perfect location

a couple of things need repaired: the window and screen on lower front door kept falling out, from the first time we opened it. Great that all of the towels are provided, as well as a fully stocked kitchen. The house has lots of room, 3 bathrooms, lots of places for our family of 10 to go to. great location. front porch is great, but fire table did not work,

Very Accommodating

This house was perfect for our trip. We had 6 adults and 4 children and the house gave use plenty of room and sleeping options. Ruthann was more than helpful and got back VERY quick with any questions i had. The only downside is the parking, as it is limited but we made it work. Would recommend this house to any friend and if we are ever in the area again will definitely have this one on the top of my list.

Graduation Celebration

I have stayed at several properties in the past and this was one of my favorites. The house was well stocked and offered a lot of extras. I loved the front porch overlooking the lake. The neighbors were friendly and the location was perfect. We were very close to Cedar Point and many other restaurants and activities. The owners were very responsive and checked in to make sure we had everything that we needed.

Cute Beach House

Overall, a nice stay. Great location, nice porch and cute house. Was a little tight for 8 adults. The bunk beds were only rated for 150lbs, so we didnt feel comfortable using them. The queen bed in the loft was a broken air matress and not the most comfortable, but fine. Was nice to be so close to the park, with the water view. Would stay again, but with fewer than 8 adults.

Home with character

We really liked the house and its many features. It was so unique! The location was great. The whole family enjoyed the basketball court across the street and the park. They were a big hit! The only problem was the porch roof. We were there when there was a tornado warning and it really rained like crazy. We wanted to sot out on the porch but the roof leaked everywhere! I tried to dry the cushions but they were drenched. We barely sat on or used the porch. Otherwise we had a good time. Thank you for allowing us to use it.

Lakeview

This was our second year at this property. We like the house and the community. The front porch is wonderful. The park is right across the street. The small beach is great for the kids. The house is as described and met all our needs. There is easy access to all the activities in the area.

Wonderful vacation

It was very relaxing. The house was nice except the front porch leaking when it rained and you couldn't sit outside plus the patio leaked and couldn't grill out if it was raining. there was plenty of room for the living space. Would go back again. Very close to a lot of things to do.

Review

We really enjoyed our stay here! The house was clean and well stocked. Plenty of kitchen stuff, towels, blankets, and beach toys. The park here has seen better days, but the kids still liked it. The beach right here is pretty underwhelming and we didn't even bother taking the kids here. We tried Lake Front beach in town and it was fine. Nickel Plate beach was fantastic though - definitely go there if you're wanting a beach day. Really quick drive to Cedar Point.

great vacation!

Quiet, safe neighborhood. Park/fishing/sand/swimming right across the street. Excellent location if you want to sit and relax while children play. Also about 15 minutes from Cedar point, Great Wolf Lodge, many restaurants....House had a lot of room for our family of 9, lots of places for individuals to spread out and chill. Hope to return next year.

Perfect peacefulness

We love the house, it has perfect view, it was cozy and enough to keep the 18 year kids occupied! I would only suggest figuring out how to keep the porch from leaking if it rains. We love a good rain and would have loved to sit on porch to watch it , but it was leaking everywhere. Even with that I would stay here again. Thanks for sharing your home

Shores house stay 5/31-6/4

We had an amazing time at the Shores House! It was well stocked with all you could need! It was spacious and comfortable for my family of 12! We were going to Cedar Point it was only 10 minutes from the cottage! We loved the grassy area in front of the house and played wiffle ball there each day of our stay! The lake view is amazing especially at sunrise! Kristi was quick to help with any questions we had. The only downside we had was the small fungus gnats that happened to be swarming during our visits so be mindful that they swarm certain times of the year.

Awesome!

We had THE BEST time on this trip! There were 12 of us, 4 single parents with 8 kids combined. From the porch we could watch the kids do whatever they wanted to do. Basketball, frisbee, park, fishing. There were plenty of bikes and we brought some scooters, they were never bored. The house was spacious, we never felt crowded. We were also close to lots of cool stuff, the Jackson street pier, go carts, and Kalahari. We can’t wait to do this again and would highly recommend!

4-Gen Family Getaway!

This is a wonderful home for a family getaway. Each morning provides a beautiful lake vista. Only minutes away from Cedar Point for the big kids and local attractions and restaurants (like LEMmys with the best walleye ever) for the rest. Great layout for family time. And the front porch fire pit was a great place to enjoy s’mores! Yum. We appreciate the quick responses from the owners every time we had a question. Thanks for the hospitality!

Vacation rental

The house was nice, but not as depicted in the pictures at all. And the neighborhood is awful. Especially to drive through. The houses are super close and there is a park in front between the house and the water. Not as depicted at all. That's was disappointing. Otherwise it was nice.

Awesome Family Visit

Last weekend we drove to Northern Ohio to celebrate my husband’s aunts 90th birthday. There was a big party on Saturday in Amherst and he and his two siblings along with all of us in-laws rented Kristi’s fun home. There was plenty of room for us all in the variety of sleeping options. We spent the weekend outside of the birthday celebration visiting and watching ball games and touring around the area. The house is in close proximity to so many special places on the water. I believe the part that we love the most was sitting on the front porch with the party lights on along with the fire table visiting and laughing and telling stories. We bundled up in sweatshirts and blankets and it was so much fun. Kristi was great responding to any questions that we had along the way. Thank you for facilitating an Awesome Family Visit.

Rye Beach vacation

Spacious home with two living areas provided plenty of room for two families to spread out. The 4th bedroom newly added was my favorite for it's comfortable bed. The masters queen size adjustable didn't suit me with my back issues. Nonetheless I would definitely stay here again. The rye Beach area was peaceful with the lake a short walk away, yet viewable from the upper porch. Nights on the front ground floor porch were a great place for the whole family to gather and the dining room seated the 7 of us easily.
