Highlights were the cool AC, fun board games, & proximity to the lake & family! Would 100% stay there again.

Close to the beach!

My five sisters and our mom stayed here and we had a great time. The beach was close to the house and a park within walking distance. It had plenty of things to do at the house the well stocked with beach chairs and things for kids. Nice island with seating and a nice dining table as well. We go on a girls trip each year and stay some place new but we would definitely go back here.
