Om boendet

BEAUTIFUL BEULAH BEACH - underbar strand, UNDERBAR semester Getaway

Härligt hus med tre sovrum i Vermilion Ohio. Alla knotiga tallar, 2 mycket stora första våningen sovrummen, stort vindskupan på övervåningen, stor veranda, underbara kök, vardagsrum, matsal, lekrum och bad. Charmig, mysig och immaculate.

Beläget i Beulah Beach.

Det finns en stor lekplats för barnen, en underbar strand, en helt ny pool, basket domstolar boll, fotbollsplan och en underbar bäck. Det finns också sommarläger för barn i alla åldrar (upp till 17). Så mammor och pappor kan ha en bra semester medan kiddos är med tiden av sitt liv på lägret. (För ytterligare information om sommarlägret programmet gå till www. Beulahbeach. Org)

Så tillbringa en dag på Cedar Point och sedan iväg till Rock N 'Roll Hall of Fame och besöka de många platser i Cleveland (USS Mather, USS Cod ubåten, de många nattklubbar i Flats vid Cuyahoga floden, Science Museum eller fånga en indier spel) (Cleveland är verkligen en stor stad) och komma hem till en natt av att sitta på verandan eller på stranden, eller ta en tur till Vermilion för glass. Kombinationerna och möjligheterna är oändliga.

Vårt hus erbjuder dig dagar av lugn vid stranden, eller poolen eller veranda, med dagsutflykter till Vermilion, Sandusky, Huron, Milano, Norwalk, och Cleveland, liksom Lake Erie öarna. Du kommer att ha en semester att minnas för alltid.

Vårt hus ligger också ca 70 minuter från Cleveland Clinic - och är också en perfekt, fredlig plats för familjemedlemmar eller för patientens fredliga återhämtning.

**** Ett par upplysningar - kom ihåg - det här är ett kristent barn sommarläger. Och det är helt enkelt en underbar plats för barnen. (Jag önskar att jag fortfarande var ett barn bara för att gå till Beulah Beach !!!)
Det dricker aldrig ute, det rökning aldrig, och inga tvådelade baddräkter är tillåtna - oavsett ålder. Om du kan lägga bort din bikini - vi lovar att du kommer att ha en bra tid. ******
Även på stranden begär du att du ger mig en kopia av ditt körkort - skyddar kiddorna och ditt erkännande av Beach Rules.

Peaceful Lovely Stay near Lake Erie

You won't be disappointed with this rental. Our family loves staying at this lovely house. We've been here before and enjoy the renovated spaces, peaceful atmosphere of the house and the neighborhood. Each evening we took a stroll just a short distance to Lake Erie to watch the sunsets. When we're in the area, visiting Cedar Point Amusement Park, this is the house we always choose to stay at. We also enjoy the wonderful ice cream parlors in the local towns: Pied Piper in Huron and K-Cream Parlour in Lorain. Also enjoyed the local town parks. And if you have a rainy day, go to Vermilion and visit their interesting library.

Amazing vacation spot for families!

We had an amazing time at Beulah Beach! The house was perfect, clean, and had a tone of room. There was a family room area and full bath downstairs that were great for our preteen/teen sons to hang out in and play video games. Our daughter prefered the peace of her own room which had a comfortable queen bed. The kitchen and dining room were perfect for cooking in. We had everything we needed and plenty of room. The neighborhood was the picture of peace and quiet! We were able to use the outdoor pool area, the large campfire spots (wood was provided), the playground, and even a pond with large inflatable slides and docks. It was amazing! Literally a kids dream neighborhood. Beulah Beach is a Christian Kids Camp in addition to being having rental properties. The counselors and staff at the camp were amazingly kind and helpful. My kids (3 boys aged 11-13 and my daughter aged 10) were invited to join in on many of the activities the campers were doing in the evenings. Some of these included zip lining and a huge, downhill slip and slide! These activities were a wonderful surprise and something my kids will remember forever. The area is a quick drive to Cedar Point, which was nice after 12 hours in the park. No long and exhausting drive home. It is also close to downtown Vermilion. We went down to the downtown area most evenings for dinner. Excellent choices! We highly recommend this rental and cant wait ro go back!!

A lovely small home in bucolic Beulah Beach near Sandusky, Ohio

Beaulah Beach is a Christian Missionary Alliance summer camp and year-round retreat and conference center off a moderately traveled road that parallels an active train track a mile or so away. There is a small community of lovely private homes on a wooded hillside overlooking Lake Erie as well as 2 large multi-purpose buildings, dormitories and a campground. There are walking paths through the woods and it is a short walk down the street to a small private sandy beach. This home has 3 bedrooms; 2 on the main floor and 1 in a finished upper attic area. The entire home is paneled in beautiful new Knotty Pine with finished original hardwood floors, There is one bathroom with a spacious double sink and 2 showers with rain shower heads. There are 2 large dining areas with big tables and lots of seating. It is obvious the owners have recently invested a lot in renovating and updating this beautiful vacation home. The porch is perfect for relaxing and keeping an eye on the neighbors. The main seating area has 2 comfortable couches and 2 recliners situated in front of a large screen tv and electric fireplace. From Beulah Beach it is a short drive east to Vermilion and west to Huron and Sandusky. Cedar Point Amusement Park is approximately 20 minutes away. We had the best dinner of Sushi and other Asian specialties and a choice of 78 !! craft beers on tap at Small City Taphouse in Sandusky, Czech food at Old Prague in Vermilion, fresh Lake Erie Yellow Perch at the take-out spot Sandusky Fish Company right on the lake and good breakfasts at Lemmy's and Berardi's. Our hosts, The Fenners were welcoming and easy to get in touch with plus they didn't mind that we brought our 2 BullTerriers along. We thank them for hosting us on a great short getaway to the North Coast of the USA.

Our favorite vacation house!

This was our third time renting this house in Beulah Beach. We dream about coming here every summer. The house is gorgeous, clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The recent updates to the basement are nothing short of miraculous. The neighbors are friendly and it's a great place to walk. It's an easy stroll to the playground for a beautiful view of Lake Erie and great sunset pictures. Access to the big swimming pool across the street is always a hit. 15 minutes by car takes you to the adorable town of Vermilion with cute downtown shops and yummy ice cream options (try to be there the 3rd Thursday evenings in the summer). We always love this house and we'll be back again!

Cozy house in the perfect spot

We’ve spent the last few Christmas’s renting this house. It has a big kitchen and lots of amenities to prepare a meal for our family and the in laws. It has a enough bedrooms for the four of us with room to spare. My youngest likes staying upstairs where there’s lots of room. The small community is only a few blocks but big enough for some walks around the neighborhood to the lake and back. Kate is very responsive and very wants to be sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. She’s amazing. We definitely plan to be back next year, assuming it’s still available.

A Place for Quality Family Time

We had a wonderful stay with our adult children- we agree this is one of the most well stocked and comfortable houses we’ve stayed in. Plus, there was so much for us to enjoy right at Beulah Beach! Some of the lovely surprises: being able to walk out unbelievably far in the water at the beach, firepits with good wood by the waterfront which we enjoyed for hours one night, gorgeous sunsets, the cutest whiffle ball field complete with scoreboard and stands that we played an epic family game on, and the beautiful pond/stream area where we used our inflatable canoe. My husband took some incredible pictures of blue herons, kingfishers, and a Least Bittern (a new one for us!) . We also enjoyed a day at Cedar Point, and an afternoon at nearby Vermillion which has a lovely waterfront, cute shops, many restaurants, and lots of live music in the streets on third Thursdays in the summer. Overall, it was a special place for our family to reconnect and spend quality time together- we highly recommend it!

Nice Getaway on Lake Erie

We’ve rented this property for the past few years over Christmas. We’re fortunate to have hosts like Kate and her husband. Their gem of a cottage is just right for us - 2 adults and 2 kids. The community is even better and extremely friendly. Very good for relaxing and enjoying the lake views (a short walk from the cabin). We’ll be back next year!!

Lovely Home

This property was homey and cozy, very clean, well appointed, great kitchen and bath. Hostess left coffee, cream and English muffins which was wonderful. Located in an idyllic neighborhood. Lake very close by with beautiful views. Unfortunately there is a main road (not in neighborhood) 10 feet from the back bedroom and are two train tracks within less than a mile. The noise at night made it challenging to sleep. The first two nights trains were heard every hour. Other nights were not as bad. If noise is not an issue, property may work well for you.

Christmas Vacation

Our stay was excellent. The house is located well for both my and my wife’s family. It’s tucked away in a small community on the lake.” That’s private and very friendly. We were able to walk our dogs around the neighborhood and even let them run around the common area by the lake with my teenage boys. The owners are very accommodating and made sure we feel at home. Looking forward to next year - hopefully same time, same place. Thanks

Memorable...Peaceful...Perfect

What a wonderful retreat! I stayed here for 2 months to escape the Florida heat for a bit and to visit my family and friends. I could not have chosen a better spot. The house is just lovely and the rooms are large. Every amenity I could need was provided and Kate was readily available to answer any questions I had and to take care of any issues, but I had none. Her daughter even cleaned for me a couple of times and not only charged a reasonable fee but did a beautiful job. I cannot rate this lovely home highly enough. And the setting is absolutely amazing and convenient to shopping needs. There are Lots of hidden gems in downtown Vermilion. I really enjoyed eating at Route 6 Pub and shopping in the cute little boutiques. I had ny elderly mother stay with me off and on. During my stay she had a huge health setback and had to be hospitalized. Kate, the owner, made me a wonderful offer should I need to lengthen my stay due to mom’s condition. Fortunately this did not become necessary, but it certainly helped relieve stress. Kate is the absolute BEST (thanks for those welcome muffins, by the way!!). Oh, and the neighbors were so friendly and welcoming as well!! This will be my home away from home whenever I visit Ohio. Thank you so much for this fabulous get away. I’ll never forget it or you!!!

Enjoyable and relaxing

This house is quaint and cozy. The first floor was perfect for my wife, our 17 year old son, myself and our dog and we didnt even have to touch the upstairs bedroom. The 2nd master on the first floor could've used a space heater, but then again, we visited on the coldest day of the year. The house is fully equipped with appliances and appurtencies so you don't have to run into town all the time nor pack a lot of extraneous items. Can't wait to come back during the summer to enjoy all that Vermilion has to offer.

Truly A Home Away From Home

Kate was a wonderful host. The house was perfect for my family. Everyone had their own private space, but the shared space was amazing! There were board games and, the big treat for our family, a piano! (esp during the Christmas Season!) Thank you for some extra special memories there, Kate : ) As we had to prepare multiple recipes for family gatherings we were attending , the kitchen became our favorite area for fun, talking, and work. It had absolutely everything that we could imagine and was spacious enough to easily accommodate everyone. The pictures showed the house features well. We esp loved the beauty and practicality of the wood floors. (My one son has asthma, so this was an important feature to us in addition to the extraordinarily clean and organized environment) The accenting wood features throughout the house added to the the beauty and warmth of the home. We enjoyed being so close to the lake and being able to walk around the area. We can't thank Kate enough for her fantastic hosting and for helping make our Christmas so special, including a most beautul real Christmas picture postcard seen every evening and night out the back kitchen window.
