This stay will spoil all future Airbnb experiences we will ever have.Karen, after a stay at the Crew Quarters
- Karen
This stay will spoil all future Airbnb experiences we will ever have. The Crew's Quarters was as fully stocked as you could imagine. From a choke rescue vacuum ambu bag among the first aid supplies to more coffee options than Starbucks, the absolute thoroughness that Dwight and Kristy have accomplished here is amazing. From blow up floaties to bicycles, bubbles to black light flashlights for nighttime rock hunting on the shore, the outdoor shed had everything.
Inside, there were ample towels and sheets and air conditioners and fans. The bathrooms were clean and very well stocked. There were board games and books, and even a packed beach bag ready to go with towels, bug spray and sunscreen.
And the beach- a short walk down a sidewalk to a glorious, private beachfront. They were fully accommodating of our uncertain arrival time, and even let us extend our stay by a night. Every detail was meticulously planned and thoughtful. Run and book this place!

One of my favorite trips -- EVER
One of the things I am thankful for in my experience with the trip my daughter and I took to the Hibiscus house, is the integrity and truthfulness of the owners. So often, when I search for a property, the total cost ends up being 50% more than what the nightly cost indicates because of a plethora of additional fees. This was not the case with Dwight and Kristy's listing. No hidden fees. I have also experienced pictures that represent best-case scenarios and not the truth of the situation. Also, not the case with Dwight and Kristy's listing. The pictures of the house and the beach were as accurate as I have ever seen. I am also grateful for the interest Dwight and Kristy took in our particular experience. My 13-year-old daughter and I visited Lake Erie specifically to hunt for sea glass. We shared that information, and when we got to the house we found current print-outs and books about sea glass hunting as, well as tools we could use. The house itself was simply perfect. It was completely stocked with anything we could have forgotten (including beach towels in a packed beach bag) and provided filtered water and a choice of coffees. The house was clean, the bed comfortable (we only used the queen so I cannot speak to the bunks), and the front porch perfect for reading and visiting. The beach access is only steps from the house, it is clean, and we will treasure our time both hunting (and successfully finding) sea glass, and watching stunning sunsets on the sandy shores. My daughter and I are already talking about when we can visit again.

Wow! I’ve been to several AirBnBs over the years, and must say that this has been my best experience ever. Dwight and Kristy were so kind right from the start of our communication. They worked with our schedules and ensured we felt a sense of welcome. Kristy met us when we arrived. She showed us around the whole Hibiscus House, and even walked down to the beach with us. She shared with us some of the history, encouraged us to make ourselves at home and made sure to point out small details we may have missed without the tour. Dwight left us a sweet welcome note inside with coupons for ice cream treats and miniature golf, so thoughtful. The queen bed was super comfy, kids loved the space with the bunk beds, and pull out couch. Waking up to the coffee bar was amazing and I didn’t have to worry if I forgot anything. Dwight and Kristy have thought of everything! We loved the sweet neighborhood, amazing sunsets at the beach. We will be back, and soon. What a gem of a place!

We are ruined.....
We are ruined for all other vacation houses/hotels that is. We have been vacationing with our kids for about 25 years now. Not once have we had a better stay or had such thoughtful owers. They think of all the small things you may forgot, lose or heck you didn’t even think of. It’s close to everything we had on our list to do plus everything else we found to do. You will not regret staying here especially with young kids. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. 3 adults, 13 and 2 yo. Thank you Kristi and Dwight!!!
- GlendaCincinnati, Ohio
Dwight and Christy were wonderful hosts. I was looking for someplace to go for my 35th anniversary. And their place seemed perfect. There was a plumbing issue the morning we were to check in and Dwight called and explained that he had to cancel the reservation. He was very apologetic and he even tried to help me find another place to stay. A couple hours later he called to see if I found something else, which I had not. He said that the plumbing issue had been fixed and that if we still wanted to stay there we could. Which we did. On the way there I called Dwight and during our conversation he said he wasn't going to charge us for the weekend due to the stress of the last minute cancelation.
Even without their generosity, we would still give the same review. The unit was immaculate. There isn't any thing you could need that isn't supplied. They met us there and showed us where everything was. The private beach was a 1 minute walk away and the views are beautiful. Great place to stay.
- Susan A.Aug 2023
Amazing. Need More than a 5 Star option
I desperately wish I could leave more than a 5 star rating. The communication from the host was extremely more than acceptable. Even before our trip I communicated a need we would have at a location we stayed. We were the first to ask and they made it happen. Upon arriving at the home they were there to greet us. We got a tour of the home and all of the amenities, which are even considerably more than listed. The description of the property is exactly what we found upon arrival with many added amenities. There is absolutely nothing they did not think of. I strongly encourage anyone who thinks they may want to rent this property to reach out to the owners with any questions or needs. They are incredible to work with. I know we are already discussing when we want to travel back to the area and we will definitely be staying here.
- Ashley
Perfect place for small families or couples. The amenities were great, especially the different options for coffee. The walk-in shower was amazing. That alone makes it better than a hotel in my opinion. Having a washer and dryer on site was seriously helpful. Especially if you forget to bring something.
We were so glad he told us about how close the beach was. You can go to the beach at night and look at the stars. Or even search for special rocks with UV flashlights. The waves and the scenery were perfect for winding down after a long day at Cedar Point. Watching the sunrise on the beach was beautiful as well. I highly suggest doing that as a good way to start your morning.
The hosts were lovely. We will definitely be staying here again in the future and recommend it for anyone who wants a relaxing stay away from home.
- Claudia K.Apr 2022
Outstanding stress free stay
Owner communication was prompt and informative. All our questions were answered very efficiently. The home was extremely clean and exceedingly well appointed. We were greeted with a kind, personal note from the owner and a complimentary bottle of wine from a local winery. We were tickled to see all the coffee and tea selections offered! We chose to grind several flavors of the whole coffee beans to prepare an incredible pour over. We really enjoyed preparing our own meals. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the equipment and utensils we needed. Even a unique cheese board for a charcuterie spread! The bed was extraordinarily comfortable. The thoughtful extra amenities throughout the home, as well as outdoors (for when the weather warms up) were extraordinary!! We enjoyed walking around the small community and appreciating all the different home designs, as well as spent time watching a pair of bald eagles cruise and soar along the shoreline. The winds were not cooperative to afford us a visit to the beach, but we will be back for that! The attention to details to ensure guests are well taken care of at Hibiscus House shows from the moment you walk through the door. We won't hesitate to recommend this cozy property to friends and family traveling to the area. We are looking forward to more visits during different seasons to appreciate everything the property has to offer. Having traveled extensively and almost exclusively using host-rented properties, Hibiscus House is at the top of our list for value, amenities, location and charm.
- Dena
Dwight and Kristy were AMAZING hosts!!! We were welcomed with flexible check in/ check due to host's kindness and seasonal weather. These kind offers took away my stress as I live a 5 hour drive away.
The quaint, friendly and safe neighborhood location was beyond beautiful with a sweet little beach a short walk away. My 4 kids had a blast, even in the rain-looking for shells! The home was stocked for anything you might have forgotten, which helped us greatly. My daughter even commented, "Mom, give the host 5 stars rating as they thought of anything a person might forget!" Honestly, my experience staying here was the best AirBNB experience I have ever had, and I have had many. This home was perfect sized, clean, well stocked, in a beautiful location, with extremely helpful, kind and responsive hosts. I cannot wait to stay here again 🙏... No, really, I am looking forward to it, and I just left.
- Johann G.Jul 2024
Next Level!
Kristy & Dwight take STRs to the next level. When our family arrived at 4am due to flight delays, Dwight was there to welcome us at the property to give us the keys and give us a tour. Then, during our stay, they gave instantaneous responses to any of our questions. Between towels, amenities, Lake toys, and activities, they really did not miss a single detail. We will definitely be returning! Thank you!
- MariaSan Francisco, California
Our family absolutely loved our stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt so grateful this place was available. It was the perfect home away from home for our little family and made our week at the lake so relaxing and memorable.
Dwight and Kristy have truly thought of everything. The house was incredibly well stocked with everything we could possibly need. I’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnbs over the years, and I’ve honestly never been in one that was this thoughtfully equipped. There were plenty of towels, blankets, kitchen essentials, beach gear, and all the little extras that make a vacation feel effortless. The coffee station deserves its own shoutout—it was by far the best Airbnb coffee setup I’ve ever seen, which was especially appreciated since I drink more coffee than I’d like to admit! The bunk beds were surprisingly comfortable, and every space felt clean, cozy, and intentionally designed to make guests feel welcome.
- Lee Y.Mar 2022
Wonderful place to stay.
We make frequent trips to the area, at least 4 a year, to visit family. We usually stay in a motel for budget reasons. When Hibiscus House showed up in our search for a place to stay during our trip in March, and it was well within our budget, and we could hardly belive it... I actually had my daughter go over and take a look... And it was as advertised: A nice little apartment on a quiet street, located a few minutes walk from a very nice beach, where my wife and younger daughter spent some time collecting small shells and sea glass. It was more than perfect for our needs. The bedrooms and livingroom are small, but thoughtfully furnished. We found them to be cozy, and the whole space was much bigger than any motel room we have experienced in the area. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was clean, and like the kitchen, very well stocked with anything you could possibly need. The laundry equipment tucked into the corner of the kitchen appeared new, and very conveinient, as we had occasion to use it a few times. Overall, we found the place to be very clean and comfortable. The hosts were friendly and very responsive, offering suggestions for dinner options when we told them we had arrived and were going to quickly unload and then go grab some dinner. They could not have been nicer. When they found a charger that they did not recognize after our stay, they quickly asked if we had left it behind and offered to mail it to us. As it turned out, it was the charger for my daughter's electric scooter, and we were very appreciative of their thoughtfulness. We look forward to staying at Hibiscus House again in the future.

Fishing trip
We went fishing with Gary King aka:The hawg rustler! We caught a bunch of hood Walleye and some white perch and a huge catfish. The air b&b was above all our expectations and very clean and well equipped with any and everything you could need down to spices for cooking and extra hygiene items in case you left something behind when packing. The owners were very nice and friendly and did an awesome job. We will return to this air b&b in the future for sure.
- RoryColumbus, Ohio
Dwight and Kristy are phenomenal hosts and have thought about everything a guest might want or need. Not only have they prepared the location with the necessary ammentities, they even help with possible activities and events in the area to ensure your stay is to your liking. Always a pleasant experience and are by far the best hosts we have ever had. Looking to make this a yearly tradition.
- Karryn L.Aug 2026
This was a great stay, just a 2 minute walk to the beach, and the house had all the amenities we could need. The beach toys and items like chairs, towels, blanket, and cart were so convenient to have too. The hosts were great, kind, and helpful. Love this area, the two small surrounding towns, and of course the Great Lake. A relaxing trip that was much appreciated!
- Tracy
Everything was exceptional...the beautiful location near the beach, the cleanliness of the property, the friendly tour given by Kristy and the many extra comforts (chargers, umbrella, teas, stocked kitchen...)! We had a very relaxing stay. I wish I had more time to spend on location (I was away most of the time for my class reunion activities), but plan to return as I’m in the area frequently. Thank you so much!
- BretLeague City, Texas
The Absolute BEST hosts, with the Absolute BEST home and amenities. We have stayed many places, but The Crewhouse exceeds them All!!
The lake is clean and beautiful, it’s like a 40 sec walk to the most serene beach on Lake Erie. The hosts are quick to suggest the best places to check out. The home is super comfortable and roomy.
Hat tip to Dwight and Kristy for Everything!
- Josh M.Jun 2025
We found the property to be as advertised. Our unit was clean and quiet. We also felt the are was safe
- Scott P.Aug 2022
Lovely location and home
Very lovely home and the surrounding area and water are lovelier than any of the pictures. Hosts were accommodating and always quick to respond to answers to our questions. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
- GregAugust 2023
Very clean and comfortable space, close to the water! My two boys had a great time in the water and fishing off the pier. If you like to cook, the kitchen is fully stocked and there's a nice grill on the porch. We cooked several very nice dinners! There is a small herb garden near the porch that we used to season some of our food which was super nice. I will definitely plan a another trip with Dwight and Kristy soon!
- LorettaEvanston, Illinois
Our first time staying at this cottage and everything was perfect.
Great layout of rooms for both privacy and social hanging out.
We especially loved the landscaped backyard patio.
Hosts Dwight and Kristy were very attentive hosts throughout our stay.
- Nicole
This place was perfect for my sons and I when we came into the area to go to Cedar Point. My boys loved the access to bikes. The community is wonderful. I recommend this place to anyone.
- MatthewBrookfield, Illinois
Hosts were very responsive and provided beach accessories like a wheeled cart, water inflatables, beach toys, beach towels and sunblock. The beach was a short walk, very clean and private.
- MariaOctober 2022
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is lovely: cute, very clean, and quiet. Chances are that if you forgot something, this house has it. The lake is just steps away, and the local park is really good: easy access to the lake and lots of amenities. Dwight and Kristy are wonderful hosts: check in and check out went as smooth as possible, and if you have any questions, they reply very fast. Thank you, and we hope to be back sometime!
- JackieLondon, United Kingdom
The place we stayed at was ok although a little cramped for 4 (2 adults, 2 kids). It’s like a studio apartment. Had all the amenities needed which was great. And a shed full of activities for the grown ups and kids! Beach was within walking distance. Would definitely stay there again.
- Allison K.Jul 2023
Great stay!
GREAT location! I loved being so close to the water. Great spot for a family visit as my kids loved all the offerings the community had.
- DanteHuron, Ohio
We enjoyed our second stay at the cottage as much as the first, and are looking forward to coming back again - highly recommend.
- MelanieFort Wayne, Indiana
We had a fantastic stay! The house had everything we needed—just bring your clothes and food. It was clean, comfortable, and perfectly stocked. The beach access was amazing, and the owners were so easy and great to work with. Highly recommend!
- Noemi
We had an excellent stay at Hibiscus house. Very comfortable and really very equipped with anything you could think of! Beautiful and quiet location, but perfectly close to restaurants, amenities and points of interest.
Dwight and Kristy are the best hosts ever, always there for you, any time. Totally recommended!
Thank you for making our vacation so special
- HollyCharlotte, North Carolina
Excellent accommodations, super kind hosts, beautiful location just steps from the lake—will absolutely visit again. Kristy and Dwight were responsive and thoughtful. This home has been lovingly renovated with comfort and functionality at the forefront. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed to make home cooked meals when desired, a full assortment of spices, utensils, and even some favorite local condiments. And if you’ve never spent time on Lake Erie, this would be a lovely introduction. You will be just steps from the shore with waterfront access.
Kristy was on site when we arrived to give us a full tour (we rented both units) and made sure we had everything we needed for an excellent stay. Highly recommend.
- DuaneHerriman, Utah
Dwight & Kristy are amazing hosts!!
- Casey S.May 2022
What a Spectacular Experience
Hands down Awesome place with amazing Host I Highly Recommend and will definitely be back ! Thanks again for everything
- John H.Jan 2025
Great Stay!
Wonderful location, every amenity you can think of. The decor is so fitting for the area (loved the boat ties for hooks and cabinet handles) washer and dryer was fantastic to not bring home dirty laundry, plenty of privacy even for bigger groups. A summer stay would also be wonderful with plenty of outdoor amenities as well. Walking distance to a beautiful beach Will definitely be returning to experience a summer Stay.
- JesseWatertown, Massachusetts
The "Captain's Quarters" was an extremely cozy place to stay, and Dwight couldn't have been kinder, more flexible, or more proactive as our host. If we could have changed our flight, we would have asked to extend our stay another day. We took notes for things we want to do with our home! And the beach a short walk away is absolutely gorgeous.
- Mark S.Feb 2023
Highly recommend
The cottage was very clean, beds were comfortable, and the location was nice. On top of that, it was stocked with a variety of coffee, tea, creamers, and spices. Check in and out was a breeze. Dwight stayed in touch to ensure that we got in and that everything was in order, which it was.
- JessicaLivingston, Montana
We had an amazing time and the location could not have been better. They have everything you could need in the house and the shed is full of beach toys, chairs, wagons, fishing poles, literally anything you could think you may need on a beach vacation. Beach was just a few houses down and we went every morning and evening. House was the perfect size for our family of six. Patio tavern across the street from the neighborhood had music on the weekend you could sit outside and listen to but couldn’t hear inside the house so it was perfect. We hope to be able to stay again next time we’re in town! Highly recommend.
- AlaynaSaint Charles, Missouri
Great space and hosts that went above and beyond. Loved it. Thank you!!
- KrisanneTucson, Arizona
This was my second stay at Hibiscus House, and I love this little cottage. I wish I could just stay! Dwight & Kristy think of and provide everything that you could possibly need for your time in their abode, and are communicative, friendly, honest, and always responsive. The neighborhood is beautiful, safe, and walkable, and the beaches are lovely, even in February! You will enjoy your time at Hibiscus House.
- Ruben C.Sep 2021
LOVED IT!
We were at the Lake house in MITIWANGA 3 nights, the weather was stellar and we loved everything!! We are newly retired, but have always enjoyed traveling to new places. With this in mind, we have also done a number of reviews over the years AND...this is the 1st time we have agreed to give 5 STARS across the board. Attention to detail, all the xtra touches (e.g. spices, games, water dispenser, etc.) to make it feel homey made it a very enjoyable getaway. Honestly...it was only the weekend rates that kept us from staying even longer. Thanks!
- JamieJune 2025
The lake view is beautiful!! Dwight gave a thorough walk through of the place at check-in and Kristy was there in a couple of minutes when I asked for help with the washer. Everything is fully stocked and there are extra essentials in case you forget something. The pullout couch is very comfortable. slept like a baby!! We had everything that we needed for the week. No complaints.
- Joanne B.Sep 2022
Wonderful bungalow near lake
Location is wonderful-steps away from beautiful Lake Erie. Cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Can’t wait to return!
- Cheryl B.Dec 2024
Love it!
- William
Great place for my kids and me to hang out hat while we explored the area. Very close to the beach and the hosts had so many items available to borrow, like beach chairs, umbrella, etc. Everything was clean and comfortable. Definitely would visit again when we’re back in the area! 😃
- KristiNovember 2022
Dwight and Kristy thought of everything! Condiments, spice rack, toiletries, beach gear, games, portable boom box, I could go on and on. The pumpkin roll welcome gift was so thoughtful and delicious! They made great use of the space and the location is great! We hope to visit again sometime!
- DawnaBay Village, Ohio
Exactly as described. Great hosts!
- Mark & JaneShelby, Ohio
Very Memorable Time with Family!! The host and hostess were always ready and willing to assist anyway they could. Very clean and had such a welcoming environment. We will be back!!!
- AnaIndianapolis, Indiana
If you’re not booking here you’re missing out. I couldn’t have asked for a single thing more. We checked in super late and we were still greeted by the host! Place was one of the cleanest airbnbs I have stayed in by far. The unit was packed with everything I could have asked for or forgotten at home and I truly mean it. My favorite part was the spacious shower! My kid wasn’t bored for a second. When we were not at cedars point he was grabbing something from the shed to play with. Super comfortable neighborhood and walking distance from the beach. Don’t think about it, just book. You won’t regret it. We will be back for sure.
- DanteHuron, Ohio
Wonderful stay, highly recommend.
- ElizabethVermilion, Ohio
The house was very clean and well-maintained. Many unexpected extras were provided as well, like beach accessories and several beverages. Dwight replied to our messages quickly and politely. We had an excellent experience and feel nothing is lacking. We have already recommended this to friends.
- Brett
Dwight was a fantastic host.
My wife and 2 daughters had a great time. We might have had more fun exploring all the stuff in the Hibiscus House than we did at Cedar Point... for sure it was a toss up. Wonderful space!
- KaraLutherville-Timonium, Maryland
We had a great stay here! The house had everything we needed when traveling. It was very clean and great for our family!

From start to finish our experience was AWESOME. Kristy and Dwight really go the extra mile. To Cleanliness, accommodations, and communication. We will be returning every year!!! Very special weekend for us.
- BellaYonkers, New York
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay! We were just a quick walk away from the lake beachfront which felt super private and intimate! Kristy greeted us and she was super friendly! They gifted us a bottle of local wine and gave great recommendations. Place was also stocked with everything anyone would need! Toothbrush, q tips, coffee, tide pods (there is a washer/dryer) We would absolutely recommend you stay here!
- GinaLock Haven, Pennsylvania
The Crew Quarters was a great stay. It had all the amenities we needed and more and was a great home base for our visit. We were in town for a graduation but it was a real treat to be situated so close to the lake. Our hosts were super responsive and helpful, despite our super late arrival. Thank you!!
- Dominic K.Jul 2022
Cute little cabin
Great cabin in a nice quiet neighborhood. Everything you need stocked. Quick walk to private beach

Hibiscus house
We really enjoyed our stay: it had a comfortable beds, great little kitchen, and It was very clean. It had all the little amenities you would need while you stayed. We also enjoyed the porch area in the evenings. It is a wonderful private community and located a short walk to the very nice beach. I love the area and will want to return next year!

- DianeRinggold, Georgia
We had a fantastic time at CrewQuarters! It was stocked with everything imaginable. Simply put, bring yourself and your clothes, everything else is provided. The area is quite, friendly and beautiful. Kristy met with us and gave us a tour and filled in the history of the property. She works very hard to keep it in perfect order. We make several trips to this area to visit our grandson. We will definitely be back.
- BiancaCleveland, Ohio
The house has everything you need. The beach shore is beautiful and Kristy was super nice and helpful.

girls get a away
While looking for a place near Lake Erie close to the lake I found this house. It is perfect for a small group the house is clean and set up nicely. The owners responded quickly to any questions we had. The lake was just a short walk from the house to a nice beach area. We were able to watch eagles fly over us which is why we came to the lake to see eagles! Our weekend was so relaxing and we really enjoyed our stay and said we come back. We give it a 5*
- AndrewChicago, Illinois
I really appreciated the amount of thought that Dwight put into creating the space. It was very comfortable, and we had everything we needed. I definitely would stay here again and would recommend it to others.
- Jacob
Very peaceful and quiet
- JordanLyndhurst, Ohio
Stayed here to go to Halloweekends at Cedar Point, great location for it with proximity to the park AND coffee/ restaurants!
- MattKasson, Minnesota
The home was beautiful and amazing lots of space. It was also very quiet and short distance from the lake. The sunsets were beautiful and relaxing. I was able to work and relax with a quiet neighborhood. Several great restaurants within a short distance along with many lakeside towns to visit within the area. The host was very responsive and great. I will be definitely be coming back whenever in the area.
- Kirsten
This is our third year staying at Dwight and Kristy's bnbs. They are very responsible hosts, and Kristy is always so nice and accommodating upon arrival. Their place is clean, quiet, and beautiful. Thank you for the extras! That was so sweet! We highly recommend these hosts.
- KieraIndianapolis, Indiana
Wonderful place and hosts!
- JamesPittston, Pennsylvania
Dwight and Kristy are awesome hosts. We were met on our arrival date by Kristy and she walked us through the house giving us the tour and local recommendations. The house is beautiful and super close to the beach. It's perfect for a family group. There were 5 of us and we fit easily and had two open bunk beds left over. There is everything you could need here. Comfortable beds and couches, new kitchen, and a couple of TVs too. The wifi worked great as well for the kids internet needs. The neighbors were all super nice and welcoming too. The house is right across from a Basketball court/Tennis Court and Pickleball court and less than a block from a cute little beach. You are also within easy driving distance to Sandusky/Cedar Point and within an hour drive to Cleveland.
We intend to return to this beautiful area and will work on getting back into this house when we do.
- ValerieEden Prairie, Minnesota
This was our first trip to Lake Erie and Dwight made us feel right at home abd gave us local tips to enjoy our time. We loved the lake access, the local shops and restaurants, and the spacious and comfy home with tons of extra toys to make the area enjoyable - bikes, games, and beach chairs.
- Tracey G.Jun 2022
Best Place Ever!
I can not say enough great things about this place or the owners! The beautiful lake house was the best. The owners go out of their way to mark you feel welcome. It has everything you need plus more. I wish I lived closer so we could visit again soon. The place is the perfect location and the owners are so hospitable, they even shared about a meteor shower. I hope we can visit again soon. It is a piece of heaven!
- EricaUxbridge, Massachusetts
Loved our stay here. Owners were more than welcoming. Had an issue with a flat tire and they arrived within minutes with some tools that we could use. That was over and above certainly, we hadn't asked them to do this. This place is private with just a very short walk down to the Lake Erie beach. Safe, peaceful, felt right at home. Definitely recommend this place, and we would not hesitate to book here again.
- DavidCincinnati, Ohio
Awesome place. Dwight and Kristy were extremely responsive.
Hope to come back when the sailboat is up and running!
Thank you !
- Kylee
Dwight was amazing. He showed us were we could find everything in his home. He even came to help me with a small tv issue.. when i booked he also reached out to make sure i knew the place was a little smaller than the pictures made it look which is true but we had no issues. We loved his little house and he had tons of things for my kids to do. We had an amazing time.. .. would deff return
- Kristen
Super cozy home located in a quaint neighborhood. Close to town, restaurants and things to do. Beautiful views and Lake Erie is a short walk.

- Steve
Great little cottage. Would definitely go back if I have work in the area.
- Brittanie
I cannot say enough good things about these host. The pictures don’t do the place justice and they have thought of everything you could possibly need. Host were amazing and space was perfect. Kristy taught us about yooperlite and how to find it and provided everything needed. That was honestly the highlight for our teen and grow kids, hunting yooperlite every night on the beach. The neighbors were friendly and kind also. Nice quiet neighborhood, lots of things to do.
- MeganLebanon, Ohio
We were so happy with our stay. Dwight was so kind and helpful. The house was cozy, comfortable and very well appointed. They thought of everything to make the stay comfortable, relaxing and fun. Gourmet coffees and teas, a bathroom stocked with things you might have forgot. A gaming system, a slot machine, books and so many outdoor activities in the shed. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you might need including spices. I loved that it was just a couple hundred feet from the beach. We spent our nights down there looking for shells and sea glass. It was peaceful and so beautiful. The local restaurants were so good and we fell in love with a local coffee shop. It was a great location. Not touristy very calm and quiet with great access to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.
- JonathanCleveland, Ohio
Dwight’s place was absolutely perfect for myself and my partner. Cozy, enough space, feels like a home away from home. Not to mention being able to walk to the beach and the amenities provided for that as well.
I would definitely stay here again in the future.

Easter Weekend
It was a perfect place for me and my dog to spend the holiday weekend. My brother and family were across the street. We went to the beach Friday when it was warm but windy. Saturday we walked on the pier in Huron (which is dog friendly) and the kids played at the playground. Later my brother and I visited a winery. Throughout the weekend we walked around the quiet streets of Mitiwanga. The cottage is well equipped and had everything I needed for a weekend getaway.

Great Stay!
I stayed here while traveling to Sandusky for a volleyball tournament. It was only 15 minutes from the Cedar Point Sports Center which made it a very convenient location. We loved the property and how close it was to the lake. I would definitely stay here again!
- Cheryl B.Oct 2024
We all enjoyed our stay. Location was perfect.
The property was perfect except as older tenants we needed some hand rails at the doors. ☺️
- Ron
Dwight and Christy were great hosts. I've been to lots of places but never one so well stocked. From beach accessories to a coffee selection and even condiments, snacks and a few drinks. We really enjoyed the little park in front of the house with pickelball, Volley ball and basketball courts.
The beach right by the house was fantastic as well. The place was spotless clean with a very nice gas grill on the patio that we used a lot. Thank you Dwight and Christy!
I highly recommend being a guest here!
- Ken K.Oct 2023
Great place to stay
The owners have literally thought of everything you could possibly want or need during your stay. They are very good hosts. Our family had a great stay.

Perfect Place to Stay!
We booked this property for our trip to Cedar Point to celebrate my nephews birthday. It was myself, my wife, my sister and my nephew. The place was easy to find and exactly as pictured. The curb appeal is fantastic- the gardening is amazing and absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed sitting out front on the patio which offered shade and privacy. While the inside is small, there was plenty of room for what we needed. Everything was clean and we loved the way it was decorated. There was a very thoughtful and much appreciated birthday surprise bowl of treats for my nephew- he was over the moon! The hosts thought of everything - there was a plethora of tea and coffee, everything you would need to cook meals, tons of games, a big TV, beach stuff, bikes, etc. The beach is so close- we saw some beautiful sunsets there. Everyone in the area was very friendly. The door lock uses a code so you don't have to worry about losing a key. Our only regret is that we didn’t have as much time on the short trip to really get to take full advantage of everything offered at the place because we spent most of our time at CP. I would strongly suggest planning extra time to enjoy the property if you are going for any reason other than to enjoy the lake. IF you are looking for a place, look no further because this is the place! Huge thanks to Kristy and Dwight for everything!!! You are stellar people and hosts.
- Christin Marie
Such a clean, cozy, and peaceful property. The short walk to the beach was so pretty! The neighbors were friendly and polite. Dwight and Kristy were extremely quick to respond and flexible with our arrival time in the evening. Love the area and hosts!
- Chris W.Aug 2022
Gem on the Lake
Loved the location, amenities, communication with the owners, thoughtfulness, and perfect little house for a short getaway. Amazing proximity to the lake with an easy 1-min walk to the beach where the smooth stones, perfect sunsets and sunrises, and quiet respite was a great experience for all our family. They thought of everything and it was the perfect respite!
- MeganSeptember 2023
Location was amazing and the amenities were very nice, Dwight was a great host
- Lannea D.Aug 2023
Amazing cottage
We highly recommend and very much enjoyed our stay. It was super clean and close to the beach. The coffee bar was a nice touch, as well as the cottage is stocked with everything you would need. Loved the beautiful beach and benches at the bluff to just sit and relax watching the waves.
- TaraCleveland, Ohio
We had a great stay. Great for kids and families. It was very close to the beach.
- Ashley N.Sep 2022
5/5 Enjoyable!
We really enjoyed our stay! The excellent level of hospitality began even before our arrival. From accommodating our pet, an early arrival and even sharing local events happening during our stay. We loved that this cottage was located in a friendly beach community just a short walk to the beach. We took advantage of sitting on the porch and the many options of tea and coffee Dwight and Kristy provided.The amenities they offered exceeded our expectations. The kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked with essentials as well as all your needs for the beach. We tried Jim’s Pizza box and Angry Bull for meals, they were both very good.(especially the Prime Rib!) Once again thank you for the wonderful stay and we look forward to visiting in the future!
- Deborah S.Aug 2025
Always ready always clean & calming

This was a lovely little cottage and everything we needed. So well equipped and the owners are very friendly and welcoming! Would definitely recommend!

Smashing!
Such a great experience. The cottage is gorgeous, the amenities are myriad, and the location is not to be beat. Run, don’t walk to this lovely VRBO!
- Paul B.Jul 2024
Hosts are the best! Sweet little stay!
The Hibiscus House is as described, super clean, and the best stocked place we have stayed in: they have everything you need! It’s close to the lake, and the owners go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. We highly recommend!
- Faith B.Jun 2026
This property was well maintained and I loved how family friendly the owner was. He had a whole shed stocked with everything you could need and want for the beach.
- KristinaJune 2025
My family and I needed home base for Cedar Point. This home was absolutely perfect. The house was stocked with everything you need and the shed out back is full of things needed for a great day at the beach. The furniture was comfy and there was a great collection of books and games. We spent quite a few nights playing Cards Against Humanity Family Edition! Dwight and Kristy were great! We would not hesitate to stay here again.
- Hannah N.Aug 2025
Dwight and Kristi are wonderful hosts and make your visit accommodating and welcoming. When asked if we could check in early to help us make our plans work with the times we'd be staying, they allowed us to check in the night before our stay with no extra charge. This we so sweet and considerate. The house was stocked with coffee and tea. We are coffee lovers so this was wonderful! The community is beautiful! They had everything we could need to make our trips to the beach simple and enjoyable. The beauty of the sunset from the beach was stunning! My husband and I will likely stay again because this place is perfect for a relaxing couple getaway. The house is also so perfect, especially for a family with small kiddos!
- GeraldCenterville, Ohio
We really like Mitawanga, and Dwight's place was great.
- Agnieszka K.Feb 2022
Quick, last minute, local getaway.
On a whim we decided to do a local getaway. We wanted to be very frugal, as we are remodeling our home. When I found the Hibiscus House, I had to check the price twice, to make sure I was seeing correctly. Located only a few minutes walking distance from the Lake Erie shoreline and beaches, in a small, quiet community, seemed a perfect place. We were pleasantly surprised with a bottle of wine awaiting our arrival, and how well-stocked this little, cozy apartment is! We'll definitely return.
- Brandon T.Jul 2023
Great Getaway
The cottage was in a great location. Close enough to bigger cities without being disturbed by traffic. The size of the cottage was fitting for my family of four. A 13 year old son and a 9 year old daughter. They loved the bunk beds. It was a short walk to the beach. The beach was clean and you could tell that the people in the neighborhood really cared about their community. Everyone drove slowly. Kids played in the streets without worry. We brought along our small dog. He had a great time. While there was no fenced in yard to put him out into, he really enjoyed his more frequent walks. Nice detail is the bag stations at most every corner to clean up the mess your dog made. Very clean properties. The cottage we stayed at, the owners have thought of literally everything. No little detail goes unnoticed. Great coffee and tea selection. Every appliance you could need. Pots, pans, and everything in between. Beds were comfy. Bedding and throw blankets had all been very recently cleaned. Great little bathroom. Happy that I rented from bidet converts. It made it feel just like home. Overall 9/10.
- Carolyn
My family and I had an exceptional vacation at the Shipwreck House. It is the perfect place for relaxing, visiting, making memories, and connecting with amazing people. Dwight and Kristy were extremely accommodating hosts, super friendly, and very helpful in anything we needed. The house itself exceeded my expectations, was comfortable and cozy, incredibly well stocked, and had plenty of room to visit with family. lt was a short stroll to Lake Erie, in fact you could see the stunning lake from the sunroom. There is plenty of beach area to swim and soak up sunshine. The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking! Dwight and Kristy have not only fully stocked the house but have stocked a shed with lake and sand toys, chairs, bikes, pickle ball and basket balls for the courts across the road, supplies to find the “Great Lakes Glowing Rocks”, and more. It is a great, safe neighborhood for kids to play outside. My family fully enjoyed our time, made amazing memories, and will certainly return.
- Steve L.Jul 2026
Awesome place! Only Vrbo I've stayed at that has items stocked for your use. From hygiene essentials to coffee to seasonings, they have everything you may have forgotten or didn't know you needed. Super friendly hosts. The shed out back was full of everything you need for a little beach therapy at their private community beach. Amazing place, amazing people, amazing area. Cedar point was awwsome and the sunsets are to die for! Excellent must stay!
- KimNew Holland, Ohio
From beginning to end Dwight and Kristy were there to answer any questions we had. Kristy met us to give us a tour upon arriving. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The cottage was very clean and had absolutely everything you could need. (They even had supplies on hand for anything you forgot) If you are looking to stay in this area, this place would be hard to beat! Would stay here again!
- Robert
Great neighborhood. Very clean and it has everything one needs. Great spice collection. Highly recommended!!
- MonicaMcAllen, Texas
A fabulous place with fabulous owners. Very clean and well maintained!
- MichelleJune 2023
We had a wonderful stay! We were able to spend some time enjoying the beach, we hiked at Old Woman State Park, spent a day at Cedar Point and explored downtown Vermillion OH. The home had everything we needed to have meals at home and relax after our time out exploring!
- Geoff
Absolutely enjoyed my stay.. The place really clean. The hosts were amazing!!! They put a lot of thought into how they stocked the house with everything you would need and more.. The location is very peaceful and there is lots to do.. The electric car charger works great and was super convenient to have on site... we will definitely stay again!!
- VickySan Juan, Puerto Rico
Perfect place to stay! Great host We will rent it again!!!
- Beth H.Jun 2023
Peaceful stay, everything you need
My daughters and I had a lovely stay. Owners provided lots of extras- wonderful coffee bar, hot and cold water dispenser, extra toiletries if needed, first aid, beach toys, chairs, etc. The lake/ beach access is a two minute walk so it was easy to go back and forth. Gorgeous sunsets! A wonderful, peaceful neighborhood. Thank you for sharing 🙂
- Keri J.Feb 2022
LOVED IT
For a smaller space, it was done perfectly. I really enjoyed the off season. Nice and quiet. Beautiful snow covered lake and trees. I would love to stay again!
- Jessie
Dwight provided an excellent little stay on our way to cedar point! would highly recommend to a friend
- ChristinaOshkosh, Wisconsin
The cottage was clean and cozy for our stay! We were able to enjoy the winery and steakhouse for delicious local eats. Fall colors were beautiful this time of year.
- Cynthia B.Jun 2022
Lovely stay
This house was absolute perfection for our trip. Very clean and the attention to details was splendid. Beautiful beach. I felt so safe here also. Highly recommend.
- CharliCarson City, Nevada
We had the best stay and didn't want to leave! It is a lovely location and perfect for 2 to 3 people. We actually preferred the pull out couch mattress, as it was super comfortable. The neighborhood is adorable and the walk down to the beach is not far, and definitely worth the sunset views. Dwight and Kristy were the best hosts I've had so far (and I've been going to AirBnBs for 9 years). They are super communicative and actually come say hi and give a walk through, as well as local recommendations. Hopefully we will return!
- ClareMinneapolis, Minnesota
Stayed here for a race in Sandusky and what a treat! Gorgeous, beautiful surroundings. Dwight was an awesome host. Will be back!
- Ann O.Mar 2022
two friends contacting while working in different cities
Had great time. The house was fit our needs perfectly. Wish the weather had been a little warmer but that the chance you take in March. We still enjoyed the waterfront. We found bowling alley very friendly. Dwight and his business partner were very easy to work with.
- Jason J.Jun 2022
Mitiwanga Beach Cottage
Cottage was just as described in a lovely, quaint beach community. Many thoughtful amenities have been provided for guests. Excellent communication from Dwight. Would definitely book again.

Great stay, Dwight and Kristy were very accommodating!
- MikhailCincinnati, Ohio
Thank you Dwight and Kristy! The place and the location is great. Beautiful and quiet community right on the beach. We liked everything and would stay there again.
- JoelleTimmins, Canada
My daughter and I had such a wonderful stay! We had the pleasure of meeting Kristy, who was incredibly sweet and welcoming, and the place truly felt like home. The hosts are very generous and have thoughtfully provided everything you could need, including plenty of beach toys for the kids.
The home was exceptionally clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the location couldn’t be better. The beautiful sandy beach is less than a 3 minute walk away, making this the perfect spot for a Cedar Point and beach vacation. We loved watching the gorgeous sunset and even seeing fireflies in the evening! This was genuinely one of the best stays we’ve had. We would happily book with them again and are already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!
- Jay B.Nov 2022
Our First Get-Away
Dwight and Kristy are such lovely people and hosts, they literally thought of every accommodation and amenity! Very, very clean and welcoming abode, we will definitely stay here again. My girlfriend and I love the neighborhood as well, very quiet and very polite neighbors! Such a close walk to the beach and beautiful shores!! - Jay

We are repeat guests at Hibiscus House and it exceeded our expectations again! Such a cozy place and a perfect home away from home! It is stocked with more than you could expect and you are left wanting for nothing! Perfect place to stay!
- Marcela O.Aug 2023
Comfortable home close to many attractions
Our family stayed at Hibiscus House for 6 days. The house has all the amenities to make you feel at home. The hosts make sure their guests have everything they need to have a wonderful stay. They are very generous and thoughtful in ensuring that their guests are comfortable. Hibiscus House is close to many interesting and fun places (e.g. Cedar Point Park, African Wildlife Safari, Bass Island). We also went to Detroit and Cleveland. I highly recommend Hibiscus House and would love to come back.
- SaraBoulder, Colorado
Wonderful place to stay on a long fall weekend - we loved being just steps from the lake as well as a short drive to apple orchards, corn mazes, and of course Cedar Point. The house was excellent - comfortable beds, great kitchen for cooking, really fun board games, and the most comfortable mega couch you can imagine. Great communication from Dwight and Kristy, including everything we needed to know about the house and suggestions of things to do nearby. Dwight even stayed up so we could check in after 1AM when our flight was delayed! We had a great time and would gladly stay here again
- Adam B.Jul 2026
Great property, very well stocked with everything you'd need and more. Excellent outdoor area and beach/water/sunset access.
- Mahogany
first off I want to start by saying I've never met a host as long as I've been booking airbnbs. I have a friend that is a host in my hometown and and that's the only host that I've ever met, so to be able to meet Christy was a great pleasure. she was very friendly gave us a tour of the house and the property pointed out all of the extras and when I mean extras I mean extras. the ambiance was amazing the fact that they had a hibiscus Christmas tree in the living room was great as we were there to celebrate my daughter's 8th birthday and to visit her dad. my girls and I felt right at home. I will definitely say that I overpacked this trip because this Airbnb was packed with things that I never would have expected. from the extra cell phone stands cords extra linens portable fans game system slot machine and unit laundry everything in the kitchen that you could think of needing was there. not to mention the butcher block countertops and being so close to the beach in water were great!
- Lisa
This house was the best! It truly had everything we could need and the owners were prepared for you to not be prepared -- SO caring and ready for anything! Loved it here and the lake was amazing also what views of the water and cedar point!
- Jennifer H.Jun 2023
Cute little place
The house had everything we needed for our week’s stay. All the kitchen and bathroom needs were available. The homeowners were super quick to answer questions. We loved walking to the beach area to people watch. The weather was too windy to fish off the beach and pier areas this week but we found other things to do. The owners know the area so well and gave us some great recommendations for activities. The only con I had about the whole place was the front bedroom, the bed was creaky and with a lightweight mattress and pillows
- Kirsten
This was our second year booking with these hosts! Much like the previous year, they were friendly, helpful, and kind. Kristy was there when we arrived and gave us a tour of the Captain's Quarters, a super cute Airbnb for a small party. We were only two so it accommodated us nicely. It's private and quiet, and after a long day of noisy, wild convention, that is very appreciated. Beautiful spot and would highly recommend.
- Deborah S.Sep 2024
Perfect house with loads if charm
I can not find enough words to tell you all that this wonderful place has. If you looking for convenience To the beach to great food in a calm friendly community. This is the place. The host showed us around and answered all are questions. They have truly thought of everything from comforts to extra over the top extras like all beach needs and sports equipment for a variety if fun , washer and dryer , dishes and a coffee / tea lovers dream of many varieties. Beds are so comfy , fully stocked shower Any cooking style you wish you have. It is there and if I forgot anything /’ll just say perfect quiet, cozy, clean Already made next stay plans, beach is awesome and private, never crowded , beautiful sunsets to warm your heart Thank you Debbie Snyder ,Dana daughter and Grandson David
- Samantha R.Sep 2025
We had a great time the small towns around us where pet friendly with beaches and trails. The host and his wife were amazing. The beach was clean and fun. The food was wonderful alittle higher than we pay at home but really good.The house was great with alot of amenities and a shed for stuff to take to the beach. We had a great time.
- Troy
Great place for a cozy little weekend getaway. Host was fantastic and flexible. Would go again.
- TomErdenheim, Pennsylvania
The Hibiscus House was as described...and more! From the first moment we pulled up, we felt at home! This small cottage has everything you need for a family or group of 4-5 (We had 2 adults, 2 kids, and a grandmom). We spent most of the time exploring the area, especially Cedar Point! There is so much to do within 20- 30 minutes in every direction....plus you are right down the street from private lake access, which was a definate plus for cooling off and hunting for sea glass. If your looking for a low key, down to earth cottage with all the comforts of home and in the middle of all the area attractions....Hibiscus House should be your first choice!
Thank you Dwight and Kristy for a memorable vacation....our kids will always remember when they hit the jackpot on the Hibiscus Slot machine 🤩🤑🤪
- YukoAurora, Illinois
We had a perfect 5-night stay at the Hibiscus House—our kids were so sad to leave! Despite rain in the forecast, the weather was mostly sunny. As a family of color, we were a bit nervous about visiting a small town, but we felt mostly safe and welcomed, with only occasional stares. Kristy and Dwight were exceptional hosts— thoughtful, responsive, and full of great local tips. It’s clear they host out of a passion for helping families create lasting memories. The house was clean, well-stocked, and the sleeping arrangements were ideal for families. Our kids loved the extra beach supplies and the TV games. The only thing we missed was a private outdoor space for little kids to run around, but otherwise, it was perfect. The beach was a quick walk away and absolutely beautiful. We also enjoyed local attractions like Kelleys Island, Mulberry Creek Winery, dining in Westlake, and the Huron River Fest. We couldn’t have asked for a better family getaway and highly recommend the Hibiscus House!
- KseniaColumbus, Ohio
Dwight's place has everything one needs, so many thoughtful touches. And the private beach is awesome. No need to drive, just a short walk. Nearby towns Huron and Vermilion are only 10 min drive and have lots of cafes, restaurants, local shops. It was nice to receive a gift card to a local pet store where I got treats for my dog from the hosts. Dwight and Kristy were very responsive and super nice.
- PhyllisTakoma Park, Maryland
Dwight is friendly, flexible and communicative. The kitchen is well- provisioned with pots, dishes, utensils, and lots of drinks, condiments, sauces etc. that Dwight generously provides. The house is a quick walk to a lovely beach in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. A restful oasis!
- Nisreen H.Aug 2026
The hosts were very professional and easy to communicate with. They were prompt to respond and were willing to resolve all issues; big or small. The location is great especially for seniors who are looking for a quiet place to relax and families with small children. The place was great but the private beach was the icing on the cake!! Thank you Kristie and Dwight! We would love to be back.
- TateMarengo, Iowa
Was a perfect place for us. Had everything we needed and more. Personable hosts and they thought of it all. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to say in the area.

The place was great, the neighborhood was great, Dwight was great. Very comfortable place, short walk to the beach, convenient for visiting Oberlin.

Hibiscus House was very nice. It had all the amenities you would need. Nicely remodeled. Very thoughtful in the details. I loved the porch, the table for 6 and the sitting area made the house seem bigger. The neighborhood was fantastic. Everyone was very friendly. The short walk to the beach was beautiful.
- Jennifer W.Aug 2025
This was such a great place for a Lake Erie getaway! It’s just a short walk down a nice little walkway and set of stairs to the beach. On weekdays, it honestly felt like our own private spot since hardly anyone else was around. The owners really thought of everything for the lake—fishing gear, rafts, life vests, beach towels, you name it. Inside, the house was super clean and stocked with plenty of blankets, pillows, and towels.The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, and we loved hanging out on the patio with the table, chairs, and big grill. The oversized couch in the living room was so comfortable—it fit all four of us with room left over. There are lots of sleeping options, too: three twins, a full, a queen, and a huge pull-out couch. The only thing I'd mention is that the third bedroom/dining room doesn't have AC, so it wouldn't be my first choice for sleeping in the summer. But with all the other beds available, it wasn't a problem.The owner met us when we arrived and walked us through everything, which was really helpful. They were so friendly and made it clear we could reach out if we needed anything. Overall, it’s a great value for the price, and we'd definitely come back!
- JakeUtah, United States
I stayed here for 3 nights while visiting Cedar Point, and it was a great experience all around. The location was super convenient—just a short drive to the park—which made getting there each day quick and easy.
The place was clean, comfortable, and matched the photos perfectly. It had everything I needed for a smooth stay, including a well-stocked kitchen and a cozy space to relax after long days out.
The host was friendly and responsive, and check-in was really simple. No issues at all during the stay. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m back in the area. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Cedar Point or the local area.
- Julie S.Jul 2023
Friendly
Geeted by owners was a first for us. Super nice couple more than expected amenities! Everything you could need to stay on site and enjoy yourself is on the property. Definitely recommend.
- Katie H.Aug 2021
Dwight and hosts were very thoughtful and keep a very intentional home. Would come back!
This place had everything we needed and then some. Talk about spices, floats, towels, grill, sanitizer, you name it! We love this place, and you will too. A verrry short walk from the beach. And you'd think the ac into wouldn't cool the home buttttt that is STRONG and I had to turn it off even! Highly recommended.
- RobertTrenton, Michigan
Awesome spot and hosts!
- LisaPeachtree City, Georgia
Just wow! What a gem! Dwight was extremely helpful and gave us great recommendations for nearby areas. He even gave special attention to our pup (a Pomeranian) and made us feel super comfortable. The Hibiscus House was just perfect for our family of three (2 adults, 1 child......and a pup 🙂 ), but could certainly accommodate a couple more people. And when it says "walking distance" to the beach, it truly is walking distance and super easy to get to. Having all the extra amenities was also a super bonus! One of our goals while staying here was being able to go to Cedar Point, and it was so nice to have an easy drive to it from here. I could go on and on about how wonderful our stay was, but I only have so much room. We could not be happier to have spent our 8 year anniversary here.
- EdOctober 2022
What a nice place to spend a few days, very spacious for its size, lots of nice extras and a great location in a wonderful little community. Highly recommend checking this place out, you will not be disappointed!
- JanelleSeptember 2023
Beautiful house, we came when all the flowers were in bloom. Nice views and great walking distance to waterfront.
- KateColumbus, Ohio
We had a great time! The hosts were extremely gracious and communicative. Definitely recommend this home for a quiet getaway!
- Sommer S.Nov 2024
Wonderful location and thoughtful hosts
The area was pretty much what we expected for a November Lake Erie trip - quiet and peaceful with not a lot of folks around. What was surprising to us was the thoughtfulness and care Dwight and Kristy put into their property: it was clear they have made an effort to accommodate anything you might have need of during your stay. Plenty of beach items are available for use ( particularly liked seeing rollercoasters at Cedar Point through the binoculars!), the kitchen has ample cooking utensils and cookware, on site laundry is also a nice option, although our stay was too short to warrant use this time. And I say this time because we hope to come back with our family next summer to take advantage of warmer weather activities! Thanks to our lovely hosts for an excellent getaway option.
- AlexaCampbellsville, Kentucky
Beautiful and perfect for a group! Right by the beach, very quiet and peaceful. Hosts are friendly and even provide beach supplies. Hope to visit this place again!
- JeramiahTupelo, Mississippi
Great place and wonderful hosts
- TessaOhio, United States
We had such a lovely stay. The hosts were very friendly and kind. I’d definitely recommend it and have already. It was just the right size. They had all sorts of “just incase you forgot” offerings. The house was honey and beds comfortable. The neighborhood was very cute and seemed extremely safe. The lake is a very brief stroll away and was gorgeous.
We actually had to let them know my disabled daughter accidentally broke their picture frame and they were very forgiving and gracious.
We will definitely consider staying with them again if they’ll have us. Maybe with a force field around the replacement frame though. 😁 You won’t regret booking this place. They thought of everything.
- Susan L.Jul 2023
Our stay at the Hibiscus House
We enjoyed our time there. Even though it is very small, it was very clean and had everything that was needed and more.
- ScottCovington, Kentucky
We really enjoyed our stay! The place was awesome. The house was fully stocked and Dwight was a very responsible and generous host. The beach is right when you walk outside and it is a very walkable spot. 10/10 I would recommend!
- Monica M.Jul 2023
Nice Quick Trip
We had a very short stay at the Hibiscus House but enjoyed our time here. The home was very accomodating with many things we might need for a day at the beach, books and games indoors, and the best water/coffee/tea setup I’ve seen anywhere 🙂 We hope to come back someday for a longer trip!
- Robin H.Aug 2022
Perfect little beach house
The Hibiscus House is a sweet cozy beach house that is warm and welcoming. Everything a family needs for beach fun is available and the house is stocked with all essentials plus more! It has a covered patio with comfy furniture, a large table, and grill which is surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants that adds to privacy. It’s in a quiet neighborhood with just a very short stroll to a private beach. It’s little gem!
- Rachele M.Nov 2022
October getaway
Stay at the Hibiscus house was perfect! Our son played a tournament game at, Sport Force Park...house was about 15 minutes away( which was perfect for early morning games). Beach was within 2 minutes walking and so pretty! Dwight and Kristy thought of every last detail in house, which is nice incase you forgot something! They also had a basketball, tennis gear along with other equipment , which my kids enjoyed playing with at court right down the street. Will definitely be checking if house is available if we have any more games nearby, in the coming years !
- Anna H.Jun 2024

Fantastic place!
- Sherry
We had a wonderful time. The beach was so close and it was beautiful. Four days at the lake and in the sun was so relaxing. He already had a beach bag packed with everything including sunscreen and bug spray. Next time we may bring family and get rooms for several.
- Per-Arne F.Aug 2024
A fantastic place!
We stayed 6 days at this lovely place, and it exceeded our expectations. The location is perfect, very close to the beach and relaxing atmosphere. It is 20 min away from Sandusky/Cedar Point. The beach house worked out great for the four of us and it has everything you possible can need on a vacation. The owners are very helpful, fast response on the questions we had, and they had prepared the place perfect to make our visit comfortable. Lots of things you can borrow to use at the beach. Can not go wrong with this place!! We would love to come back in the future

We were so pleased with the accommodations. We had a peaceful stay at the Captain’s Quarters. The amenities were top notch and all the thoughtful extras were very much appreciated. Everything was so clean and perfectly set up for our stay. An early morning walk on the beach was magical to be able to see and hear the sights and sounds of Lake Erie in the winter. We would love to come back again in the warmer months to experience the lake life again. We wouldn’t hesitate to choose to stay here again as well as recommend these accommodations to friends and family who may be visiting the area. It is so close to do many sites and attractions for family fun!

My group and I were down in Ohio for Colossalcon for the week (located pretty close by, too). This listing had everything we needed for a comfortable stay for a group of 6. Most of us slept in the bunk room, except me, because that adjustable bed was too hard to resist! Our late arrivals slept in the Murphy bed, which my sister stated: "Was the most comfortable bed she's ever slept in." I LOVED the renovated kitchen area and all the supplies that I had access to while making meals. I appreciated the alphabetized spices. I can happily vouch that the cookware is awesome and easy to use. The shower also felt like heaven. The couch was the most comfortable couch in the world.
Kristy and Dwight were very responsive hosts. They answered any questions I had about the booking, even before I officially booked. Kristy was there upon arrival (even though we were late) and was super nice on the guided tour! I enjoyed meeting her! If you're looking for a cool place to stay, this is it!

Great location, beach lake access walkable, as well as convenient to Cedar Point. Dwight and Kristy were so responsive, even before we reserved the cottage. Messaged us as we were driving in to let us know about a storm incoming. The cottage was incredibly well equipped and cozy. Will be our go-to to visit Lake Erie. Thanks again!
- Jacob
We felt so comfortable in this house. Everything from the decor to the attentiveness and helpfulness of the hosts made this stay great. The bathroom fixtures are top notch! Great location for beach access and activities. Perfect couples getaway home, cannot recommend them enough!
- Rodney
Dwight was very accommodating on anything we needed during our stay. I would highly recommend staying at Dwight’s property.
- BernadetteBelmont, New Hampshire
Dwight and Kristy were extremely flexible with our ever-changing arrival time. They took the time to meet with us to go over the unit. They offered lots of great recommendations and ideas for our stay. Never have we stay somewhere with such friendly and helpful hosts. We highly recommend staying here and will be back again!
- MelissaIndiana, United States
The communication between the hosts and us was great! They helped alot with things to do and explaining where everything was at in the arbnb. We loved how close the house is to the beach and it was BEAUTIFUL. Made loads of memories! Grateful for this trip and rental! Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed and it was a really comfortable, cute studio! We will return.
- Danell
The house is in a lovely, quiet lakeside neighborhood. It was well stocked with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the slot machine, the video games, the bikes and the treasure hunting kit that were all provided. Dwight was a very helpful, gracious host. I would recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area.
- Val
-The bed was great, even though I’m tall! I only bumped my head while laying down a few times, haha.
-The pull out was also really comfy, and super easy to take in and out. The blankets were really soft!
-We really appreciate how accommodating they were, especially with the stuff in the medicine cabinet and the kitchen cabinets. As well as how fast they were able to come in and troubleshoot the AC, we were really grateful they were able to do that so quickly.
-The shower was a peak highlight, with the stool and the handheld attachment, and the soap provided smelled wonderful.
-Despite being nervous meeting a host in person, Dwight was personable and made me feel safe upon arrival.

Best VRBO !
I was so impressed with every little touch and nicety- the entire place was thoughtful and purposeful. We have stayed at MANY VRBO’s and this was definitely in the top 5!!

Cabin close to Lake Erie
Nice little cabin. Very well stocked with needed supplies. Needed: a small table beside the sink for cosmetics etc. The bunk room smelled like moth balls. Wish the weather was warmer to use the beautiful, inviting patio. Nice plants out front.

Everything about this listing is fabulous. This was our 3 year staying there. We just love it

Little Gem
The Hibiscus House met all of our families needs and more! We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor space. The beach is beautiful and very short walk away. The hosts were wonderful and available during our stay. We enjoyed everything from riding bikes to collecting sea glass to relaxing on the patio. We would definitely return!
- Rizer
This place was awesome! Extremely clean and cozy! We will definitely be back!
- JenniferMansfield, Ohio
What a fantastic week! The hosts are so friendly and helpful. Super communication! The extra mile they go to create a wonderful experience is so appreciated. Looking forward to returning!
- Houston
It was a wonderful stay, will go back next time I'm around. It was nice and peaceful.
- Anna
I will be recommending this place to anyone I hear is planning to visit Lake Erie! Great hosts, great location, and perfect size house for my husband and I. Nice and quiet area, with the perfect spot on the lake to fish or swim. We're already talking about going back next year!
- Mark S.Mar 2023
Our second visit this year
Like our first visit, everything was clean, comfortable, and well stocked (which was wonderful since I forgot to pack coffee). Dwight was in touch to ensure that our trip was fun, even suggesting places of interest to visit. We hope to return soon.
- JenniferMansfield, Ohio
We had a wonderful stay! We had a fantastic time! The hosts were very good at communicating before during and after our stay! The house was perfect for the 2 of us. We had everything we needed and more! And the walks on the beach looking for washed glass were a highlight of our stay! We would love to come back soon!
- DeannaFort Wayne, Indiana
Dwight was attentive and responsive
- NicholasWalled Lake, Michigan
’'ve had a few bad experiences with ABNBs the last few years. This experience made me have faith again. This little home couldn’t have been more perfect for my family. Every single one of us agreed it was the best place we’ve stayed. Dwight really thought of everything. I mean EVERYTHING! The coffee and Tea selections were super cool. My 4 year old was super excited that there were bikes to ride. The beach near the home was beautiful. I wish we had more time to spend at the home while visiting for Halloweekends. I will definitely be trying to come and visit again!
- BarryNew Kensington, Pennsylvania
This property was perfect for our needs! It was clean, cozy, and had everything you need in case you forgot anything! Dwight was very helpful with everything from check-in time to providing us a place to store our boat trailer. The beach, which was a 3 minute walk from the property, was an awesome location to make a fire and watch the sunset!

Anniversary Getaway
Our stay was beyond words!!! From the moment we pulled in the parking space right in front of the Lil Cozy & Cute Cottage until we departed, was AMAZING & SUPER THOUGHTFUL! We truly enjoyed every moment!!! The Sunset & Sunrise was gorgeous, all of the add-one were an amazing experience! Thank you ever so kindly for the local wine & donuts, BONUS!!! Dwight & Kristy, I wish you a huge success as you deserve! We had a great time & will definitely be back!!! Love always, The Morales’
- Jay B.Mar 2023
Perfect!
Loved our stay here this past weekend! Loved being able to walk a short distance to see the lake and enjoy the view. Great host and property!!! Bringing the family back for sure! We loved it ❤️

Great Getaway
Dwight was so nice, responsive, personable, and proud of his cute little property! The property was cute, clean, comfortable, well stocked, the grounds were well kept and pretty! I would highly recommend this property!
- TrystanCrown Point, Indiana
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. We were greeted with warm welcome and they provided great local advice. They were extremely accomodating. The home is very clean and comfortable. They did a great job at making it feel like home, rather than just another Airbnb. 10/10 recommend.
- NathanColumbus, Ohio
I've never seen a more well-stocked and equipped Airbnb. So many little, thoughtful things here and there. And there's a slot machine!
- Lexi
The Airbnb was very spacious, and the host was very detailed in the walkthrough with us on the various amenities. There was a bit of construction on the home next door that was a bit noisy when waking up, but that was obviously outside of the host’s control. I didn’t notice it too much, and that didn’t negatively impact my review at all. I greatly appreciate having the opportunity to stay here while on my trip!
- ChristinaLas Vegas, Nevada
Staying at Hibiscus House was a wonderful experience. It was clean, comfy, and very well stocked. They had a large seasoning cabinet full of anything you might want and their coffee and tea selection was fantastic. The area was lovely and we were only a short walk from the shore of Lake Erie. Dwight and Kristy were amazing, so kind and willing to help and give suggestions on what to do in the area. My only regret is not being able to stay longer! Hopefully we will be able to return and have another great stay in the future.
- Jaime
Great location next to the water. The hosts thought of everything, we had a wonderful time.
- Kathy K.Aug 2025
Great location! Loved the water cooler. Mattress was nice and firm. Lots of extras in home, like spices and first aid supplies. Quiet neighborhood.
- Gina
Dwight and Kristy were amazing hosts! The property was more than we expected. There wasn’t a detail that was overlooked or forgotten to make it feel like home. Having access to beach equipment and children’s toys for the park were an unexpected bonus! The property was pristine and beautifully decorated. The beach area was absolutely beautiful! We enjoyed days on the sand/water and evenings with sunsets. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location or property. Every amenity was accounted for and then some. Kristy and Dwight were highly responsive and offered insight into local activities. Highly recommend!!

Cozy Lake House
A small gem in a great location on Lake Erie. Short walk to well maintained private beach. Host provided everything you need to enjoy your time there with many extra and thoughtful items. Communication with Dwight and Kristy was excellent. Extra happy to be able to bring our pup on vacation with us although pets are not allowed on the beach. We would definitely recommend the place to a small family. Fun can be had by all ages.
- MichaelErie, Pennsylvania
We were absolutely blown away! It was an Air BnB experience like no other. I don't know where to begin. They're so friendly and helpful. The beach! Home was so well stocked, I mean, EVERYTHING! Quiet, safe, beautiful, comfortable, clean, I was genuinely impressed and will definitely return someday.
- Catherine D.Jul 2026
My daughter, grandson and I had a very pleasant stay! Everything was clean and new and modern. I especially appreciated the ice dispenser on the refrigerator; it came in very handy. My daughter loved the modern faucets, the front sitting room, and most of all, the beach. It was very clean and restful. Kristy had shown me a book about collecting sea glass when I checked in, and we actually found some on the beach! My granddaughter came to visit for a couple of hours and also loved the beach,I appreciated that everything was in great working order (I've stayed places where this was not always the case). The hosts were attentive to our needs. Although we didn't have any issues during our stay, my grandson left a ring there, which Dwight and Kristy are mailing back to us.So obviously we recommend this property for a very pleasant vacation.
- Michael C.Oct 2026
We came in to do 3 days at cedar point with 5 boys ranging from 15 - 8 and couldn't have been happier with this place. Having the hosts greet us and help us orient to the place and the area was so helpful!! The shower is something you can melt into, the back patio with the grill was fantastic, and the kitchen was well stocked. In the end, we loved it!!
- Rachel
Beautiful little place and perfect for me and my 2 teenage kids! Just steps from the beach which was also beautiful! we had more than what we needed and both Kristy and Dwight were very responsive and helpful!
- Cheryln R.Sep 2023
Sister and I spent 4 nights at the beautiful Hibiscus House. Very clean. Very warm and inviting, such a relaxing home away from home for us. We don’t cook when we are on vacation, but anything we would have needed was in the well appointed kitchen. The beds were comfortable, bedding cool blues and greens...very lake feeling! Roku TV available. Dwight and Kristy are wonderful hosts. Very quick to answer any questions I had. We were surprised with a nice bottle of local wine. Located in a nice, quiet neighborhood, everyone we met were very friendly. We spent the majority of our time down on the lake shore, which is just a few minutes walk from the house. Plenty of beach items are provided, including beach towels. We did use the beach cart and chairs that are in the building behind the house. We like to be on the sand near (and in) the water, so we didn’t go out much, but Dwight did leave a note suggesting places to visit. We enjoyed our time spent at Hibiscus House so much we checked the 2024 calendar while we were still there. A very popular destination, it looks like we will have to look into 2025!! We loved it here, and look forward to a future stay at the Hibiscus house!!! Thank you Dwight & Kristy!!!
- DannyBensalem, Pennsylvania
Dwight and Kristy went above and beyond to meet our unique accommodation needs, the house was beautiful and spotless, the house was as close to the private beach as you could hope for. I cannot speak highly enough about Dwight and Kristy, fantastic hosts with an unrivaled sense of hospitality.

Fall trip
Super clean place very nicely put together would definitely recommend
- Amanda E.Jul 2026
Highly recommend, Dwight and Kristy were wonderful hosts, very helpful and they have thought of everything! I brought my 5 children to cedar point and found hibiscus house on VRBO. It was the perfect place to cool off in the lake and enjoy the views. They had everything we needed for the beach, I didn't have to pack anything but swimsuits! We would definitely return. Way better than any hotel stay and everybody was very friendly in the area.
- RoryJuly 2023
Dwight and Kristy were the consumate hosts as they met me at the location and explained all of the amenities and necessary details for our stay. Kind and cordial and very clear about their home and how to checkout etc
