About this property

Great Lakes Waterfront Cottage Estral Beach

The view of the sun sparkling on the lake stops you in your tracks the second you walk through the door of this newly renovated cottage. Almost every room in the house has a water view (with the exceptions of only the bathrooms and garage)The proximity of the cottage to the lake gives you the feel you are on a cruise ship. Spend your day on the water, on the deck outside overlooking the lake, barbecue on the deck, have a fire in the patio gas fireplace at night after it all. For swimming and watercraft, there is a brand new public swimming access right next door where you can also launch your Kayak / paddleboard. Incredible restaurant with bar “Vincent V’s” 100’ from the Cottage with incredible food! Point Mouille state game area down the road with endless nature to explore. There are two beautiful beaches you can paddleboard or kayak over to. One is Newport Beach at the mouth of Swan Creek intersecting Lake Erie, and another around the Southernmost corner of Estral Beach. There is a never ending amount of waterways and nature to explore here. There is also a treadmill, exercise bike (use at your own risk) and game room in the attached garage with a foosball table and table tennis. Everything in the house is new, all appliances, including: washer, dryer, dishwasher, tankless water heater, bathrooms, kitchen, everything! Nothing has been overlooked here. Two full bathrooms with the on demand water heater make all the difference in the world when 5 people need to get ready to go out without having to share one bathroom or wait for a conventional water tank to refill once it is depleted. Make sure you research that out if you are considering another property. That alone could make or break your day.

We really enjoyed staying at the Beach House, the view of the lake was awesome. The house was clean and nicely upgraded, and a nice quiet neighborhood. My granddaughter enjoyed the exercise/game room. If we come back this way again, we would definitely stay at the Beach House.

Lovely cottage right on the water. The lake views do not disappoint. Two bedrooms with king size beds and two baths make this a perfect spot to get together with old friends. We spent the weekend chilling around the fire, relaxing, and listening to the waves. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Rich

Host profile image
Dearborn native, love all things Motor City, including, but not limited to Detroit Pizza, Detroit Automobiles and Michigan music.

Why they chose this property

This property was built in 1930, it has been completely renovated, and nobody has lived here since the renovation that was finished in 2022. This property gives you a transported feeling as soon as you walk in the door.

What makes this property unique

It has a brand new kitchen, but if you don’t want to cook, having the family restaurant “Vincent V’s” right across the street is wonderful. There is a brand new water access going in next door, expected completion Spring / Summer 2023. There is also a boat launch within the village.
