About this property

Large Lake House - Just Steps Away From The Beach in Private Community

The Perch Lake House is perfect for large families and family reunions, sleeping up to 23 people. The Perch is in The Private Mitiwanga Beach Community. It sits two streets back from the lake but just a short walk to the beach. You’ll have Lake views from the living room, back deck, and two out of the three balconies. The Community features: Two Tennis Courts, Basketball Courts, Volleyball, and lots of community actives throughout the summer. Don't worry about bringing beach supplies because we've got them! We provide beach towels, beach toys, chairs, and umbrella. We also have tennis balls and tennis rackets, basketball, and volleyball for all the sports people! We don't have cable but there is Wifi and Netflix on all five TV's. The large eat-in kitchen has everything you'll need during your stay - all you have to do is bring the food! The living room and dinning room area are spacious with plenty of room for everyone. The Billiards room on the main floor has a pool table and the Foosball Table and Ping Pong Table are in the basement. The Basement also has a bonus bedroom with a full bathroom and a second set of washer and dryer. The back deck right off the kitchen has chairs, fire pit, bar, gas grill, and a sink. It's the perfect place to spend those summer nights grilling out! We're less than 10 minutes to Huron and 10-15 minutes to Vermillion. If you're looking to go to Cedar Point its about a 20-30 minute drive from the house. The Perch is our favorite place to spend our time in the summer and we hope you come see why!

The house and location were perfect for an Oberlin graduation weekend that involved family and close friends converging on Cleveland at many times. There was ample overflow parking, many sleeping options, and the flexible kitchen space was perfect for breakfasts on the go and evening dinner gatherings. The pool table and ping pong were great diversions while cousins hung out between commencement activities, leaving the living room open for anyone who wanted to hang out and relax. It was unfortunate that our weekend was cool and rainy, but we did manage to make it to the beach for a short visit and there were a few volleyball games between cloudbursts. The kitchen was well-appointed and it was wonderful to have coffee waiting for us after a late night arrival. I've already posted the listing on the Oberlin parents Facebook page so I hope you get more Obie families to enjoy this wonderful home and location. Thank you!

Chez ZigZag is gorgeous! The views are fantastic. We walked down the zigzag stairs to downtown- a grocery store is right at the bottom of the steps and the ferry to Victoria is an easy 10 minute walk. If you put “James View Point” into your phone you’ll have no problem finding this place. High end everything- they have a clear geodesic dome in their yard/garden as an extra living room. We met the owner and he was very helpful and friendly. We had a fantastic time. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Family reunion and retirement celebration

We had a wonderful weeklong vacation in this amazing home. We had everything we could possibly need and more. It was beyond perfect for our celebration. The location was great - near Cedar Point, Huron, Vermillion - grocery and drugstore nearby but old school family friendly neighborhood steps away from a beautiful private beach. We had 7 adults and 4 children ages 2-9. Plenty of room for all. Thank you Charles and Emma for our family vacation dream come true.

Mitiwanga on Lake Erie

Our stay was GREAT, sorry for yelling, but it was GREAT! One Grandson had is birthday on 5 Jul and could not have asked for a better time. We spent time in Cleveland and saw the "Indians vs the Braves" at his request. Cedar Point, Lake Erie beaches, the neighborhood, how well the house was equipped with everything we needed and how well the house is built and maintained. This is a gem and would love to do it again.

Lake Vacation

We normally vacation on the Outer Beaches of NC, but this year we decided to meet family members halfway and stay on the Lake. The Perch was perfect! The house has everything you could ask for to include, all the linens, cooking supplies, beach toys. The beds are made prior to our arrival and check out was easy. I personally parked our vehicle on Sunday and didn't move it until Friday. The beach was wonderful, a quick and easy walk from the house. The owners were responsive and very helpful. We hope to make it back soon.

Perfect for our family vacation

We had 8 kids (4,4,8,8,10,11,14,16) and 8 adults and this was a great fit for us. We played kickball, wiggle ball, soccer and basketball in the small, private community park (we brought our own sport gear). We did this when we weren’t swimming in the lake or at cedar point. It was great to have the towels, sheets and all the kitchen stuff we needed at our finger tips. Even had a hair dryer! Small grocery store within 3 minutes away and a dollar general within 5. Cute ice cream shop in vermillion just 10 minutes away.

Summer rental

Not a bad place, but needs a bit of adjustment in expectation setting. The house itself is in good shape on the inside and has plenty of room and things to use (kitchen, towels, games, etc.). Its everything else that is a bit off. Your view of lake is minimal and about 3 blocks away. The beach for the community is very small and has a ton of rocks. The location is not very close to shopping, so be prepared to drive 15 minutes to markets. The deck was in pretty bad shape and we couldn't even use it as it was very dirty. We did grill, but only after the property team came out and cleaned the grill on day 3. So in all, its not a bad place, but for the price I think I would look at other spots closer and that can give you a better beach access. Our highlight was playing family volleyball games next to the house.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar 2020
I'm sorry to hear you were not completely satisfied with your stay. We stayed there for our annual family vacation the week after you and power washed the deck for the second time this year. We also asked the cleaning crew to give attention to the outside kitchen with each cleaning. There is not just one section of Beach available to you as you stay but 4 all across the lakefront separated by 5 piers. We have a large family and there was plenty of beach for all of us to play, along with the rest of the community. Our house is the 3rd back from the lake so to say 3 blocks is not very accurate. This is a new house and very big so there are some things we are still learning about ourselves, however we have been staying in Huron each year for the past 15 years so the area is very familiar. From our house the closest grocery store is 5 minutes in downtown Huron. Vermillion also offers many amenities 10 minutes away. Communication is appreciated so that these issues can be addressed.

Wonderful property and hosts, wonderful experience

All of the great things that the description and other reviewers say about this property and the hosts are true. Our extended family of 3 children and 8 adults ranging in age from 4 to 85 stayed for a week. Everyone had a wonderful time and wants to return. Hosts Emma and Charles are proactive, warm, and responsive. When the microwave stopped working we had a replacement from the storage room within 15 minutes of texting them - on a Sunday evening! A minor maintenance issue was fixed the next morning. The beach is a very short walk from the house. While it is relatively small, it is perfect for children, clean, nice sand, and waves to play in. It was almost empty during our stay. The house is large and very comfortable, with an amazing number of amenities and activities - a library with numerous books, games, puzzles, and a billiards table, ping pong and Foosball tables, drip and Keurig coffee machines, a food processor, a citrus squeezer(!), gas grill, fire pit, beach and recreation supplies including sand chairs and an amazing number of beach towels, two refrigerators, two sets of washers and driers, the list goes on and on. We also found many activities, restaurants, ice cream parlors, etc. in the area. This place, and the hosts, are very special. Highest recommendation. We will be back!

Great place and awesome hosts!

The Perch was the perfect place for my family and I to meet up for an end-of-summer getaway. Our growing family ranges in ages from 9 months to 60+ years, and the Perch offered us everything we needed and more. The location is top notch, offering something for everyone in our group, whether it was games on the tennis and basketball courts all day, a two minute walk to the beach, or a quick trip to Cedar Point for the coaster enthusiasts. The house itself is awesome, and particularly separates itself from other rentals with how well-stocked it is. There was need for nothing in the kitchen where we made breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 14 people each day. Likewise, the bed sheets, bath towels, and beach towels really made everything easier specifically for me, my wife and baby, as we flew in from New England and couldn’t bring every provision. There were also several baby and kids toys available, which all the kids played with more than their own! Lastly, what really separates the Perch from other rentals is the hosts, Charles and Emma. We had more than a plethora of questions leading up to the stay and the first night of the stay while we were getting situated and they responded to absolutely everything immediately and couldn’t have been more helpful. They also let us check in more than an hour early, even though the cleaners were there that afternoon turning the house over from guests that checked out that morning. Overall 10/10 rating, I HIGHLY recommend.

If 3.5 stars was an option...

Overall, we loved the location and functionality of the house, but did feel as though it was lacking. I will say foremost, the owner was very responsive when I reached out, which I greatly appreciate. The house was well stocked, well cleaned and a had a nice layout. We also had issue with the a/c, the coldest we got the house was 70 degrees, but most days it was a struggle to keep it under 80 on the main floor which was just not comfortable for us or the babies. The bedroom on the 3rd floor with no AC was unusable, which meant we had to bunk our 3 big boys in the pool / library room and move adults into the bunk room to accommodate all of our guests (which we had planned on using before the creation of the basement "room"). There was one night that the power went out, the house was already at 78 at 10PM, when attempting to open windows, not all of them had screens. The front porch railing / steps were in rough condition, making it hard for babies and our injured guest to get up and down. The back porch is in rough shape, but we loved the grill which we used numerous times. It would be helpful to have more areas to put garbage, with 17 of us eating in for every meal we had a lot of garbage and not a lot of places to put it. The upstairs washing machine was uneven which was really annoying while we were doing laundry. Loved the location, it was truly steps to a very wonderful beach. It was a nice quiet neighborhood and the drive to Cedar Point was easy.

Thank you for leaving a review, we appreciate feedback on how to better the home and stay for others. The issues have been or will be addressed. Unfortunately the home came with an undersized ac unit which we did not find out about until this summer. A new one will be changed out this fall. We hope you will return next year to find the home better suited for your family. Thank you Jessica

Great Family House

We had 10 adults in our family group, and we were very comfortable. Loved the big, comfy couch in the living room and open kitchen with two dining tables for family meals. The kitchen is nicely appointed, and the location was great. We had fun playing pickleball at the tennis courts, just steps away.
