Great Property and Owner

I really hate to let everyone know how great this property is as I want to see it available again. Super convenient location to everything in Lorain including Oasis Marina and mile long pier. The views at sunset and sunrise are breathtaking. The outdoor area is so nice to enjoy it all. Everything with this rental was great. The owner is great at.communicating eveything you need to know and the checkout was simple. We will be back.

Family getaway

House was clean and as shown in pictures. Had all our kitchen needs plus some. Owners very quick to respond to messages. View was amazing and we all loved feeding the squirrels. Convenience store next door and ice cream parlor just a few minute walk was great too! Swimming beach and fishing pier super close too.

Great Views!

Our stay was wonderful! The hosts were very communicative and helpful with anything we needed and everything was very clean. Plenty of towels, blankets and little extras around the house that make the stay very comfortable. Plenty of things to do in the area too if you can tear yourself away from the beautiful view and amazing sunsets. There is no water access from the backyard even though it looks like there might be in the photos, and the bathroom situation is a little confusing: listed as 2.5, but it’s really 1.5 with an extra toilet in the basement. For our family of 6, we made it work. Thank you to our hosts for everything.

Outstanding Property with Panoramic Lake Views

We have booked various accommodations at 6 lake view properties since 2018. This property has surpassed the entire selection with outstanding cleanliness, furnishings, panoramic lake views, overall property condition and presentation (indoors and out). In addition, the owners were extremely helpful and responsive. We felt entirely welcome and comfortable throughout the booking process, including the actual 4 nite stay. We intend to return to this property for future trip plans. We highly recommend this property.

A Wonderful Home & Hosts

I’m truly touched by the opportunity to have stayed the week at Rob & Melissa’s beautiful home on Lake Erie. Where to start!? The best part of my stay was the warmth, care and concern that these most wonderful people exude and became the most important part of my experience. The warm welcome note and sincere wishes for a bright outcome for the medical issues we faced touched our hearts. And the delicious flakey cheese pastry they had brought for my elderly mother and I were a very nice touch and a treat that lasted; a most generous gift. They were aware I’d traveled from CT to be with family during a time of consternation with a family member’s illness that had taken a toll on mom, who at 91 years of age, needed a respite. As mom entered the home she uttered, “I feel like I’m on a movie set!” She was happier than I ever could have imagined; I was happy and felt that it did the trick. The home sits on a bluff above Lake Erie with all the awe and magnificence that comes with the changing weather of early December. The layout was open to the most gorgeous wall of windows facing the lake. The yard was a nice size for my dogs and the only note of caution is that dogs must either be leashed or listen impeccably to avoid the edge…it’s a good sized drop. Yet, 2 of mine, blind old fellows, managed it well with verbal commands. Just know your dog and you’ll be fine. I was appreciative of the recommendations for local shopping especially made convenient by the very nice folks at the market across the street. Great short order meals and a nice selection of items to pick up in an instant. Ordered several meals for us. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, billiards and foosball and a nice big TV added to the comfort and extra fun. Love the lighting array that suits any mood. The sofas are super comfy and the decor is simple and elegant. The beautifully decorated Christmas tree and decor put us in the spirit of the season at a time when our spirits needed it. Of note: Having a bedroom and bathroom on the entry level was great for mom’s limited mobility. Only 3 steps up the the kitchen dining room and living area were manageable with some assistance. Trust me! This is the home for anyone; you will not be disappointed and you’ll probably feel as we did; pampered and happy. Thanks Melissa and Rob…you are the best!

Family Reunion

My family spent 8 days at the property. My mother who is 83 was with us. She uses a walker and was able to move around easily in the home. We enjoyed the view and the home very much and plan on staying there when visiting family in the future.

Spacious home with a lakeside view

We really appreciated the stay at this lovely home. It's a great place, comfortable and spacious, with an amazing view. We really appreciated the owner's responsiveness as well. We are grateful to him for hosting us! It was a great stay. Note to renters: the home doesn't have access to the water, but it is an amazing view. We didn't need access and the view was perfect, but for those who want access, one needs to use public access elsewhere.

Why they chose this property

This is a family house we decided to try and keep it in the family. Short term vacation rental was a great fit for us. This gives us the flexibility to keep the home and use it as needed. This also gives us the ability to share this amazing home with others.

What makes this property unique

The sunsets and views from this property are simply amazing. Positioned close to the Lorain Harbor, you can see so much beauty and activity. Constant boat and jet ski activity, even the occasional freighter pulling into the harbor.
