What a great little cottage right on the water at Lake Erie. The owners are wonderful! They have a dock for your boat if needed. The place is so convenient to everything and a great location. The cottage was clean and had what we needed. I would highly recommend this place, you will leave relaxed!

This cottage is wonderful. It is immaculately clean and well maintained. We have returned to Avalon on the Bay for 2 years and are always happy here. The kitchen is well appointed, the AC cools the whole house and the views are stunning. The surrounding area is very quiet and the swim area is clean. Cedar Point amusement park is a quick 30 minute drive. If Marblehead is your destination, then Avalon on the Bay is your home away from home.

This cottage was clean, well-equipped, comfortable, and in a beautiful setting. Our host was cordial, responsive, and we found everything to be as represented. We will stay there again!

What a cute place with a beautiful location! My family and I had a wonderful time. Very quiet with nice views of the water. The kids were able to enjoy some beach time on the small beach right outside the cottage. Everything was very clean and secure. The owners are a joy. Highly recommend.

Hi Mr. Stevens. I wanted to thank you and your wife, Diana, once again for the great week at the cottage. I would absolutely love to come back again next year. That was honestly one of the most enjoyable vacation trips I have ever had. 

 

Thank you again. Ryan

Avalon on the Bay with 6 teenagers and it was perfect!  The cottage is even nicer than the pictures show - they don't do it justice.  Everything was clean and very nice.  Jim and Diana were available if we needed anything (which we didn't).  It was very private, even being a holiday week.  We all enjoyed the beach/lake and then relaxing in the cottage in the evening.  It was such a nice break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.  We hope to stay again some time.  Highly recommend it!

You can trust the good reviews!

When I see so many glowing reviews that mention the same features, I get a little skeptical. Well, my family really did stay there, so I can honestly say the other reviews are absolutely spot-on.

The cottage was clean and bright, with a great view and many recent upgrades such as windows, floors, kitchen cabinets and counters. There is a large great room with the TV, kitchen, and table, two large bedrooms, bath, and enclosed front porch. The bathroom has a pedestal sink and stand-alone shower that is a reasonable size, all very clean. Not mentioned in the description, there were also nice pillows and bed spreads on all the beds, clean looking mattress pads, and TP, bath mats, paper towels, dish soap and foil wrap (though these may have been left by previous guests).

The owners met us when we arrived and were very friendly. It was easy to contact them, but the rest of the time, the cottage felt like our home. The area is quiet and even the few boats coming into the small inlet were nearly silent. No loud parties!

I would not hesitate to rent this cottage again. It was a wonderful vacation for my family.

relaxing, enjoyable, fun, lots of fishing

 

★★★★★  5 of 5

We had a wonderful experience staying at Avalon on the Bay. Fishing 5 feet from the entrance to the house. Caught fish on almost every cast. The view from the enclosed porch is breath taking. Seeing the sun set across Lake Erie was a beut. If your looking for a quite relaxing vacation this is the place to be. Close to Cedar Point, Put In Bay, Kelly Island, Light House, an many more attractions I highly recommend you see. The owners where there to greet us and contacted us daily to make sure we were enjoying ourselves

Very easy stay

★★★★★  5 of 5

This was such an easy vacation. My husband and daughter could walk out the front door and fish. We saw lots of wild life. It's close enough to Sandusky for food and entertainment but far away enough for those quite lake evenings.

Great Place to Stay

★★★★★  5 of 5

This was a wonderful location to stay and take an advantage of all this area has to offer. Rental was very clean and owners were very accommodating. The view of the Bay and fireworks at Cedar Point every night were amazing. The location was perfect that it was enough off the beaten path to have peace and quiet but close enough to all the destinations that make this area so wonderful. It recommend to families like ours who want to get away and enjoy Lake Erie and Islands.

Wonderful in every way!

***** 5 of 5

My family rented this cottage for a week. It was very clean and comfortable. My children enjoyed swimming at the Sandy beach daily, and made fast friends with the owners grandkids. You can fish off the jetty, and relax by the water, or go into town and enjoy the fun shops and excursions. The views are amazing, and the peaceful sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking. The owners, Jim and Diana are wonderful and were the best hosts ever! This truely felt like a home away from home. We loved it and can't wait to return.

The PERFECT spot on the Water to Rent

***** 5 of 5

We were looking for a one week rental "On the Water", and found this place, that was perfect. Pictures on site are ONLY THE BEGINNING. Great spot, Great cottage, perfect for summer relaxation. EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN. Knotty Pine inside. EVERYTHING you need. 3 of us. Caught many fish right off dock. Fireworks every night at 10pm from Cedar Point that you can see. Really Really Nice people. Jim and Diane are wonderful hosts. Has an A/C unit that works fine when needed. Usually open windows works well with the lake breeze. Beds comfortable, great for entertaining friends for the day. Price is very reasonable indeed. Recommend to anyone. A++++

Great place!

***** 5 of 5

We love this place. Plenty of room to stash all of our gear, exceptionally clean, bright and airy. Lots of windows to let the breeze in, beautiful views, always something to watch, whether it's boats or nature. Lots of birds, e spotted a bald eagle a couple of times, and saw an owl a couple of evenings. Great place to look at the stars at night. And the fishing is great right off the jetty. Jim and Diana are so nice, willing to answer all our questions, and the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. We hope to return again soon!
