The condo is just off the base of Erie's vacation destination, Presque Isle State Park, a 3,200-acre sandy peninsula that arches into Lake Erie. As Pennsylvania's only "seashore," Presque Isle offers its visitors a beautiful coastline and many recreational activities, including swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, bicycling and in-line skating. A National Natural Landmark, Presque Isle is a favorite spot for migrating birds. Because of the many unique habitats, Presque Isle contains a greater number of the state's endangered, threatened and rare species than any other area of comparable size in Pennsylvania.
The unit is adjacent to the Tom Ridge Environmental Center. The Center describes its activities as follows. "From the orientation theater that will take visitors through 12,000 years of history and four seasons on the peninsula, from sunrise to sunset, to the interactive exhibits that allow visitors to manipulate wind, water, and land, there will many exciting experiences to pique the visitor’s curiosity. Visitors will also be able take in a large format movie (similar to IMAX), discover all the region has to offer from PA’s Great Lakes Region, and take in a bite to eat at the convenient café. And as if that were not enough, now visitors will be able to browse an expanded nature shop, which will include local memorabilia, the works of local artists, and various other books, clothing, gifts and more."
You will be less than a half mile to the Waldameer Amusement and Water Park. The park has 75 rides including 2008's Ravine Flyer roller coaster which goes over the entrance to Presque Isle State Park. It is described on its web site as "a beautiful family fun amusement and water park complex, Waldameer and Water World features scores of amusement park rides, magnificent water park slides, live shows, modern arcade, traditional midway games, food and refreshment centers, souvenir and gift shops, and numerous picnic groves all surrounded by gorgeous landscaped grounds. Every aspect of this multi-use entertainment complex is specifically designed to provide the appropriate entertainment and recreation areas for every member of the family, no matter what age or thrill level desired."

Stores include craft, antique, grocery, drug, department and many others. Don't rough it by being miles away from everything, these are all within 15 minutes.

The condo association requires a one month minimum rental. While you can always use less, the lease needs to be for one month so this will need to be factored into your rent.
