Hemingway House Near Cedar Point & The Beach

Clean, but misc items (lights) didn’t work. Overall it fit our needs and was fine. Limited outdoor space.

Clean and everything we needed. We could walk to the Dinut store and the drive to Cedar Point was swift. One of our vehicles was a large pickup, making turning from the parking area into the street a challenge, but not impossible. The property served us week for our quick weekend.

Location to Cedar Point and parks was great! It allowed us to take break and then return to Cedar Point without a lot of traveling. Although having parks near by was a huge plus for kids and pets, the yard almost didn't exist and was very small and the back "patio" was almost on the street. No place for dogs or kids to play. The home was super dusty and the washer (front load) had mold and wasn't discovered until we were trying to wash bath towels. The cleaners need to do a better job. For kids who need to run and play, you have to go to a park (same for dogs). If you have a big dog, this place is not for you. For anyone just wanting a place to sleep and eat, it's ok. If you want enjoy family outdoors, you will have to go to a park.

I was shocked pulling up to the property to see the neighborhood is so trashy. Its on par with a trailer park. Houses are run down, old signage from lost elections is up on a gazebo thats falling apart and its you see first thing turning onto the street. Jarring BUT the inside of the house is as pictured so no surprises there. Communication was non-existent on vrbo, i resorted to messaging the host on Abnb & they responded immediately when i never heard back from them on vrbo. It weirds me out they tell us not to strip the beds and put the sheets in the washer?? The oven is old but they fixed the door issue another guest had. I also didnt see any dog hair so that was nice. Overall, the house is nice on the inside, plenty of parking & when i called the host he answered.

We stayed 1 night for a wedding and wish we could have stayed longer. We enjoyed the outdooe fire table.

This property was as listed and perfect for our family of 10. The kitchen was well equipped and clean. We love the outdoors and the patio was great both to eat on and to relax at the end of the day. The neighbor was friendly and nice to talk to. We were close to many fun things to do and were able to enjoy a nice quiet setting. The private park was a nice addition for a short walk and beautiful sunsets.

Charming lake adjacent cottage in a sleepy beach community. Kids had fun at the nearby park and beach (which at this time of year was overrun with many bugs!). House comfortably fit the family. Wish there had been a little more yard…

The house worked out perfectly for our family. The decor was cute, furniture sturdy, beds comfortable. The house is smaller, and the driveway snug but it works. The neighbor is fine, park cute but beach very small so we beached elsewhere. Convenient to area activities. We'd definitely rent again.

Location not quite what I expected. Remodel was ok but could use a little improvement. Very sparse on kitchen supplies and weren’t very organized. 2 bedrooms upstairs have no closets😩. But overall experience was good and served our purpose for the week we stayed

We had a beautiful stay in this lovely 4 bedroom home and the host, Jimmy, was accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had. The full size refrigerator with ice and filtered water was so helpful and although we didn’t have time to utilize the patio and grill, it looked lovely. The large dining room table made a perfect “command center” for our family, in addition to being a beautiful place to enjoy a meal. The off street parking is actually a drive through spot, so that was really convenient. Plenty of water pressure and hot water for our showers, lots of little extras (Kuerig coffee maker and coffee pods, shampoo, paper plates, etc) and very clean. Our absolute favorite hidden “gem” about the property is that it is 8 miles from Cedar Point AND there is a “resident area” entrance to the parking lot that allowed us to skip past the line to the parking toll booths and to leave the park! ( take Hwy 6 and turn off onto Cedar point road going in, reverse going out) We had 3 cars in front of us on one day only, out of five, and the other days we were able to get into the parking area without anyone in front of us! And when you leave, it is so quick with just 7-10 cars instead of the rest of the parking lot trying to get out! We enjoyed our time here and plan to use this lovely home again on our next Cedar Point get away! Thanks Jimmy! :)

Very pretty and clean home. Beware of the one way streets which are pretty small for any oversized vehicle. Only real complaint is the window in the upstairs shower.

Fully furnished and really nice eye for detail decorating with the history of the Huron area. Easy to find location, quiet and clean. Snow storm hit during our stay but we were warm and comfortable. Beautiful location for the summer months!

We loved the house! The sleep spaces were perfect. We did find an old shirt in a corner of the downstairs bedroom and quite a bit of dust on the TV stand. We could tell it was dusted, except for under the legs of the TV where it was very visible. The oven also needs cleaning. There are two safety issues we need to mention. The dishwasher is not secured at the top, so when you pull out the tray with dishes, the dishwasher tips forward. Also, when we opened the stove door, the handle came off and the panel over the door dropped to the floor. We had to pull the oven door open by pulling on the screws at the top. I held the door down so it would not spring closed while my brother-in-law and nephew used a small screwdriver to put back the panel and handle. However, it may still need adjusting to be safe for future guests.

Pillow case dirty. Don’t know if linens were changed. Blanket in basket smelled like dogs. Fruit flies in the house. Smoke detector hanging from kitchen ceiling. Location was perfect for our event.

The house was just as advertised! Clean and well appointed!

Location was great. Great communication with owner. But the place needs a deep clean. Toilets had pee around the bottom. Floors were so gross, we had to clean them after we were there about 30-45min because our feet were black. Walls in upper bathroon need cleaned. Everything needs dusted including vents. If this place gets a new cleaner, we would stay again. If not, its a no go for us. The owner did give us a 100 refund for having to clean on our vacation.

House was clean, nicely decorated and well appointed with necessities. We enjoyed our getaway

The property was as pictured and a great size for our family. It was not as clean as we had expected. It was far from sanitized as described in the ad. It needs a good cleaning from top to bottom. One suggestion our family would give is to mount the tv in the livingroom on the wall for safety sake with a 4 year old and a one year old toddler it was a concern. Loved the location and neighborhood.

Had a great time, liked the layout of house, location, and property manager very helpful. Would have liked hotter water at sink and sofa beds were not all that comfortable as bed but other than that, great

We enjoyed our weekend getaway to this house in Huron. We had a birthday party for my 12-year-old and her friends, and this house worked perfectly. My husband and I stayed in the downstairs master, and all of the girls slept upstairs. With 4 beds upstairs, there was enough room for everyone. The house was cleaned well, and we also appreciated all of the seating at the dining room table - perfect for a large group. We were most impressed with how well-stocked the kitchen was. Often, we visit rentals that don't have enough soap or knives or bowls. This kitchen had everything we needed, including multiple cutting boards, a pizza cutter and an ice cream scoop. These may seem like small things, but they made everything easier. The house does seem to have difficulty with heating and cooling. The first floor was very cold. The owner supplied space heaters, but I was thankful we had brought a heated blanket. The cold seems to radiate up from the floors. We also didn't love the area the house was in. Some of the houses were a bit run down, and the neighborhood seems cramped. The rental home and driveway were some of the nicest in the area. Overall, we would recommend this rental and the kind owner who answered all of my questions quickly.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hemingway House. We loved the large table in which we could all enjoy a meal around the table. The house is very dark during the evenings. They need to get more light or different light fixtures.

The kitchen water did not work for two days. Pots and pans are totally unacceptable and plates and glasses are inadequate for the stated capacity. The house was constantly cold, the front door had snow and a constant breeze coming in. There was no local or network TV access on any of the TVs.

The house worked out perfectly for our family. The decor was cute, furniture sturdy, beds comfortable. The house is smaller, and the driveway snug but it works. The neighbor is fine, park cute but beach very small so we beached elsewhere. Convenient to area activities. We'd definitely rent again.

Location not quite what I expected. Remodel was ok but could use a little improvement. Very sparse on kitchen supplies and weren’t very organized. 2 bedrooms upstairs have no closets😩. But overall experience was good and served our purpose for the week we stayed

My family met for a gathering, and there were 9 of us. The home is in a very close neighborhood, which is probably why there is quiet time. The home was very neat with lots of room for our family to eat and play games. The kitchen was good size, but we had to purchase 2 nonstick pans to cook breakfast with due to the pans being pretty worn. All of the beds were used during our stay. All beds upstairs squeak every time you move which kept some awake on and off all night. The room with 2 beds in it is the worst. One bed slants when you lay in it and my brother was rolling towards his son all night. The bed felt like it was going to give out and actually placed pillows under the bed to assist with this. The frame is buckling and looks as though it was not even put together correctly, as it is bent, and this is also on the second bed. There are no box springs on any upstairs beds either which was not supportive as it could have been. My brother and his nephew are both of average size and weight. The thermostat is upstairs, so it gets quite warm on the second level and chilly on the main floor. The home is within 4 miles of Sandusky for lots of shops and food. We visited in December, so we didn't go to any beaches or spend much time outside. Overall, it was a nice location.

House is nice and well for a larger family. Jimmy was a great responder when there was an issue. Rye beach community itself is beautiful located but a couple of empty / worn down places were not so nice.

It was a nice location for friends to gather from all over while in town for a funeral. Lots of rooms, bed, and comfortable place to hang out and chat together. Very clean. Could use more outside lighting, as we arrived late at night, but very nice location and helpful manager.

I was shocked pulling up to the property to see the neighborhood is so trashy. Its on par with a trailer park. Houses are run down, old signage from lost elections is up on a gazebo thats falling apart and its you see first thing turning onto the street. Jarring BUT the inside of the house is as pictured so no surprises there. Communication was non-existent on vrbo, i resorted to messaging the host on Abnb & they responded immediately when i never heard back from them on vrbo. It weirds me out they tell us not to strip the beds and put the sheets in the washer?? The oven is old but they fixed the door issue another guest had. I also didnt see any dog hair so that was nice. Overall, the house is nice on the inside, plenty of parking & when i called the host he answered.

From booking to checking out, everything was super simple! Cute house in walking distance to a private beach. Perfect house for our weekend getaway

Great location and excellent communications by the host.

Jimmy the owner was great at communicating with us. Easy to get into the house and it is decorated really cute! We've stayed in several homes and it was a nice surprise to have coffee pods, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent & cleaning products available! It seems the house needs a little freshening up. Pillows are flat, all the beds upstairs are squeaky & not very comfortable. The skillets in the kitchen need to be replaced. The kitchen has just very basic stuff for cooking. That was fine with us, we ate out most of the time. Didn't see a toaster or blender...things like that. If you don't know the area...which I didn't...the neighborhood has a lot of run down homes in it. Not the owners' fault. But just FYI in case you don't know the area. We didn't feel unsafe though. The air conditioning worked great and plenty of parking in the driveway. Nice home and comfortable, just needs a little attention to detail.

We enjoyed our stay at the property. It worked well for our group of three families with six adults and seven school age kids. Location was convenient for Cedar Point, Nickel Plate Beach, and day trips to Cleveland.

We had a great stay at this property. It was the perfect house to fit our large family. Great location for parks, beach access, and lots of fun adventures. Overall it was a comfortable, enjoyable stay.

We stayed here with our family and 2 pups. It was a short <20 min drive to Cedar Point, which was the purpose of our trip. Our teenagers loved the park/playground being about a block and a half away and we loved the small beach by the lake where you could see Cedar Point. There were a lot of, what we assume mayflies, but that is expected being right near the water and the time of year. It fit us all comfortably without feeling on top of each other and we can’t wait for our next trip that will hopefully be longer next time.

The house worked out perfectly for our family. The decor was cute, furniture sturdy, beds comfortable. The house is smaller, and the driveway snug but it works. The neighbor is fine, park cute but beach very small so we beached elsewhere. Convenient to area activities. We'd definitely rent again.

This house was a great choice for our family because of the space and near by amenities. There is lots to do in a short driving distance and the Rye Beach Park near by was a great place that was near by to get kids energy out.

The property was just what we were looking for. Our family planned a few days in Sandusky to go to cedar point and the beach. The property is located minutes from both. We had a great time and would definitely come back!
