GLASS HOUSE 5 BR Private Lake Erie Beach Great for Summer, Fall & Winter

The GLASS HOUSE was designed by an associate of Frank Lloyd Wright (FLW). It is a UNIQUE example of his classic architecture and use of 'core' living space. The Mid-Centruy Modern furniture and the classic design with large picture windows across the front and rear of the Glass House make it a wonderful location for vacationers to enjoy unobstructed views of both Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay. The mahogany wood walls and interior finish with cedar ceilings are exceptional example of FLW's style and simplicity. The front deck provides a panoramic view of the lake for relaxing.

An OPEN living area, kitchen, dining area, and two decks along with two "primary" bedrooms with baths are located on the upper floor. The Lower Level has three bedrooms and kids' family room with a second Smart TV for more versatility in entertainment. One of these bedrooms has a king bed, while the one has two twin beds and a queen, the fifth bedroom has two twin beds. The kids' family room features a small kitchen with dishwasher and refrigerator for entertaining on the brick patio in the back.

Recent improvements include new hardwood flooring on main level, new furniture, bedding, Smart TV. Internet is provided with WiFi in the house.

For your outdoor enjoyment a boccie ball set, a croquet set, 12 outdoor chairs, 3 picnic tables, and 3 umbrellas are available. Beach toys are stored in the shed. The patio furniture allow the full use of the outside rear yard, and there is ample area for children and games. There are also 2 picnic tables at the bay beach.

The view of the water and beach will allow your family to enjoy a unique experience on Lake Erie. Don't forget the islands. You will be limited only by your time and your creativity in enjoying the area.

12 people for Cedar Point stay

We had a great time at the glass house. 12 of us had plenty of space. The inside was very clean and listing accurate. The front and back yards along with front porch were great for playing and sitting to watch the rain. We loved having the option of the bay and the lake. So close to Cedar Point made coming and going to the park and back throughout the day a breeze. Would definitely book again!! Thanks Doug!!

Highly recommend The Glass House!

It exceeded our expectations and Doug from Sandusky Rentals was great to work with. My recommendation is to book early in the year (January) the summer dates fill up quickly. From the Glass House you have wonderful views of Lake Eire and Sandusky Bay. There are beaches on both the Bay and Lake. The furnishing makes it easy for groups to gather and enjoy each other’s company. Wonderful house, another plus Cedar Point is just minutes away! We rented two houses on the Point from Doug and it worked out well for our extended family.

Would love to stay again

Everyone loved staying here, and the house was plenty warm even in the cold weather. There were also plenty of extra blankets for the chronically cold members of the family. Five stars! Hand soap and dishwasher soap was full +++. We used that a lot. We used the iron. The kitchen, bathrooms, and common space were very clean +++. Wi-Fi and tv were a big + for Christmas movies and football. We used the crockpot. Plenty of silverware and dishes for a party of our size. Two refrigerators came in very handy+++. Hope to stay again!

Good, but could be Great

Beautiful location with great views of both Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay. Stayed here because it is close to family. Bay side beach access is nice but the beach area and back patio are not cleaned up and ready for use. Downed branches and grass/weeds in the beach area make it a bit uninviting. It was in a convenient location, held our group of 13 comfortably and we had a great stay.

Cedar Point Stay

We loved staying at the Glass House! There were 5 of us and we had plenty of room. It was very clean. Everything we needed was there. The large open kitchen/living area was very comfortable and conducive to visiting with friends. Also there were plenty of areas indoors and out to hang with friends or have some quiet time on your own. The lake and bay views are incredible!! We will most likely rent it again in the future.

Good House, Great Views

The house was in pretty good shape. All the dishware, bedding, and space you could need. Check-in and check-out was smooth. All appliances and electronics in good working order. Furniture was comfortable and in good condition. If I had to give a criticism about the interior, I would say that there were a couple minor inconveniences like how all of the interior sliding doors locking mechanisms were difficult or impossible to operate, or how many outlets were two prong outlets (missing the grounding portion). Really though, the interior of the house isn't the focus here. The views are amazing. And whomever built the house knew that with it's glass walls. No matter which way you face in the house, you are facing a stunning lake view. The neighborhood is private, so you aren't really concerned about people looking in. There are also many birds visiting the backyard, so you get a completely amazing view of nature. Additionally, the proximity to Cedar Point is great if you are visiting the park and don't want a long drive back after (and I think you get to leave through the secondary exit, avoiding the bulk of the traffic). Loved this place, 10/10 would stay again.

Nice but a couple rough items

nice house. air was very dry inside. we all hate the ridiculously noisy loud ballistic toilet in the lower level. the first aid kit was weak. we needed just one normal bandage, none were to be found. just really tiny or really big ones. one person complained sound carries too well thru the house. the view certainly was very nice. we would perhaps consider staying there again. esp if the lower level toilet got replaced.

It was nice but could use an updated stove, took a long time to bake also sliding doors for some of the bedrooms would not close all the way, but other than that, the house was great and beach location was wonderful. We all enjoyed out stay and hope to stay again sometime.
