Huron Lake House Getaway at Old Homestead Beach = Beach & Chill

Newly decorated, painted and furnished, this home has it all AND it is located just minutes to Cedar Point, Kalahari, Great Wolf Lodge, Vermilion, Thunderbird Hills & Sawmill Creek Golf Courses, Put-In-Bay, Kelly's Island, Cedar Point Sports Center, and the Wineries at Marblehead.
When you are not out exploring the amazing sites & activities Huron and our neighboring Lake Erie towns have to offer, you can spend your days relaxing on the private beach that you will have access to when renting our home. We have provided all the amenities one should need (beach towels, sand toys, floats, etc.) and a cute red-wagon for you to take it all to the beach at one time. Hassle-free, that is exactly how your beach vacation should be. For a little fun on the water, we have kayaks and life jackets for you to give a try.
In the evenings, enjoy a very large fenced in back yard complete with a grill, firepit, plenty of outside games & outdoor seating. You could play a game of tennis at the nearby courts or shoot some hoops (2 min. walk), or perhaps hop on one of our bikes and take a tour around the neighborhood. In our all season room you will find an arcade machine featuring Mrs. Pac Man & Galaxia, ping pong table, foosball table, cards, and several family style board games/puzzles. We have something for everyone!
Summer, Fall, Winter or Spring - no matter the season, day or night, there are amazing sunrise & sunset views over the lake, trails to hike along the Huron River, excellent fishing opportunities, all of the water sport activities you could ever want, beautiful sandy beaches, some of the best food (& fish) in Ohio, championship golf courses and of course the islands, wineries & wine tours just to name some of our favorite things to do. Ice skating, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and snow-shoeing are a must in the winter months!

Perfect for our Cedar Point vacation!
We really enjoyed staying here! It was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for our stay! It was close enough to Cedar Point that we would come back for snacks or lunch and go back to the park. We tried the cutest ice cream/snack/lunch place called the Pied Piper, it was wonderful! Sherry was a wonderful host and gave great recommendations. The backyard firepit provided a great end of day relaxation area. The Ambiance was amazing! We will be back for sure!!!!!

So relaxing
We had an incredibly relaxing time. The beach was our favorite and we opted to go there more than our original plans to go to Cedar Point all four days. The game room was loved by all. We will def be back.

Great House!
My Family of 5 enjoyed this house for 5 days. We have 3 older boys from 16-21 and we had so many fun activities to do and didn't even do everything. I use VRBO reviews to help me select where to go so I am going to share why I think is important for others to pick this great house. This house must be newer to VRBO, and the host made it perfect for all their guests. We agree with others that talked about the games, food locations to visit and the beach, they are all wonderful and perfect. I want to also share that the kitchen has almost everything. Whatever we needed to use in the kitchen was there, even a crockpot. It was not listed, but the host responded back quickly to my question to advise that the kitchen did have one available for us to use. What I want to share about the kitchen is it does not have items like foil, saran wrap, zip lock bags and other things like that. Also, no paper plates, napkins, disposable items like that. Sometimes previous renters will leave some items like that behind and we bring additional items to incorporate together. It is not a big deal and not a deal breaker, just something to know when you plan your stay. I didn’t know so I brought some basics, and everything worked out great for our snacks and meals. The host has an information book at the house with a list of great places to see, visit, and eat at. I had a couple inquiries before I arrived and sent a message. The host responded with recommendations, so if you have question

Perfect & Cozy
This house was absolutely amazing. From the check in process and the responsiveness of the host, we couldn’t have asked for better. The house itself was spacious and had so many added extra. Plenty of games in the game room, several items that were available to take to the beach, a s’mores bar, coffee and syrups, to just name a few. The host really put in the extra effort to make sure every little detail was covered. I would 100% stay in this house again and recommend to anyone coming to the area. The only reason I gave cleanliness 4 stars was because there was a horrible smell coming from under the sink that smelled like mold/mildew. Other than that, it was perfect!!

Great house, perfect location
The house was perfect for our well long stay in Huron. The highlights include the location, which was walking distance to the beach, stores and restaurants. The game room kept the kids busy and there outdoor patio was perfect for a cookout and entertaining. Plus, the bikes and cornhole in the garage was great!

We stayed here for three nights while visiting Cedar Point and Put In Bay. The property was immaculate and had everything we needed plus more than expected. It was very comfortable and a nice stroll to the beach and beach bar/restaurant. We would absolutely stay again if ever in the area!

This house was beautiful. My kids loved all the outdoor space and game room. It was so much more spacious than I expected. The private beach was the perfect, and only a short walk down the street.

It Has Everything!
We did a family trip to Cedar Point and stayed here for 4 nights. This place was excellent and really felt like it had everything needed. We had a down day and took advantage of all the games plus the private beach access. The smores station was also a great little surprise we enjoyed one night. I also highly recommend Angry Bull steak house. Excellent food and really well prices but they get busy so call ahead.

Perfect Family Getaway
We were in town for a basketball tournament and decided to extend our stay and I’m so glad we did! This was the perfect space for our family of 4! The house itself is impeccable and had everything needed for our family. It was chilly and I was nervous about entertaining my boys (12 and 9) but they loved all of the games—especially Ping Pong and Ms Pac Man! They also enjoyed the yummy snack basket that was graciously provided by the host. The location is so convenient! We walked to the beach and explored the area. We had breakfast at Berardis (A MUST) and dinner at Marconi’s. Thank you for a fantastic stay! We cant wait to return this summer when the weather is warmer to explore the beach and head to Cedar Point!

Amazing stay in Old Homestead neighborhood!
This home made for a great weekend stay for our family! I grew up coming to Huron and the Old Homestead neighborhood specifically as family had a house there. The house itself is tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable. It appears to have been freshly painted and furnished, it even smelled like a new home! The kitchen had everything our family needed. If you don’t want to cook, the home is within a mile to some awesome places. Some of our favorites are The Sandbar, Marconi’s, Berardis (a must for breakfast!) and ice cream at The Pied Piper. You simply cannot beat the Old Homestead neighborhood. There’s a park within a block just for residents and guests as well as one of the widest private beaches in this area of Ohio. We can’t wait to come back in the summer to fully enjoy these amenities! (A little cold in February for swimming :)) Thank you for the great weekend stay- we will be back!
