About this property

Lake Erie Beachfront Apartment with beach that doesn't end.

This Light on the Lake Beachcomber apartment opens directly to some of the deepest beach, approximately 50 yards, in the entire Erie area. The apartment offers a spacious living room and a kitchen. The apartment is in the lower level of our home.

The deck overlooking the beach features its own dining table with deck chairs. The property includes a 30-foot high lighthouse (not available to guests). It is a modern construction but not for navigational purposes.

Fishing boat concessions may be next door, at the North East Marina.. One winery is less than a mile away and others are an easy drive. Very flat roads allow for easy bicycling.

Girls' trip

Great place to stay if you're a beach lover. We stayed here 4 years ago and loved it again. Unfortunately there was so much algae in the lake we couldn't swim but the walks were still amazing! Easy contact with the hosts and Marcia suggested a beach just a mile or so down the way that we could swim at. Would stay at again.

Family trip to North East

This is the second summer we have stayed with Marcia and Dennis in their lovely lakefront property. We enjoyed the very private beach, fire pits at night, and falling asleep to the sound of waves. Marcia and Dennis are extremely kind and welcoming yet respectful of their guests privacy.

Beautiful views, nicely appointed, very clean, comfortable and spacious. Gorgeous private deck. Beach was pretty but rocky and had a lot of woody debris and some algae. Very private. WiFi was spotty- only an issue if you are trying to work. Nearby library was terrific for this purpose. Shower was hot and clean. Dishwasher and washer/dryer were great.

My new husband and I enjoyed our stay so much at this place! It was right along the lake and was in walking/driving distance to so many attractions! Marcia was even kind enough to bring us some champagne and chocolates with being on our honey moon! We will most definitely be coming back!

Restful Multi-Generational Family Getaway

Our visit to the lake house was very relaxing. The property was in a serene little area with a lovely vista and no other traffic. It was pretty and well-equipped. We lacked nothing. While I wasn't sure what to expect being next door to the marina, there was very little activity that reached us, and it was relaxing and interesting to watch the fishing boats as they came and went at a distance. The water was nice and the beach was clean and accommodating for three 13-year old girls and their floats to hang out and play. The marina wall made a nice barrier so that supervising them was easy. The fire pit area was quaint and comfortable as well. Marcia and Dennis were close but didn't interfere at all with any of our activities or lack thereof. Note of interest: the Marina restaurant was very tasty but plan to pay at least $20 per person. Many nearby non-chain restaurants are closed on Mondays and sometimes Tuesdays. Our only cons were that the wi-fi was a bit spotty and probably needs a booster (so didn't get to log in to check in on work) and that we didn't take more days off work and book a longer stay.

Beach home

This was a nice property. The owners are very nice and attentive when needed. I got stung 3 times as soon as we got there and Dennis came to check on me, sprayed the nest and moved the chair. The home is bigger than the pictures show so that was a nice surprise. You do need to bring your own grilling tools but they do supply the charcoal. Things needed in the kitchen...cookie sheets and perhaps community spices. I'm use to fully stocked spices so we didn't bring any and had to run to the store. You do have to be quiet after 11pm which sort of put a damper on our girls weekend but their house, their rules. You have to really clean the house before leaving but there was 5 of us so that went quickly. Overall it was a nice long weekend and we really enjoyed our beach walks/swims! Thank you for having us!

About the host

Hosted by Dennis & Marcia Groce

Host profile image
We are retired engineer and teacher, active in our faith and church. We have two adult sons but no grandchildren yet. Dennis grew up in the St. Louis area, and Marcia grew up outside of New Haven, Connecticut. We met in college and have been happily married for more than 50 years!

Why they chose this property

We were actually just looking for a place near the water after retirement. We loved the house and location, and the previous owners had begun the apartment rental and bed n breakfast, and had some commitments already for the coming season. So we decided to give it a try, and it has been a nice fit for us.

What makes this property unique

Our guests have the opportunity to relax in chairs on the decks, beach, or walk as far as they want in either direction. When the weather allows, guests are welcome to have evening beach fires in our fire ring. We have the marshmallow sticks! A pleasant summer evening at the fire and under the stars is a real treat. The living room and both bedrooms feature windows with views of the beach and Lake Erie. If you want to take a day trip, Niagara Falls is 90 minutes away. Buffalo, with two Frank Lloyd Wright sites, is 60 miles or so east. Wineries are as close as a quarter mile down the road, with many more within 10 miles or so.
