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.

The cottage was perfect for our long fall weekend! It was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The view is absolutely unbelievable, and watching the sunrise each morning was such a treat. Our host, Rich, was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Truly a 5-star host and experience — we can’t wait to come back!

Our weekend with friends was perfect at the cottage. Everything we needed in the kitchen to cook meals. Sitting outside by the gas fireplace, and watching football inside. The only downside, the furniture (couch) is not comfortable what’s so ever. Everything else is on point! Definitely would return for a weekend getaway.

We had a great time on Estral Beach. Richard was very communicative and supplied everything needed. Home was great with a large deck right on the water, with a firepit and grill and comfy chairs. And there was a garage/man cave filled with TV, ping pong table, foosball, etc. and exercise equipment. Overall we had a great time and would recommend Richard's home to anyone.

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!!

Starlings inhabit this house on the property next door.  They’re very chatty in the early evenings!

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.
