Van Buren Bay Lake Erie Home
About this house rental
This comfortable house is located in the beach community of Van Buren Bay, a community of about 75 houses and cottages nestled along the beach of the bay. Access to the beach is by public path between the two houses directly across the street. The lakes have been changing so that sometimes there is sand and sometimes not. Besides the beach, the community has a tennis court and two playgrounds. The flat roads are good for bicycling. The first floor consists of a large living-dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, a master bedroom and a bath, along with a garage which is used as a storage room. There is a second bath and three bedrooms on the second floor. There are beds for 13 (see details) and two cots which can be placed in the upstairs hall or the garage. The towns of Dunkirk and Fredonia are about five miles away with restaurants, shopping and activities. Erie PA is an hour west and Buffalo is an hour east. Chautauqua Institute and Jamestown NY are within an hour. Niagara Fall is about 1 1/2 hours. Summer season (JUly and August) rentals are a minimum of one week and are from Saturday to Saturday. The remainder of the year the minimum stay is three days. Besides being a great place for a family vacation, this is a good location for winery touring, antique shopping, skiing and sightseeing, particularly Buffalo and Niagara. The lakes are changing so sometimes there is no beach and the water is up to the beach steps.

The owner was most responsive to a plumbing issue we had. One call and the plumber was on site the same day. Property was very clean. All needed supplies were available and plentiful. All appliances were in great working order. The grill was clean and ready for cooking. We had family of diverse ages and all enjoyed the home. Walking across the street to the lake was a treat! Location provided easy access to many attractions. Great hosts, lovely home, wonderful location!

We rented this house as a supplemental house to another property we rented. House is dated but clean and well equipped. Updated kitchen ware for cooking. Kids / teens were happy to have the bicycles and boogie boards.

Very nice, comfortable place to stay. Felt like home. There is nothing you could need that wasn't in this house.

Very nice lake house...but only for the view. The owners have done a very nice job keeping the house in great shape! We were under impression after reading the description on VRBO that we would have a beach to sit iyn and hang out at during our stay. Upon arriving and being able to check in early which is a plus we ventured out to find the beach. We walked up and down the road looking for any sign of beach access. We finally found a lady (neighbor) outside across the street watering flowers. We asked her about the beach and how to gain access. She informed us that the beach has been gone for almost 3 years due to rising water levels and that the actual access was washed out last December during a winter storm. She told us the closest beach access that wasn't under construction was within driving distance not walking. Upon talking to the owner she claimed she was not aware of the current beach and access situation. I asked the owner to update the information on VRBO so people can make an informed choice in staying at an un air conditioned lake house with no beach or beach access. The owner offered us a small refund for the inconvenience which we accepted, however, I would not pay anywhere near what we were charged to stay there again.

The home was extremely welcoming for our 2 year old, dogs, and family. The host has plenty of entertainment for children of all ages. Perfect getaway location for a large family, with all the local shops right down the road. Definitely a hidden gem!

Went for leap peeping and for a relief of 'cabin fever'. Good location not far to Niagara Falls, Letchworth State Park and Allegheny National forest - all day trips. The Graycliff Conservatory is only an 45 minute drive away. Although a little dated, the property was roomy, the kitchen well stocked, the hot water plentiful, the wifi fast. Lake Erie seemed high, so there was limited beach across the street, so we went down the road to Point Gratiot for beach and the Dunkirk pier is great. On the down side the Keurig was caput, so it was drip as a backup (we knew this before we came, so we were prepared), and we had some troubles with the front door, but we went through the garage with no issues. Overall, we had good weather and a fine time.

This property works well for large families. Plenty of bedroom space. Kitchen was well-equipped and all appliances worked great. Nice patio with outdoor seating. There is a view of the lake, unfortunately no access to the beach. Neighborhood is very friendly and quiet.

This was a fantastic find! It was spotlessly clean (seriously: we took a coffee cup from a top shelf and it had clearly been dusted recently!) and had a ton of space for spreading out, inside and out. The neighborhood was quiet and very walkable, and the location was perfect for us. We especially enjoyed the short drive up to Dunkirk to see the lighthouse and hang out on the sandy beaches there. Staying here felt a little like visiting family -- nothing too fancy, but just what we needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

This house is almost on Lake Erie, The lake is behind the houses across the street. Quiet for our beautiful September weekend. It is a dated house. Clean and easy to get into. Lots of beds. The stove didn’t work well, we had to reseat the elements. It wouldn’t heat on low settings, but did when turned higher. It has a nice downstairs bedroom which worked well for grandma in a wheelchair. I would rent this house again.

We enjoyed our stay! It’s a short walk to the beach but due to weather there wasn’t any beach. But we could walk to see the sunset. And there was a beach five minutes away that we went to every day. Plenty of seating and sleeping availability at the house. Great little shower to wash off the beach before you go in. Fridge and freezer held all our food. We had a great family vacation chilling at the house, playing games, cooking out, and even going to Lily Dale for the day. The next-door neighbor was very helpful in giving ideas of places to eat and for the kids. The owner was very accommodating to our group and responded quickly to any questions.
