Best VRBO Ever!!!
We have stayed in a few house rentals and this surpasses all of them!!! James and Rebecca have thought of everything you would need to have a relaxing family trip. The house is not only well equipped with everything you would think of needing, it is also so very cute!!! There are board games, rock painting, outdoor sitting area, grill, beach chairs, a block walk to a small quiet beach, bicycles, quiet neighborhood, all the kitchen items one could need, and so much more. The bunk room is very roomy, the entire house is clean and makes you feel right at home. The house is located in a great location and a short drive to many of the area attractions. I really can not say enough about how much we enjoyed our trip and a large part of that was because of the care that James and Rebecca put into the house and the thoughtfulness they have for their guest. The only negative is that the house was so well equipped for families that I wished my husband and I could have stayed here when our kids were younger, I can only imagine the memories we could have made. That being said, it was great for just the two of us as well.

Vacay 2024 6-12-24 to 6-15-24
This is the first time as an adult with my daughters that we were able to go on vacation. It was their first time at cedar point & riding roller coasters. EVERYTHING was PERFECT. Cleanliness, location & atmosphere exceeded all of our expectations! My 12yr old & I loved painting rocks. My oldest is 18 & very much to my surprise she was not upset at all about no Wi-Fi. In the evenings we walked to the pier to watch the beautiful sunset. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. So thankful to have had this opportunity to make these beautiful memories!

Baseball tournament weekend stay
We found the home to be extremely clean and absolutely charming! Every inch was well thought out & beautifully decorated! Although on the small side, it was sooo nice to come back to after a long day at the ball park. The only concern was a lack of wifi/cable. The owner does have a large supply of dvd’s to watch however. We will be back!

We love staying here. The cottage is exactly as described, with spot-on decor, efficient use of space, and practical amenities indoors and out. The owners are friendly and helpful, even letting us know where the crawl space was during a storm. We are excited to go back a third year.

This VRBO offers a lot of great little touches including corn hole, rock painting, bikes and beach chairs. The cottage inlcuded a lot of notes on what was going on around the area and exactly how to get the best out of your stay. We mostly enjoyed the front porch when we were back from the park. Great place to stay! Also the owners were close by and easy to get ahold of!

Beyond Amazing only want to stay here when we visit again!!!!
AMAZING!!!! The house was so cozy, everything you would need to stay! Sweet neighborhood and neighbors. The home is so clean and neat. Decorated beautifully! Comfortable bed and soft bedding. If you are looking for a family setting with a fire pit, yard games, an amazing covered porch with activities for everyone this is the home you should chose! You will not regret it! 1 block away is the beach, we went every night to watch the sun set. They provided a beach wagon and chairs. We are already planning on returning next year! I can’t thank the owners enough!! And don’t forget to paint a rock on your stay!!! ❤️

Fun in Huron
We had a wonderful stay in Huron! It was perfect for our family of 6. We had lots of fun at Cedar Point the first day. Then we enjoyed the beach the second day. The front porch was so relaxing and all the decorations were lovely. We all enjoyed painting some rocks to leave and our kids loved playing croquet. We will be back!
