Family Getaway to Lake Erie with Private Beach Access
Check out our recently renovated and newly decorated “Beach Retreat” in Huron, OH. Spend the day at our private beach and then make s`mores by the solo stove fire pit at night or relax in the AC while the kids play ping-pong or foosball. Your family beach retreat is ready for you!
We are nestled in a family friendly beach neighborhood, with private access to Old Homestead II Beach, a short couple of blocks at the end of our street.
Beach Retreat features a spacious kitchen and living room, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a basement full of fun indoor activities and a recently created outdoor space. The brand-new stamped patio has outdoor seating around a smokeless, wood-burning fire pit and family outdoor dining for 6.
Occupancy max is 8 person and we can ideally only offer parking for 2 cars in the summer months.

- Bedroom 2 – Queen Bed
- Bedroom 3 – Upstairs North side dormer with 2 twin beds (not bunked)

We are ready for your home-made meals unless you would rather grill out. A propane grill is waiting for the Grill Master of your family out back.
Our home also has a full-size washer and dryer with detergent and dryer sheets supplied.
Other Features
The basement provides the kids with endless entertainment with a foosball table, ping pong table, games and a smart Tv with DVD player and nostalgic Atari gaming system.
Beach chairs, towels and a wagon make heading to the beach a breeze, or take a stroll around town on our cruiser bikes in the garage.
