The Lakefront Beach House is a special property that breathes the history of the original 1940's lake cottage architecture but updated with an open floorplan and modern coastal vibe. For the 2024 season we did major updates to the property including adding new craftsman shaker ceilings, built-ins, tile shower, amazing new windows in the sunroom, appliances, furnishings, décor, and bedding which blend into the original character of the home while producing a feeling of luxury and relaxation. If you are looking for a unique property that will surely trigger nostalgic memories of being a child … you found it!

Enjoy the convenience of watching the kids from the patio while they play at the park and beach literally 25 feet away from the house and firepit evening sunsets with Cedar Point in a distance and the silhouette of the pier. Sunrises are enjoyed with a cup of coffee from the sea wall. You will love having meals in the sunroom and on the patio with awesome views of boats passing by on Lake Erie. When the wind is out of the northeast you'll experience Pacific ocean like waves crash across the pier and beach.

This is a fisherman's dreamhouse as you cast your line just feet from the home.

House was lovely with the colors you hope to find (blues, greens, and in-betweens) at lakeside homes. The vintage wooden floors and cottage windows in much of the house are a big plus. The house was very clean and so it was easy to keep clean during our stay. Great having a front-row seat to the lake. On a very windy day, Lake Erie put on quite a spectacular show against the rocks, notably at sunrise.My less than 5 stars on check-in is related to a non-functioning key box, which I understand was subsequently replaced, so should no longer be an issue.

Clean rooms, comfortable beds. 2nd bath is down 5 steps turn then down one more for those with mobility issues. Other bath is on same floor with all bedrooms. Beautiful views mostly enjoyed from inside porch since we did hit sandfly time (they do not bite, and blow away with any wind). Couldn't find a better location. After Labor day so few beach goers. Did enjoy launching my paddleboard from beach.

Very happy. Cozy home. Stayed at many B&Bs in the area but this one has them all beat! Great utilization of space -updates are perfect while still appreciating the old wood and floors within the house, abundance of linen and towels that were a great quality. The air conditioner and fireplace worked exceptionally well. Plenty of hot and cold running water. Had so much fun on the beach just outside the door. The sunroom was one of our favorite rooms to enjoy the view. Host Ryan stopped by and introduced himself. Well-versed in the area and history. September is a great time to come! Will we plan to return again next year with additional family members. House easily sleeps 10.

For 28 years we have gone to the outer banks in NC and this week at Rye Beach front was our favorite vacation. There was so much to do within 15 - 30 min, convenient to stores for supplies, and relaxing. The house had everything we needed and generously supplied things that we weren't expecting. Our host was easy to reach during the whole process and went out of their way to assist when we were having trouble with our bank card making a payment early on. It was on our end of the payment and they were very patient until we got it sorted out. The littles loved the little beach and the playground right next door and watching the wildlife was great! Would definitely recommend this vrbo!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Doherty

Host profile image
This property has been owned by my family since 1999. As Dave (Dad) retired from his 20+ years of building 5 lake homes at Rye Beach Park his daughter, Stephanie, took over the operations of the properties in January of 2021 and did a full makeover of the Rye Beachfront home. Note that this property is one of three lakefront properties in a row that are owned with the Rye Beach Lakehouse being the second property available for rent. Got a large group of 30+ people? Rent both properties and bring your family together on the Lake Erie waterfront!

Why they chose this property

Beachfront property with amazing lakefront views with the beach, park, and pier right outside your doorstep.

What makes this property unique

You just can't find a property like this so close to Cedar Point and other points of interest in the area on the beach, next to a park, and with lakefront views. It's one of a kind.
