Great location! We came for my daughter’s birthday which consisted of Kalahari & Cedar Point. Very easy drive to both places as well as any restaurants or grocery stores. The house itself was clean and fully stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. Our only issue was the heat. It’s definitely a home where the heat rises and you can feel it, especially in the top kids loft. There’s small fans in the rooms but those were not enough at times. But a really great place! Especially for a family with kids. Park and water access right outside!

this house has LOTS of stairs throughout its rather odd 'vertical' architecture, but the place is kind of cool for that same reason .. it has a super comfortable porch with multiple ways to sit and enjoy .. the house is in a very nice neighborhood, but with not very much parking .. between the house and the lake is a pleasant public park with shade, benches, picnic tables, BBQ grills and such .. the beach was a little disappointing with a bit of an industrial feel rather than a wide-open summer fun feel like Outer Banks or Waikiki (I know, pretty high standard)

We had a large group: 12 adults/children. This home provided everything you would need to entertain. What is unique about this property is the kitchen provided you with all essentials to cook, the bedrooms are comfortable, plenty of towels and bathroom essentials are provided. The home had several areas to hang out and the owners provide games, in addition to bikes in the shed. We will definitely be back!

Overall, this was a great place to stay. Great view of Lake Erie, playground, fun house for kids with 3 levels. Lots of room for large gatherings. Able to step outside and play, swim, or fish without having to drive. Nickel Plate Beach nearby was very nice for a bigger beach. Short drive to or from Cedar Point. We had a great time! The only complaint was that the outside trash containers were full upon our arrival. But the owner got back to us quickly.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this VRBO! From the moment we arrived, everything was just as pictured—clean, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared. The home was beautifully decorated, fully stocked with all the essentials (and more), and located in a peaceful, convenient area.The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, making check-in a breeze and ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Whether we were relaxing on the patio, enjoying the comfy beds, or exploring the nearby attractions, we felt completely at home.It was the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend, and we’re already talking about coming back. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable, worry-free experience!

This house is perfect for a large family. The shower in the bathroom on the first floor with the laundry room was very small, but the exrtra large bathroom upstairs more than made up for it! Having the high chair and pack and play was super helpful and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need!! The family also loved playing foosball when it was rainy. We did enjoy being able to go down to the beach and to the playground too!! Would recommend this VRBO house! It worked out perfectly for us. And Ruthann was super easy to contact and responded VERY quickly to questions!

Shore house stay

The Shore House is an older home but furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The porches were incredibly comfortable. The loft rooms were exciting for our five children (12 and under) to play in but the spiral staircase was a little too hard for them to maneuver at night for restrooms so we kept them on the second floor, much to their disappointment. Beautiful park across the road with playground completed the week.

Great experience, the house is turn key and ready to go and when I say turn key this place has it all, if you are visiting just bring your food they have thought of everything. Huge props to the owners would recommend to anyone visiting the Sandusky area to book in here. You are only 15 minutes to Cedar Point so don't fret about being to far away.
