About this property
4BR, 2BA • Private Community Beach • Hot Tub • Minutes to Cedar Point
Escape to Lake Erie at the Willow Grove Lake House!
Spend your getaway soaking up the sunshine on a sandy private beach, just 7 miles from Cedar Point. This charming, updated home is located only 200 yards down the street from Lake Erie, giving you the perfect combination of a relaxing beach retreat and easy access to all the fun Cedar Point and the Lake Erie area have to offer.
After a day of swimming, boating, and exploring, come home to a super-clean, comfortable, updated space. Relax in the hot tub on the deck, fire up the grill, and enjoy burgers and dinner together while making the most of your evening outdoors.
Inside, you’ll find 4 comfortable bedrooms, 2 TVs for streaming your favorite shows and movies, and plenty of space for family and friends to unwind after a full day at the beach.
FOURTH BEDROOM ON THE FIRST FLOOR
NEW! A fourth bedroom was added on the first floor, making this home especially convenient for older family members or guests who have difficulty navigating a full flight of stairs. There are a few small steps from the ground to get to the 1st floor.
HOT TUB INFORMATION
The hot tub is an extra bonus amenity provided with this beach property. We have a professional hot tub technician who regularly services and maintains it to keep it in excellent working condition. Because the hot tub is a complimentary bonus amenity and not the primary feature of the property, there will be no refunds or credits if the hot tub is unavailable for any portion or all of your stay (though this never happens, we want to be transparent).
The beach, Lake Erie, comfortable accommodations, and proximity to Cedar Point are what make Willow Grove Lake House a great choice for your next getaway!

We had a wonderful stay in Sandusky. The property was very clean and the pictures were accurate portrayals of the property. The host Jenni was very responsive and accommodating. We would definitely stay there again!
We came up for a volleyball tournament and it was just the perfect fit for our coaches! Jenni was an amazing host and we look forward to staying here again in the future!

We appreciate your kind feedback and are thrilled that you had such a positive experience. Providing our guests with a clean, comfortable, and enjoyable stay is always our goal. We hope to welcome you back in the future!
The house was everything we had hoped for and needed. There was enough room for all 4 generations of our family to do things together. It was very clean when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked-had all we needed to cook and bake. The icemaker was well used. The hot tub was used daily-sometimes twice a day. The host was very attentive-no matter the issue/question, she responded very promptly. We would definitely recommend this house to friends.
Our host was/is awesome. House was clean, comfortable and perfect for our group of coaches. We will always consider Jenni’s house for our future trips to the area.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to know you enjoyed your stay and appreciate you taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. It was a pleasure hosting you!
This was an amazing property. We loved where it was located, the cleanliness, and the ease of our stay. We loved how close it was to a private beach. Our dogs had a great time. The host made me feel so welcome. Only thing that could make it better is a full/queen size bed downstairs for handicap couples and labels on the light switches. But it honesty was the best stay. We WILL be back!
The neighborhood was so very quiet. The place was beautiful. Would recommend for a family get away.

Thank you Mary! We really appreciate your awesome review of the Lakehouse. This is our most loved property, and we never tire of hearing about the great family memories that are made at the Willow Grove Lakehouse.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time staying here. The house was so clean and perfect for our families to spend some time together. Neighbors are super friendly and help made us feel welcomed. We would highly recommend staying here! Thank you!
I have stayed in many places and this rental was by far the cleanest I have ever stayed in. Jennifer was so helpful! There is everything you need at the property as well, perfect 10!

Thank you so much, Amy. We are a family-owned and operated business, and all 7 of our vacation rentals are managed and cleaned by family members. We strive to make every property feel comfy and clean for all of our guests. Thank you for staying at the Lakehouse; we are so glad you loved it!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We had everything we needed, it was a nice short walk to the private beach, close to Cedar Point, and it was great to have our doggies with us. Jenni was very easy to contact and answered any questions we had very quickly.

Thank you so much, Laura! You guys were a breeze to host. :-) Please come back and see us again.
We fully enjoyed the property. Jennifer was quick to respond prior to and during our stay to answer all of our questions. She provided us with lots of great recommendations on places to eat, things to do, etc. The property is conveniently located to the baseball Sportsplex in Sandusky, which is what brought us to OH. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer
Hi, I’m Jenni!
I’m a local vacation rental owner who loves sharing the Lake Erie area with guests. I take a lot of pride in providing clean, comfortable, well-maintained homes where families and friends can relax and enjoy their time together.
I know the little things can make a big difference, so I pay close attention to the details—from comfortable, high-quality linens and well-equipped kitchens to making sure each home is clean and ready for your arrival.
I love the Huron area and everything it has to offer, from the beautiful Lake Erie shoreline and beaches to Cedar Point, boating, fishing, and all of the attractions around the Lake Erie Shores & Islands.
My goal is simple: I want you to have a great vacation and feel comfortable in my home while you're here. I’m available when you need me and happy to share local recommendations to help you make the most of your stay.
I look forward to hosting you!
Why they chose this property
The Willow Grove Neighborhood Willow Grove is one of Huron's charming, established lakeside neighborhoods, where guests can experience the relaxed atmosphere of a classic Lake Erie community. The neighborhood has a peaceful, residential feel with quiet streets, mature surroundings, and easy access to the lake and beach. One of the things guests love about Willow Grove is that it feels like a real neighborhood rather than a busy tourist area. It's a wonderful place to slow down, take an evening walk, let the kids ride their bikes, or simply enjoy the fresh Lake Erie air. The neighborhood's lakeside setting and close-knit atmosphere are part of what makes it popular with both vacationers and homeowners. The location also gives guests the best of both worlds: a quiet place to come home to after a busy day, while still being close to everything Huron and the surrounding area have to offer. Huron itself is known for its beaches, boating, fishing, parks, waterfront recreation, and small-town atmosphere. For families, the neighborhood is particularly appealing. Kids can enjoy the lake, beach, lagoon, and outdoor activities, while adults can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. And when you're ready for more excitement, Cedar Point and the many attractions of the Lake Erie Shores & Islands area are just a short drive away. It's the kind of neighborhood where you can spend the day having fun and come back in the evening to enjoy the quieter side of Lake Erie. This is NOT a vacation rental-ridden neighborhood. In fact, I don't know of any others nearby.
What makes this property unique
Private sandy beach — Guests can enjoy a true Lake Erie beach experience rather than simply being “near the lake.” Only 200 yards from Lake Erie — Close enough to easily walk back and forth between the house and the lake. 7.6 miles from Cedar Point — An excellent location for families who want a beach vacation and Cedar Point in the same trip. Hot tub on the deck — A great way to relax after a day at the beach or amusement park. 4 bedrooms, including a first-floor bedroom — The first-floor bedroom is particularly valuable for grandparents, older guests, or anyone who doesn't want to climb a full flight of stairs. 50-foot driveway — Unusually convenient for guests bringing a boat, with plenty of additional parking. Lagoon just down the street — A unique family-friendly feature where kids can skip rocks, feed ducks, or kayak. Quiet lakeside neighborhood — Guests get the atmosphere of a peaceful Huron residential community rather than staying in a crowded tourist area. High-quality linens — A small detail, but one that noticeably improves the guest experience. Updated, exceptionally clean interior — Guests get the charm and location of a Lake Erie cottage without sacrificing comfort. Great indoor/outdoor setup — Beach during the day, BBQ and hot tub in the evening, with comfortable spaces inside afterward. Convenient to everything — Cedar Point, Lake Erie beaches, Huron, Sandusky, restaurants, boating and the Lake Erie Islands are all within easy reach. The Pied Piper, Huron's famous ice cream stand is just a short drive away. Route 2 and the Ohio Turnpike are very close by.
