Great Lakes Waterfront Cottage Estral Beach

The view of the sun sparkling on the lake stops you in your tracks the second you walk through the door of this newly renovated cottage. Almost every room in the house has a water view (with the exceptions of only the bathrooms and garage)The proximity of the cottage to the lake gives you the feel you are on a cruise ship. Spend your day on the water, on the deck outside overlooking the lake, barbecue on the deck, have a fire in the patio gas fireplace at night after it all. For swimming and watercraft, there is a brand new public swimming access right next door where you can also launch your Kayak / paddleboard. Incredible restaurant with bar “Vincent V’s” 100’ from the Cottage with incredible food! Point Mouille state game area down the road with endless nature to explore. There are two beautiful beaches you can paddleboard or kayak over to. One is Newport Beach at the mouth of Swan Creek intersecting Lake Erie, and another around the Southernmost corner of Estral Beach. There is a never ending amount of waterways and nature to explore here. There is also a treadmill, exercise bike (use at your own risk) and game room in the attached garage with a foosball table and table tennis. Everything in the house is new, all appliances, including: washer, dryer, dishwasher, tankless water heater, bathrooms, kitchen, everything! Nothing has been overlooked here. Two full bathrooms with the on demand water heater make all the difference in the world when 5 people need to get ready to go out without having to share one bathroom or wait for a conventional water tank to refill once it is depleted. Make sure you research that out if you are considering another property. That alone could make or break your day.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take advantage of recreation opportunities such as a fitness center, or other amenities including an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Great place to relax and unwind

The property is a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of dally life. Spotlessly clean an well equipped with everything you need. The property is in a quiet neighborhood right on the shore of lake Erie. Watching the sunrise from the deck is pure bliss.

Beautiful views! House was clean, kitchen was functional. The whole place isn’t very big, so I imagine a larger family might feel cooped up, and no yard- the back deck is it. Since the photos were taken, a safety railing was added. It doesn’t block the view, but did make the lake inaccessible except from the public access point immediately next to the property. Didn’t bother me as I didn’t plan to swim. Just up the way is a nuclear power plant that had an alarm test while we were sitting out back. Briefly panicked though it was clear quite quickly that it was just a test. The house was exactly what I was hoping for- a place for my husband and I to hang out while the kid was at a nearby camp. It was quiet, bed was comfy and king size! Would definitely stay here again!!

Relaxing and fun getaway!

We stayed her for a weekend trip and it was great! A lot more affordable than the west side of Michigan and it was so close to everything but also on a little secluded beach so you had your privacy. There were also a lot of games and activities at the house for entertainment. All the basic supplies you need. And it was very close to some nature and national park areas so we got to go do some hiking/walking along the lake. We had a great time and would definitely return.

OMG, the view thru the front door!

We had the best time, listing is spot on. It's the view and the sound of the water....so relaxing. Modern, all amenities. Plenty of TV's if you get the chance to use, you'll be too mesmerized by the outdoor patio! There is a modern rail on the back deck now...so safety is secure to water, a brand new park right next door to experience the water and shells.

Nice Quiet Getaway

We had a great time staying at this lovely lake view home for a couple of days. The area is super quiet, and surrounded by very kind neighbors. The house was lovely, and clean. Beautiful lake views. The host was very responsive, and kind. There is a restaurant right across the street, and the owners were so friendly! This place is secluded, takes about 35 minutes to get to Detroit.

Great View, quiet neighborhood, wonderful beds

Our stay included 2 couples (2 seniors and 2 30-40 yr) for 10 nights. We arrived late in November and stayed through Dec 2nd, 2024. We wanted a place that had a great view of Lake Erie in a quiet neighborhood and that is just what we got. The house was clean and well stocked we slept soundly on the very comfortable beds. The owner was very responsive to our needs and we had no major issues while there. There are several steps at the entrance but the house is one story with no dangerous level changes inside. Plenty of space for two cars in the driveway. When we arrived, the temperatures were not freezing, but, soon after it snowed a little (not enough to cause issues on the roads). By the time we left, smaller lakes and rivers were starting to freeze over. The restaurant across the street had a full bar and our dinners were wonderful although we did much of our cooking at home on the gas range. The wifi was never an issue even with multiple devices running at the same time. All the TVs were "smart", so easy to get access to streaming services. We all agreed that it was a great experience and we would love to come back to the same house in the future.

Girls trip!

My aunts, mother, and I had a spectacular 3 days at this lovely home. We were lucky to have clear skies for the massive full moon, and the sunrise was accented by a glorious display of “smoke on the water.” Rich was a fantastic host; he was responsive and very kind. The beds are comfy, the appliances work well, and view is spectacular!!!! We would like to return!

Perfect lake vacation!

Rich’s place is amazing and the view is soooo beautiful!! It was perfect for a trip with friends having 2 comfy king bedrooms with separate bathrooms. We spent all of our time outside on the deck and loved being able to have a fire when it got chilly at night. Also really appreciated that each room had its own TV :) Would absolutely stay here again in the future!!
