Location Location Location = Cedar Point minutes away + convenient fun + Relaxing Vacation!

The Lakefront Lighthouse @RyeBeach is one-of-a-kind as it was was built to create a lakefront experience with a deck and patio so close to the water you feel like you're sailing on a boat. Enjoy the firepit on the patio while watching watercolor sunset views and a cup of coffee for the sunrise from the lighthouse's upper deck and patio. You will love having meals and hanging out on the first level deck and patio as you watch boats pass by. When the wind is out of the Northeast you'll experience Pacific ocean like waves crash into the sea wall.

This is a fisherman's dreamhouse as you cast your line just feet from the home and if you’re into golf The Saw Mill Creek Course by Tom Fazio is 4 minutes away.

Rye Beach Park is only 150 feet away from the Lighthouse and has 9 playground features for the kids, a basketball court, and tons of room to play frisbee, catch, and wiffleball. The property also offers access to Willow Glen Beach a 5 minute walk through neighborhood. Both of these are private parks and beaches to the neighborhood community.

Great space

We were attending a retreat at Kalahari and needed a space for 12 people and the lighthouse was the perfect place. It’s winter so we didn’t get to enjoy all the outdoor amenities but everything inside was great for our group. We are definitely considering this location again for next years retreat!

Icy Lake Erie is as beautiful in Winter as any other time of the year!

A great time with family for a long weekend of great food, games, and gifts. Views of the lake with eagles flying by against the sunny water were memorable. Our beds were very comfortable- I hated to get out of bed! Looking out the second floor windows seems like you could see Canada! Everything is close by- shopping, beaches and Cedar Point. It was so nice inside though so we never left the cottage. Perfect stay!

Sibling work retreat

This home was a great place for my siblings and I to meet and continue to work on our parent’s estate. We had the use of lots of table space, comfortable bedrooms, sitting areas to view family movies and slides, and multiple views of beautiful Lake Erie’s water, shore birds and freighters. We had a very pleasant stay.

Nice Lake front location

This was a great gathering place for a group of 3 couples. We each had our own bathrooms and comfortable beds with space to gather and play games. Nice quiet residential neighborhood and oceanfront property. The check-in process was easy and the property managers were very responsive and accommodating. Would consider renting here again, if we were in the area.

Great lake house!

We were very impressed with this lake house ! Great location, lots of amenities and items that were already there! Didn’t need anything. Awesome view of the lake. Kids and grandkids loved it especially the air hocking table! Old stone lighthouse was very cool. Owners were very helpful and accommodating.

Many mood of Lake Erie

We had a wonderful family weekend to celebrate my 75th birthday. There was plenty of room for 7 adults and 2 teens/tweens to hang out. Everyone had a bedroom of their choosing and no lines for the bathrooms, as there were 3 in the house. Loved that we could all sit at the same long table to eat our meals, and play games. We enjoyed watching the lake as it changed from day to day and sometimes hour to hour. Thank you for sharing your house.

Waves from Noreaster

Waves from Noreaster were coming over concrete and spilling onto deck. It was very cool and made for a nice experience. House was great. Plenty of bedroom (6) to choose from...equipped for breakfast... no icemaker....cracked open a few trays however that providing ice needed. So wasn't a problem...sadly, two night just weren't enough.
