Charming Century Lakeside Retreat *Private Beach*
This is a beautiful cottage!!! The space is perfect for spending time with family or friends. The beds are comfy and everything in the space was great. The only thing to note is that while it is on the water (in terms of beautiful view), the water isn't really accessible but there is a convenient beach near by! Such a beautiful place and we hope to return in the future!

SUNRISE BAY with panoramic view of Lake Erie
It was a phenomenal stay, Dean was very helpful and clear with instructions and the place looked great. It’s a wonderful spot for a nice peaceful weekend, plenty to do outdoors in the surrounding areas as well.

LAKE Escape Retreat - Onsite Beach Dock Waterfront
we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was exactly as stated, with a few added bonuses. The explanation of how to check in, what to expect, what anemities were available, what to bring, and even what to prepare for- down to the details of what to expect that month, or season was fabulous! In our circumstances, having rented the cottage while our home was under construction, Tim was phenomenal in responding quickly and ever so helpful! can't wait to go back again! I highly recommend staying here!

Sauna, stunning Lake Erie view, lakefront retreat
We had the best weekend there we will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone to go give it a try!

Pura Vida Beach House-100 ft. of Private Beach
Matt and Emily’s place was amazing and exactly as pictured and described. The private beach was everything we hoped for and offered so much peace and relaxation. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. Matt and Emily both were very helpful offering recommendations and answering questions quickly. They had plenty of beach toys and outdoor activities. We definitely be planning a trip back!

Fox Den on the Beach-Sunrise, Surf and Sand
Peaceful cottage right on the beach with the sunrise to welcome your morning. Friendly people in the neighborhood. Great value, especially if you occupy all three rooms. I appreciated that the host met me on the premises to give a brief overview and thanked me for my business. Guidebook was very helpful. Lot of amenities provided. Unfortunately, I did not read the part about the garbage removal in a timely fashion, and the waste transfer station was closed when I left, so I took the garbage with me. Thankfully it was not much and I had my car.

CJ's is lakefront, pet friendly
This is the cutest little cottage with 2 bedrooms. It had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The decor makes guests feel happy. There are pleasant little comforts throughout the cottage that makes you know that Jennifer, our hostess, thought of everything. The yard is beautiful with a firepit and the lake right on its doorstep. A refuge for sure!

Private Beachfront Lake Erie Getaway
We had a great stay! The cottage is cute, clean and had literally everything we needed. Really appreciated the host reaching out to ensure we had additional items for travelling with an infant. We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage! The property was spotless upon arrival and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable visit. Traveling with an infant can be challenging, but the host went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed — it made all the difference. The cottage is tucked away on a private lot, far from any main roads, offering a peaceful and relaxing escape from the city. It was the perfect place to unwind and recharge. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet getaway with all the comforts of home!

Cedar Island Sandbox
Another great stay! When the weather didnt co-operate we checked out the local wineries and had an amazing lunch at Coopers Hawk. Golfed at Kingsville Golf and Country Club that was just 5 minutes up the road. We had fun kayaking in the waves and campfires on the beach! Thanks again Jeff!

Southern Exposure on Lake Erie
We loved the place , the views are amazing. So nice sleeping to the sound of the crashing waves . We had everything we wanted and more ! We will be back

Studio on the Beach
Beautiful place to visit. The studio was super clean, inviting and so comfortable. The view was beautiful- waking up to the sunrise every morning. A stone's throw to the beach, which was very clean and well kept. A great getaway for downtime and privacy. Not a lot to do other than the beach, but a state park only 15 minutes away. Would definitely book this place again!

Stunning Beachhouse with 200ft of Private Beach
Beautiful home that exceeded our expectations!!!! The pictures don’t do justice for just how beautiful it is!

Bella Vista - Cedar Island Kingsville, Lakefront!
What an excellent way to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the waterfront sights and sounds of nature. The cottage was exactly as advertised, spotless on arrival, and it was pure gold place to stay. I can not remember the last time that the was able to feel as relaxed as I did this week just listening to the waves and watching the multitudes of species of birds that came to see us. We will for sure be back!

Once Upon An Island - lakefront cottage rental
We had a wonderful couple days. I loved watching all the robins and bunnies.

★Sunrise Beach House★ Epic Sun, Sand & Sea getaway
This "cottage/beach house" was exactly as expected and more. The house was decorated and outfitted with style and use in mind. The amenities were over the top, the kitchen and living rooms have everything you needed and didn't know you needed. Such fun decor. It felt like an escape which served its purpose. Andy's communication was quick and friendly. The house rules were easy to follow without feeling stuffy. The neighbours were even very friendly! We were greeted by all of them kindly. The area was quiet and calm. The beach was incredible with bird life all around us. Thanks for sharing the wonderful space with your guests!

Sunset View Bunky Retreat -Beach/Explore/Relax :)
The cabin is cozy, comfortable, and has all the amenities you need. The sun room is fantastic for sitting and watching the waves roll in. This was my second visit and I wouldn't hesitate to return. Leslie is friendly and super responsive. The cabin feels like home away from home!

Kate’s Place on the Beach
We stayed here last year and planned to come again. It is right on the beach. It has a great closed in deck for hanging out and socializing. This has become an annual event for us and our friends.

Family Holiday Getaway: Hot Tub & Freighter Views
We went for a weekend fishing trip and found that we never had to leave the property. The house had plenty of places for a large group to sleep comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make all of our meals for the weekend. Carla and Chris were great hosts and provided clear and simple instructions for the stay!

Hot Tub, Sunsets and Moon lit Lakehouse!
We found Paul's place to be cozy and clean. Amenities and furniture listed are all there, and in good working order. The lakeview from the photos are exactly that - unobstructed view out to the lake. The first day we were there the weather was quite rough, so the lake looked like something from a storm movie and it was very windy. The second night was much calmer, and our kids were able to go down to the private beach which they enjoyed a lot. The wind from the first night helped a bit with the bugs but the second night it was unbearable to go out at all. We searched and found it is a common thing for the area in May. Nevertheless didn't affect us had BBQ and hot tub earlier in the late afternoon, so plan accordingly if you are in the area around this time. There are additional off-site check-in and security deposit required, including uploading a copy of your driver's license to a 3-party site. I didn't like this part but they included this in their listing so we were aware.

Luxury Waterfront Oasis For 10 on Serene Cass Lake
We loved our stay ! Everything was perfect! It was clean and very beautiful. And the views of the water were beautiful and peaceful. Loved waking up and drinking my coffee on the patio and watching the lake! James was always very responsive to our needs! He would go out of way just for us! Very appreciated. He is kind and understanding! Really had a great time being there. It was like home away from home. Thank you James for everything!
