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 was a great space for six adults. Easily parked 3 cars. Clean. Two refrigerators with freezers were nice to have. Kitchen has plenty of plates, cups, glasses. A little light on the silverware (only 4 butter knives). No measuring cups or spoons and only one small sheet pan. Rear decking can be precarious in some spots. Location is ideal for day trips to Put in Bay, and other local attractions; pick up your fresh produce at the Chef's Garden Farm Market. Spend an afternoon at the Mulberry Creek Winery, Herb Farm and greenhouse. Bird watch at the Sheldon Marsh State Nature Preserve. Walk about the paved trails in the beautifully landscaped James H McBride Arboretum. Host responded quickly.

We had a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving! There was more than enough room for our group of 9 people. Steph and Ryan were so kind and helpful when we had questions and even asked a neighbor to come help us out when we has a minor issue with needing to replace some lightbulbs. The house had gorgeous views (sunrise over the lake is not to be missed- even in Nov.!), the cute park was close by, and two full fridges provided ample room- even when we made a Thanksgiving feast! The living room furniture was super comfy and the multi-zoned heat was great for the diverse preferences of our group. Everything felt so convenient and close- even excursions to Cleveland, Cuyahoga National Park, or dinner at Twin Oast. We would definitely stay here again!

My mom has wanted to see the ocean again one more time before she died. She is fragile and can't make the trip by plane or car from Cincinnati without it exhausting her for days. When she stepped outside, she said, "God is so good," and I knew we were in the right place. My mom uses a rollator so I looked for accessible places and couldn't find one on the waterfront that matched our timing. I reached out to the Stephanie and sent me a floorplan and counted out how many steps there were, and I knew we could manage helping her up and down. The photos you see of the waterfront are exactly how close you are. We had waves that splashed up the rocks and felt the mist in strong winds. The weather was amazing, so we enjoyed our time outside a lot. The outdoor couch was comfy for reading and chatting. I appreciated that there was only one TV on each floor, because my mom would have gotten sucked in if there were one in her room. The towels were lush, rooms all had ceiling fans, and the kitchen was well equipped. The coffee/bar spoiled us. My daughter's fiancé told us that he will drag his mom there (who also has mobility issues) because it was so unexpectedly amazing. The pictures don't do it justice.There are lots of places to take walks nearby, like Nickel Plate Beach, Sheldon Marsh Preserve, McBride Arboretum and Rotary Centennial Park. The private beach is more kid focused, so we went there, but didn't spend time there. This was about as perfect as this trip could have been.

Thankful for the reprieve
The gem of this home is the outside patio. The view is absolutely stunning! I also really appreciated the upstairs balcony because it rained a few days and I was still able to sit up there and enjoy the water. The neighborhood is quiet, friendly and walkable. I love the little park nearby and my dogs loved the beach. I’ve been to this little town several times now and will definitely come back. Make sure to dress for all seasons- it got very cold at night and rained a few days so I’m glad I brought rain boots. The kitchen isn’t super large but I just brought pre prepared meals from the butcher shop- I was on vacation after all! Had a small issue and the owners were responsive.

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.
