My family of four (tween/teen kids) spent two nights at this charming cottage. There was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable and we had everything we could need. The host has everything stocked that you could need (and then some!). It was perfectly clean and decorated perfectly, for the lake house vibe. It was the perfect location for all our exploring around Headlands, Geneva-on-the-Lake, and Madison. The shared private beach access is what really sealed the deal for us. Such a lovely place; will definitely consider returning!

This property was absolutely one of the best I’ve been to! Very clean and well thought out with the small details that most properties lack. There were snacks, drinks, and plenty of toiletries. Sarah was very good about answering questions and responding in a timely manner. My only complaint is that I could not find a broom to sweep up little crumbs and sand before we left. I highly recommend this property! Especially for a relaxing getaway and/or girls trip.

It was a pleasure hosting these guests! They were friendly, respectful, and easy to communicate with throughout their stay. They left the cottage in great condition and were appreciative of the amenities provided. We would gladly welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to other hosts. Thank you for choosing our cottage for your getaway, and we're so happy you enjoyed your stay! "Thank you for the feedback about the broom—we've made sure it's easier to find for future guests!"

Best Vrbo we have stayed at!

Seriously the best experience and vacation home we could have planned for a girls weekend. They had thought of everything (beach chairs, full kitchen) and treated us with local wine and cinnamon bread for when we had arrived. We enjoyed the private beach and this beautiful home which the pictures do not do justice. The host was so communicative and ran into no issues whatsoever. We will definitely be back!!

Perfect little cottage!!

This place was more than words, the views the cuteness of the decorating and cleanliness made our stay even better! We cannot wait to come back! Just 5mins down the rd is a great place for dinner called Driftwood, reservations only! Staff is so friendly and the food was amazing! And just a few more mins from there downtown Geneva. It was nice to stay away from downtown and have the late evenings and early mornings on the pier with our friends and coffee! Thanks again!

Loved It!

What a wonderful cottage for a girls’ weekend! Cottage was clean, had lots of little extras ( scones, artisan bread, fresh flowers, assortment of K-cups and a bottle of Prosecco) and a wonderful patio with a view of the water! Check in and communication with Sarah was super simple! We want to come back next year and start longer than a weekend!!

cleanliness and charm in every corner!

The property is in a great location, it is in a non-busy and relaxed area, but just 10 mins from genovia-on-the-lake and 10 mins in the opposite direction to a Giant Eagle and shopping plaza. And, of course, it is practically right on the beach. You can see the water from the patio and the sunrises are great. There is also a pier that we could bring our lawn chairs out onto and enjoy the view. Communication and check-in with Sarah were seamless, adding to the ease of our stay. And the little extras provided, like artisan bread, cookies, K-cups, added an extra layer of warmth to our experience. As for the cottage itself, it was very clean and has everything you need. In fact, this may have been one of the most well stocked rentals I have been to. It's often the case that hosts provide just enough to get you through the first night, leaving you to fend for yourself thereafter. But here, every need was anticipated, sparing us the hunt for a convenience store at odd hours. From beach towels to chairs, they had it all, demonstrating genuine consideration for their guests. We enjoyed our stay here, and next time we need to come to the area, we will look this place up again without a second thought. Oh, and if you are driving here from the south or south-east. Take 528N instead of the recommend 11N, such a nicer drive right thru Amish country.

Perfect lake cottage

The property is in a great location. There is a private beach just a few steps away and Geneva on the lake and many wineries are a short drive. The cottage is exactly as pictured and perfect for the lake. We had to call the owner for a minor issue and it was resolved immediately. I would definitely go back.

Short stay in Madison for a day at the wineries. Luckily found this little gem by Lake Erie. Our stay was comfortable and relaxing. We enjoyed spending time by the lake in the morning and evening. The house was well kept in side and out....it was perfect for our needs.

Fabulous stay

We had a fabulous stay here! The views were amazing! Breath taking sunsets and sunrises. Morning coffee in the gazebo was so relaxing. My wife and I enjoyed using the golf course right across the street from the house, so convenient. The house was clean and had everything we needed. There are so many great wineries to visit nearby. The property manager was great and very helpful with suggestions of things to do in the area. Our son and his family came to visit and we were able to rent the cottage that is also on the property. What a great extra! My son and his family had their own place to stay in while they visited us with plenty of room for their family. It was just the getaway we needed. We will definitely be back. Thanks!

Hi Marcus, Just noticed your review--thanks for taking the time to do one and especially for noting all the fine points of the property. Isn't that view amazing. We have the best sunsets. Please do come back--would love to host your family on another trip to the lake. Debbie

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

Host profile image
After spending nearly 10 years living abroad, I'm thrilled to be back home in Lake County, Ohio. Having grown up on Lake Erie, I jumped at the chance to share my own place with guests and host them, so they can experience all that Lake County has to offer.

Why they chose this property

I love the small-town feel of North Madison. It offers easy access to shopping, dining, and activities, while avoiding the heavy traffic and crowded streets found in other Ohio communities.

What makes this property unique

Chill Beach Shores is a cozy 3-bedroom cottage, offering the perfect escape with all the essentials. We're conveniently located near attractions, while also providing a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation.
